The notes are broken. This is what tumblr is all about apparently.
Art by Robbie Aldis
Are you just tired of these kinds of posts coming from G@za strip that ask you not to skip and to read the whole post, interact with it, and help in sharing/ reblogging it? Well, maybe you are right, but guess what? We are also tired of living in this reality for a whole 11 months.💔
And you know what? You have no idea how mentally and emotionally trying this is. Asking for help isn't easy at all, but when I think that the price will be staying alive, getting our basic needs and rebuilding our lives, it pushes me more and more to do this until we reach our goal.
This is Ola, the older sister who is trying to help her family. For 11 months until now, we have been struggling to get proper food after prices increased by 15 to 20 times, struggling to have clean water for use and drinking and now we're out of them all. We are trying to survive under starvation, thirst, and poverty. So please, if you can give help to our campaign, don't hesitate.
Every simple thing makes a difference in changing the situation we are in. You can help us either by giving direct help to our campaign or simply by reblogging this post. We would be very thankful if you could share our campaign with families and friends. It really helps reach the people who can directly assist us in reaching our goal faster.
My campaign has been vetted by @90-ghost , @northgazaupdates , @el-shab-hussein , and @nabulsi 's vetted list, line 205.
Thank you very much for standing by us ❤.

Crazy how, time and time again, fundraising posts get the least amount of notes. A random errant thought I had during the day will, on average, accumulate more notes than a fundraiser that I actually push for engagement. Why is that? Are other human lives not worth a millisecond of your effort? Are they not even worth your spare change? What makes my humanity (or yours) more compelling than theirs?

I made these for my friends, but I thought that might be helpful for yall as well! hehe! Now whenever someone asks for storyboard tips I can throw this at them!
Examples of storyboards I made for fun:
Hello everyone
🇵🇸🍉❤️🤍💚🖤🍉🇵🇸From the bottom of my heart, thank you!🙌🏼❤️
With your precious support and big hearts, we were able to reach $1,000. Every dollar of this money means a lot to us, it helps us meet our basic needs and gives us a glimmer of hope in these difficult times.🥺
My second goal is to reach $5,000. We are still suffering from the effects of war and the loss of everything, as well as from the lack of capabilities and high prices. This amount is not just a number, but a real opportunity to rebuild our lives and put a smile back on my parents' faces.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for standing by us. Together, we can get through this and build a better future for my family.🙌🏼❤️
Every contribution, no matter how small, is a ray of hope that lights our way. We believe that with you, we can achieve this dream, step by step.❤️💚🤍🖤
!! this is a verified fundraiser, please share and donate if you can
A small comic about Palestine I created to appeal to more passive family and friends
Anyways if you have the money I urge you to donate to Ibraheem Hadi, a Palestinian who contacted me and whom I promised to highlight in relation to this comic:
Otherwise there is always a need for eSims to keep Gazans connected
Hey so it's come to my attention that the Creators of Disco Elysium want you to share the game and not give the company who took over and fired them (illegally)?) any profits off of their ideas and work, and I originally joined tumblr 2 weeks ago when that post was going around about the Steam sale and how you should [Skull and Crossbones flag] it instead.
So.
in light of that.
Check the replies/notes of this post :)
I was informed that posts containing links in them aren't findable in the search so i'll just.... drop a link in a seperate reboot :)
first things first though, copy this key:

HEY IF YOU ARE READING THIS DO ME A FAVOR
go into another room and pick up a random object and look at it!!
like really look at it!!!
SOMEONE designed that!!
a real life living person set time aside to design that
you will probably never know their name but you should thank them and all the other designers who make the mundane things in your life because otherwise life would be boring with out them
DONATIONS A LIFE TO US 😭 🙏

A Plea for Help from Gaza: A Family Seeking Safety
Hello, I am Samar Shamiya, married to Hashem Al-Shawish (@hashemsh92) . I have a child born in the war, his name is Omar. He is 6 months old.
We live in the midst of the ongoing hellish war in Gaza, trapped between walls of fear and despair.
We struggle daily to survive in an environment filled with threats and dangers.
We are originally from the north of the Gaza Strip, but at the beginning of the war we were displaced several times without anything. Our house was completely destroyed and we are now homeless.
We urgently appeal for your moral and financial assistance to cover the necessary costs for escaping to a safe environment, where we can build a better future for our children and ensure our family's safety.
We are in desperate need of your support. Any donation, no matter how small, can help save our lives. Thank you for your attention and support during these harsh times.

