My name is Fatima, a 21-year-old woman🤰.Just one month before the war, I was engaged, dreaming of a warm home and a small family.But the war tore us apart—my fiancé and I were separated between northern and southern Gaza, with no way to communicate💔.

Despite the pain, we held on to hope. Months later, I left my family and joined him.We got married, believing it was the start of a new life.But the bombing returned, and we were displaced again… Now we live in a fragile tent in western Gaza, awaiting the birth of our first child amid conditions unfit for life🥹😭.

I’m pregnant🤰, and my due date is near🥹. I have none of the essentials I need as a mother or even as a human being🙏.We lack everything: medical care, food, clean water, and basic supplies for childbirth and the baby🥲.

I’m not asking for the impossible—just enough to protect my life and my baby’s

Your donation is our only hope🥹😢.

Every donation, word of support, can make a real difference

We proudly announce our new upcoming graphic novel, The Switch Up! It's got the shenanigans of Freaky Friday, the intergenerational family conflicts of Turning Red, and the intermittent long distance swap of Your Name... but spanning opposite ends of the Earth. When Cahaya and Kris start mysteriously swapping bodies with each other every other day, the two discover so much more than what it takes to impersonate a different life. This is our loving tribute but also thorough critique of the body swap genre.

it's still a long way to go (years,,,) before this book is finished, but we're so happy to share what we've been working on these past years! Centering this story on queer kids of color meant having to challenge the traditional structure of body swap narratives, and I truly can't wait to show you all what we've come up with. It's really like nothing you've ever seen before.

Her artwork is simply super, and we’re so lucky to have such a lovely illustrator on the team!

My name is Hussam. I am a father, a husband… and I am trying to keep my family alive. 💔

Before the war, we lived a simple, peaceful life in Gaza. My wife and I were raising our six children—four boys, one girl, and our baby daughter who had not yet turned one. Our home was small, but it was full of laughter, warmth, and love. 🏡❤️

Then, in a single moment, everything was gone.

Airstrikes destroyed our home. The walls that once protected my children turned into rubble. I still remember the sound… the fear in their eyes… the way they held onto me as we ran for our lives. I couldn’t take anything with me—only my family. 😢💥

Now, we live in a fragile tent in a refugee camp. ⛺

The cold does not wait. The wind enters from every side. At night, my children cannot sleep—not because of noise, but because of hunger. My baby daughter cries in my arms, and I have nothing to give her. No milk. No warmth. Only empty hands and a broken heart. 🥶👶💔

As a father, this is the deepest pain—to see your children suffer and feel helpless.

Every day is a battle. I search for food. I try to keep our tent standing. I try to protect my children from sickness, fear, and despair. I am doing everything I can… but it is not enough. 😔

I need your help.

I want to be honest with you: during my last fundraising campaign, I was scammed. At a time when we had nothing, we lost even more. It broke me—but I refused to give up on my children. ⚠️💔

Now, I have created a new campaign with the help of a trusted friend, so your support can safely reach my family. I am asking you from my heart—please give us another chance. 🤝

Your help can save my children. 🙏

Even a small donation can mean: 🍞 Food for my hungry children

🍼 Milk for my baby daughter

💊 Medicine when we are sick

🧣 Blankets to survive the cold nights

Please, my friends… do not turn away.

If you cannot donate, please share my story. Your share could reach someone who can help save my family. 📢

That feeling when Israel is buying up land and property in both of my countries 🥲.

Greece and Cyprus have been stated to be a target for Israeli "investors" and settlers, as a part of the EU it is a safe retreat from counterstrikes onto Israel from the countries it bombs. About 60% of all land and property purchases from foreigners in Greece are done by Israelis.

And on top of that recently massive amounts of public land/beaches in Vlore was sold to Israel by Albanian president Edi Rama. Barbwire fences have been put up around the beaches and land and have been closed down to the public, including one of the very few islands that Albania has.

Said island also has one of the last deltas in Europe, which is considered a reserve due to its importance for the local environment/ecosystem. And development on it has already begun, without announcement. Many trees on the fenced out land have been cut. Locals aren't allowed to go past the fence, many of whom also own property behind it and are being cut off of their land.

There has been protests, the fences were taken down once but they were reinstalled and are now being patrolled by Albania's own police.

Edit: it turns out I was wrong about a few things, first, the Israeli investors in Greece account for 40-50% of foreign land purchases, with the highest estimate I could find saying 57%

And the island of Sazan is not infact being sold, but it is unfortunately still being developed

[arson-jellyfish]

A second amendment to this post, after more information came out on the topic:

As it turns out, there is no hard evidence linking Israel to the land sale in Albania, the rumours spawned due to Israeli flags/signs having been put up over the fence. However, the American investor Jared Kushner, who IS connected to the deal also has strong ties to Israel.

