Detailed thread of my Palestinian Lesbians piece! 🌿(Alt included) - (1/7) { #art #pride }

Digital art Illustration of two women in a tender embrace in front of a arched window. Both women are Palestinian and wearing elaborately decorated traditional thobes. The woman to the left has a deeper skin tone and a tender smile. Her braided black hair is decorated with silver ornaments towards the bottom.

Today, a thread to honor and celebrate #IndigenousPeoplesDay.
The world is so big, so there will be a second and maybe a third part.
We will begin with Zuni weaver We’wha (1849-1896).

🧵 1/20

Robin (she/he-ella/él) @merryrobin.bsky.social · Aug 27

We’wha (1849-1896), a notable weaver and potter Lhamana (Zuni Two Spirit), took on both masculine and feminine tasks as a Zuni cultural ambassador and pottery and textile artist.
Also a spiritual leader, We’wha endeavored to preserve the history, traditions, and knowledge of the Zuni people.

A black and white, full body portrait of We'wha, a highly respected cultural figure in Zuni culture, known as a "lhamana" (two spirits). We'wha is standing, looking at the camera, wearing traditional Zuni attire, with patterned clothing, woven belts, a long beaded necklace, and earrings. The hair is styled with side buns adorned with ribbons.

“I want to see IchiMizu as Roger and Mimi from Rent!” Said one guy ever (me) #prsk

Ichika and Mizuki playing Roger and Mimi from the musical Rent. The scene has Ichika singing “I should tell you/ I’m disaster/ I don’t know how to begin it” with a pained expression while clutching her chest. Mizuki looks at her with a concerned expression. She grabs her hand and sings back “Let’s just make this part go faster/ I have yet to be in it.” And this leaves Ichika with an awed expression while Mizuki looks at their intertwined hands warmly.

30 House Democrats sign a letter led by Jake Auchincloss criticizing countries for recognizing Palestine

The letter also praised the Arab League’s recent statement which calls on Hamas to disarm, while not realizing the statement was part of French-Saudi push for recognizing Palestinian statehood.

The Honorable Marco Rubio
Secretary of State
U.S. Department of State
2201 C Street NW
Washington, DC 20520
Dear Secretary Rubio:
We write to urge immediate U.S. diplomatic engagement in response to the historic statement from the Arab League. For the first time, the world's Arab countries have condemned Hamas's October 7 attack, called for its disarmament and removal from power in Gaza, called for the release of all the hostages, and endorsed a path toward a two-state solution rooted in security, legitimacy, and diplomacy. While there is much we disagree with in the statement, we do believe that this breakthrough presents a rare and urgent opportunity to ensure Israel's security and create a brighter future for innocent Palestinians free from Hamas through American leadership.
We urge you to work closely with Israel and move quickly to convene key regional and international partners to broker a coordinated agreement that achieves three vital objectives: (1) the immediate and unconditional release of all Israeli hostages held by Hamas: (2) the removal of Hamas from political and military control of Gaza; and (3) a responsible de-escalation of the conflict to protect civilians and create space for reconstruction, governance reform, and peacebuilding.
The statement made at the conference offers a unique opportunity-one that strengthens both Israel's long-term security and Palestinians' aspirations for self-determination under accountable, nonviolent leadership. While we once again emphasize that we do not endorse everything in the text, we recognize the unprecedented nature of the declaration and believe it presents a positive shift that opens the door to productive diplomacy and long-term solutions,
We believe this approach is far more constructive than recent unilateral and performative recognitions of a Palestinian state by other nations, which risk emboldening Hamas, entrenching division, and undermining the very legitimacy and peace such recognition purports to a…

I'll start! Hi, I'm Giulia, videogame art director and illustrator from Italy. I rot about dnd OCs in my spare time.

illustration, painted in warm grays and reds, of Sheireen (OC - a drow woman of undefined age, with rot exposing the flesh of the left side of her face and hand) wrapped in a dark shawl blown by the wind. In the background, a barren land with a tower crumbling in the air against the backdrop of a red moon.

a digital painting, featuring two mermaids deep underwater. One of them has a snake-like tail, long hair floating behind her, the other has octopus tentacles that frame the picture. The octopus mermaid is adorned in golden jewels, and debris from ships rest in the background. The two are embracing lovingly, admiring a glowing pendant the snake siren brough to her companion as a gift. The jewel emits bright golden light that illuminates the two.

[OC - Fley] a tiefling casting a spell directly at the viewer. Their hand is outstretched and their eyes glow golden, as their long hair are swept around with the flow of magic.

fullbody portrait of a elf woman in a layered red outfit with various satchels containing instruments like brushes and scalpels, and holding various scrolls. She stands proudly in a dusty, sandy environment, a cheeky smile on her face.
