btw the palestinian children’s relief fund is currently running a fundraiser & is more than halfway to their goal of $10,000 !

here’s a link for anyone who is willing & able to donate, please share so it can reach more people, especially as the weather grows colder & these children are desperately lacking resources.

(at $5,314 / $10,000 as of December 1)

hello all! today I would like to bring your attention to my friend Shahed's campaign ( @shahdhatem ), a medical student from Gaza

she's been working tirelessly to support her family, which consists of 7 members, and at the same time to study for her finals; all of this under the dangerous conditions she's living in due to the ongoing genocide in her homeland

she's contacted me last week to make a drawing of her to promote her campaign and also to draw her two little sisters, Layan and Joud, that I'm going to share with you to hopefully catch your attention

she's managed to raise $15k so far but donations are coming in slowly and the situation keeps getting more dangerous by the hour, so I ask you please to share if you can't donate and help her and her beautiful family

she's very close to her short term goal of 17,000$ and I hope we can help her get there soon, for those who might be sceptical or hesitant: her campaign has been verified and shared by @nabulsi here

The numbers are simply to help me keep track of how many links I've added since tumblr has a 100 link limit on posts.

Most of these links will take you the posts I've made about these fundraisers that provide brief summaries so you can check for verification and see where your money is going.

just got done with a commission for my sibling, who asked me to draw otus from owlboy and my take on what he would look like a bit more grown up both flying in the sky!

Hey guys. Normally I don't post fundraisers more than once just to show you guys which ones are legit but this fundraiser is a special case. (In the link CW: photo of a child with blood on face if you scroll all the way down):

This fundraiser has been at a very low amount for a long time. I feel like it needs to be spotlighted and pushed forward. This individual's children have hemophilia and in the case of a cut or other issue they do not have the possibility of treatment and could die. Please please please send money their way. Spare a few $ today and send it to this fundraiser.

on top of the backlog of doodles, here's what i drew after monday's masks session! we miiiight have accidentally gone missing for three days, but at least we're all on the same page about clove's doom and the (potential) end of the world now!

[tobespierre]

i have such a huge backlog of doodles from the masks campaign i’m in, every time we play i get smacked with the need to draw these ridiculous teens. so here’s some of clove with theo/their team, and some of clove and his twin sister!

[tobespierre]

i don’t usually like to post fanart on here but i’ve been so excited at the glimpses of hades 2 I’ve seen, so i had to doodle my all-time favorite fruits

[tobespierre]

oh, the perils of having a crush on one of the other teens you’ve been assigned to a superhero team with. it’ll only ever be a dream sequence for clove, because theo would never be this self-aware about his own feelings :p

(both characters use he/him, the one with the longer hair also uses they/them)

[tobespierre]

I haven’t seen a similar post on tumblr, but here’s a few places to donate money and find means to support those in Palestine-

Pious Project provides menstrual care kits as well as soap, shampoo, disinfectants, etc

Gaza Esims lets you donate Esims- these are used to connect to the internet and keep communication going in and out of the country

Operation Olive Branch is a spreadsheet of Gofundmes for families seeking funds to flee the country, each having a link to sponsor them

Stop Gaza Genocide is a google doc that is constantly updated, which includes how to contact representatives, how to protest, and various activist resources (US centric)

Samidoun provides a constantly updating calendar of protests, and you can submit ones not listed if there’s a protest happening near you (Global)

UNRWA and Care for Gaza are orgs that directly provide general aid and food

Lastly, while not inherently about Palestine, I do want to encourage everyone reading this that If you see a post regarding Palestine- a video, a photo, a livestream, a text post- Archive it with the Wayback Machine. When digital information is prone to deletion and censorship, we cannot afford to lose something as valuable as knowledge.

it’s been a while, but i’ve got a fresh new character from the game of masks i’m currently in! he and his “nemesis” are a set of twins with intertwined powers granted by wish magic, and unless they can reunite after their nasty fight that left them on different planes of existence, the world is doomed to end, and so are they. his backstory and a picture of his twin sister below!

“When we were five, me and my twin, Bay (they/she), wished upon a falling star to always be with each other no matter what. The magic in that star intertwined us inseparably, and as we grew a candle’s flame took hold of my heart, while a curtain’s shadow overtook theirs. We cannot exist without one another, but we no longer are so close as we once were. Without their shadow, the flame threatens to consume me whole, and without my light to define what they are not, they are threatened with the prospect of fading from existence.”

The Israeli occupation dropped leaflets in Al-Bureij today (Times of Gaza) that read:

"You are located in an critical battle zone. For your safety leave immediately and head to known shelters in Deir-Al-Balah" (25-12-23)

Here’s what the situation in Deir-Al-Balah has been this past week up until this morning:

Dr Ebraheem works in the Al-Aqsa Martyr’s Hospital in Deir-Al-Balah. This is what he’s got to say about the situation in Deir-Al-Balah

In a post written on his blog, Dr Ebraheem describes the situation at the hospital further:

“I saw bodies coming spewing dust as if they were a sponge dipped in ash. I saw children bleeding and sinking into a coma because heavy stones came on their weak heads. I saw people whose colors, shapes, and names changed, where at a certain moment it was not possible to know who was injured, as they said: ‘Clean his face from the dust, perhaps we might recognize him.’

They do, and discover that he is so-and-so, the kind and simple man, as he was sitting in his house because he had no other place to escape.

I saw people confused by the number of victims - because of their large number—‘How many dead did we count today? Did we miscount? I told you, in the last hour, two girls came as martyrs, two children with bleeding heads, ten young men who came without vital signs in one fell swoop at the very least, lumps of flesh (parts) in a small bag, and open heads from which the brain can be seen.’

I sat with someone who was talking to himself and asking: ‘All these injured and martyrs were like us an hour ago, they were with us.’

A little while ago they were alive (like us), so when will our turn come?”

meanwhile, we have people making excuses saying palestinians are given “ample time to evacuate”. evacuate where?! where should they go? everywhere they go there is murder, rubble, bombings and destruction. nowhere is safe. it’s all a trap!

where. should. they. go?

this is their homeland. there are not going anywhere else. ceasefire and end occupation NOW!!

CONTACT YOUR REPS AND CALL FOR CEASEFIRE AND AN END TO OCCUPATION

PROTEST!

let the world know you stand with palestine. let the world know it MUST at any cost, dismantle the state of israel and free the palestinians.

demand the rights of the palestinians. demand they be given back their land. THIS is what land back means. the palestinians must be given their land back in its entirety.

from the river to the sea, palestine must be freed.

there are no more negotiations to be made. they must be free. this has gone too far for too long. israeli aggression is intolerable and the world will no longer stand for it nor make excuses for it. this is not a war. these people are not collateral. this is a textbook case of genocide and it, and the israeli occupation, must be stopped.
