URGENT COMMISSIONS!

believe me when i say I didn't wanna have to resort to urgent comms, but I've sadly realised that I have no other choice.

my job contract has expired in October, and I have been jobless since. I simply cannot get a new job for the love of me, no matter how many applications I send I just can't ever get hired, there's not a single job vacancy that fits my criterias and limitations that accepts me.

I have installments to finish paying, and I am dependant on my parent's money. Problem is, my family is also in a poor financial situation. My parents are also the ones who pay for my university.

Whenever I buy something, no matter how cheap it is, I feel extremely guilty and with a heavy conscience because it's technically them who are paying for that. I am tired of that. I am tired of depending on my family's money, tired of feeling bad for asking them for money. I want to be able to pay for my own things by myself, to stop feeling so stressed and guilty. Not to mention that I also want to be able to help them in return, even if it's just with some smaller bills, because the fact that I no longer have a financial income makes me feel pretty useless.

I've had commissions open for a while but so far, I've only had a single client. This is my commission sheet:

I'm brazilian and my currency is BRL, feel free to use a online conversion to see how much these prices would equal in your currency. If you'd like to give me a ko-fi tip, please feel free to!

I can also draw pokémons, it'd be the same price as fullbody illustrations. My DMs are open to talk about comms only.

I'm currently trying to join vgen so I can open comms there too, but because I no longer have a public twitter nor instagram, I can't comment under one of their weekly posts to try and get a code, which leaves me resorting to the other method: getting a certain amount of engagement in a specific post (this one), so liking that post would be super appreciated as well!

thank you for your attention!

When Amal surprised me by telling me she named her newborn after me, I felt like part of my heart had gone to Gaza and remained there ever since.

This part of my heart is now breaking. Amal, who's been on a poor diet because she can't afford better food, is unable to breastfeed baby Mina any longer, and is unable to afford enough formula to compensate, and now both mother and baby are weak and malnourished.

Amal is suffocating from the stress of having to provide for her daughters. Her husband Motasem is doing everything he can (recently, he was almost caught in a bombing while trying to get food) but they're both overwhelmed. I wish there was anything I can do for them.

I'm begging you to donate if you can and share if you can't. I want, more than anything in this world, for these kids to grow up healthy and for their parents to be able to rest.

When my family first moved to the UK, we faced a similar risk to our wellbeing & safety as many are facing now, albeit for different reasons. in light of everything happening in Ireland & the tensions increasing in Glasgow, and the perennial England, here’s a list of actionable things to do for people who may be targeted & anti racist allies.

MY HOME IS ON THE LIST/LIKELY TO BE TARGETED, WHAT CAN I DO?

* it may bring you peace of mind to have a go-bag ready, just in case. A go-bag is a bag with everything in it that you need to get out a volatile situation quickly. Any bag that can be secured (buttoned or zipped) will do. In your go-bag, you should include;

- identifying documents; passport/driver’s license/asylum card/ILR certificate/British Residency permit card

- Wallet and/or banking books

- A spare charger & cable and/or a power bank

- any shelf-stable medication (tablets, inhalers etc.) if you are on medication that needs to be refrigerated, leave it in the fridge until you have to leave

- Sanitary items; toothbrush, toothpaste, sanitary pads & tampons, deodorant. If you have very young children with you, you may also want to take your nappy bag.

* If you have to leave, a go-bag is a convenient way to ensure you have everything of importance with you.

* If you are being supported by an asylum seekers or refugee charity, or are a member of a gurdwara/temple, mosque, synagogue or church, reach out to your religious leaders. They may be able to provide direct support, or put you in contact with organisations or other congregants who can help. If you are friendly with your neighbours, it may be worth contacting them too.

* IN THE EVENT THAT “PROTESTORS” DO COME TO YOUR HOUSE, CALL 999 IMMEDIATELY, AND FOLLOW ANY INSTRUCTIONS THEY GIVE YOU. MOVE AWAY FROM ANY WINDOWS. DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR UNLESS INSTRUCTED TO DO SO BY EMERGENCY SERVICES.

I’M AN INTERNATIONAL STUDENT/CARE WORKER/NHS WORKER, WHAT SHOULD I DO?

* Contact your student welfare office/NHS Trust/agency for advice, support and referral to organisations that may be able to provide assistance

* if you live in or commute through an area that is likely to be targeted, contact your lecturers and your faculty to find out whether remote study is possible; if you work in care or as part of the NHS, find out if it is possible to change shifts.

* If it would provide peace of mind, prepare a go-bag as listed above

* Reach out to your the uni society or student’s organisation for international students or students of specific ethnic origin; they may be able to provide you with direction to resources and peer support. If your university has a Marxist or Socialist society, reach out to them for mutual aid with a travel buddy etc., for getting to and from your place of study/work

* If you are a member of a gurdwara/temple, mosque, synagogue or church, reach out to your religious leaders. They may be able to provide direct support, or put you in contact with organisations or other congregants who can help.

* If you are friendly with your neighbours, it may be worth contacting them too for assistance with travel to & from work.

* Report any racism or racialised violence you are subjected to. NHS staff have a right to refuse to treat patients who harass, abuse, threaten or insult them; if a patient is racist to you, where possible, ask another member of staff to take over their care.

PERSONAL SAFETY:

* do not leave your home unless strictly necessary. If it is necessary to leave, don’t do it alone.

