The amount of times I see my short film reposted here without credit was insane. So I’m reclaiming my baby.
I made this during my first year of animation school :) #animation
My 2024 capybara swimsuit design was copied by Retro Stage, a fast fashion company that appears to be using AI-generated imagery to recreate and sell stolen versions of independent artists’ work.
HUGE NEWS: A visual library of black hairstyles just released! If you're sick of crawling through Pinterest like I am, try out Afro.Index! It's very new + still growing, but it's already pretty solid!
She Called The FBI In 1996. They Opened A File. Then They Told Her It Never Existed. She Spent 29 Years Being Called A Liar.
September 3, 1996.
A file is opened inside FBI headquarters.
Classification: child pornography.
The woman who made the call is identified only as "a professional artist."
She described photos she had seen inside a Manhattan mansion. She described the man who owned those photos. She described what she witnessed being done to young girls.
She gave them everything.
Then she waited.
Nobody called back.
Nine years later, a local detective in Palm Beach knocked on a different door. Found forty victims. Handed the FBI photographs, videos, and documented evidence of child trafficking across multiple states.
The FBI opened a formal investigation.
Two years later — they closed it.
One plea deal. Thirteen months. Out by noon every day on work release.
The trafficking continued. The FBI kept receiving tips. For eleven more years, women were brought to his island, his Manhattan townhouse, his private ranch.
For eleven more years — the file sat there.
It took a newspaper reporter to force the arrest in 2019.
Thirty-three days later, he was dead.
Now twelve women — listed only as Doe 1 through Doe 12 — are standing in federal court.
They're not suing his estate.
They're suing the FBI.
They want $100 million. And they want every internal document, every memo, every email showing exactly who received each tip — and made the decision to do nothing.
But here's the part that changes everything.
When the FBI's own internal review was published in 2020 — it didn't mention the 1996 complaint. Not once.
For another five years, the woman who made that call was told: your report doesn't exist.
In December 2025, the DOJ confirmed it did.
One page. Dated September 3, 1996.
Which means someone inside the FBI knew that file existed — and chose not to include it in their own review.
The question isn't whether the file was real.
The question is: who decided to make it disappear?

Saturday afternoon in the village of Wadi al-Rahim. Mohammed Shnaran, a 57-year-old farmer, was out in his barley field because a settler had driven a herd of cows into his crops. Mohammed and his sons had spent months cultivating that field.
When Mohammed tried to call the police, there was no answer. He tried to film the damage, but the settler smashed his phone and hit him in the face with brass knuckles.
Then reinforcements arrived—settlers in an off-road vehicle. One of them was wearing an army uniform. From just a few meters away, the uniformed settler fired two shots at Mohammed’s son, 29-year-old Amir. The bullets hit his neck and chest. He died instantly in his father’s arms.
While Mohammed was checking for a pulse, the settler fired again, hitting his other son, Khaled, in the side. Khaled is currently in intensive care, unconscious, and likely paralyzed for life.
As the family tried to rush the brothers to a clinic, settlers used their own cars to block the road, delaying their access to help. By the time they reached a doctor, Amir was pronounced dead.
By that evening, the story had been flipped. The settlers released a video claiming they had survived a "brutal lynch" and that a "soldier" had stepped in to save them. The people who brought cows, brass knuckles, and rifles onto private property were now the victims. The military's official response called the killing of a son a "claim" that they are "investigating."
The next morning, the brother of the shooter showed up at the edge of the village with a backhoe and military protection. He started digging up the land to make it easier for settlers to trespass. He didn’t wait 24 hours. He was back at the exact spot where Amir was murdered, protected by the same army that stood by the day before.
Mohammed is left with a field of trampled barley and a destroyed family. He followed the law, he called for help, and he stayed on his own land. In return, he is burying one son and praying for another who may never walk again.
This is the reality of the South Hebron Hills. It is a place where a neighbor can destroy your life and then return the next day with a tractor and a uniform to finish the job. - Miral Askar
@emkenobi We need to stop saying "Hollywood" and put faces and names to actions. I'll start: The Playboy photographers name was Garry Gross (irony) and he was best known for photographing children nude. Best known. On December 9, 2010 he died of a well deserved heart attack.
The fact her mother allowed her to be basically pimped out to every freak in Hollywood who wanted to make a film sexualizing a child is disgusting. She was 11 years old when she filmed Pretty Baby which is a film about a 12 year old growing up in a brothel as a prostitute who then gets married to one of the men who exploits her.
She also did Playboy when she was 10 years old and was photographed completely nude after her mother gave consent. She was robbed of her childhood and it’s truly amazing she ended up having a happy life after everything she went through.
They’re not “getting pregnant” they’re being RAPED. ICE officers are separating girls from their families and taking them to separate facilities so they can rape them. This is the “law and order” the Trump administration is using our money to fund.
On March 5, 2023, Dexter Wade left home and was struck by an off duty Jackson Police Department corporal driving a department SUV on Interstate 55. He died at the scene.
Although authorities later claimed they could not locate his family, Dexter had a prescription pill bottle in his pocket with his name on it. By March 9, the coroner had already confirmed his identity through those records and fingerprints.
Dexter’s mother, Bettersten Wade, reported him missing on March 14. For the next six months she searched tirelessly. She called the police again and again, looked through abandoned houses, and posted appeals on Facebook hoping someone had seen her son. Throughout that time, the police, who already knew his identity, repeatedly told her they had no information about him.
Months later, after keeping Dexter’s body in the morgue, the county buried him in July in a pauper’s field at a penal farm cemetery reserved for the unclaimed. His grave carried no name, only the number 672.
It was not until late August 2023 that a police officer finally came to Bettersten Wade’s home and told her what had happened.
Bettersten Wade believes the circumstances surrounding her son’s death and the way authorities handled it were not simply an accident. In 2019 her brother, George Robinson, died after being body slammed by Jackson police. Since then, she had been outspoken in the legal fight against the department over her brother’s death.
Because of that history, she believes the police knew exactly who Dexter was but chose to withhold the information from her as retaliation.
When the family finally received permission to exhume Dexter’s body in November 2023 so they could give him a proper burial, they arrived at the cemetery expecting to witness the process. Instead, they discovered that authorities had already exhumed his body hours earlier, denying his mother the chance to see her son brought out of the ground.
BREAKING: A Mississippi mother who spent 7 months searching for her missing son, later discovered that an off-duty officer ran him over less than an hour after he left the house.
Authorities then allegedly buried him without notifying his family.
@AustinJustice Almost as disturbing as Vasquez's unprosecuted rap sheet is the fact that spitting on a cop is a felony while punching people in the face is a misdemeanor.
AUSTIN MAN walks up to a stranger using a computer on the fourth floor of the Central Library, punches him in the head so hard he's knocked out of his chair, stomps on his head multiple times while he lies unconscious on the floor -- then calmly walks back to his own computer and sits down.
The victim is in critical condition with life-threatening injuries. Police Chief Lisa Davis (@APDChiefDavis) happened to be in the building and made the arrest herself.
On a city bus in 2024, Vasquez threatened an 11-year-old boy, cocked his leg back to kick him full-force, then stood up and punched the kid's mother in the face. She's a Spanish speaker and couldn't even understand the threats. A female bystander tackled Vasquez to protect them. He punched her in the head repeatedly. All was on video.
Child endangerment charge and two assaults charges. Dismissed.
Six months before that, he punched a CapMetro bus driver in the mouth hard enough to cause a bloody laceration. During the arrest, he called an officer a racial slur and spit directly in his face. Felony harassment of a public servant. Dismissed to "pre-trial diversion."
He also had a felony terroristic threat against a public servant. Also dismissed.
His Travis County record:
• 10 cases
• 3 felonies -- all dismissed
• 4 assaults -- all dismissed
• 0 jury trials
Now someone is fighting for their life in a hospital because a man with a documented pattern of unprovoked violence kept walking out of the courthouse.
ON CAMERA, Israeli soldiers savagely gang raped Palestinian detainees at the infamous Sde Teiyman prison camp.
After the scandal broke, instead of generating outrage and disgust in Israel, it generated a mass protest in support of the IDF’s “right to rape Palestinian hostages.”
Today, the Israel military closed the investigation against the confessed soldier-rapists.
Dr Adnan Bursh, head of orthopedic surgery at Shifa was sodomized to death by the IDF in Jail.
He was a great surgeon, full of life, who trained at King's College Hospital in 🇬🇧.

