Fantasy Is A Metaphor For The Human Condition, a comic about magic, and art, and speculative fiction, and being sick, and how they all intersect. Originally laid out/pencilled November-December 2017, when I was in a very difficult place emotionally as I was relearning how to draw post-brain injury.

Hanukkah lamp made of tin intended for sardine cans, maker: Meir Ben Ammi, Mazagan, Morocco, ca. 1950

This unique Hanukkah lamp is made of strips of printed tin that were originally intended for sardine cans. Alms boxes were regularly made of the same material. In Morocco, canning sardines was a predominantly Jewish industry, especially along the western coast. The lamp was created by Meir Ben Ammi, who was born in Mazagan, Morocco, in 1910, where he worked with his father as a tinsmith. In 1955 he immigrated to Israel and settled in Beit She’an. He would often add the initials of a bride and groom on a lamp and present it to them as a wedding gift, but few of these gifts were actually retained after Hanukkah.

Berber in the Kasbah, Morocco

Berbers or Amazighs are an ethnic group indigenous to North Africa, primarily inhabiting Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Mauritania, northern Mali, northern Niger and a part of western Egypt.

In Morocco and in Iberia, the Arabic word form of kasbah frequently refers to multiple buildings in a keep, a citadel, or several structures behind a defensive wall.

A kasbah was a place for the local leader to live and a defense when a city was under attack. A kasbah has high walls, usually without windows. Sometimes, they were built on hilltops so that they could be more easily defended. Some were placed near the entrance to harbors. Having a kasbah built was a sign of wealth of some families in the city

I love watching cute parent/baby videos, it gives me hope that raising a child can be fun too.

But when I see videos of dads taking care of their kids, reading to them, paying attention to them, it just makes me SO angry. Angry because that's the first time I witnessed it. Angry because my dad stole those experiences from me. But he's trying to make it up at least.

going back and including metropolitan areas for london and new york

so while the main/central area of london is larger than new york’s or chicago’s, the greater metropolitan area is smaller.

Full offense but people are completely alright with spending money to go to Puerto Rico and the islands for vacation/leisure and overpaying for resorts that do nothing really for the country as a whole but are hesitant to give aid in midst of a devastating natural disaster. And yall wonder why island natives hate tourism.