Israel's history of land theft, war and genocide and shady economic and political practices made it very easy for me to automatically take the rumours at face value.

I would like to apologise for spreading rumours and potential misinformation, I will not talk about this subject again unless I'm 100% informed on the subject and I apologise if any statement I made was offensive to Jewish people.

A stance that I will hold firmly however is that Judaism and Zionism are two seperate beliefs, and my condemnation of Israel's genocide in Palestine and it's war against Iran doesn't equate to anti-Semitism.

I will automatically block any person who tries to use this post to be anti-Semitic. Nazis are not welcome here.

my thesis on Lara Lor-Van and her sidelining as far as Clark’s development is ultimately that it is based in real world misogyny. free my girl she deserves to be made at least as complex and threatening as Jor-El

@arson-jellyfish you understand my vision so this will not be getting left in comments

Also, Superman is inherently entangled with his immigrant status. Every single "evil Superman" story leaves a sour taste in my mouth, ESPECIALLY when they maintain his alien origin, because it always reads as "yes I read your immigration narrative and I decided I don't trust him. Would you like to read my hit piece about the potential dangers of inviting immigrants SUPERHEROES into our society?"

No, actually... I'd really rather not...

[arson-jellyfish]

THANK YOU! and matter of fact, apply this to the rest of Krypton as well. Kryptonians being evil just doesn't fucking work, narratively. This is why I hated the Superman movie and why I dropped My Adventures With Superman.

The only two routes you can take when you make Kryptonians evil are 1) Demonising immigrants and 2) Coloniser apologist. And neither of those is any good

"Why do you buy books when the library is right there?"

Because publishing houses will not continue printing paper books if libraries are their only customers.

Also, I like being able to read at my leisure and generally have books at hand.

[its-the-blob]

#public libraries are good because they let people access books they might never otherwise read#private book ownership is good because it's Yours#physical books are good because they last a long time and again it's Yours#ebooks are good because you can fit a whole library into the physical space of a single book and they're cheaper to produce#audiobooks are good because they're accessible to people with eyesight or visual reading issues and leave your hands free#in conclusion: all books are good and people should enjoy them however and whenever they can#(lest it be misunderstood I agree with you completely OP I just also really like books in general and it got away from me)

YES. all books. every kind

[adibkhorram]

Yes to all this but I would like to add some extra context...

Publishers make a ton of money from selling paper books (and ebooks) to libraries. Public libraries, university libraries, K-12 school libraries...every major publisher has school and library marketing teams, school and library sales teams, school and library imprints...Libraries are a HUGE chunk of the market. Especially for children's literature, where, historically, school and library purchases accounted for around 75% of a book's earnings.

So the concerted attacks on books in schools and libraries since 2021 has had a devastating effect. Authors who used to make a living writing books that schools and libraries bought in large quantities (and then would go visit those schools and libraries to talk about books with kids) have seen their income plummet. Publishers have shuttered entire school and library imprints—one of which was 65 years old and had won every major award for children's literature multiple times. (Full disclosure they published MY award winning children's books!)

AND did you know right now the house is considering HR2616, which would ban books that have any mention of "gender ideology" from schools? That means any book written by or including trans people.

Call your reps!

Following a recent re-watch of a couple Superman:the animated series episodes I just had an idea for the most toxic Yaoi ship I think I've ever conceived. John Corben Metallo x Rudy Jones Parasite. Hear me out.

Since being put into the robot body, Corben can't feel anything. No pain, pleasure, taste, smell or sensation of any kind. Sight and hearing are all he has left, up until, during a prison break Parasite touches him to take his powers. And Corben feels it. Signals shoot out from the wires in ways they weren't meant to as power is sapped from them, and the buzzing sense given off by that minor malfunction is the only thing Corben has felt in years.

Rudy on the other hand desperately wants power, to be feared, to be looked at as something greater than. More than that, the feeling of energy flowing through him as he steals it from another being is the sweetest in the world. And doing it to superpowered people is even better. So in the absence of a red-and-blue clad Alien to feast on he settles for the next best thing: whoever is closest to him at the moment. Bonus points that taking from metallo gives him the powers of kryptonite, which will make taking hold of Superman later down the line easier.

Obviously these two don't actually give a shit about each other in the long run, only seeing the other as a means to get what they want, and the fact that Rudy explicitly wants superman alive so he can keep taking power from him, while Corben wants to kill him for revenge will drive a pretty big wedge between the two, but think about it.
