on this international workers' day, please remember those whose labour goes largely unacknowledged, unappreciated & unpaid. here's to the carers & the cleaners & everyone else without whom the world would pretty much grind to a halt. #iwd#internationalWorkersDay#huitHeures#1erMai#work#labour#art#illustration
#art#history: if most of the people born into privilege were like nancy cunard (born #otd in 1896), maybe we wouldn't have such an itchy collective guillotine finger. this fashionable fash-basher & anti-racism campaigner (& heir to the cunard shipping line) was a writer who became a muse to man ray, james joyce & langston hughes. when she wasn't busy being effortlessly avant-garde, nancy worked as a translator for the french resistance. #nancyCunard#antiFascist#antiRacist#poetry
@eslam94 just to clarify for everyone reading: chuffed hasn't done anything. stripe has put a hold on my account whilst they take weeks to conduct what they say is a 'routine review'. @aral, please, could you advise how difficult it would be to reverify if i have to start from scratch a new fundraiser for islam?
@AsarSameer@raphaellakay@Geri@fabio@divya it's so unjust! :D my dog-ter is the same. i look after her in the day & make sure that she has healthy meals, good walks, clean feet, comfy bed. who gets all the wags & happy barks? her da!
@AsarSameer@raphaellakay@Geri@fabio@divya well, i can already tell you that you're a much better mum to sila than i could ever be (even if i had human kids in addition to my non-human family).
@AsarSameer@raphaellakay@Geri@fabio@divya just being honest. :) it's an honour to know you & sila. against all odds, you bring pure happiness & i can't wait until your lives reflect all the goodness you put out into the world. love you!
i've succumbed (after a long absence) & added a blog to my illustration website because, given the current trajectory of human existence/technology, i feel it's a good thing to have a space i own where i can deposit the thoughts that plague my brain. i've not yet fleshed out these first posts, but i'm hoping that, as i do, i'll have something of interest to say. #art#blogging#blog#writing#illustration https://curiousthing.net/musings-a-blog/
@raniagaza@celestinia@gaza_verified_campaigns@Rania aral (@aral), i've created a chuffed fundraiser for rania & she's made a different mastodon account to go with it. does she need to be verified again for this new masto account?
i'm an illustrator in #scotland. doomsday pastel aesthetic. draws good-hearted human beings. also obsessed with proun, the cologne progressives, bauhaus, surrealism, abstract expressionism & 1920s/1930s (mostly #french) graphic design. to merge left-wing #politics with sustainability (i mostly work digitally) is my bag. would love to meet people with similar interests. #antiRacist #surrealism #filmNoir #existentialism #feminism #transRights #situationism #freePalestine #vegan
