Reviews que me hicieron el corazón brincar, la vida ver con más emoción y gritar de plena satisfacción, no me puedo quejar y pienso que si pudiera escribir así y crear libros con amor que la gente termine encontrando fabulosos, los compra y ama leerlos así como yo me divertí escribiéndonos, me sentiría mejor en mi vida y también podría decir que tuve éxito.
Que bella la gente que se da el tiempo de comentar y dejar un comentario escrito, bendiciones a todas y todos
The Sandwich and the Flower: What the Washington Post Missed—and Why It Matters
By Marivel Guzman — Akashma News
August 21, 2025
A sandwich thrown in Washington has been turned into a symbol of resistance. A recent Washington Post feature highlighted “Sandwich Guy,” a mural in Adams Morgan, and framed it as a humorous emblem of American dissent amid political upheaval. The story charmed readers. But it left out a vital truth: the mural is a parody of Banksy’s Love Is In The Air (Flower Thrower) — an artwork born in Palestine and one of the most iconic protest images of the modern era.
Banksy painted Flower Thrower in Bethlehem, West Bank, in 2003. It depicts a masked protester mid-throw, not hurling a rock or Molotov cocktail, but a bouquet of flowers. The piece is not random. It was deliberately placed on a wall in occupied territory, transforming the image into a visual manifesto of Palestinian resistance: the substitution of beauty for violence, the insistence on defiance through creativity rather than destruction.
Yet in the Post’s coverage, this Palestinian origin was never mentioned. Readers were invited to chuckle at a sandwich flying through the air, but they were not asked to reflect on the flower that once did in Bethlehem.
Erasing Palestine Through Omission
That omission is not a simple oversight. Banksy’s placement of Flower Thrower in Bethlehem was a deliberate political act, rooted in Palestinian struggle. By congratulating “Sandwich Guy” as a D.C. symbol of defiance and ignoring its Palestinian foundation, The Washington Post effectively erases that lineage. This isn’t just about art appreciation. It is about narrative control.
The pattern is familiar. The Post and other U.S. mainstream outlets routinely frame stories of Palestine through the prism of Israeli security. Palestinian resistance is often depicted as instability or terrorism. Meanwhile, terms like genocide — used by UN experts and international legal scholars to describe the ongoing assault on Gaza — rarely appear in headlines. This selective vocabulary shapes perception: Israel’s concerns are validated, while Palestinians are rendered voiceless or illegitimate.
From Sandwiches to Flowers
By not crediting Banksy’s Palestinian mural, the Post avoided contextualizing “Sandwich Guy” in a global resistance lineage. U.S. readers could admire the parody, even see themselves in its humor, without confronting the uncomfortable reality that the image was borrowed from a people under occupation. The omission is safer for advertisers, political allies, and Washington’s policy consensus — but it strips the art of its history.
And here lies the double standard. If Banksy had painted Flower Thrower in Kyiv instead of Bethlehem, U.S. coverage would almost certainly celebrate its Ukrainian roots, crediting the artist’s intent and linking the mural to a narrative of noble resistance. The silence surrounding Palestine is deliberate, not incidental.
Media Bias as Editorial Policy
This erasure reflects a deeper editorial policy. Omission is itself a form of framing. By refusing to tie “Sandwich Guy” back to Palestine, the Post sidesteps an opportunity to connect two traditions of dissent: American protest against authoritarianism, and Palestinian resistance against occupation. To acknowledge that bridge would be to challenge a narrative that powerful interests prefer to maintain.
This silence is consistent with how major U.S. outlets, including the New York Times and CNN, cover Palestine: minimizing Palestinian suffering, amplifying Israeli justifications, and avoiding the political consequences of naming genocide.
Art Carries History
Art does not exist in a vacuum. Every image carries history, and every omission carries intent. When a sandwich flies in Washington, it is worth remembering the flower that once flew in Bethlehem — and the resistance it symbolized.
The Washington Post missed that connection. Or perhaps it chose not to make it. Either way, the silence speaks louder than the sandwich.
Banksy and Trademark Tensions
Banksy’s work has long resisted commodification, yet over recent years, Pest Control Office Ltd.—the artist’s administration—has pursued European Union trademark registrations on several iconic images, including Flower Thrower. Several of these attempts were cancelled by the EUIPO on grounds of “bad faith,” largely because the trademark claims were seen as protective rather than commercial in intent .
Banksy and Intellectual Property Tensions While Banksy often declares “copyright is for losers,” his representatives did pursue trademark rights over key works like Flower Thrower. In 2020, the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) cancelled that trademark, ruling it was asserted in “bad faith” — in part because Banksy’s anonymity prevented establishing ownership. The case, brought by Pest Control Office Ltd., revealed tensions between artistic ethos and institutional protections. The Art Newspaper Sept 17, 2020
A key case involved a figurative trademark depicting a monkey holding a placard (Laugh Now), which was initially annulled by the EUIPO Cancellation Division. However, in October 2022, the EUIPO’s Fifth Board of Appeal reversed that decision, ruling there was insufficient evidence of bad faith .
These developments underscore the dual nature of Banksy’s relationship with intellectual property—on one hand, advocating “copyright is for losers,” and on the other, asserting trademark rights to protect his art from commercial exploitation while preserving anonymity. For deeper legal analysis, see From the Flower Thrower to the Monkey, and Beyond: Banksy’s Battle With Trademarks Continues (Bonadio, Egeland & Jean‑Baptiste, 2023) .