Fundraiser is vetted, I urge those reading this to please help this family out
The time has finally come for me to actually release these cards out into the wild! All 54 of them, including two jokers, and also a design of the back of the cards too! And you can have it all for the low, low price of FREE (I am not taking money whatsoever on this, do not give me it), and yes, the cards are sized to be printed out as actual cards.
This endeavour took about a month of non-stop working on it (though I had the idea before and was in a slump at the beginning of this), so I hope you guys enjoy it! It was super fun considering I've never done cards before, and an experience to make FIFTY FOUR CARDS.

Journalist Ismail Al-Ghoul was targeted while doing his job. He was wearing a shield with the word “Press” written on it and a helmet. There is no international body that protects this profession. The profession of journalists has become a profession of death. For your information, my husband Mohammed is also a journalist and I am afraid for him. Please help us reach the target and save my family.

Donate to restore the lives of the Baalousha family
Hello my dears, I hope you are well. Please help me
I, Mahmoud Baalousha, have lived through five wars in my life, and in the 2006 war, the biggest shock in my life was the loss of my older brother, Muhammad...
I will tell you a little about my life
I had ambition and a bright future. I loved life and living in stability and security, and I loved working hard in my future...
I had a few days to go and I was about to start a new life and look for a suitable woman to marry.
I had achieved some things that I had dreamed of since October 7, which was buying a house, but the war destroyed my dreams and ambitions.
I had a nice exhibition related to children's and women's shoe sales
The exhibition was destroyed by incendiary shells fired by the occupation
I had accumulated debts and obligations to the merchants, and the fair was full of goods ..
And my father also had this happen to him in his exhibition
This destruction has caused us to lose our sources of livelihood and the livelihood of the workers who work in both exhibitions ..
* The war took everything from me
I lost my pets in our house
All I hope for now is to reunite my family in Egypt and save them from the disastrous situation in which they are living ..
Directed by my father, mother, and sister, who is studying engineering at Al-Azhar University ...
Knowing that the cost per person now is $5,000 per adult. Price may fluctuate. I ask you to help us by donating even the simplest things or by participating in our campaign. We will be grateful to you
Your donation may give us hope to achieve what we aspired to, and restore a little of the loss and devastation that befell us. ..
Thank you for listening to my humble message
hey these are some tips for some of the little details in drawing fat folks that some people might not know!
everyone has fat on their bodies so its a worthwhile skill to have, but most art tutorials leave it out. heres some other good tips from artists!!
Greetings, friends. This isn't for me, it's for my friend @tyladoesthings who I met at my local tech school in-person. We both really wish this wasn't necessary, but things have gotten- difficult.
In short, she has been saving and raising money to move out of her family's house, getting to a safe space in a different state after she had a near un-closeting scare back in April. Yesterday, however, she got into a car accident. She's okay physically, but all of those savings are going towards repairs. Her original plan was to get out of there in about 2 weeks, but now that plan is in jeopardy.
Here is a doc of a letter going into more detail about her situation [embedded link, not updated w/ recent info] and you can help support her [in any small way, anything is super helpful] down here:
It also gives more recent info on the state of things. If you can't help out, we'd be super grateful if this was spread around by reblogging. I'm worried for the safety of my friend, especially with her asking me to make this post here because it feels safer for her than on her own blog. She's too kind of a soul to have all of this thrown at her... Please help bring my friend to safety.
just send a screenshot of the proof to my inbox and I'll cross-check that w/ my friend Tyla [please keep requests SFW]
Here’s a link to a petition to protect Native American land in NC from a gas station chain which poses immense environmental threats, has violated workers rights, and will destroy land with historical significance to natives. My ancestors traveled the trading path they plan to build over. Please sign if you have a moment
With things starting to get a bit wild (/negative) where I live, uh I would appreciate any donations anyone can spare. For anyone who knows me IRL, I'm safe and fine right now but the future is uncertain. I have a ko-fi, and you can send in writing/art requests, and I might finally sit down and do a commission sheet, like I've been meaning to do for literally years. Thanks yall.
Sometimes self-care is, actually, NOT getting onto the computer and little treats and watching youtube videos. Sometimes those things are self-care, but sometimes they're also avoidant behaviors.
Sometimes self care is waking up and just. Fucking getting in the car. And driving to the bank. And the store. And buying the cat litter. And changing the cat boxes you've been avoiding because your brains been stuck in a hole. And picking up the trash you've been piling up. And getting a load into the wash. And mowing the lawn before the village council sends you a formal complaint and potential-fines warning.
Like its hard and annoying to do because it sucks. It sucks so much. But if I don't start working on this pile of bullshit I've let build up because it stinks and i was stuck in deer-in-headlights mode, I risk letting it turn into fuckery. I do not have the patience for fuckery that I once - foolishly! - thought I had.
Buttons $3 CAD / Toque $35 CAD / Patch $15 CAD
I am going to markets in summer to sell my artwork - but also 4 other confirmed artists' artwork at pride festivals. I'm building a queer artist collective and we want to bring queer-created pride merchandise to local markets. We want to directly benefit our local community. I want to provide pride merchandise where the profit goes towards other queer people.
The other artists' work isn't up on our site yet but it will be available at the markets.
Buttons $3 CAD / Holo sticker $7 CAD
Why:
-I got a microloan for this, but last second my guy had to halve the loan amount. He said he could cover my transport + the requested amount to cover all expenses, but then he had to change it to just the requested amount, last second. I accept the help that was given and am thankful for that. He had other businesses that also needed help.
-My employer ghosted me - long story short. I showed up to work multiple times to find the business closed without any communication whatsoever. BUT they are also a queer small business owner. I will not be seeking anything from them, nor will I go into any more detail about where I was working. Yes it sucks for me and yes it sucks for everyone else affected, but infighting is not worth it, and I want them to do well.
Boot patches $25 CAD / Stickers $5 CAD / OG paintings $500 CAD
What is the money going towards?
Gas money. Food money. One more table for the market, button making supplies, trans boot stickers restock. Emergency cash.

