wild to see this on my dash right after answering that ask from @goths-eat-electricity - i do still have some reservations about making lists like this, although the framing of “Anti-Zionist and/or Diasporist” may leave enough room for it to not necessarily be used as a “list of anti-zionist Jewish artists.” i just think folks should be aware of the potential for targeting. that said, many people on this list are friends & mutuals who i know are very public about their politics & would have no issue with it.

i appreciate being included! just want to update that my Redbubble shop closed last year - i do have a Threadless & a (sporadically stocked) Etsy shop.
