I'm sorry to ask for help like this, but things aren't good. Most of my family is working, but we've been barely getting by, and now we're facing an unexpected $1500 vet bill that we cannot afford. I usually take 3D model commissions to help offset bills but I have a backlog and cannot take on any more work currently, I'll be opening as soon as possible. Any help is heavily appreciated. Thank you.

You can donate to my ko-fi or directly to my paypal Currently at $30 of $1500.

im at disbelief at the fact that a lot of folks are simply over palestine. like protests are dwindling down. people are not very interested in news related to gaza. some are simply over it.

israel hasn't let aid in gaza in 70 days. gaza has been starving for 70 days. the condition of people there is horrendous.

i find it distressing to think about children in gaza. how does one continue to have a childhood in a genocide? they don't have school. they don't have safety. they don't have food.

despite all this, the kids will be alright. they'll be alright once the genocide stops and they get back to 'normal'. till then, can we please try to support them however we can?

this fundraiser (verified) helps feed a family which includes two young children. please consider helping their mother take care of them.

If this comic made you smile, please help us!!

We are a family of ten trying to survive in northern Gaza. We have a rent of $700 that we won’t be able to pay without help, and we will be at the mercy of the drones and the tanks if we have to leave, on top of having to leave behind all of our belongings. The only food we have left is a bag of flour infested with maggots, everything at the market has become insanely expensive.

My sister Soso is only four years old, what kind of life is this for her? My mother and I have been sick and thankfully we finally got the help of a doctor, but that means we had to pay for the medicine as well. The little money we have left isn’t enough to buy anything in the north.

Please help, I swear I’ll be thankful for anything. Share at least if you can’t afford to donate.

Single mother and 2 children trapped in IOF line of fire!!

Maha @mahafamily1 is alone with her children in north Gaza after her husband @ahmed-family-1 accompanied his ill father on medical evacuation to Egypt prior to the re-invasion. The IOF has just ordered her area to evacuate, as they plan to invade soon.

Maha’s 7-year-old daughter is disabled, and foot travel for the family is all but impossible. Maha is still weak after nearly dying from sepsis following a tragic miscarriage. She has no way to move herself and her children, and no one around her can help.

The IOF is approaching very, very quickly! The functioning cars nearby are charging $1,500 to transport the family. This is a shockingly high price, but there is nothing to be done about it. Maha and the kids need to evacuate NOW! IF THEY DO NOT EVACUATE, THEY COULD BE KILLED BY THE IOF!!

Please PLEASE share this post and donate what you can! Share the family’s situation and GFM link across all your social media accounts!

New temporary goal: €27,628 EUR

Need to raise: $1,500 USD, about €1,369 EUR

It's hilarious to me how Colossal Biosciences wants to be movie-version John Hammond but are 100% book-version John Hammond. In the Jurassic Park novel, it's very clear: John Hammond is a con artist who gives people an illusion, not the truth. He knew from the beginning that what he was making weren't dinosaurs, but he didn't care because he had a story to sell. He wasn't just "filling in gaps" with the frog dna, his scientists were basically making things up from whole cloth and he had no pretence about it- but he also knew what the public wanted to believe.

Case in point: https://time.com/7274542/colossal-dire-wolf/

The Return of the Dire Wolf

Colossal Biosciences has genetically engineered the first dire wolf to live in over 10,000 years. Here's what that means for other extinct s

These are not dire wolves. These are GMO gray wolves. Dire wolves aren't even in the same genus as gray wolves, and we know this from genetics.

What Colossal is doing is scamming the public. They want you to believe that they can pull off miracles. They can't. It's the flea circus where everything is mechanised, but because you want to believe, you "see" the fleas. They might be good at genetic modification and they might be good at hyping themselves up, but they haven't de-extincted the dire wolf. They didn't activate mammoth genes in a mouse. They are lying to you and they're going to keep doing it. Don't believe the hype.

The Israeli occupation army officially announces the return of war on Gaza and the failure of negotiations 😭

[fadel-dani]

The bombing is very close to us and everywhere, and the number of martyrs is constantly increasing. The occupation army has committed more than 5 massacres since yesterday!!!!😭

[fadel-dani]

Please help me so I can travel outside Gaza to a safe country and undergo my surgery. I was injured at the beginning of the war and I have not been able to receive treatment until now. I do not want to be injured again, please!!!😭

[fadel-dani]

The occupation bombed my neighbors' house and three of their sons were martyred. I cannot bear all this pain and my mind is unable to comprehend all these events. Please, we are in the worst days of our lives. Help me. I do not want to die, please!!!😭

[fadel-dani]

Please, we are dying in front of your eyes please, don't leave us alone!!😭 Save us, do anything... demonstrate, donate, participate. I don't want to die, please!!!😭

[fadel-dani]

Until this moment, the bombing has not stopped for a moment, but rather it is increasing more and more, and things are getting worse. The sounds of the explosions are very loud, and the tent we are sitting in is made of nylon and does not protect us at all. Please donate and help us do anything. !!!😭

[stuckinapril]

I genuinely feel ashamed that all I can do is write words while more and more Arab people die - but momentum for fundraisers is one of very few things any of us can do at the moment

Please donate to the Sameer Project. They are doing amazing work on the ground. Try to do while you can. Sharing and donating as little as 5 dollars can culminate into a big difference. I have enough of a following to know that we can make a truly big difference if this didn’t simply go ignored bc people decided they’re bored now

wip... thinking about him forever. a lot of these are based on karb's concept art of his other emotions heehee. thoughts and design ideas below the cut :)

none of these rules are particularly solid or concrete (his face is abstracted, after all) but i wanted to add some consistency to my interpretation :) -the more symmetrical his face, the more negative the emotion may be. Misery is a special case. -an eye or eye symbol is present in every face. violent has an eye-like mark in the middle of the tongue, resigned... well any of those could be eyes lol -the material of his face is also abstract and not any particular viscosity or state of matter. a little on the fence about the glitch effect on his embarrassed face. -fun fact: his professional face's eye is meant to be a target or the sights of a gun :) i want to do more... but i should also actually draw the rest of his body before i do that lol.