We have 3 events lined up and we're signing up for more.
I will update with progress as we go
FOOD
Find your nearest food bank or mission, for food
grocery stores with free samples, bakeries + stores with day-old bread
different fast food outlets have cheaper food and will generally let you hang out for a while.
some dollar stores carry food like cans of beans or fruit
SHELTER
Sleeping at beaches during the day is a good way to avoid suspicion and harassment
sleep with your bag strapped to you, so someone can’t steal it
Some churches offer short term residence
Find your nearest homeless shelter
Look for places that are open to the public
A large dumpster near a wall can often be moved so that flipping up the lids creates an angled shelter to stay dry
HYGIENE
A membership to the YMCA is usually only 10$, which has a shower, and sometimes laundry machines and lockers.
Public libraries have bathrooms you can use
Dollar stores carry low-end soaps and deodorant etc.
Wet wipes are all purpose and a life saver
Local beaches, go for a quick swim
Some truck stops have showers you can pay for
Staying clean is the best way to prevent disease, and potentially get a job to get back on your feet
Pack 7 pairs of socks/undies, 2 outfits, and one hooded rain jacket
OTHER
first aid kit
sunscreen
a travel alarm clock or watch
mylar emergency blanket
a backpack is a must
downgrade your cellphone to a pay as you go with top-up cards
sleeping bag
travel kit of toothbrush, hair brush/comb, mirror
swiss army knife
can opener
The health disaster is due to the lack of health in the country due to
The harsh conditions that Gaza is going through and the spread of diseases
The skin infection invaded Joseph's face and body
The pimples that appear on his face invade all parts of his body
Also, his sister Sham suffers from the same thing because the disease is contagious
After losing all necessities of life, the loss of the health system also causes illness in our children
Help Youssef and his family live a decent life and improve treatment and life arrangements
