We need to love the world because that's the only place we can hang out

[nattousan]

ok so, I approached my local library with a proposal to donate a mural as a way to A: build portfolio/gain practical experience and B: give back to a beloved public institution. The director was very enthusiastic about it and i've been working on it since the beginning of March. Come with me as I endeavor to paint what is in all honesty an excessive amount of birds

I wanted the birds to look like they were actually in the space so first thing after doing the draft was to do a lighting study

after that I covered the walls in letters in lieu of a projector/vr headset bc i have neither of those :) Then i take a picture of the section of wall and superimpose the lineart over top of it so I can pencil in the lines

et voila

and that was a whole week on it's own so next comes the paintin' >:)

[nattousan]

and now, the birds

Birds 1 and 2/14: Red Winged Blackbird, Male and female, Agelaius phoeniceus

[nattousan]

Bird 3/14, American Robin, Turdus migratorius

[nattousan]

Hawaiʻi is currently in the midst of a natural disaster if you didnt know

Apparently there isn’t much news coverage of this outside of the islands

Towns are flooded, homes destroyed and collapsed, roads collapsed, lives at risk, gas leaks from the flood damage

Haleiwa and Waialua are currently evacuated because the 120 year old dam is at risk of bursting

Mind you that damn is owned by Dole. Theyve known about it needing to be fixed for years and years and years. Despite having more than enough money they refuse

The state has been trying to buy it out from them for years so they can fix it, but the sale hasn’t gone through

Keep in mind that the Dole family were the ones who illegally imprisoned Queen Liliuʻokalani and illegally overthrew the monarchy.

If I see another goddamn person say how sad this is for the tourists whose “trips were ruined” and compare a messed up vacation to people losing their homes, belongings, and livelihoods, I’m going to lose my mind

I am so lucky that my family or friend’s are safe and the few whose houses flooded didnt have it too bad, but so so so many were not as fortunate

If you haven’t heard anything about this until now, I suggest looking into it

The sirens didn’t go off until the flood had been going on for hours. Our state government is spending so much money on a fucking monorail we don’t need rather than fixing the infrastructure.

It’s been the locals and Kanaka doing the most to help get people to safety from the start

I don’t really know how to end this

I just need to know people are aware

I need to know people are seeing whats happening

Thousands evacuated as Hawaii faces worst flooding in 20 years

"Don't take this storm lightly," Hawaii Governor Josh Green warned on Saturday, as more rain is expected on Oahu and Maui.

For everyone that doesn’t know, there has been a school shooting in Tumbler Ridge, BC. There are 25 injured and 10 dead so far, one of which is the assumed shooter who shot herself.

The shooting occurred on the shared campus of the High School, Elementary School, Daycare, and Community College. The majority of the victims were students at the high school, though 2 were found at a second location which is currently being searched further.

I do not know much else, only what’s being broadcast on CBC, but Tumbler Ridge is a small community of less than 3000 people as of 2021. This would hit hard and be a major tragedy anywhere, but for such a small, close community to lose so many people is horrific. Rest in peace to the victims of this tragedy.

[katesattic]

I’ve been looking for ways to support those affected at Tumbler Ridge, because prayers don’t do anything, and came across this. If you’re looking to support families of the vicims, this is a way to do that.

there is violence against ethnic groups happening all across the world, and while it is so important to focus on the palestinian genocide because awareness and liberation for one group opens avenues for other groups, it is also inexcusable, in an era of endless information accessible at our fingertips, in machines that we hold 8+ hours a day to be silent or uneducated on oppression simply because it is not covered in mainstream media, bottom line. that said, every day is an opportunity to learn and to do better, so i have compiled this information for those wishing to widen their lens outside of what is being widely covered, and for those wishing to help. sudan:

this is a non exhaustive resource. violence, oppression and genocide towards minority groups is widespread and ongoing, and not limited to these groups or resources. remaining uneducated is a choice, and an inexcusable one to make. the same systems used to oppress and kill ethnic groups across the world can be used on you, too.

if i have misspoken or added something that should not be here or is problematic, please let me know in the notes. please also feel free to make your own additions to this post.

Absolutely horrific news and images coming out of El Fasher, Sudan. Since the Rapid Support Forces (a UAE-backed militia) took the area, they have carried out so many mass killings that the bloodstains and bodies are visible in satellite images. Estimates are currently at around 2,000 dead and more expected, and the WHO is reporting that at least 460 people were massacred in the Saudi Maternity Hospital. The RSF's mass killings and displacement in El Fasher are part of an ongoing genocide against Zaghawa, Berti, Fur, and other non-Arab groups in Sudan. Prior to this massacre, El Fasher had endured a year and a half long siege and a resulting famine.

The UAE is the primary supporter of the RSF, but the RSF is also using military vehicles and equipment from Canada and the UK. These countries sell them to the UAE, which supplies them to the RSF. It is essential that we boycott the UAE and pressure the leaders of our nations to stop selling them weapons.

If you can, please donate to organizations that are supporting survivors and providing aid in Sudan. Here are links to donate to the IRC and UNICEF, but I will also be updating soon with more links to local aid organizations. I'm trying to figure out which local aid organizations are still operating right now in El Fasher and the surrounding area—if anyone has information regarding that, please let me know
