al things considered — when i post my masterpiece #1192

judith lowry -- "welgatim's song" (2001)

"when i began to formally exhibit, many of my works were visual interpretations of the maidu/pit river creation stories that my father told me, stories that his grandmother told him. these tales had come down to him through many generations, and now to me and to his grandchildren. with my father's encouragement and blessing, i came to consider my work to be a modern extension of the tradition of storytelling" ... judith lowry

"in 'welgatim's song', lowry portrays the native california story of inundation. the protagonist is welgatim, wife of the mythical coyote weh-pom. weh-pom has fallen in love with the beautiful deer suh-mim and so plots to murder his wife. each morning, welgatim reappears unharmed and makes breakfast for her husband. she warns him of terrible consequences, but weh-pom will not be dissuaded from his plots. the next morning he awakens to an empty home and when he sets out to hunt finds all the light and heat extinguished. using song and prayer, welgatim has summoned all the clouds and rain to the earth as punishment" ... crocker art museum

"oral traditions are being threatened by modern pressures, distractions, and the passage of time. before these allegories are lost in the fog of a distant past, i work to preserve these stories by making them visible. it’s a calling and a responsibility because i also recognize that the old maidu stories are allegories. they paint a picture of the moral values of my ancestors, who were peaceful, industrious, reverent people who walked gently upon the earth. now more than ever, their ways should not be forgotten" ... judith lowry

"every story tells a picture, don't it?" ... al janik

Hi everyone, this is important so please take the time to read and support !

hi guys another note again! Please find the time to support these go-fund me links. As much as possible please be able to donate any amount you can to support them, 5 pounds in my currency is 377 pesos, not enough for a decent amount of basic needs to properly support a family. But with a joint effort, with any amount to give, you can be able to help them. if you are unable to do so, please share with others and reblog with tags to get the attention of others!

Noha Ayyad: She is a mother of a martyred child and a wife of a martyr. She lost her husband and only child during the war in 2014, her son only being 2 and a half years old at his time of passing. She has 17 members in her family needing support from you. Her mother needs urgent treatment in order to help treat her joint and back cartilage pain, her brother is paralyzed in his right leg, suffering with severe leg pain. Noha and her family need donations to fund for treatments as well as support each other. Currently, their donations have almost stopped for two days, so please as much as you can support and donate to them. Currently, donations have raised at 70,051 us dollars, out of their 85k goal, they are so close to their donation goal so please support them!

"Help me save my family Hello, I am Noha Ayyad, a Palestinian from Gaza, specifically from Shujaiya. My family was forcibly displaced from their homes to the southern Gaza Strip, and they now live in tents in the central area, we are live in a small tent suffering from a lack of water and food, including children who were deprived of their basic rights to education and life like the rest of the children in the world. The Israeli Defense Forces completely bombed our house, and we lost our business. My brothers worked in the clothing trade and had a clothing distribution shop. It was destroyed along with the house. They lost their work and all their money, and they no longer had a place to return to. My mother suffers from arthritis and back pain, and my brother suffers from paralysis in his right leg and needs regular treatment. He also suffers from a lack of necessary medicines in Gaza, as you know. I lost my only child and my husband in the 2014 war Now I am afraid of losing the rest of my family and I have nothing to do but ask them to evacuate from Gaza to a safe place to save their lives. Travel is through the Rafah crossing. I asked for $5,000 per person over 16 and $2,500 for children under 16, + GoFundMe fees( %2.99 + 0.05 cents for every transaction) Finally, $5,000 for travel expenses. I hope for help from you and from everyone who has humanity and hears and sees what is happening in Gaza in terms of genocide and war. Note that I was not accustomed to asking anyone for help before, but the curse of war, my longing and fear for my family, and I hope to meet them well before I find myself losing one of them again, as happened before in 2014. War. Whether this is due to bombing, it will be due to hunger and disease

Sincerely, Noha Ayyad"

Ibrahim Al-Habil: Ibrahim currently suffers from cartilage disease, with his wife also suffering from illnesses who are in need of treatment. The family has young children who need to be provided with basic needs too, one of their daughters had been born during the war. Ibrahim asks for donations as current basic needs even milk and diapers are expensive, around the price range of 100 pounds, so please help them if you can. Currently their donations are at 240 (pounds), not enough for their set goal of 20k (pounds).

"I'm Ibrahim Al-Habil from Gaza I live with my family consisting of my wife and my young daughters. The occupation destroyed our house and forced us to move to the southern Gaza Strip. We went to Rafah and then to Deir al-Balah. I live in a street with my young children. We live in the most difficult conditions of our lives. I suffer from cartilage disease and my wife has a crisis and many diseases. I have a daughter who was born in the war. I ask you to help and get treatment for my wife and children so that we can leave Gaza to go to a safe place to achieve our dreams and live a stable life and study and learn. I ask you to help."

[rearranging-deck-chairs]

do you think that what the doctor usually feels for companions, rather than romantic or sexual attraction, might just be idolisation?

"The closing of the Rafah border by the occupation means no food, no water, no medical aid, and no fuel will enter south Gaza. Steve Sosebee, the founder of Palestine Children's Relief Fund, says that “Several organizations - Med Global, IMANA, and HEAL Palestine - tried to evacuate her for treatment in the USA but due to the lack of supplies and open border, she died. Like so many other children.” from Wear The Peace, 12/May/2024:

Had a mostly chill tropicals big delivery day because I just chucked it all in the new house and then had some help tearing paper off but didn't have to deal with the hellish impossibility of fitting it in the main houses and pricing it all on a busy, sunny Saturday. Just will be slowly restocking from here once I organize through spring.

Alas, this is only tropicals round two. Two to three more shipments to go, and next week is also a big planting and veggie seeding week.
