Rapper Macklemore is releasing a track called “Hind’s Hall”, speaking out on the genocide of Palestinians, and the United States complacency in this ongoing violence. Macklemore has stated that once the track drops on streaming, all proceeds from streams will be going directly to UNRWA— the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees in the Near East.

The new tracks namesake Hind’s Hall echoes the honours that Columbia University encampment protestors bestowed the Morningside Heights campus’ Hamilton Hall— in memory of Hind Rajab, the 6 year old Palestinian girl in Gaza who was shot by Israeli soldiers after being trapped inside a vehicle, with her dead family. She had begged to be rescued as tanks closed in on her.

Macklemore using his platform to vehemently speak out against genocide, the Israeli occupation and United States-led violence is what every single artist should be doing right now. The power of art should not be underestimated. Macklemore started out in the Hip-Hop scene within communist circles, namely working alongside Blue Scholars, and has never neglected his Leftism through out his career: the artist has spoken on issues regarding mental health, addiction, racial profiling and police violence, Capitalism, women’s rights, LGBTQ+ rights and toxicity of American culture.

i have made embarrassingly little progress on listening to COUNTER/Weight since the last piece of fan art I drew like six months ago, but I’m working on it. In the meantime, here’s Aria!

thinking about her

as a huge lover of birds, 90% of the concern against wind turbines being used for energy is literally just pro fossil fuel propaganda. birds ARE at a risk however there is a lot of strategies even as simple as painting one of the blades that reduces a lot of accidental deaths. additionally renewable energy sources will do more in favor of the environment that would positively impact birds (and all of us). one study found over one million bird deaths from wind turbines. while that is a shockingly high number and we should work to drastically shrink it, at least 1.3 billion birds die to outdoor cats on a yearly basis. it was never about caring about birds

there was a study done in 2015 that shows an even greater possible yearly divide than the 2012 one

This is why we need to keep cats indoors and switch to linux.

TLC's Worst Dating Show is getting a second season, so MILD Manor'd too must resume.

The worst reality show on television has decided to rear its ugly head again, which means I must resume my sacred duty to watch the show and recap it with my mother. Join us for season 2 of the podcast, which kicks off on Wednesday, May 8th with a double episode episode covering the return of the Milves--and possibly Dilves? We're innovating this season.

Now with real show art, drawn by Me with Real Crayons.

April 19, 2024 - Eared Quetzal (Euptilotis neoxenus) Found in highland forests in northwestern Mexico, these trogons are occasionally seen in southeastern Arizona in the United States. Though the details of their diet are not known they probably eat mostly insects and fruits, foraging alone or in pairs during the breeding season and forming flocks at other times of year. Nesting in tree cavities, including those made by woodpeckers, both parents incubate the eggs and feed the chicks.

Okay, first of all: it is not at all surprising that tumblr is into this beef. at least half of being in fandom is beefing constantly, and the levels of haterdom that Kendrick Lamar has achieved are...... truly impressive and a little bit scary.

this is gonna be messy and not comprehensive but i've been thinking about this for like a week and there's just so much....... context. there's layers to this shit.

so let's start at the beginning.

sometimes a woman hurts every man she meets because her true soulmate is a 7 ft tall giant snake alien with 8 heads

April 18, 2024 - Neblina Metaltail (Metallura odomae) Found in a small range in southern Ecuador and northern Peru, these hummingbirds live in shrubby and grassy habitats near tree line. They mostly eat nectar, along with some small arthropods, often perching in shrubs and capturing prey in short flights. Only one of their nests has been found, a cup built with mosses, lichen, and possibly spiderwebs in a cavity in a rock ledge. Females probably incubate the eggs and care for the chicks as in other hummingbird species.

The culprits (i would die for them)

Yep, I’m on the side of these superb piggies. This is play stupid games, win stupid prizes territory.

Native wild animals engaging in natural animal behaviors?!?! I'm shocked!
