For the hostages.
We’re thinking of them every day. May you return home to your families and get to live in peace, safety, and freedom. May this conflict end forever with no more violent attacks. May the world soften its heart and open its eyes.

In honor of
The Hostages
This gift is in honor of the hostages, many of whom continue to live in the dark tunnels of Gaza, enduring all manner of abuse. This is also in honor of the brave women of Iran, the Yadhizi, the Kurds, the Ukrainians, and everyone who dares to stand up to violent tyranny, eggregious slander campaigns, and violent fascism. May truth and kindness prevail.