Kamisama Kiss
Nanami quiere darle un regalo a Tomoe, pero, ¿qué le podría dar cuando Tomoe es un gran Zorro Guardián que todo lo puede y todo lo tiene?
La rabia era patente, si es que su ceño fruncido y ropa llenos de pintura no eran lo suficientemente claros. ¿Cuándo fue que pensó que pintar sería algo tan benditamente sencillo sin ningun problema? Se había sobre-estimado, claramente. Aunque se sentía un poquito mejor como Diosa que había empezado a atender las oraciones de sus fieles, como humana sentía que seguía siendo la estudiante que dependía de los demás aunque se esforzara el doble por intentar hacer las cosas por su cuenta.

I got to participate in the Soul Eater secret valentines exchange! This is my gift for @nerondynainfor ! Some goofy MaStar to fill your heart! The enemies to lovers trope is a classic and when I think of Maka and Blackstar I think about them being absolutely annoying to each other but love, care and respect each other, they just don’t admit it! In this one I like to think Blackstar gets on Maka’s nerves by taking bad selfies together and being obnoxious out in public but sweet and kind behind the scenes! I hope you like it! Happy Valentine’s Day!!!!
(also I know selfies don’t have flash but I really liked how it looked here lololol)
Give me a sec. Im just spechless.
Let me just assimilate this gift, the understanding about receiving this amazing illustration because we love the same anime and and... *gosh, I need to sit down*, this is making me so happy right now ;w;
I need to say this: This... THIS IS IT! Enemies to lovers trope forever! It's sick!
Thank you sooooooo much! I love it! I'm loving it!
*dances happily*
I think it's the first time I'm given an illustration. Can I print it? Yeah, I'm gonna print it ♡♡♡
As usual, I slide in at the very last minute!!!! But I’ve once again partnered with the wonderful @worldismyne (along with @nerondynainfor, who also made art you should check out!) to bring you Trust No One, a deeper dive into the beloved pistol sister of Liz Thompson!
I’ll say in advanced that a lot of the fic focuses on Liz having a smoking addiction, hence why I made it the focus of the piece. It also dives into her having very normal and heterosexual thoughts about the other weapon girl who attempts to keep things sane around these parts ;p.
Make sure to give the fic and other art piece some love as well!
You must also see the wonderful work of the cute artist for this story, Lilli ♡ otherwise your experience would be incomplete (and your heart too)
Trust No One
Summary: Liz has had a hard life and some habits are hard to break.

This year´s Resbang @worldismyne captivated me when created their darky and hard-cute story: an aspiring model Liz Thompson and a weapon too good to be truth Tsubaki Nakatsukasa. I just tried to bring their smokey love to our eyes, partially digital and aquarelle.

Pesadillas

Soul y Maka han empezado a ser pareja técnico-arma desde hace unos meses, pero Soul tiene pesadillas terribles y Maka... Maka le cuenta algo curioso. ¿Y si el fin de una pesadilla es el inicio de otra?
Desde donde estaba, Soul podía ver a Maka dormir. No era como si la estuviera espiando, pero se había despertado por culpa de una pesadilla donde estaba ella y había algún peligro. Otra vez.

Alright, couldn't help myself haha, got so inspired by my awesome Valentine's Exchange gift by @nerondynainfor that I also wanted to draw a dragon Soul – Some say that with just a single strum of his lyre, everything in one's heart will be laid bare, though perhaps not all things were meant to be unearthed...
(Seriously, thanks again for such a cool gift haha, loved it 💖)
The cool part about this: now I want to draw a Maka versión for it hahaah
Secret Valentine for @blackbloodteeth is as cute and awesome as this classy dragon! Soul as an cupid dragon with wings as strong as the north winds. Be carefully aware of the hiss his arrows makes: lovers crossed by him never have happy endings.
Aquarelle with a lot of patience, red and bermellion ❤️
