(+IMPORTANT) (Nov,2023)-A Bit Fruity Podcast (created by Matt Bernstein (gay American Jewish man) Ep with Moe Dabbagh, a gay Palestinian American with family currently in Gaza. ‘Queers for Palestine & The Power of Pinkwashing’. Palestine has been occupied for more than 76 years now, since 1948 year. This ep gives you a LOT of information, especially if you are one of the people who can’t see right through the propaganda; or the ones who go ‘well if you’re gay then go to Gaza and see how that goes for you’. Queer Liberation is a liberation of Palestinian people. We can’t have one without the other. Free Palestine. Free all the people that are not yet free. This is where we start!!

Credit: Anything That Moves / The poem continues, but the point is clear from the start: Bisexual people aren't believed for who they are. They're belittled and told to "choose a side," that they're bisexual for attention. It's difficult to think that this poem is over 30 years old. The poem "truly could've been written yesterday... or 50 years ago," said Marshall. "How long do we have to keep screaming the same things to the world over and over until people stop pretending we're speaking another galaxy's language?" --- The solace of Anything That Moves, however, is that even though progress has been slow, fellow bisexual people can relate to the shared experience detailed in its pages.:https://www.tumblr.com/yourartmatters-itswhatgotmehere/770848263124500480?source=share

[kannabelestranged]

Committing (for the minute at least) to the idea of quilting a 15th century dado panel I came across on @nobrashfestivity 's blog.

So far I have begun drafting the pattern on Rhino and so far I have learnt to park my hubris at the door and that no, I do not know better than an artisan from the 15th century. When I gleefully called out to @nightsand142 that I thought I could fix what I saw as an awkward repeat in the pattern what I didn't know was that to get to that point I had completely broken the overarching rhythm of the repetition. Something that I only realised after many more hours fiddling and dissatisfaction.

The pattern when I thought I was fixing it . . .

A main issue being that I couldn't find a way to make a section of the pattern sit nicely on a rectangle.

And then, if I follow the reference properly . . . . .

It is BEAUTIFUL. The way that the repeats come together and create rhythms and shapes and lines of interest that I couldn't see even in the source image . . . GORGEOUS. Truly the greatest path to understanding and respecting a piece of art is imitation. There is so much movement to it.

I am in love. Which is good, because the next job is to figure out how small I think I can make the pieces without driving myself completely insane.
