I was feeling agitated and artblocked yesterday so I decided to give my brain a rest by watching TV and then the next thing I knew these were in front of me
a video call for help from @haya-orouq19 who is in gaza
[Transcript: Please don't scroll if you want to help a family in Gaza. Hey everyone, this is Haya Orouq, I am 18 years old from Gaza City. Today is the 167th day of the war in Gaza City. And through this war we lost our house, my university was bombed. My whole childhood neighborhood area was completely damaged. We have been displaced to three different places in search of a safer place but unfortunately there's no safer place in Gaza. Everywhere there's bombing, everywhere is dangerous, so we are now displaced in Deir al-Balah. And me and my family lost everything, we have nothing left here in Gaza.
And my mom is very sick also, she is suffering from Lupus and because she has Lupus, she is a kidney failure patient in need of an urgent treatment and care outside of Gaza. The hospitals here is so poor and bad and the quality of her treatment is getting worse and worse because the quality of the hospitals is bad, because of the conditions of the war. So please guys, help my family, we deserve to- we deserve a decent life, we deserve to start a new beginning and deserve a new life.
So, here's the link in the bio and you can help me by sharing the video, repost, comment, like, whatever you can do can help. Every one dollar can make a difference. You can make life-changing difference to my family, you can save my family, you can save my mom. I am also trying to reach out to as many celebrities who are interested in helping people like me by making videos about the family that needs help in Gaza, like me. So I will mention them in the comment and please go to them, ask them to share my videos, and to make a video about my campaign and ask them to share my link. This is so urgent, I need your help guys because my account is prevented from receiving and sending messages so I can't reach out with them. I will mention them so please help me, and help my family.
I can't bear seeing my mom struggling with death because she has a dangerous disease which is Lupus and she is a kidney failure patient and I can't bear seeing my older sister suffering from hunger. So please guys, you can do it and please make #HelpHayasFamily. Share this video, whatever you can do can help. You can share the link as widely as possible, you can share the video. End of transcript.]

🚨Time is running out to save our lives from this genocide in Gaza
We are being exterminated in this war every day. We have been facing genocide for more than 9 months, and time is running out for me and my family to save our lives from this war. We are displaced, and each time is harder than the last, moving to a new area, each worse than the previous one.
There is a spread of diseases and famine due to the lack of aid entering from the Rafah crossing and the absence of medicines. There is no clean water. Every day, my family and I suffer from this miserable life, and no one stands with us.
I ask myself, how long will this genocide continue? I don't know the answer to this question. I am very sad and devastated, along with my family.
I hope you can help me and my family. Your support means a lot to us in saving our lives.

Silhouette aka Sil H. Ette aka Sil.
A character who exists only for the audience and narrates the story as it happens. He knows everyone's inner feelings and thoughts, but doesn't always know what they'll do, leading to funny reactions.
He is a shadow type thing and can't be heard or seen or interact physically at all. He's not always around, and just pops up occasionally.
Sil's from a story that I don't have much progress on. He is mainly connected to one character, and he narrates her struggles with her chronic illness. He's a bit goofy, so he balances the tone.
My prom's today so I drew this in celebration since I'm so excited! Yay!
happy pride month to one of my favorite straight guys. like top ten at least
Being top ten straight guy to the gays:

