the Irish language has no word for ‘have’.

We do, however, have these.

I’d been kicking this idea around for a while and trying to think about how to articulate it. Pretty happy with how it eventually turned out! 

Sometimes I think about my reasons for getting tattoos (just for myself, not because they need justification). Adding onto this painting metaphore, I think getting ink is a way for me to put down portable roots. I move a lot and will be doing it again soon, and until I can actually settle down and paint some walls I’ll take visual control of something more accessible, namely myself.

The man in this image is Veerender Jubbal, an awesome Sikh Canadian Let’s Play Gamer, critic, and outspoken feminist. People photoshopped the image on the right (of him holding an ipad) to look like the image on the left (wearing a suicide vest and holding a quran). The photoshopped image has been picked up by multiple news agencies and distributed as a “selfie of one of the Paris attackers still at large”. It is a selfie of an innocent man who has never been to Paris and was targeted, by all accounts, because he had the *audacity* to be a person of color vocally speaking up against Gamergate.

If you see the image on the left circulating, please speak up for Veerender!

Pakistani graphic design students refuse to let you forget that over 140 children we brutally murdered and that this country has become too used to violence, too desensitized to death, that we move on too easily.

The students of Indus Valley School (IVS) of Arts and Architecture have had enough. They will not let you forget. “Karachi is such a violent city,” says graphic designer Umaima Mughal. “We have permanently become indifferent to the violence around us.” Mughal along with over 20 students in her year at IVS do not want Pakistan to forget those that have shed blood. In a campaign designed to evoke painful memories and emotion, these students visually communicate the horrors of the Army Public School tragedy that shook the country on December 16 last year. As people appeared to move on with their lives three months after the brutal massacre of schoolchildren, these graphic design students felt compelled to issue a reminder.
