A bystander took a heart-wrenching picture of Liam Ramos in his hat and Spiderman backpack, and there was pressure, and he and his father are free. We must not forget all the prisoners still in the camps whose names and faces are known only to their loved ones. We must make miracles for them, too.

(2/2) Thanks for reading :)
Page 5. To revel in the open wound, to take them from the outside world to inside of myself, make them answerable to me and me alone. What better way is there, really, to do this than thru comics?

Last panel is my reflection in the mirror as I draw on my tablet. My hair is long and I'm sat on my bed in my boxers, focused.

(1/2) my autobio comic for noah's ark IV "I'm not allowed to draw this!"
title: nauma in "I can't draw this!" for noah's ark IV
Narration: It was really hard for me to think of what to draw for this theme because I'm at a place in my career where I'll draw anything for a biscuit.
Panel shows a hand holding a biscuit emerging from a curtain saying "6 nipples, 21 toes, 14 cocks, 7 heads..." I impatiently draw at a tablet saying "YA just leave the money on the table!!!" 

Narration: But when I really think about what I'm embarrassed to show anyone... I guess... it's like... pretty... girls... in dresses... 
Panel shows a girl tucking her hair behind her ear. I'm starting to blush.

Narration: and they get fucked??? (usually by men...) I...
Panel shows a beautiful girl with curly hair in lingerie tied in ropes while a hand burns her thighs with a cigarette. I look dismayed.Page 2. Narration: I... isn't this so HETERONORMATIVE and BORING? I used to be so smug about my niche tastes, and now I'm nothing special!!! But it was a big deal for me to get here.

Flashback to a few years ago where I'm sobbing in front of a mirror, my hair short. I think "GOD I really treat myself like SHIT! I don't treat myself like a person let alone a girl. I just treat myself like some THING! (I was so cute with short hair tho.)

I had received plenty of this growing up, but now as an adult I found myself alone holding the whip. (Where did everyone go?) And I wanted out.

In images of beautiful girls I saw a personhood not afforded to me. I hated them, but I wanted to be them. Like Prometheus, I wanted to poach that divine flame. Panels show grainy classical images of girls with long hair, pretty dresses, skinny limbs, etc.Page 3. So I made new stories. I drew up these women that didn't exist outside of me. They existed because of me. Drawing is kinda based in this way. From your hand to the line and back into your brain, it becomes possible to craft a new relationship with yourself. (drawing porn especially is really good for this)Page 4. To be clear, it would be wrong to say I uncovered some primal truth or became emancipated from the social order and history which stripped me of my personhood in the first place. Any wounds I've endured are alive and well within me. And I want to ask: why heal at all? (And heal into what?) Panel shows Botticelli's venus with a gash in her stomach.

Ultimately what I did was decide to show an interest in myself. To become instrumental in my pleasure as well as my misery. Panel shows me walking home on my street.

Craps sake, I just clicked through, and of course it’s all about trans healthcare! 😭😭😭 They’ve got a whole bloody section on puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones — the ONLY medication specifically mentioned in this survey. Why can’t they just leave trans people alone??
Recent restrictions on the sale and supply of puberty-suppressing hormones
In 2025, following 3 temporary emergency orders, the government introduced indefinite legislation placing restrictions on the sale and supply of puberty-suppressing hormones for under 18s with gender incongruence and/or gender dysphoria through private prescriptions, and for any indication for under 18s through EE prescriptions. This followed in the wake of findings from the Cass Review about the safety of these medicines and advice from the Commission on Human Medicines about the current prescribing environment.
We are seeking evidence to understand the impact of this change.
Do you wish to answer questions regarding placing restrictions on the sale and supply of puberty-suppressing hormones?
If you select 'no' you will go straight to section 3, which is focused on quality of care.
O Yes
O NoTo what extent do you agree or disagree with the following statements?
Restrictions on the sale and supply of puberty-suppressing hormones to under 18s for gender incongruence and/or gender dysphoria have been effective in limiting prescribing by UK private prescribers. (Optional)

I know a lot of you have already heard or read about BDS Movement's call against Microsoft, and felt weird and bad about it all, but decided to move forward as normal because of some degree of ambiguity. "What service is Microsoft providing?" Here it is, clear as day. A direct line to death.
According to three Unit 8200 sources, the cloud-based storage platform has facilitated the preparation of deadly airstrikes and has shaped military operations in Gaza and the West Bank.

Thanks to the control it exerts over Palestinian telecommunications infrastructure, Israel has long intercepted phone calls in the occupied territories. But the indiscriminate new system allows intelligence officers to play back the content of cellular calls made by Palestinians, capturing the conversations of a much larger pool of ordinary civilians.
