This is the Palestine Film Institute website, it offers free access to multiple shorts, documentaries, films etc, as well as suggestions and a long list of cinematic art made by Palestinians.
This is Aflamuna, a non-profit platform dedicated to sharing independent films from the Arab region with audiences worldwide. Handpicked cult, classic, contemporary, and sometimes unreleased films that are mostly inaccessible to the public are made available free of charge every week. It has one of the most impactful Palestinian movies.
Last night I had a dream that I built a robot and I was being interviewed about it and the interviewer was like “Can you fuck it?” and I smugly answered “What kind of fool would make a robot that you can’t fuck?”
I want to dive into Russian textiles, which it doesn’t make sense telling you this since Tumblr format will show that post first but here we are. I wanted to first explore the Russian embroidery and its symbolism, since packing meaning into textile is such a wonderful concept.
Adoration of the Goddess:
These pieces can often be view as cloth scriptures in a way. They feature the old pagan beliefs and portray a female figure thought to be a to the ancient deity slavs, a goddess by the name of Mokosh, sometimes called the great earth mother. These pieces are normally ritual clothing.
Gifts of Love and Remembrance:
It’s common in Russian culture to gift a hand woven and lavishly decorated gift towels. Commonly given and used in weddings, they are a symbol of good fortune, and will often be given specific symbolism by the person weaving them.
The Tree of Life:
19th century art historian Vasili Stasov wrote, “In Russian embroidery, one can see the depictions of ancient Slavic rituals, like tree worship, and mermaid festivals.” In northern Russia, trees were a pretty important life source. They provided building material and firewood.
Thats all for now!

A/N: I found this among my drafts, and I thought I may as well post it. It was written before Journal 3 came out, obviously enough, but I still like the idea. Can’t promise frequent updates - I still have a lot of details to work out - and I can’t rule out running out of steam, but here’s what I have so far. Also watch out for mentions of alcohol abuse and, generally, Bill being bad news for Ford’s mental health. And also just plainly bad news.

“Not that it’s any of my business, buddy, but why on earth–”
“As you said just now, it is none of your business.”
The man tilted his head as though to concede the point, and didn’t press the matter any further: all he did was busying himself counting the money once more - a large wad of cash that was most of what remained of Ford’s grant for research. Still, he didn’t mind parting from it. It would be put to good use. The only thing that mattered right then was keeping Bill Cipher out of his mind. Keeping Bill out of their world as well would come easier once he had achieved that, wouldn’t it?
Wouldn’t it?

Ever think about how impressively vulnerable Bill’s confession in the Fearamid was? Bill looks uncharacteristically serious and even distressed while delivering that line; it’s clearly a hard thing for him to admit. “Says he’s happy, he’s a liar.” This is something he regrets, a mistake. He misses home. He’s scared and he’s hurt, but he’s also angry and powerful and that’s one destructive combination.
Moreover, I really don’t think he’d make that confession to someone he just considered a throw away pawn. Hell, Bill was fully prepared to give Ford literally everything. I can only imagine the fact that “literally everything” was unacceptable just because Bill was the one offering it made Bill’s loathing way worse.
No wonder he tortures Ford, that’s a painful thing to be confronted with and no one does that to Bill Cipher! I’m almost certain he’d turn his own pain onto Ford: “Your family isn’t coming back. No one actually loves you. You’re worthless. You were never special.”
I already said before that Bill Cipher is literally the worst character to get emotionally invested in but it's true. Like oh yeah I could cry over this silly cartoon triangle. Why? Oh let me just explain Journal 3 lore and tidbits from the Reddit AMA that reference a victorian novela that gives us the best picture of what his past and home dimension was like and also this secret poem that only exists in a spin off book thats otherwise non-canon and goes into how he regrets some of his actions and could potentially become better and also let me explain how all of this recontextualizes all these scenes from the show and his relationship with Ford. Btw all the horrible shit he did only fuels the fire like oil.
