as the economy in iran is rapidly collapsing under the weight of amerisraeli war, worsening sanctions, and indefinite internet blackout, queer and trans friends of mine are facing increasingly dire economic conditions. some friends and I are trying to raise funds to keep them afloat, particularly trans women facing acute housing insecurity

if you are able to spare anything at all, it would go a really long way. inflation and currency exchange is so bad that $50 could pay someone’s rent in tehran for an entire month, so every little bit counts

please write ‘donation’, and please don’t put any country or city names in the description 🙏 we are endlessly grateful for your generosity, it truly saves lives

big problem on here is a lot of people seem to think just being transgender makes you a sensible political theorist

accidentally got my lake pigment plans mixed up in my head (nettle alcohol extraction meant for normal laking + nettle water extraction meant for an opaque pigment laked with eggshell white)

but it ended up being a happy accident because the pigment i actually ended up making — nettle (alcohol/tincture) laked with the eggshell white — has such a beautiful soft sage colour
