If you make at least a $5 minimum donation to a LEGIT Gazan family (or a legit family from Sudan, Congo, Ukraine, etc any other people facing genocide,) any in need of help and show proof of it through messaging on tumblr (Please do your research and make sure they are real) I'll draw your OC or a character you want, just nothing NSFW or bigoted. Add 5 more dollars I'll color and shade, add another 5 I'll add a background you want.

If you want more than one character together thats completely fine, but it’ll be another $5 for them. We can also discuss things over messaging as well.

I WILL NOT DM YOU, YOU MUST MESSAGE ME FIRST. I WILL JUST ASSUME YOU ARE A BOT IF YOU ASK ME TO DM FIRST.

Unfortunately, I am fading 💔

The unbearable conditions we are living through in Gaza are slowly breaking me, and I have no strength left.

At the same time, my father is in critical condition and needs daily medication that we can no longer afford. Every day without treatment puts his life at serious risk.

We are living through something beyond our ability to endure.

If you’re reading this, please don’t scroll away. Your help could save my father’s life.

Please support us and share our story 🙏💔

📌 Fundraiser vetted (#167 by el-shab-hussein & nabulsi), But we created a new GoFundMe page because GoFundMe suspended the beneficiary’s account on the platform, which put us in a very difficult situation.

one of my favorite gifs ever ever ever

While Skateboarding isn't a common hobby or career path for most finches, this is just one small look into Jibby Finchy P Java Finch the most successful finch skater that has ever skote. While he makes it look easy, some Finches have completely fallen and eaten total shit while trying to skate- but as always, Jibby makes it look easy. Just a hop tweet and a skate away, he still remains a powerful example of awesome finches

My name is Qusai, I was born in Gaza and I am 16 years old. The war came and I was in the third preparation and I could not complete my studies. I had a house and a place to live in, but unfortunately it has been completely destroyed and our area is subjected to constant warnings and displacement of the population. I do not have any source of income. My father is unemployed after we had a bird shop where we rely on a source of income, but it is destroyed because of the war and we can hardly buy expensive food and because of famine and lack of money, we cannot manage ourselves with our simplest daily needs, so I hope you stand by my family and help make our lives better and make sure that no matter how much it is, no matter what it makes us happy and helps us make our lives better

Help Qusai Rebuild His Life

My name is Qusai, I was born in Gaza and I am 16 years old. The war came and I was in the third preparation and I could not complete my stud

I also suffer from low blood pressure, and it affects me severely. I often experience sudden dizziness, and my health is not good. I need a lot of support to cover my basic and essential needs, including food, clean water, medication, and other daily necessities. Every donation, no matter how small, helps me survive and care for myself and my family. I hope you stand by my family and no matter how much it is, no matter what it makes us happy and helps us make our lives better.

Please donate as much as you can so that help my family even a small amount and tell people about my suffering

As we begin a new year

🎆We in Gaza don't ask for grand wishes…We simply wish for warmth, safety, and a meal to feed our children.

If you're celebrating tonight, remember a family spending New Year's Eve in a tent, facing cold and hunger.

Your donation, or even just sharing, will help.

On July 5, 1852, Frederick Douglass was invited to address the citizens of his hometown, Rochester, New York. Whatever the expectations of h

yearly required reading

[confusedgoldenflower]

Alt text, excerpt:

What, to the American slave, is your Fourth of July? I answer: a day that reveals to him, more than all other days in the year, the gross injustice and cruelly to which he is the constant victim. To him, your celebration is a sham; your boasted liberty, an unholy license; your national greatness, swelling vanity; your sounds of rejoicing are empty and heartless; your denunciations of tyrants, brass fronted impudence; your shouts of liberty and equality, hollow mockery; your prayers and hymns, your sermons and thanksgivings, with all your religious parade, and solemnity, are, to him, mere bombast, fraud, deception, impiety, and hypocrisy—a thin veil to cover up crimes which would disgrace a nation of savages. There is not a nation on the earth guilty of practices, more shocking and bloody, than are the people of these United States, at this very hour.

genuinely i don’t give a shit about fourth of july anymore i don’t even celebrate it despite being american.

this july i’ve been mostly keeping gazan families in mind as it’s hard for me to continue supporting my country when my tax dollars go to keeping the people of gaza under siege.

gazans still need your help, gazans are starving and they need your donations more than ever.

if you resonated with this post, please consider donating to one of my friends @nourashour1 . i have known nour for several months now and i trust her integrity. she has a young disabled son who is especially in need of critical care under gaza’s siege. you can find more info about her family’s story here.

The New American Gothic (2017) by Criselda Vasquez

[imall4frogs]

The story behind this painting:

Hi everyone,

Thank you for taking the time to read this. On Tuesday, March 31, our father was detained and taken by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). We are launching this GoFundMe campaign to help with legal fees and cover basic living expenses for our family during this difficult time. Some of you may have seen my painting, “The New American Gothic,” and are aware that my parents are the subjects. My father has lived in the United States for over 30 years and has always provided for our family. He is a devoted husband, father, and grandfather, and the hardest working person I know. He has spent all of his adulthood building a life for himself and his family, working tirelessly to ensure that his children would have a good life as American citizens.

We are equal parts devastated and terrified. If possible, please consider supporting our family’s efforts to cover fees related to his case, and the day-to-day expenses that his wages would normally have covered. Any amount, or even sharing this message, means more to us than words can express.

Thank you,

The Vasquez family (Donate here)

Today I’m thinking about Black families whose ancestors built this country. Indigenous communities who were here before it. Immigrants who crossed oceans and borders believing in its promise. And everyone still waiting to feel safe, seen, and free.
