Youssef and his brothers Sham and Hamoud, a family from Gaza, were displaced from their home due to the war, leaving behind everything they owned. During the journey, they faced many difficulties and challenges, and they did not lose hope for a better future after your donations and support.

I will attach pictures of Youssef, Muhammad, and Sham for you

From the beautiful past to the bitter modern

I love her, she's great. Her recipes are friendly for both physical and/or intellectual disabilities. And her 5-year-old helps her cook. 🥰

so. i will offer you guys an incentive:

lately i've been (strangely) talking a lot about arthur and the minimoys thanks to scorpy's streams and videos because that movie is just so fascinating to me, and it's inevitable what this will result in. so i'll offer this: if you guys get vivi's fundraiser to the halfway point ($500) before the end of the month, i will watch and review all three arthur and the minimoys movies.

SO. if you wanna see me suffer through 3 terrible and weird kids movies, help vivi reach that midway goal before the end of the month. and while you're at it, commission them and their sibling @girinma and buy their stuff. they're great artists and even better people!

what are you waiting for? i gave you a tasty incentive, so please help my friend and their family out!!

so don't get too comfortable.

A lot of people know about the very first piece he did when he left the post which was the The Problem We All Live With which depicts Ruby Bridges walking to school under federal protection.

But I don’t think enough people know about Murder in Mississippi which depicts three real civil rights activists who were murdered by the Ku Klux Klan and sherriffs. The magazine ran the sketch instead of the finished piece because they felt it had a more striking statement to accompany the article. Norman Rockwell would finish that version after publication which is here

Rockwell’s legacy is sanitized because he decided to maintain his job at the Post for so long despite his frustrations with not being able to express himself. The civil rights movement was just his final straw to change what he could with the little time he had left. Look magazine received a lot of hate for Rockwell painting these as well.

Another favorite piece of mine is The Right to Know which depicts an integrated populace questioning their government. In 1968, the year of Vietnam and the year the Fair Housing Act only just got signed in months prior:

But I think it’s important to include the caption Rockwell originally wrote for the piece as well. I think it represents how a 74 year old Rockwell felt about the America he believed in and the people in it:
