updated 3/6/2024 with Gaza Wound Care & We Feed Gaza. I wanted to focus on Palestinian-run grassroots initiatives that will actually reach Gazans on the ground, so all of these except eSIMs, PCRF, MAP are by Palestinians. i have verified them but please feel free to do your own vets for your peace of mind.

Remember small donations really do add up. Any amount counts, even $1!

I've been in a bit of an art funk lately, so I decided to do a little redraw of this piece from 2021.

It's once again Witch Hat Monday! I've made so many fanarts over the years that I probably have one to post for every episode lol The manga has endless amazing brim hat designs that inspired me to go crazy with a Van Gogh's Starry Night hat 🌟⭐✨

Something about how Aqua (and Terra) only knowing Ven for four years but fighting for ten years to get him back. How Ephemer probably never stopped thinking of his friends, knowing he'll never meet them again, how Player willingly fought their Foreteller for Ephemer, despite not knowing him for very long at the time. How Saïx and Axel gave up themselves for ten years to find a girl they never knew the true name of. About Sora building connections and knowing even if they're brief, even if he forgets, they still matter to him.....

i just read the metamorphosis and it was fucking devastating. there are so many readings you could take, ive heard people say kafka intended it to be about depression which is something that he struggled with and i heavily fw the trans reading, but personally i primarily read it as being about disability. gregor wakes up one day physically unable to work and his family reacts with not only shock but disgust and horror. it's not even that THEY now have to work where they didn't before; we see at the end of the story that working doesn't really bother them. it's about his presence in their house. now that he's disabled and can't work, they dehumanize him completely, even denying that it's him at all. they act like having to take care of him is this horrible act of sacrifice they're performing - and they don't even actually take care of him, they leave him alone all day no matter how badly he wants company, they don't clean his room and instead let him live in filth (in fact they put their junk in there making it more of a mess), they throw things at him injuring him further, and they don't feed him properly to the point where he dies of malnutrition.

to me the saddest part was when grete said (not verbatim) "if it were truly gregor then he would've known it was impossible for us to live with a thing like that, and left already." bc fuck man. yeah of course gregor just gave up and died after that. how could he go on. his sister used to love him more than anyone else. is it the worst and most selfish thing in the world to want to be cared for by your own family.
