“At the centre of the human heart, is the longing for an absolute good, a longing which is always there and is never appeased by any object in this world.” — Simone Weil, “Draft for a Statement of Human Obligation” (via philosophybits)

Context to the story:
The girl cut her hair once so that she could have bangs. The mother disapproved and decided to cut off 15" of her hair as punishment. The girl later again decided to change her hair style and the above was the result; she shaved her daughters head.
Having a few personal experiences with this kind of invasive behaviour it really hurts to see someone go through these kinds of things, where the parent tries to live vicariously through their childs life, to attempt to shape them and make their decisions for them depending on what THEY would do and give their child NO independence or self expression.
Thankfully, this mother thought her actions were 100% justifiable and posted it to Facebook as a bit of a “haha, teach my kid a lesson” and has been hit with brutal recrimination from her community and has had visits from Child Protective Services.
For so many young (and older) girls their hair is their self expression, and in several months I hope this girl will have hers back.
Fucking hell this is infuriating! What a sick parent. Shameful.
wtf is wrong with some parents. This is awful O_o

Anubis is an ancient Egyptian god associated with mummification and the afterlife, usually depicted as a canine.
First of a new set of designs for a project of mine. One of the depictions I saw the most when I started looking for references was the little black statues/figures with the gold band around the neck, which is what I kept as the theme for the whole suit.
Before I started the illustration that lead me to making this reference sheet (back in May 2018) I had NO idea that Anubis in a suit was a thing. It is.
This is not about Egypt and it’s not about deities. More soon~
