Hihi! In celebration of hitting 200 followers on Cara, I'm doing an art raffle!
I'm fairly active here as well, so I wanted to share it:) If you like the sound of free art, head over to Cara & do the following to enter the raffle! If you don’t have an account already; it’s quick & only takes a few minutes.
Everyone that joins will be added to a wheel that is spun when the waiting period ends, with three chosen. Deadline is April 10th- hope to see you there!
My name is Ayaa from Gaza city, I am a children’s teacher, 24 years old, living with my parents and siblings. We all used to live a peacefu
I hope you are doing well. It has been more than two years since the genocide, as you know. I once had a previous donation link, but GoFundMe deleted it.
Now is the time we need your support the most. The war may have ended, but the tragedy has not. Prices are still very high, and winter is approaching. There are many difficulties and risks — such as the worn-out tents and other hardships.
We are all in need of your help and support.
If you cannot donate, please write posts about me and talk about my story. I have become part of this community and have lost many friends due to account closures. I also face a lot of criticism for using translation tools or accusations of being a scammer.Iwant to draw attention to the fact that English is not my first language, and I always need help to communicate better with you.
In fact, our tents are worn out and not ready for the winter, as we were bombed three times during the ongoing war. I’ve attached below several photos showing the shrapnel that fell on us and caused the tents to tear apart.
Right now, I need your support — at least to provide tents for the winter so that we don’t face difficulties when it rains.
I am writing to you with a heart crushed by endless tears, from a hospital bed where fear and pain surround me. Every moment feels heavier than the last, and I am desperate for help to save myself and my children
My name is Suhaila, a mother of four children.
I am writing these words from inside the hospital, with a heart full of fear and pain.
My health is very critical. My iron level is 6,
and my little daughter Miral’s iron level is 5.
I urgently need donations to buy the medicine and save our lives
My husband is injured and unable to work. We have no income and no protection.
Our family lives in a torn tent, exposed to cold, hunger, and fear every day.
My health is very critical. My iron level is 6,
and my little daughter Miral’s iron level is 5.
She is so weak… her small body is fading, and I cannot afford the medicine or the food she needs to survive.
Right now, my daughter and I are in the hospital, waiting helplessly.
My other children are alone in the tent, hungry and scared.
We are not asking for luxury.
We are asking for treatment to stay alive
and food so my children do not die.
Please, do not let my children lose their mother,
and do not let me lose my daughter in front of my eyes.
Help us. Save us. We are slowly dying. 😭💔🙏

Got the urge to draw, so here’s all members of Class 1C mentioned in @swordfightinggoose’s MHA isekai fic! None of them are… particularly relevant, at the moment, but thinking about the crested gecko of man that is Takahashi made me want to design them:)
I pleaded and begged for help repeatedly, but I received only silence. My child is growing weaker every day due to anemia and malnutrition. If my child is taken from me… will you remember that I was pleading here to save him?
My child is currently suffering from a severe cough and cannot sleep due to extreme fatigue. I am very worried about his condition and am urgently searching for a treatment to relieve him. Please help me now, as his condition is causing me great pain and I hope he will get better as soon as possible.
it's kinda funny that baek doksoo introduces aliens into a creepypasta themed story and that's not even a b plot, they're just there. like yeah, here are the skin-eating clowns, dragon deities, creepy theme parks and soleum's alien superior lee jaheon. don't worry about him.
Please help my daughter's sweetheart alleviate her suffering.
Because of the tent life and the spread of infectious diseases and many epidemics, she deserves a better life like other children; she has the right to play and study.
We cannot afford to buy medicine due to our difficult living conditions. Please save my daughter; every donation makes a difference in Habiba's life.
Help Aya’s Family in Gaza
Hello. I am Halina, a friend of Aya in the United Sta… Halina Kraft needs your support for Shelter and Hop
Actually this is an obvious question but it’s not what you might think. Let me explain it to you, I’ve been an opiate addict for a long time and tried many drugs. Drugs that are ‘uppers’ have the most ‘obvious’ euphoria. For example if you take adderall/coke/meth/speed/MDMA you will get this shining bright euphoria, self confidence, energy, and other drug-specific feelings (for meth like you are king or for MDMA like you love everyone). However, you owe these drugs back what they delivered to you. After a meth binge, or lots of MDMA use, or staying up all night on coke you will feel like shit. To an extent this aspect is similar to an alcoholic hangover.
On the other hand, for many people who experiment with heroin they are underwhelmed (not including IV usage, but most experimenters rarely ever IV first time). They just feel good, chill, happy, but they feel like this spooky drug ‘heroin’ hasn’t delivered. They are just mellow. Oh obviously it has all been a lie they will think. Heroin isn’t spooky, it’s chill. It’s not addictive like everyone else thinks. It doesn’t make you do stupid shit or stay up all day and hallucinate like amphetamines or coke. It doesn’t empty your serotonin like MDMA or give you a hangover like alcohol. People tend to just think oh, what a nice drug.
