POSTCARDS FROM MOROCCO 🇲🇦 Our first morning in Morocco was spent walking on the promenade of Tangier. It was before 9am and I've barely had my Starbucks coffee, but I've been hit on, catcalled and invited into strangers' cars countless times already. The disproportionate ratio of men and women on the streets was something I immediately noticed. As a woman I've never felt so uncomfortable and unsafe in my entire life than in Morocco. You can directly feel the gender inequality of the culture and the street harassment is horrific. I've been told to either (a) ignore it or (b) take it as a compliment (c) that I'm too sensitive. (a) you can only ignore kissy noises and "ah so nice" for so long before you want to punch someone in the face. The other day in the Marrakesh medina I was crying from rage. How can it not bother you? (b) being reduced to a sack of meat for the consumption of strange men on the street is not a compliment. It's a power play - I'm defenseless and I'm being disrespected. I'm being denied my freedom, safety, dignity and humanity. (c) Yes, I am aware that I freely chose to visit a Muslim country and I carefully curated my clothing to be respectful and modest. But, I am allowed to be angry. I am allowed to be furious by how my sisters are being treated around the world. I am allowed to be frustrated by the harassment I am receiving purely for being female. I am allowed to be fucking exhausted. You know what's the worst of all? If my boyfriend was accompanying me, I would not have experienced this. Because, they respect my boyfriend more than me. I matter.

POSTCARDS FROM MOROCCO 🇲🇦 In Fes, the cultural capital of Morocco famous for its craftsmanship, we visited the Madrasa Bou Inania that was founded in AD 1351–56. It predominantly functioned as a school (madrasa - educational institution, specifically a religious school) and as a congregational mosque. In the centre of the courtyard is a fountain for washing before prayer, left and right to the courtyard are classrooms and on the first and second floors are small sleeping chambers for students from faraway. This madrasa became one of the most important religious institutions of Fes and Morocco, and gained the status of Grand Mosque. What a privilege to have been able to visit this historical site and capture a candid of Repunsel looking out of one of the many beautifully carved windows (plaster and cedar wood) 🕌 With love, from Morocco x ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ #morocco #africa #fes #travel #madrasa #grandmosque #islam #history #architecture ##bouinania #vsco #vscocam #vscofilter #vscoedit #vscox #iphone #iphonex #iphonephotography #travelphotography #instagram #instagood #insta #instatravel #candid #mosque (at Bou Inania Madrasa) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvofyJXpt0Q/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=tjb8r309mixt

D&D commission #34: Munkustrap the tabaxi druid for @bt16!

I started a new job this week which means I’ll no longer be freelancing full time! As a result any ongoing commissions will take a bit longer to complete as I’ll have much less time to work on them, and I’ll probably wait a bit before opening up more slots. Thank you so much to everyone who supported me while I job-hunted, I’m so grateful! If you’d like to continue supporting me you can use the Ko-fi link below <3
