MMMMMM WOW. On My End For Days, Palestine/Gaza/etc Has Been Trending, And Now After Tumblr Put This “tag

If I had I nickel for every time I saw a lil calf with a heart of her forehead collecting flowers for her mama, I’d have two nickels!!!

Last year in May, I made a small pixel art game about a lil cow with a heart on her forehead who collects flowers for her mama 🐄💐💖 I love hearts and I really wanted to draw a cow character that day

[Image Description: A pixel art graphic of a green grass and flowers background. The title at the top reads "strawberry's flowers" with the words "on itch.io!" underneath. The title is in red text with a white outline, dark red dots inside and green stems at the top of each letter to mimic a strawberry. On the left of the title is an animation of a small cow wearing a blue dress. The cow has dark eyes, tiny horns, brown fur with pinkish-white spots, and a spot on her forehead in the shape of a heart. On the right of the title is a group of flowers. At the bottom of the image is a red play button. End ID]

A heart shaped friend 🐮 she is picking flowers for her mums flower shop!! (i will be posting more about her and her family!)

Important post

I was getting suspicions but now I'm very 100% sure that most of this website's userbase hates Palestinians and not passively. I'm now fully 100% comprehending that the vast majority of this website's userbase passes by any mention of Palestinians and seethes to their core and the only reason little of it came out was because you thought there might be social repercussions for attacking Palestinians in our time of need. All it took was an easily debunkable false accusation to get people to attack people undergoing genocide as well as a genocide survivor, and now he's been stopped from doing the work he has spent months doing. I will not allow this experience to go undocumented or forgotten. Those who partook in the harassment know what they've done and the unspeakable repurcussions of it. I expected this honestly, because that is exactly what happened to BLM and other Black rights activists since 2014; a cycle of unbelievable praise before horrendous abuse and harassment once they stopped being deified. I also saw the way people treated Moataz Azaiza after he evacuated Ghazzah, and expected the same to happen to Ahmed, who also survived unspeakable things for months in an accelerated genocide, and got harassed and attacked by the THOUSANDS on tumblr after this harassment campaign was put out. I will not forgive any one involved, especially not for what they've done to Ahmed.

Here's a collection of links to posts about the issue in the past couple of days, in chronological order I think. And under the cut will be screenshots of the initial post that I saw that brought this to my attention.

These links are absolutely non-exhaustive and there's more shit these people have said that I don't have the patience to go collect and link here.

Honorable mention for white victim-playing after leading a hate-campaign against Palestinians surviving genocide:

Verified Palestinian gofundme’s Masterlist

Rightfully so, I have gotten messages worrying if everything I post is legit (I try my best to make sure the answer is yes), but here’s a masterlist of ones that one or more people have confirmed are legit Palestinians. Most are from the blogs @el-shab-hussein, @ibtisams, @palestinecharitycommissionsassoc ,@90-ghost, @nabulsi and @palipunk

I will also be making individual posts for most of these

Making this post for the AlBalawi Family @yasminalbalawiigaza @bisanalbalawi18 who I have been dm’ing and emailing for a couple of weeks now!

They have been vetted by 90-ghost here and here.

They have started a NEW GFM with a smaller goal for immediate survival funds, but I have not seen it shared here. They also received the additional displacement orders 💔, which they shared about in their original GFM here.

PLEASE consider the conversion rate/fees! For example: I sent $5/USD, it converted to like, $3/USD. And that’s not even considering any instant transfer fees.

And they are also a part of Gaza Champions on IG. Their new GFM was set up by their Champion pen-pal who is helping them with fund transferring.

I have been working on creating a raffle art-raising on my non-game dev side of things, but I have fallen sick 😖, and can’t move as fast. But I’m still working on it! I’ll share it once it’s done.

@‘ing people for reach!

Apparently the original admin of writing prompts saw the shit storm and kicked everyone out lmao

OH MY GOD????

My wife: Are you making a list of fonts?

Me: No, worse. I'm replicating the titles of video games but it's the fonts that they're in

My wife: What does that mean

Me: This

crystalline 🌈✨ buy a wallpaper or leave a tip / twitter / instagram / shop 

someone was defending using genAI for pixel art by sayings its ‘seizing the means of production from elitists pixel artist who make 50k-100k a year’

and tbh think it gave me an aneurysm 😭 how out of touch,,, how unhinged

I made the game ‘Watermelon Match’ within 48 hours after hearing about the Global Strike for Ceasefire for Palestine on December 11th, 2023. My pixel art and game design may be lacking, but I hope that this is a small reminder to keep going for the people in Palestine and Gaza. 🍉