* use NextDoor, WhatsApp, social media and word of mouth to avoid commuting through “protestor” road blocks, areas of active conflict etc.,

* When travelling, use Share My Location or Life360, and keep at least two people aware of your expected time of arrival at your destination with instructions to contact the police if you do not let them know you’ve made it safely

* do not directly confront any individuals involved, or allow them to bait you into becoming confrontational

* only record if it is safe. Do not record individuals directly/from up close

* Do not directly intervene. If you see violence occurring, contact emergency services and if safe to do so, record what’s happening.

ALLYSHIP & HOW TO HELP:

* if you have neighbours, friends, coworkers or acquaintances form targeted communities, reach out to them. Ask them what you can do to help them feel safe.

* If you live in an area likely to be targeted, reach out to any vulnerable people you know. If safe and possible, offer to let them shelter with you in the event they need to leave home

* If you see any incitement to violence online screenshot it; it may prove useful in the event of individual “protesters” being prosecuted

* If you see any specific areas being discussed as targets, alert anyone you know at risk in the area

* Reach out to local refugee & asylum seekers’ organisations, to organisations supporting foreign national care & healthcare workers, and to churches, mosques, gurdwaras; they may be looking for short term assistance in helping to provide for vulnerable members of their community

CHARITABLE ORGANISATIONS FOR ASSISTANCE & TO SUPPORT:

* NASC Ireland; refugee & asylum seeker charity

* Doras.org; migrant, stateless persons, refugee and asylum seeker rights advocates

* Jesuit Refugee Service; religious refugee & asylum seekers charity

* Irish Refugee Council; supporting stateless displaced persons & refugees in NI & ROI

* International Student’s House (IE & UK WIDE): provides hardship funding and help to international students

Hey Perro Sanxe, Israel has kidnapped our citizens in international waters, tortured them, and now it's trying to smear us internationally¹. Isn't it time to recall or ambassador, expel theirs, and cut relations with a genocidal regime?

¹ that's not the Spanish police, that's the autonomous vasque police, who has no ties with the central government but with the autonomous Vasque government (which right now is under the main Vasque right wing party, who is historically pretty close with Israel)

ok it has started to like really bother me how many ace attorney fans will go "why does maya not simply just channel [insert dead character here]" because its SUCH a major part of her characterization that channeling spirits is fucking DIFFICULT and maya spends a lot of time struggling to improve on it and feeling self conscious that it doesnt come to her easily!! up until the final case of t&t the Only spirit shes been successfully able to channel is Her Sister, who she struggles to channel on a consistent basis, and the second spirit was Also a relative. and channeling that one put her life in danger. its just straight up Baffling how many people will play these games and then with their whole chest say "why doesnt maya simply do the thing she has a big internal conflict about being unable to do" like what are we even doing here

Studying!

[intel-merchants-headquarters]

Break Time!

[intel-merchants-headquarters]

Meet the main cast!

Before anything else, I want to make you a bit familiar with the main characters of "Blissful Ignorance".

Which one of them do you like the most?

-

Name: Lenny Lee King

Age before The End: 20

Past occupation: Fast food employee (unemployed)

Weapon: Handgun

The great King Leonhardt the Unstoppable, ruler of King´s Valley, first of his name, courageous hero of the people, guardian of the weak, savior of those in need, prophesized man of legends… or just Lenny.

He used to be a lonely loser stumbling from failure to failure while trying to make an impact in the world.

After The End, he hid in a secluded area where he was safe from the dangers of the New World but was slowly losing his mind.

Jason took him in as a scribe and trainee, but so far he´s been more of a liability with an ever-growing mountain of debt than any actual help…

-

Name: Jason Puck

Age before The End: 21

Past occupation: Student of biology/Teacher trainee

Weapon: Prosthetic Hand

The no-nonsense leader of the Intel Merchants.

After getting separated from his companions during an attack, he traveled the New World with his dog Karuso on the hunt for information on their whereabouts before he decided he couldn´t do all of it alone.

He knows a ton of people through his work but tends to keep most of his relationships on a professional level.

Phinex and him have been a couple since high school.

-

Name: Phinex Bernstein

Age before The End: 20

Past occupation: Student of Medicine

Weapon: Throwing Needles

Always optimistic and energetic, Phinex tries to brighten up any mood and see the positive in any situation, even if it might be uncalled for.

Following the trails of the Intel Merchants, he eventually manages to find and reunite with Jason completely on his own.

Now he mostly acts as Jason´s morality compass and the group´s designated Medic, despite having no actual Medic abilities and having to rely on his past studies.

He was very close to his brother, who is still missing.

-

Name: Artie

Age before The End: ???

Past occupation: unemployed

Weapon: Kellie (his bag)

A strange guy who lived in a cave near Tarret with his only companion, Kellie, his bag, that he talks to as if it were sentient.

Because he was homeless before The End, he isn´t bothered by most of the changes and even considers some of them an improvement to The Old World.

After saving Jason from a group of kidnappers, he swore to protect him and doesn´t leave his side.

He´s addicted to Bliss.

Life outside seems easier than the 'prison life' we endure in Gaza. I try to imagine other places where life is difficult, but I realize that even the harshest environments are open; at least there is a way out. Gaza is a closed prison. A rocket could kill you at any moment, food and water are rationed, and the heaviest burden is being besieged by memories, destruction, and graves. It is a constant cycle of physical and psychological torment.

Prices in Gaza have started to rise unusually, and goods have almost disappeared from the markets. Types of vegetables are scarce and expensive, and meats have vanished from the markets too. I mean, what's happening is the beginning of a new famine; food is expensive and scarce in the markets!
