a trans man with brown skin kneeling down on the floor in light pink shirt and skirt. angel wings are sprouting from his back. he is a holding a bouquet of white roses and pink flowers. he is looking at the camera while crying. there are broken hearts and unread letters at his feet, in pink and white. the text reads “Lonely Hearts Club”, with lyrics in the corner of the page.

a purple tiefling with short horns and a wide hat that looks like a dinosaur. he is wearing a crop top and long bellbottom pants. a tiefling with curved horns, brown skim, and a scarred eye. they are wearing a large hat with yellow tassels, and a matching top. he has long pants with frayed endings. he is smiling.

aerith and tifa from final fantasy 7 looking at each other affectionately. they seem to be meeting for the first time, and tifa is starstruck at aerith.

Ethan, a dogboy, playfully looks back at the viewer, back towards them, holding out a peace sign. A large cloud in the distance towers over him.

Watch the videos of our people celebrating and fuel up on joy for the next phase of the fight for a Free Palestine. We will never stop until our people have the dignity of full lives on our land: self determination, freedom of movement, the right to return. In our lifetime.
