palestinian lesbians once again ✨
{ #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.

The woman to the right is wearing a heavy coin headdress that has chains leading down to her waist. Her face has subtle tattoos that match those on her hand.

In the arched window behind them there are palm trees in the distance and foliage that coveres the bottom of the window.

You ever just have to pay $6,800 all of a sudden? That's how much the yard cleanup is gonna cost. He'll do a good job though, and that'll be a big weight of our shoulders (to be replaced with the weight of credit card debt)

Anyway, buy my books? 😬