So the next day they wake up and everything is normal. No headache or shitty feeling–just a slight afterglow of that nice feeling. Oh it was cheap as well! It only cost $10 for a whole night of being high! I thought people said heroin was expensive? And then next weekend comes… There are all these drugs I could do but I liked heroin. It didn’t fuck me up,‘I could still think clearly. No hangover. No feeling like shit later. I still was awake. It just made me happy and content with life. Oh and it’s only $10! Well, I should get some more for the whole weekend. This is great! I will use Heroin on the weekends now!
Now let’s say this person works and has responsibilities. He knows he can’t go into work drunk, or on MDMA, or high. So he doesn’t. It’s actually simple. But heroin… Well the user might actually find they do better work on heroin. Instead of being sad or grumpy or depressed with his job… he is just… happy. Mellow. Content. Everything is fine and the world is beautiful. It’s raining, it’s dark, I woke up at 5:30AM, I’m commuting in traffic. I would have had a headache, I would have been miserable, I would have wondered how my life took me to this point. This point I’m at right now. But no, no, everything is fine. Life is beautiful. The rain drops are just falling and in each one I see the reflection of every persons life around me. Humanity is beautiful. In this still frame shot of traffic on this crowded bus I just found love and peace. Heroin is a wonder drug. Heroin is better than everything else. Heroin makes me who I wish I was. Heroin makes life worth living. Heroin is better than everything else. Heroin builds up a tolerance fast. Heroin starts to cost more money. I need heroin to feel normal. I don’t love anymore. Now I’m sick. I can’t afford the heroin that I need. How did $10 used to get me high? Now I need $100. That guy that let me try a few lines the first time doesn’t actually deal. Oh I need to find a real dealer? This guy is a felon and carries a gun–he can sell me the drug that lets me find love in the world. No this isn’t working, I need to quit.
To answer your question, heroin feels nice. That’s all, it just feels very nice. You can make the rest up for yourself. Attach your own half-truths to this drug that will show you the world and for a moment you will feel as clever as Faust.
Edit: Thank you for the kind words. I received help and I’m doing well now. Luckily I was able to pull up and get help right before I entered the deadly downward spiral. Some of my friends have not done as well. Sorry to steal the limelight from OP
A reply to this from Ifuxdalion
Reading that was more haunting than any anti-drug campaign that I’ve been exposed to. Thanks. A lot.
End of reddit post.
The third image are tags on tumblr. They read #anti-drug campaigns should be run by recovering addicts #cause like #how are you gonna talk honestly about how a drug affects your life if youve never done it #how can you really communicate what it does to your life if you ignore the reasons people do drugs in the first place? #i dont think anyone’s gonna believe you when you say a drug is bad if you never acknowledge the way the drug makes you feel good #tags
The thing that kills me about this, is that it frankly discusses the general misery and malaise that we put up with in our regular sober lives, and it says straight up that the drug makes it BEARABLE. This is the clearest and most straightforward description of “drug addiction is not a failure of personal strength and character, it is an attempt to medicate and make survivable the horrifying sociocultural conditions that we are being forced to accept as the normal cost of living.” It’s the Rat Park drug addiction hypothesis demonstrated in humanity.
Hello! I'm an author on Ao3, under the name of swordfightinggoose, and I wanted to briefly introduce myself and what I do.
My primary focus right now is my MHA isekai fanfic called "Isekai My Ass," focused on a high school boy as he traverses the slowly changing world of My Hero.
I also have a second work, an ongoing collection of poetry on various topics, but it isn't a focus and more so serves as storage.
Eventually, I plan on posting my passion project "Gated Harvest" as a full web novel starting on Ao3 and branching off to other platforms, but that's very much a long term goal and won't be for a while. As of now, I plan for there to be no paid chapters, and instead relying on small donations to help support my writing- potentially bonus side chapters and AU content as an incentive/a thank you for supporting me! I aim for chapters to be posted on Ao3, Webnovel, Tapas, etc.
That's all for now! I work full time so my schedule will be irregular, but IMA's entire plot is outlined- it's just a matter of finding time to write. If you'd like to see more from me, you can find me under the same name on Bsky and as @pastryinvasion everywhere for art of IMA's MC Ryker!
I'm writing this with tears in my eyes. I can't bear this situation anymore. My brother suffers from bipolar disorder and his condition is extremely critical; he has anemia and malnutrition.
Every moment that passes feels terrifying for us. Watching my brother struggle like this is beyond painful, and I feel helpless standing by without the means to get him the treatment he urgently needs.
Today, my brother Samer had to be admitted to the hospital because we couldn’t find the treatment he needs for free, and its cost is far beyond what our family can afford.
It breaks my heart to see him in pain while we struggle to provide his treatment. 😭
Please, if you can, donate and if you can’t, please share. You could give my brother a chance to recover. 🙏
