Loved By The Sun

A slim southeast asian person with pink flowers and pearls in their hair, leaning forward. They wear Garuda earrings, (as they are called in the philippinss), and look Joyful. A brass belt hold up pink trousers, and they wear armlets and bangles. Although it is not pictured, they are a kinnara: the celestial dancer, half bird, half person, of southeast asian and south asian lore. Facing them is their lover. A tall, well-muscled man. His hair is wild and curly, falling over his shoulders, and he wears pectoral necklaces and thick armbands, similar to the royal attire of the kings of southeast asian mandala. He holds the other person's face along his fingers tenderly. The room they are in is made private with tapestries bearing wax-dyed fabrics called "batik". It is decorated with brass incense holders and shell lanterns- the room being tightly wound along the lovers.

People shifted from labeling people as abusers to narcissists. Super lame. The orobouros of trying to taxonomize people who do bad things as inherent only to a specific kind of person is an intellectual void

Imperialists, coincidentally almost always white westerners, invented chopping time into smaller and smaller fractions in order to be more efficiently capitalistic imperialists, the same way they did with borders and nations, etc etc. Similarly what white queers will do with gender

Folks, Israel is not letting aid in which means Palestinians continue to have to buy food on the black market from Israel sponsored gangs. If you can donate a little money to the fundraisers we're posting, you can keep someone alive. Palestinians wouldn't beg if they didn't have to.

UNRWA @unrwa.org · 3d

UNRWA has enough food outside #Gaza to supply people there for 3 months, amid desperate need. Our teams stand ready to deliver it.

But despite the #ceasefire, the Israeli Authorities’ block on UNRWA bringing any supplies into Gaza still continues.

Let us get aid into Gaza at the full scale needed.

The best time to boycott Xbox and Microsoft was when BDS called for it, the next best time is now. Focused, targeted boycotts work, this one is working, and all you got to do to support it is go play other games. Literally the least you could do in this moment in history

BDS movement @bdsmovement.bsky.social · 23d

But this win means our collective pressure is working. Palestinians call for increased global BDS and shareholder pressure until Microsoft adheres to international law and ends all complicity in Israel’s atrocity crimes.

Aly ⋅ ✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧ 🪬 @artlyna12.bsky.social · 2d

Absolutely Malding over the fact that bilbo baggins in the movie is played by martin freeman like i absolutely hate that guy, i hate his guts, and while i can acknowledge that his bilbo is fun, it's also disheartening to see bilbo not taken seriously bcs his actor is, yk, a piece of shit

Okay I guess i'll just be insane here with my own headcanons. I guess it's time to grow up and not delve in fandoms anymore okay fine

There is no reason to suspend the account of a farmer from Gaza 22 times. Bluesky is a zionist run app. It doesn't matter if you're here or on X, unless you don't consider Palestinians human beings.

Please donate or share

Having to watch my cis women professors liberally use terf dog-whistling terms like did they understand anything from reading gender theory or did they just cherry pick some parts they like

How tf did my mom come to the conclusion that I was prideful and wanted to be at the top of the family hierarchy when I was 17??? Like I was fucking 17. I was a teenager. All I wanted was to be listened to and understood

Some doodles trying to put bilbo in more dwarven vibe of clothing while still keeping the hobbit aspect of it and vice versa for thorin :DD I learned about chetalaines in the process which i thought was p perfect for the fusion