Let me tell you about the picture in Frame 1.
In August 2017, as a litigation lawyer in Lagos, I had work to do that required me to be at the office during the weekend.
There was only one problem that weekend.
I had a 16 months old son, no nanny and no one to leave him with at home so I asked my boss if I could bring him with me and she was gracious enough to agree. While I was working, my son fell asleep and I had to lay him down on the floor beside my table.
In that moment, I took a picture of him sleeping and made a promise to myself that if I ever had my own firm, at some point in that journey, no woman working with me who had a caregiver emergency and needs to be at work will have to lay her baby on the floor.
That same day, I thought of my struggles as a breastfeeding mother in the workplace and promised again that no woman working with me who had a baby will ever have to struggle for a private space to use her breast pump at work, relieve her aching breast to focus and save some quality milk for her baby.
Frame 2
Today, we finished the renovation of our office building complete with a nursing room.
Litigation is tough for women.
The firm should not make it tougher.
Strichland LP has a nursing room and today, by the grace of God, I kept that promise.

Police taser and kill a man and say he “became lifeless”.
A child is raped and they say a man “had sex with an underage woman”
A US citizen is killed by ICE and we’re told they were a “domestic terrorist”
The soft pedalling language helps the aggressors.
It hides atrocities.
Utterly horrific. Some days I can’t believe the cavalier disregard for children and women’s safety:
14 month old Tilly Servin was tortured to death by Alfredo Muñoz Jr her biological father in. He has convictions for child abuse and attempted murder and yet he was given full custody.
How does that even happen when he’d just come out of prison after a four year sentence for child abuse?
Alfredo, 41, and Kelly Muñoz, 34, were arrested on suspicion of murder and torture in November after Tilly was rushed to the hospital with a severe brain injury. Both have pleaded not guilty to charges of felony child abuse.
Alfredo Muñoz initially said he tripped over a baby gate while holding Tilly, according to an autopsy report from the L.A. County medical examiner.
Sweet Tilly died Nov. 10.
The autopsy found a “constellation of injuries that cannot be explained by a single low-level or short-distance accidental fall,” including blunt head trauma and a severe spinal cord injury.
Tilly had “repeated inflicted trauma,” the medical examiner found.
Quite rightly Alexis, Tilly’s mother, has filed a lawsuit.
The people making these decisions need to be investigated and prosecuted. Enough is enough. There need to be serious consequences
