I worked on this little guy prior to the emergence of the antifascist frog brigade in Portland. So to all my antifascist frog siblings out there, this one is also for you!

Israel bombed south Lebanon overnight This is what Israel means by ceasefire

"NO PASARÁN!" - A wonderful anti-fascist frog commissioned for @ayoub.bsky.social

I am still grieving & so are all my friends and family. But none of us leave room for despair. All my loved ones are "condemned to be optimists". The alternative would be to give up on ourselves and the living. The future will be different. Occupation, genocide and fascism cannot last.

Can I also say I am so angry today. It's the lives lost, the cities wiped out, the time taken from us. We have been consumed with this level of unspeakable violence for 2 years. To think of all the potential futures taken away... it's unfathomable

Gardening day!

Random, but I’m still looking for stable employment (research/analysis/writing/teaching) and I’m happy to send along my CV in English/French. Job has to be in the UK, Canada or online.

I’m not crying you’re crying

Took a break from history to talk about the history unfolding around us

My latest, on how concepts like the populist hype and reactionary centrism can help us understand how our media and political system normalises dangerous far right talking points and policies shado-mag.com/articles/opi...

We already have 1000+ reasons to hate """artist""" James C Mulligan (see below), but it was extra enraging to see him stealing and taking credit for the work of actual Bambi artist and all-around Disney legend Tyrus Wong, so here's a mini Ted Talk 🧵

“I sure hope everyone’s okay!” - this comic was made with the wonderful @ayoub.bsky.social

I have recently seen an influx of accounts from Gaza. I have been told that many of them are real and are being verified by Molly Shah. Some of them are being reported as spam. Please do not do that and consider supporting them. Molly has some more resources on the topic.

Same btw ✨🏳️‍⚧️

Where do people usually post comics ?

Part 1 of موسم الزيتون | The Season of the Olives.

Hey everyone, we at From The Periphery - @leilashami.bsky.social and I - teamed up with subMedia to produce a short doc on the fall of Bashar Al-Assad. Pls share Youtube link: youtu.be/dRcvomoNwvw?... IG: www.instagram.com/reel/DEP_qEd... Mastodon: kolektiva.social/@subMedia/11... #Syria

Elia does amazing work. Check him out!

Found an amazing documentary on Sabri Moudallal. He was an amazing منشد and singer of قدود حلبية (i.e. singer of traditional folk and sacred music from Aleppo). youtu.be/nPxoP3jgJSI?...

“there is concern about ethnic, religious, & sectarian tensions...However, I must express some skepticism about the predominant Western focus on their fate. These voices were absent when the Arab Sunni majority was being massacred, persecuted, and tortured.” YHS www.resetdoc.org/story/yassin...

A short comic about Harry the Heron. للرفيق للازم ياخد نفس. #comic

Farid (فريد) is happy for the Syrian people & is overjoyed to see the prisoners freed. Farid celebrates the end of the Assads reign of terror & helps center Syrian voices during this historic moment instead of spewing dumb assadist opinons online. Be like Farid. #art #syria #comic

During his imprisonment, Michel Kilo recalls seeing a child who was born in prison and did not know what a bird or a tree or the sun were… I hope that all these children are now free to see and know them…❤️❤️❤️ youtu.be/mIroMgZpH4M?...

Hello my new habibiz. A kind reminder that I am queer and will block homophobes and transphobes. I also have no patience for genocide deniers, authoritarian simps, anti-arabs and islamophobes. Otherwise buckle up beautiful, its gona get gay ✨🌈

Aleppo, Syria 2009

(Wadi) وديع over here is a fabulous Walrus who likes croquettes and has an excellent skincare routine. When وديع is not busy talking about how much he loathes leftists who like Assad & Putin, he likes to listen to Abdel Halim Hafez with his cat friend Froufrou.

A short history of the ancient Lebanese villages destroyed by Israel www.middleeasteye.net/news/short-h...

فتكات (Fatakat) is a sassy crow who takes shit from nobody and spends her morning drinking tea with the girls. Her design is based on سهير البابلي (Soher El Bably) in the play ريا وسكينة (Raya w Skina). It was a good excuse to work on some calligraphy. #art #bird

While waiting, here is the frog حليم (Halim) king of the discotheque. He has unbeatable dance moves.

Where were you? Go home yalla. Which house? Oh the house is gone? Some Lebanese humour for y’all

People are going to be staying wide awake until 4AM (the supposed ceasefire time).

موسم الزيتون

Has to be said over & over: Yelling "Free Palestine!" doesn't exonerate anyone for justifying/downplaying bloodshed elsewhere. Wearing a keffiyeh shouldn't grant a Bashar al-Assad atrocity denier a clean slate. Uphold principles, conduct background checks. Reject selective human rights activism.

Hello folks, I am a queer arab artist trying to resist giving in to despair. When I'm not drawing extremely depressing things I draw extremely flamboyant animals (among other things). عفيفة (Afifah) over here does not stand anyone's racist none sense.

حتى بالحلم عم تقصفوا؟ فشرتوا
