Ok. It feels callous... actually everything feels callous. Feeling hungry feels callous. But I need to pull together the other $600 for my mom's cremation today. I have a meeting with the funeral director tomorrow. I also have a landlord that keeps acting like my mother is dying/died is a "my dog ate my homework" level excuse for being unable to pay rent on time. I still owe $3500 and my mom's SSI won't be able to help with rent or food because it's not coming. I'm halfway through the month so I should try to get next month together as well so I can approximate something akin to Shiva when her ashes return in about 2 weeks. I ultimately if I'm going to keep being an artist, I will need money to buy a new scanner and computer and paint brushes. Amazon never did deliver the wishlist gifts. Oh and food. I'm going to need food.

I shut down Etsy because it's awful but I can still sell and ship paintings.

While donations are appreciated, I'm really only asking that followers whom are able buy some art. Prices begin at $65 for a 5"x 7" piece on paper, including shipping all the way up to $2700 for a wired and ready to hang 30"x 40" wood panel.

The kind words and financial support from my community on Tumblr is all I really have. My family is gone now that my mom is gone. My friendships withered over the years because no one understood what I was going through and they didn't want to be contaminated by my misfortunes and misery.

This sounds like a lot, but it’s true. An estimated 100,000,000 sharks per year are killed, threatening many species with endangerment or extinction.

Scary predators are important to the ecosystem, too. Conservation’s not just about the panda bears.

Don't forget about the Palestinians.

Don't forget about them now.

Don't forget about them tomorrow.

Don't forget about them in a week from now.

Don't forget about them in a month.

Don't forget them next year.

Don't forget them in 5 years.

When the history books start to update, don't let them put lies in there.

When documentaries come out, boycott the ones who call this a victory for Israel.

When books release talking about soldier's personal experiences with Palestine, remember the victims. Remember the truth.

Don't forget about what we've seen.

Don't forget about what we've heard.

Don't let them tell lies about Palestine.

Don't forget about the Palestinians when the world tries to make this go away.

So I found Aaron Bushnell's reddit and went through his comments/posts. That young man was well read and stable as they can be. Nothing in his writings pointed to someone who was "unstable" or "brainwashed".

He held leftist and anarchist ideals. He belong to the ACAB subreddit. He recognized the evil of the US Military even though he himself was a part of it. He hated TERFS and called out fatphobia. He understood the dangers of white supremecy and the evils of capitalism.

He had a cat. He liked the show fleabag and played elden ring.

Apparently in his will he wants to leave any money in his name to palestinian relief funds. He was trying to find a new owner for his cat.

Rest in peace Aaron Bushnell. The world won't forget & we sure as fuck won't let the media paint you out to be some crazy conspiracy theorist who had no idea what he was doing.

This is not a natural disaster. This was not inevitable. They didn't grow up like this. It was inflicted on them by the vilest sadists on earth.

We are witnessing the grotesque reality of the martyred Palestinians and thousands of their massacred children being written off as mere afterthoughts. The way western media outlets steadfastly refuse to call the Israeli aggression and onslaught for what it is, which is genocide and ethnic cleansing, is just another way of dehumanizing Palestinians.

i am not happy with our choices this election. But you should know that the reason he's the first president to "refuse" a cognitive test is because one isn't included in the presidential physical exam in the first place.

There was a petition of doctors who wanted Trump's cognitive function tested during his physical exam, and everybody involved on the republican side said no, and then Trump himself actually insisted he did take one in a fit of ego. He was, as far as i can tell, the first president to ever take one while in office.

At his request for the cognitive testing, Trump's doctor administered the Montreal Cognitive Assessment which is like 5 questions and has not been proven to be an accurate test of much at all. It's a lot like when you hit your head and they ask you the date and your name and stuff -- answering correctly in no way means you don't have a head injury or concussion or whatever, it's just a couple of first step questions. Then Trump said a lot of lies and bullshit about his "cognitive test"

Now republicans and right leaning publications are spreading shit like this. Biden didn't "refuse" a cognitive test, his aides confirmed that, as usual, a cognitive test is not included during the president's doctor visit.

again, i think our choices are shit this election, i don't like how old Biden is, and i think the way our first-past-the-poll voting system automatically results in an extremist two party system fronting candidates that the majority of the country doesn't like is some fucked up bullshit

but our house is on fire and one candidate is a bucket of water that won't help much and the other is a bucket of gasoline, and, y'know, angry as i am about it all i am still going to vote for the bucket of water while we look for other solutions

Don't let them trick you into letting gasoline get thrown on this fire please

At this point I’m not even posting this for politics reasons, I’m posting it because my GOD you gullible bitches need to learn how extremely basic propaganda works. Jesus christ.

Hi all

If you're unfamiliar, Lama is a 9 year old Gazan girl who is also known as Gaza's youngest journalist. She dreams of becoming a journalist as an adult and telling the world the truth about her people. Al Jazeera has featured her regularly in their news coverage on Palestine. Here she is in a Press Vest far too big for her. A role far too big for her.

https://youtu.be/FQXWVh52-5Y

She and her family evacuated to the south of Gaza.

Israel Occupational Forces have begun bombing the south in earnest. Lama and her family is in danger, and trying to escape. There are high fees required to escape into Egypt, please help out if you can.

Help Lama Relocate From Gaza, organized by Kakudji Umba

My name is Simone Umba and I, as well as several individuals, are fundraising on the behalf… Kakudji Umba needs your support for Help Lama

Y'all remember "cops aren't supposed to kill guilty people, either", right?

Adding to OP:

Palestinian children do not deserve to get kidnapped by the occupation forces and get labeled as "prisoners".

Because my last post about this didn't get much traction, I'll say it in a text post.

There is an upcoming global strike for Palestine. February 18th to the 25th. Talk about Palestine and other injustices, call your representatives and email them, boycott companies and limit spending during the week. Get your grocery shopping in now and only buy essentials during the week, please. Limit interaction on posts other than injustices around the world. If you can, skip work or school, though this is a privilege not everyone has.

Edit: It is 18th-25th not 18th-24th!! If you've already reblogged this, please reblog this version instead, edits don't show on past reblogs

still absolutely cannot wrap my head around how ppl are not condemning the iof and calling for a permanent ceasefire even after the news broke out about hind. she was six years old. trapped inside a bombed car where five of her relatives are martyred. iof tanks laid siege on a six year old girl calling her mom for help. because she was scared and alone and starving. iof waited until the paramedics came to save hind and killed them all. remember hind. remember yousef. remember ahmed. death to israel. ceasefire now.