In the changeling au, what does “keeping” mean? I know there’s the whole thing about faeries tricking people into “giving” them their names, but what actually happens in this au? Like what would the actual consequences be in a practical sense?
(And I assume nothing happens if Adrien just learns the names through other means bc they have to “give” it to him?)
it means that people who's names he has are susceptible to his illusions and persuasions, even if neither party knows it
they can't perceive what he doesn't want them to, and they're more likely to agree with what he asks, even if its wildly out of character for them. he doesn't know he has this power, he just thinks his friends are really nice to him
and yeah, if he learns someone's name secondhand, it doesn't count. it has to be a direct interaction, and it has to be comprehensible
everyone please read this and share if you can.
Brazil is going through one of the worst climatic crisis ever seen.
i live in the southernmost state, Rio Grande do Sul. we have been suffering from extreme, nonstop rainstorms for a week now. the rivers are flooding, reaching 4-6 meters above their natural level. people are being rescued by helicopters, neighborhoods are being evacuated. entire cities are slowly but surely becoming submerged in water. 60 people missing and counting. 32 deaths and counting.
and this is not new. last november also had a flood like this one. 50 dead, many material losses. it happened again this january, with thousands being left without power or water for days.
three catastrophical disasters within less than a year. three disasters only a few months apart.
this is not natural.
unsustainable agricultural practices and politics led to this. a complete disregard for nature led to this. greed led to this. always greed.
when it comes to the climate crisis, i cannot stress this enough: we need to act now if we still want to live. disasters like this are going to happen more often and they're going to be much, much worse. this flood is being considered the worst climatic catastrophe in the history of my state. i don't know how long it will take for another bigger one to happen and take its place. i just know it will be sooner than it should.

you can always channel the grief you feel from your encampment getting destroyed by SWAT with tanks and your friends arrested with AR-15s into art. there's always art.

People are passing food and water through the gates to the Columbia University Gaza Encampment protesters.
Columbia has completely shut down access to campus to try to starve the encampment.
Can you believe it? This thing 👇 just told a lie.
not to put a finer point on it, but before i was fired from my job one of the many ways my managers were bullying me was by accusing me of antisemitism EVERY TIME i pitched an article related to Palestine (the last one i pitched before being fired was about bella hadid being fired from jobs for speaking up about Palestine. ironic). the worst of this was when i was crying in a "disciplinary" meeting about how i felt like shit while watching a genocide and their company lawyer accused me of being "manipulative" and "trojan horsing antisemitism" into the workplace. i cannot stress ENOUGH that i was purely talking about my own emotions about being Lebanese and watching Palestinians and Lebanese people be murdered and i was accused of being antisemitic. if you accuse me of being antisemitic at this point in the genocide i am gonna tell you to go fuck yourself i've had enough of the real oppression jewish people face being mentioned only as a weapon to silence me and others (including jewish ppl themselves) when we express basic sympathy to Palestinians and/or trying to advocate for Palestinian liberation. youse don't care. you are not serious people to me.
this is a poster i made for my call to action assignment in humanities! it's a bunch of basic and easy stretches for people who sit and work at a desk all day (me)
the idea is that you'd put the poster up above ur desk and do the stretches every 30 minutes or so,, the whole routine won't take more than about 6 minutes to complete and when done regularly it can prevent wrist, shoulder, neck and back pain! :)
all these stretches can be done while sitting (although i HIGHLY recommend you stand up and move around while taking a break from working)
you can get a free digital copy of this poster here on my gumroad!

Hi! I was on Instagram recently and stumbled upon Nisreen Shehada's account. Before October 7, Nisreen posted very aesthetic, well crafted baking TikToks/videos (which looked delicious!) Since October 7, she has been sharing her daily life in Gaza.
This is the first reel of hers I saw. It's so important that she is not only documenting her daily life right now (for public record, for memory, for history) but that she is doing it in a format that is so familiar to anyone online right now.
I think that even well intentioned people can sometimes unintentionally dehumanize groups fighting for justice amidst tragedy. It is vital that we view Palestinians not just as victims or impoverished or assume life has always been this non-stop nightmare. Literally, Nisreen is like so many people I know. Like so many people you know! Just a regular lady who loves baking! Just your friendly neighborhood dentist! Aperson who loves their families. A devoted cat mom. A very stylish dresser.
I love that her page shows how people are living day-to-day now. And I love that it shows her finding moments of joy even in the darkest of times. ❤️
Please give her account a follow.
Edit to add: I've made a separate account for archiving videos and posts from regular people in Palestine documenting daily life. You can follow it @watermelllonarchive
