hey guys, i have some good news!!

remember my friend @aburakhiaibrahim? he's just told me that his sister samah, who lives in canada, applied for family reunification and was approved! this means that ibrahim and his family can now go join her in canada. she's also the one running his fundraiser campaign, by the way!

however, there's an issue -- to go to canada, to samah and to safety, ibrahim and his family need to reach egypt first. and we all know that crossing the border into egypt is no easy feat, especially when you consider the exorbitant amount of money they require.

ibrahim and his family have lost everything - their family, home, livelihoods. this is the one chance they have to making it to safety. their goal is $30k CAD, but they're only at around $13k at the time of writing this post. not even halfway. he's reached out to me and i promised to do my best to help, which is why i'm writing this. he's my friend and i want nothing more than for him and his family to be safe.

so please, please, donate what you can. bear in mind that because of conversion rates, even $5 USD or 5 euro would mean a lot to ibrahim. if you are unable to donate, please reblog. please. their last donation was 4 days ago. they can see a way out - please help them reach there.

thank you.

bat at hornets nest maybe but "there is no ethical consumption under capitalism" refers to low income communities needing to choose between survival vs being eco friendly. not you continuing to watch the harry potter movies

I wish someone would hurry up and invent a game where I help a woman who is permanently dripping mud get a makeover and leave her shitty boyfriend, or perhaps an army game where I lead my troops through basic arithmetic functions such as +10 and x7

The Reluctant Victor, inspired by The Reluctant Bride by Auguste Toulmouche - I just thought that this painting was SO perfect for Katniss and I had to draw it!

“I hate school I’m sorry Malala”- Funny yet poignant. Acknowledges both the difficulty of the task and the fact that doing that task is a privilege. Gives credit to the people who fought for that privilege with a tongue in cheek acknowledgement of the irony of the initial statement

“I’m just a girl I should be home baking bread not doing calculus” - at best historically uninformed at worst leaps decades back in time. Refusal to acknowledge the charged history of education and slights the centuries of women’s labor it took to reach this point
