five hundred and thirty people laid off from riot. We aren't even one month into 2024.

there is no security in the work within game development. My dad would tell me 'just work hard, be essential and earn your place' but that isn't how it is anymore. You could be the best, most amazing artist, as so many of my friends who were laid off were, and it doesn't matter. They will get rid of you just as easily. I don't even know what to feel anymore, but as someone who had been laid off in the past, I cannot convey how devastating it is to have your life uprooted just like that.

#love working in the creative industry ✌️ god we are soooo fucked #we need to kill executives and genAI lobbyists

Sometimes I just want to share one thing but I'm constantly thinking of a hundred others they're all going at once and it keeps going because Israel's monstrosity is literally endless.

Do I want to tell you about the 30 decomposed bodies discovered inside of dumpsters and under rubble with their hands tied behind them in northern Gaza? (Story still developing)

Do I want to show you the video of the hospital room where 3 Palestinians were killed by Israel undercover agents at point blank where you literally see a bullet hole in the pillow? (Video report)

Do I remind you that there are no updates on Hind, the 5 year old who has been trapped in a car surrounded by her family's corpses? (Story)

Or do I bring attention to the 100 stolen bodies that were returned to Gaza by Israel yesterday, most of whom are unrecognisable and many are missing body parts? (Full update)

Or do I tell you about the boy waving a white flag who was shot multiple times as he tried to flee, followed by his brother who was shot in the heart as he tried to rescue him? Or the fact that the entire family watched as their two sons got executed in front of their eyes? (Full story)

Where do we even begin? Where does it end?

Artists Against Apartheid has a beautiful collection of free-to-use posters related to Palestine. These are some of my favorites. I've also included their mission statement at the end

Link to their website:

#palestine #art

[avizou]

[ID: the UNRWA logo and a screenshot of a UNRWA statement with the title, "UNRWA's lifesaving aid may end due to funding suspension". the date is 27 January 2024. the subheading reads, "over 2 million people in Gaza depend on UNRWA for survival as war and displacement continue". the statement is from Philippe Lazzarini, UNRWA Commissioner General. /end ID]

Today, Jan 27, the United States, UK, Canada, Australia, Germany, Finland, Italy, the Netherlands, and Switzerland have suspended all funding to UNRWA because Israeli authorities have accused UNRWA workers of allegedly being involved with the Oct 7 attacks on Israel. [UNRWA statement] [Al Jazeera] [Reuters]

From their own website, UNRWA says that they rely on donations--

"UNRWA is the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East… UNRWA helps Palestine Refugees achieve their full potential in human development through quality services it provides in education, health care, relief and social services, protection, camp infrastructure and improvement, microfinance, and emergency assistance. UNRWA is funded almost entirely by voluntary contributions."

If you are able, please consider donating to UNRWA. If you live in the USA or Spain, your donation can be claimed for your taxes.

{{LINK TO DONATE}}

You can make a one-time donation or set up a monthly donation. There is also an option for Zakat.

I donated in memory of my Teta (grandmother), who was born in Jerusalem before Israel even existed and was a UNRWA nurse.
