ARTISTS FOR PALESTINE 🇵🇸 - On the 6th and 9th of March, I'll be doing art requests on stream with other notable artists to raise money for Operation Olive Branch and the PCRF.

I'm incredibly lucky to be counting quite a few big names in the roster, including known Jesus and Odysseus enthusiast @wolfythewitch, the extraordinary fanartist @denimcatfish, and the incredibly talented @troubledminnesotan, as well as Lilypichu from OfflineTV.

You'll be able to watch the streams on the day of the event either on my twitch channel here, or via the links provided by the artists below.

Yor Week 2024 day 7: mend

[spaghettioverdose]

Honestly it's pretty fucked up how a story about a guy being arrested for human trafficking was turned into a meme. Sure the guy primarily known as some annoying, mysoginistic dickhead on the internet, who got owned on twitter by a 19 year old and accidentally tipped off the police about his location in the process, and that is pretty funny, but people at this point are joking about human trafficking as if it's nothing.

You realise there were actual real women he was holding captive and sexually exploiting right? This isn't just some funny twitter drama.

watching scars stream, and i didn't realise until now that hes not there irl, but through an incredibly cool robot. thats such an incredible way to make sure scar gets to be part of the irl events, as well as such a fun thing in general?!?

like in no other world could we have zed casually pick scar up and fly him around.

things like this just. shows how much thought went into this event, how much planning and organising and time went into making this charity stream the best it can be

ok I'm not an expert but I'm not seeing much specific info going around here, and there's a lotta Palestine solidarity protests in the UK this weekend, so here is some (including UK-specific) protest info and resources (mostly pulled whole-cloth from Twitter)

policing is heavy at Palestine protests generally

Hamas is a proscribed org under UK law. that means "inviting support" for them or "wearing clothing or displaying articles" that implies you are a supporter is a criminal offence (if you're interested, here's the full list of criminal offences from gov.uk). Palestinian flags etc are ok*, but do not have something that could be mistaken for Hamas imagery. don't go out there looking for convictions pls.

*in spite of what Suella Braverman has implied, the London Muslim Community Forum has just confirmed that the Palestinian flag is not a proscribed flag and is not banned (apologies for quoting the "we advise the met police" group but I thought it was important to have that info explicitly)

don't talk to cops. that includes the police liasion officers in blue bibs.

particularly if you're concerned about your face ending up on social media etc, but also just good practice in general (both in terms of COVID and protest safety)—mask up. cover up tattoos etc.

have bustcards or contact details for protest legal support on you. Green and Black Cross can be contacted on 07946 541 511. write the number on your arm etc.

if you witness an arrest: check if there's a legal observer nearby and if so call them over; if not: if the arrestee doesn't have a bustcard, give them one, find out where they're being taken, and contact eg GBC or a protest support line

if you have the time and can help out, there will likely be arrestee support required after—GBC tend to post callouts on Twitter for this

other links

for particularly children and young people and their families being referred to PREVENT for pro-Palestine statements, contact PREVENTWatch and maybe also Palestine in School (newer initiative I think, I don't have an excessive amount of detail on them just FYI)

Liberty, Migrants Organise and Black Protest Legal Support have bustcards in different languages, including Arabic and Somali (also Liberty's website has lotsa useful info, including advice for disabled protesters, protesting and immigration status, and what to do if you're kettled)

GBC's thread on what to do if you see an arrest is useful, as are all their resources generally

if I've missed anything or made a mistake, lmk—as I said, I am very much not an expert. if you know people who are protesting, pass them the legal support line numbers; if you're attending, stay safe and be vigilant; and ofc carry water.

@lgbtqcreators event 16 — raise your flag → creator bingo — inspired by another creator4K CELEBRATION — @henwilsons asked; nina zenik + pink?

Nina just liked to flirt with everything. He’d once seen her make eyes at a pair of shoes she fancied in a shop window.

Got to sell some art at a cool folk horror event organised by @gullbones with my brother @n0sebleeds (go check him out) last night! Never sold my art in person before so it was quite the experience but it def told me that I would absolutely be okay with doing conventions now! So that's fun! Anyway just wanted to document it, hello first pic of me on this blog.

The Whitehead print I made for the showing of A Field In England will be being added to my etsy soon!

[bellwethers]

Here’s a piece I did for @kuruk-weekend, please check out the blog for details about this event

[airborneice]

soo this was supposed to be for @hilda-appreciation-week, i finished it the week after the event, saved it in my drafts and straight up forgot 🥲

it was for Day 6 - Favourite Location - kind of a cheat but I just chose Hilda's room and zoomed in on the bit around Alfur's house bc I love looking at all the little trinkets she has and how it changes between seasons. like having the drawings of her friends and the new house in season 2 when she's more settled in Trolberg and new drawings of creatures for every adventure she's been on :) there's so many little details!!! also it was another excuse to draw my beloved peppercorn yayy

Question for all european Fallen London players:

I was talking with @that-giorgione today and we thought it would be nice to organise a meeting somewhere in 2025.

This is just to know if anyone would be interested in saying hello in person and hanging out. Nothing big, we can meet and chat at lunch/dinner/at a bar/etc ✌️

If anyone is interested, I will post more polls to understand where and when exactly we could do this.

[rebornofstars]

hello!! just wondering whether anyone would be interested in a September-based art & writing event focussed on celebrating the female characters in the LU fandom?

i've been thinking about trying to organise something like this for a few months now, but i'm finally speaking up, because this morning i had an idea...

we could call it:

✨Sepfember✨

anyway, if you'd be interested in a september event, let me know!

[kezokinos]

A little later than I anticipated but here's my part for the @dghdabigbang event!!!! I worked together with the mega talented @agent-p-writes who has been so patient with me (thank u so so much!!!) and it's been such a joy to read each new chapter, cannot wait to see how the rest of the story goes!!

You should totally check out the wonderful fic right here:

I don't wanna spoil anything but a little hint hint: sweat, concerts and a messy wild Mexican Funeral Todd are something you can look forward to from this teaser but there's SO MUCH more exciting stuff aaaaa 💛
