“To be honest with you, Canada only works as a state...This would be the most incredible country visually,” [Trump] said. “If you look at a map, they drew an artificial line right through it, between Canada and the U.S., just a straight artificial line. Somebody did it a long time ago, many many decades ago, and it makes no sense.” -Donald Trump
And hey, just for fun, let's contrast that with another quote:
First of all, I would like to emphasize that the wall that has emerged in recent years between Russia and Ukraine, between the parts of what is essentially the same historical and spiritual space, to my mind is our great common misfortune and tragedy...I am confident that true sovereignty of Ukraine is possible only in partnership with Russia. -Vladimir Fucking Putin, the year before launching an attack on Ukraine, which everyone also said he was joking about and definitely wouldn't do (2021 essay, Kremlin official website 🇷🇺)
I know you're overwhelmed, Americans, but please stop saying this is a joke. Canadians are anticipating an invasion, possibly within the year. This is not a fucking drill.

Didn't you deactivate your Tumblr a while back? I'm just wondering.
Yes I did!
Know what I’m salty about?
In all my art classes, I was never taught HOW to use the various tools of art.
Like yes, form, and shape and space and color theory and figure drawing is important, but so is KNOWING what different tools do.
I’m 29 and I JUST learned this past month that India Ink is fucking waterproof when it dries. Why is this important? Because I can line something in India Ink and then go over it with watercolors. And that has CHANGED the ENTIRE way I art and the ease I can create with.
tldr: Art Teachers: teach your students what different tools do. PLEASE.

Etaf (E'taf? Ettaf?)'s campaign is filled with typos, including their own name.
In Hazem's campaign, they claim to be in Gaza with the goal to go to Egypt. You CANNOT create a GoFundMe campaign in Gaza OR Egypt. You can check the list of countries supported on GFM here.
Etaf claims to be in Egypt in the story. They're in Spain. When it comes to Hazem's campaign, the location of the organizer is omitted, yet they ask for Euros.
Etaf's beneficiary isn't mentioned in the story. The family members are Youssef, Moataz, Moatasem, Maria, Adam and Amira.
Notice how these accounts always have "Name+numbers"
The mandible (i.e. lower jawbone) isn't part of the rest of the skull, but rather affixed by cartilage, muscles and ligaments, so would not just be there attached to a dry skeleton. Look at the ribcage and how it goes all the way down to the pelvis... Also the skeleton would NOT be this clean. Notice the lack of clothes as well.
Those images are used to tug at your heartstrings.
