So I’ve been thinking about this recently because with April coming to an end and July coming up after May and June, it made me wonder about something. Does anyone want to do a Christmas in July Drawing Challenge? Anyone can participate (as long the content does not cross lines like breaking laws). Anyone who celebrates Christmas or any other Holiday taking place at that time (Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, etc.), loves Christmas Specials and Movies, and anything winter related. All this listed above, but we all draw them in a summer setting. What are the elves doing over the summer preparing before Christmas comes? Where is Santa's Summar Vacation at? Or maybe you just want to draw a snowman on the beach. It doesn't have to be a thirty-day challenge event. Just do what makes you comfortable kind of event. What does everyone think?
everyone. on christmas day, december 25th, we all search up “halloween” to make it a trending search. it would be the FUNNIEST thing ever to see halloween be a trending search on christmas day. tell all your friends, repost this, do everything you can to make sure we can do this. REBLOG AS MUCH AS YOU CAN.
One of the most personal, saddest things about living in America is the summertime.
There is 0 reason for American adults not to have a summer break. I can only say this with a full throat so loud, but other countries have policies and laws that give adults summertime.
It is not a joke to say France is kind of shutdown for August. There are over a dozen countries that have enough mandatory, legally required leave available to take an entire month off, or more. PLUS mandatory PAID holidays.
It's Brazil and Russia (ooh scary BRIC countries outgrowing the US and coming for us). India AND China give up to 2 weeks mandatory vacation leave, plus sick leave on top.
It's Afghanistan (20 days). It's Angola (22). It's Argentina(25) and Armenia (25) and Australia (20). It's Cambodia (technically unlimited; you can eventually get 15 or 17 days per month vacation).
That us on top of mandatory PAID public holidays. Cambodia can somehow manage 27 mandatory paid holidays plus upwards of 18 vacation days per year and going up from there, and we in the US can't even manage mandatory paid holidays.
We don't even get paid on Christmas and Memorial Day. And even trying to convince some people, let alone politicians, that everyone should get paid on Christmas is unfair to compare to pulling teeth.
Please. Please. I want to have a better life. I want you to have a better life.
I want you to not miss Summer Break. Because France and Cambodia don't.
The fact that we, Arabic-speaking average people(aka non-journalists), have to keep up with translating Palestinian posts from Arabic to English to avoid having Western Media/Pro-Zionists mistranslate on purpose, says enough about how we all lost trust in the media. From the "there's a list" guy who was standing in front of a calendar and condemning the days of the week, to the BBC's mistranslation of a freed Palestinian hostage's interview. I will try my best to keep translating whatever I can find, and I encourage my fellow bilingual/multilingual Arabs to do the same. It's already sad enough that Palestinian journalists and even children have to use English in videos instead of their native tongue in order to get the world leaders' attention.
It's my Birthday! There's no better way to celebrate it than by posting an early Merry Christmas from Pooh Bear himself. I posted it in my Redbubble store for anyone needing late Christmas shopping, but the artwork was removed due to copyright. Probably the algorithm mistook Winnie the Pooh's Santa suit as Disney's version of Winnie the Pooh with the short red shirt and one of the tags (The Pooh I drew is the public domain version). But it won't stop me from posting here! So Early Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all and be free to wish Happy Birthday in the comments below.
