After a review of the rulebook, It's only against NHL rules to kiss your opponents during the game (rules 47 & 48 for sure, potentially 51, 54 56), teammates are fair game.

(unless if the refs rule their kissing to be too distracting or unsportsmanlike)

1634 sun card tapestry (9/7/23-11/9/23)

here she is!! this is my individual attempt to manifest the toronto maple leafs the success and happiness they deserve this year. last year, mitch marner tying the franchise's longest point streak on november 30th was maybe the most fun i had watching a hockey game (except for the playoff series win, of course), but i wanted to memorialize my favorite picture of my favorite boys celebrating that day (thank you kevin sousa for this beauty). instead of doing that by itself, i also wanted to include the rider waite sun card somehow, as it represents positive outcomes for current struggles and general success, abundance, happiness, etc. shoutout to every wonderful person here that helped encourage me and commented on my stuff and just <3

for my fellow crocheters/anyone curious/future self, i've included some of my process below.... took months but was SO worth it. (still not technically done bc i need to block/iron and want to add a backing and a way to hang it, but one step at a time... HAD TO SHARE asap)

step one was playing around in photoshop/procreate and combining the images i wanted to use... there's what i came up with.

the most helpful tool throughout the whole process was a website called stitchfiddle which lets you convert images to pixels for graphgans/whatever you want to make in fiber art honestly. you can change the amount of colors and pixels.. size up and down until you get a look you like. it will also convert your specific chart into colors available in certain brands of yarn which was REALLY helpful to me too. my chart ended up shifting color because of what was available in the yarn brands near me, but i loved the changes so... my chart looked like this.

as for specifics, i used a 4mm hook and did just basic single crochets per square on the chart... the final product ended up being about 55 inches by 36.5 inches. this was my first real attempt at something super intricate, and i kind of just jumped in despite only learning crochet a few months ago, but!!!! i am super happy and proud and hope all the good vibes are felt by the leafies. really just wanna get everyone else into crochet too... feels so rewarding to make something with your hands like this <3 ANYWAY THANK YOU FOR CARING AND SUPPORTING IF YOU HAVE. LOVE YOU ❣️

Resources for Gaza/Palestine

On the last day of the strike, and in the days/weeks following the end of the strike, please give your time to these resources and share them with others.

Donation Links:

The PCRF has been able to bring tangible resources to those in Gaza.

World Food Program has also provided food inside the Gaza Strip, and Hind has reported on this a few times.

This PayPal belongs to someone on the ground in Gaza who has been able to distribute aid directly to people in Gaza. You can find more information and proof of these purchases at @helpgazachildren.

UNRWA recently had their funding cut off by the US. They bring aid across Falasteen but you can choose to donate specifically to Gaza on the page I linked.

Gazaesims is a direct way you can donate esims to Gaza to help those inside the Strip stay connected to the rest of the world. If you have any questions about donating esims you can ask me directly!

Anera provides relief items to those in Gaza.

Islamic Relief does work globally. You can choose to donate specifically to their Palestine Emergency Aid program (name might be different depending on if you're on the US site or the global site).

Educational Resources/People to Follow:

DecolonizePalestine is my go-to when giving resources to people who are new to hearing about what's happening in Falasteen. It's a comprehensive, easily navigated archive of the history of Falasteen and the occupation, common myths surrounding the occupation, and resources for learning.

The Palestine Academy has courses on the history of Falasteen, resources on actions to take/education, and resources for Gaza.

IMEU provides news and education about all of Falasteen including Gaza, and provides fact sheets, photo essays, and personal testimonies from Palestinians. You can find their Instagram here.

Hidden Palestine tells the history of Falasteen through photos. They also provide updates about Gaza and other parts of Falasteen on their Instagram.

Subhi is a Palestinian-American who does a lot of work and makes educational videos about Falasteen and Gaza. He also provides many resources and shares news about Gaza/Falasteen in general.

Mohammed El-Kurd is a Palestinian writer who became well-known after defending his family from being evicted from their home for settler theft in Sheikh Jarrah, Jerusalem. He shares news, provides educational resources, and shares his own videos/writing on the topic of Gaza and Falasteen in general.

Salma Shawa (anat.international) is a Palestinian from Gaza who is not currently in Gaza. She shares videos, news, and resources about Gaza.

Noura Erakat is a Palestinian-American lawyer and activist who shares education, news, resources about Gaza and Falasteen.

News/Coverage/Updates:

Bisan is a young journalist on the ground in the south of Gaza

Hind is a journalist and reporter who has mostly been reporting from the middle areas of the Gaza Strip.

Bayan is a journalist and photographer on the ground in Gaza. She gives updates on what's happening around Gaza City.

Motaz is a journalist and photographer who was on the ground in Gaza until a few days ago. He continues to share news and stories from Gaza.

Princekouta is a Canadian citizen who has been unable to escape from the North of Gaza since the beginning of the genocide. He shares updates on what's happening in the North, which has essentially been cut off from the rest of the Gaza Strip. You can donate to his GFM here.

Miriam Barghouti is a journalist and writer in the West Bank. She shares news/updates about the West Bank and Gaza.

Eye.on.palestine shares videos of people on the ground in Gaza, in the West Bank, and in the '48 territories.

Translating_gaza provides English translations of videos from those on the ground in Gaza/new reports from other sources.

Middle East Eye brings news from Gaza and Falasteen. Here is their instagram.

Electronic Intifada has news about Falasteen along with updates about what's happening in Gaza.

Organizations for Palestine:

Palestinian Youth Movement (resources, actions, organizing, protests)

Adalah Justice Project (actions, organizing, protests)

American Muslims for Palestine (education, organizing, advocacy)

USCPR (resources, actions, updated protest lists)

Actions You Can Take:

BDS provides a list of companies to boycott/pressure to divest from Israel.

Global Protest List

US: Call your representatives to demand a ceasefire now.

Email template for Congress.

USCPR action toolkit.

Canada: Call your MPs.

UK: Write to your MPs.

I feel like I shouldn't have to say this, but in case it wasn't clear: continue to spread awareness about what is happening and Gaza and about Falasteen as often and as loudly as you can. When you see news coming out of Gaza, allow yourself to be moved to action. Share news and resources with others, pressure your governments to call for a ceasefire, make sure your money is not going to a corporation that supports Israeli apartheid, and above all else, do not lose hope. The horrors we are seeing now are not normal, nor will they ever be; use the resources and tools you have at your disposal to take whatever action you can to stop the genocide. And when we do get a ceasefire, we must keep on pushing and doing the work until we achieve a totally liberated Falasteen.

From the river to the sea 🇵🇸

*note: falasteeni friends please feel free to add on any donation links or resources you know of that i may have missed!
