On the fourth of August, a massive explosion hit Beirut. A large part of the city became rubble and many lives were lost. Currently, search and rescue teams are still digging through rubble looking for missing persons.
Home to nearly 1.5 million Syrian refugees, Lebanon is already experiencing a severe economic crisis. The country’s weak health system and current political crisis have left families with no means to protect themselves against a pandemic.

A message from the artist:
Due to the lockdown I had to stop all my activities. So, during the lockdown I challenged myself to release a new song every week on a drawn theme. This led to « Confinement en Rooje » project (Rooje on lockdown). Every week a theme was drawn from a list my sister had made.
(In French « rooje » is close to « rouge » which means « red » and it’s important for me because I see colors when I’m making music.)

An encouraging message to artists from noJnoJ Productions.
When Biden unofficially won the Democratic primary for president, many of us Hot Girls* For Bernie felt abandoned by the party. With our suddenly useless hotness, we had to find a new way to channel our hot bods for justice. With the general election less than one hundred days away, and the threat of another four years of 45 becoming graver by the day, I took off my Bernie 2020 crop top, shook around my big naturals and let them flop around in support of Vice President Joe Biden for president... unenthusiastically.
When I came out as a Hot Girl Unenthusiastically For Biden, I thought I’d be alone. But then, something amazing happened: Hot girls and hot people alike could be heard across the nation declaring, “I am a Hot Girl Unenthusiastically For Biden.”
This shirt is a way to self-express your lack of excitement about voting for an establishment creep, and spread the word of our mission: to be a hot girl who is like, “Yeah sure, Biden. Fine.”
All profits will go to Stacey Abram’s Fair Fight, a cause to ensure fair elections in all fifty states. Find more information about their work here:
