for every zionist supposedly worried about queer people's rights (only when it's convenient for them , of course)

and also for anyone who likes discovering new music or who loves oud or wants to support palestinian art, or all three of the above:

Let me introduce you to Clarissa Bitar, beautiful and very queer Palestinian musician and oud player

This is their website

And here are some of my favorite songs and performances:

"His barbs? Spent arrows and wrent spears. His mane? Blood-rust. His tail? Knots of tattered banners, coffin nails, and a crooked dagger. But his smile- a thousand iron teeth, that is real. Or so they say."

- Yusuf Ayari to Salvatore L. Outhier, ("Suffered Visions", 1932)

Say hello to Oud, the alien pony from Pluto! He was created for @/dolly_lolly_playtime ‘s #aliencustom23 challenge, a departure from my usual style of pony customs! Because he’s an alien, I wanted to make sure to give him special attributes that he might need for his life on Pluto, such as slitted pupils to expand and take in the limited light Pluto gets from our sun. He’s got very bright colors to help stand out in the long Pluto nights, and glow in the dark paint and highlights. He is named for an Earth perfume ingredient that comes from wood resin, and his symbol is supposed to be an alien imagining of a perfume bottle! I have more to say but this is long already, so I’ll just share his hair to finish this off! He is rehaired from my stash of Dollyhair in Electric Banana, Green Apple Martini, Poison Ivy, Glow in the Dark yellow-green from Retrodolls, and Shimmerlocks tinsel in Opal, all on a #hqg1c dyed glitter base!

Anouar Brahem : Vague / E la nave va

This album by Anouar Brahem (Le Voyage De Sahar) is a masterful fusion of traditional Arabic music with elements of contemporary jazz, showcasing an artistic sensibility that transcends borders and genres.

One of my favorite pieces is "Vague / E la nave va," which stands out for its ability to transport the listener to a contemplative state, evoking arid landscapes and open skies. The composition is a musical dialogue between the oud, François Couturier's piano, and Jean-Louis Matinier's accordion. Brahem leads with his delicate and expressive touch on the oud, offering a melodic narrative that fluctuates between nostalgia and introspection.

The piece unfolds with a structure that seems simple on the surface but reveals melodic and harmonic depth upon deeper listening. Couturier's piano chords add a subtle atmosphere, creating a harmonic cushion that intertwines with the oud, while the accordion contributes a melancholy yet bright color, drawing nuances that enrich the musical texture.

The rhythm of the composition moves with the calm of waves, reflected in its title ("Vague," meaning "wave" in French). The fluidity of the passages and the way the instruments complement each other suggest an intimate and serene conversation between the musicians, achieving a cohesion that envelops the listener in an almost cinematic trance.
