So today is a important day it’s my ✨birthday✨ As is tradition I make a art piece to celebrate But today is a lot more special

You see I have learnt so much in this year through the beginning of school and who I am

To the people who hurt me and betrayed me or to the people who came into my life and gave me support

Such as my cartoon characters without these characters from these shows that taught me

Like wander who taught me to help anyone no matter who are where they come from or to moon girl who taught me I am intelligent in my own ways

To skid and pump who taught me I’m not alone in my weirdness

But to all of my friends who made me keep going no matter what I was going through in my life

Either them real or being cartoons these people and characters taught me so much and I will never stop being me

Thank you all for the love and support of my art …

Everyone keep going

And repost this to send the message that none of us are alone

Even if life gives us pain I believe it is followed by love and forgiveness

Don’t give up

Do what I did learn something new, make a new friend, join a club do anything all of us together have purpose and a destiny in our lives so go out there AND CHANGE THIS WORLD

Basem Al-Khandaqji, a Palestinian prisoner in Israeli jail, has won the International Prize for Arabic Fiction for his book, "A Mask, the Color of the Sky," which is about a Palestinian who takes on an Israeli’s identity.

He was unable to recieve the Prize as he was jailed for three life sentences from back in 2004. The person who recieved the reward on his behalf says Khandaqji smuggled the book out of jail page by page so as to avoid the suspicion of Israeli jailers.

The book is about a Palestinian archeologist who assumes an Israeli's identity after finding the Israeli's identity card in an old coat. Nur, the Palestinian, becomes the Jewish Israeli "Ur," and he travels through society to explore his occupiers way of life.

Israel has refused to allow Al-Khandaqji the cash prize, as they claim payment for terrorists is forbidden. However, the fact that Basem won this prize, which is called the "Arabic Booker" is outstanding in itself, considering the lengths he went through to write and publish the book.

This book is a testament to Palestinian resistance and art, showing the lengths Palestinians go through to make their voices heard, and the excellence of their crafts.

one thing i’m slowly picking up on is that a lot of the people who are saying ‘ukraine should negotiate with putin’ don’t actually realise that this war did not begin in february 2022. this war has been going on for over 8 years, and the february invasion was the final nail in the coffin that made ukraine go ‘enough. we cannot appease putin anymore, we cannot negotiate, we simply have to fight back’. 

yanukovych was elected as president in 2012 on a ‘tighter ties with the EU’ platform. he proceeded to betray that platform, cosying up with putin and attempting to take ukraine in a direction which involved closer economic ties to russia. that decision triggered the euromaidan protests of 2013-14, the deaths of hundreds of ukrainian civilians, and eventually yanukovych fled to russia where he was granted asylum by putin himself. the berkut (special military forces) were dissolved, and with yanukovych gone ukraine signed the trade agreement with the EU. these events are known as the ‘revolution of dignity’.

putin’s response to this (ukraine’s pointed desire to be aligned with western europe, not russia) was to invade and annexe crimea. russian military presence was escalated on the peninsula, and nuclear threats were made (sound familiar?) to prevent ukraine and/or the west from doing anything to return crimea to ukrainian control. despite ukraine risking so much to become more aligned with the west, the west did nothing about this for fear of nuclear attacks. ukraine was told to just accept it, that this annexation was a necessary sacrifice for wider peace.

in 2015, putin began to send militant forces into eastern ukraine to actively back russian-separatist voices in the donbass. on a fundamental level, ukraine lost control of donetsk and luhansk due to putin shoving mercenaries into the region. similar to how putin actively placed russians into crimea to prove it was majority russia, he began to do the same in donetsk and luhansk. unlike crimea, however, there was no ‘official annexation’ declaration made… at least, not until february 2022, the day before the full scale invasion.

add in multiple cyber-attacks, false propaganda being promoted, and a year of military build up on the russo-ukraine border throughout 2021 and into 2022, and there is absolutely no argument that can be viably made against the fact that this war has been going on for almost a decade. and fundamentally, i don’t think a lot of people actually realise that. they realise putin is a maniac who believes ukraine is not a valid country, but they don’t realise that this invasion in february 2022 was not just a random decision putin made. it was the next logical step (in his mind) considering every step he’s made in the last decade has been met with appeasement, appeasement, appeasement. he has faced next to no consequences for what he’s done to ukraine. and so of course that has then made him go ‘excellent, time for another round then’.

the end to this war is full russian withdrawal. that is the only end to this war, the only end we should accept, and the only end which will actually be an end. putin’s threat of using nuclear war was precisely why the world did nothing as he annexed crimea. and it set a precedent that he could use that threat again and face no consequences. of course ukraine is fighting back. of course the world is backing them. we have to. we must. this war did not begin in 2022, it began many years before that. to quote zelenskyy, “everything started with crimea, and everything will end with crimea.”

ukrainian liberation (and that absolutely includes crimea) is coming. the trajectory of this war is only going in one direction, and that’s in ukraine’s favour. appeasing putin is what will make this war drag out for another decade or so, because we’ve tried appeasement for close to a decade already. and it didn’t work. it led to putin believing he had the right to begin a full scale invasion.

hey wait we need to talk about this conversation more
