Both Arms Cradle You Now

With our Crips for Esims for Gaza Itch Bundle halfway to the $100,000 goal, let's take a minute to actually spotlight some of the works in it! A lot of stuff was specifically created or submitted for our cause, and are not only entertaining, but are great resources for getting yourself involved!

Let's check some of these projects out!

What Palestinians’ Use of eSIMs Can Teach Us About Tech

A fantastic introduction essay written by friend of the group, @chloetankahhui.bsky.social, specifically for our bundle! I highly suggest it as your first download after purchase!

What Is An eSim?

Another project designed to quickly inform people on how eSims are used in Gaza! Made by various volunteers in our own Crips for eSims group. We hope to use this as an easy printable way to spread the word of what we do!

Cartoonists for Palestine anthology

250 whooping pages of incredible art! It is worth spending an evening looking through all 63 stories! Thank you to @redgoldsparks for submitting this collection!

a fruit is a stone

A chapbook made by one of our volunteers, who also apparently studies rocks on Mars! Go ahead and take a minute to read some poetry about sediment.

Game Assist for Palestine Companion Zine

If you love video essays about video games, especially breaking down the politics in them, then grab yourself the companion zine for some of Game Assist's videos!

In Fear of Fucking It Up

In Fear of Fucking It Up is a zine collecting scraps of essays focused on the authors personal thoughts; all themed on the intersectionality of the Palestinian and African American struggle, the overwhelming pressure to perform socially, and general thoughts about acts of resistance. A neat little zine with a very personal perspective!

'Tis the Season

Have you ever wanted to be a mistletoe themed superhero? Check out this TTRPG to get involved with domestic actions from protecting protestors to destroying arms shipments!

ANY SAND

May be a little biased, since hexcavator is one of the wonderful authors of our bundle, but Any Sand is a beautifully crafted point and click game with themes of resistance similar to the Rasha Abdulhadi poem it is named after.

Drawings for Palestine

Now it's time for some free poster assets! This bundle by Axell is planned to be updated over time; with all works in the public domain!

RISO PRINT FILES FOR PALESTINE

I'm not entirely sure what a risograph print is, but these also have inkjet and laser printer file formats available! The concept of scanning in your own keffiyeh for the red layer is a brilliant way to make your own print run unique!

MASK UP! Poster print pack

Plenty of color options available for your needs! Gosh this poster is just so cool. Thanks @counterintuitivecomics for submitting it along with a really cool guide for navigating Covid-19!

Esims for Gaza Poster Graphics

Ending on my own art hahaha! I've been doing what little I can to make poster graphics for our cause since July of 2024. I never would have expected them to end up wheatpasted around Canada! I'll also be updating this pack with new assets or updated information when I can. Use these graphics and characters however you like, just be sure to send me pictures!

And that ends our round up of Palestine themed projects! This should be plenty to keep you busy for a few evenings, but that's only some of the over 200 projects submitted to our bundle! There's plenty more hidden treasure in there, but that may be for another day. This post is already getting to "color of the sky" length anyways.

But hey hey, did YOU read a zine or game in this bundle that you really enjoyed, and you think people should check out? Let folks know! And let them know that our bundle is still going until the end of May 19th!

At the time of this post, we are already halfway to our new goal of 100k! Let's get it up there!

lizzie lafayette? perhaps?? perchance?? prithee??

I don't remember how this conversation went, but it was something along these lines I'm pretty sure...

you have to be able to defend people who are receiving unjust treatment even if they annoy you even if you personally find them extremely annoying you still have to be able to stand up and say "well thats fucked up"

charlie showing up to wonderlust filming on one hour of sleep and with the first hangover he's ever had is beautiful. i 100% believe it when he said he locked in as troy.

he says it's one of his favorite recordings. can't believe charlie is method acting for wonderlust

Paeon in ppe from episode 9? :)

Here you go anon :) she's so silly

i have so many ideas for wonderlust art (mostly troy... who woulda guessed...) but like. UGH !!!!!! i hate drawing cool perspective !!!!!! i hate anatomy !!!!! but i gotta do it to improve !!!!

exploding my mind with my mind

more wonderlust doodles (mostly troy)

ive been wanting to draw the face he made when they asked about his mom, its not quite the exact expression i wanted but i like it anyways. i then doodled runt and blink awkwardly staring lmfao

also yes i drew him covered in blood (and the other two being terrified) (the pose and expression was similar to the one of him being a pretty boy bc i drew that first and was like. needs to be covered in blood)

You wanna know another interesting thing I noticed about Troy? His jumpsuit covers his entire body except his head. Meaning huge parts of him could be augmented with machinery / he could have prosthetics, and we'd have no idea. While lots of people have been drawing him with his suit ripped and tattered, or in an undershirt that shows his arms, in canon there has been no mention of his suit getting torn or any skin being exposed.

All we the flesh that know for certain that Troy has is:

Head and neck

Digestive tract (and enough intact organs and blood to be affected by alcohol)

What this means is that ALL HIS LIMBS COULD BE CLOCKWORK. He even has gloves so that we can't see his hands!

There's also the moment in the most recent episode where Troy CATCHES THE ATTACK of the GIANT ROBOT he's fighting WITH HIS HANDS. That's NOT A NORMAL HUMAN THING TO DO. Especially at level 1, which in dnd terms is basically "slightly above average normal people". It feels like Charlie choosing to play blocking the attack that way at level one was a deliberate choice, coming from someone so familar with dnd.
