Saw some lady at the train station with a long flowing white skirt, walking a dog with a long flowing white fur, and they both were glowing equally in the contre-jour light of sunshine. Had to draw a rough sketch of them and then shittily shade it on my phone so I'll remember to try to draw them later.

Did you know that horses are still used for logging? Not just as a way to keep traditional handicrafts alive, but because horses are genuinely better at some jobs than machines?


Horses are much gentler on sensitive ecosystems, they're more flexible in rocky terrain, and they don't topple over on a hillside.
They can enter dense forests and drag out one specific tree without damaging the other trees and without compacting or eroding the soil.
They also run on hay instead of gas or electricity. Horses don't pollute the ecosystem with either oil leaks, gas stench, or noise.

In conclusion, draft horses are awesome c:

If you've ever appreciated my posts about LGBTQ issues, this Pride month, as a favor to me, please do something to help my friend Fadel ( @fadel-dani ).
Fadel is multiply disabled.
A very serious accident left his leg paralyzed for a long time, and now he walks with great difficulty. He also has thalassemia, a blood disorder, which leaves him incredibly fatigued. The medication he needs costs €400 every month. He needs to buy medication as soon as possible, because he has not been able to afford it so far this month. He suffers from dizziness and nausea all the time because he has not been able to buy his medication yet.
Fadel needs urgent surgery
Over 550 days ago, Fadel's family home was bombed and he was left with iron shrapnel embedded in his body. The medical infrastructure in Gaza has been decimated and he URGENTLY needs to get to a better-resourced hospital to get this shrapnel surgically removed safely.
Fadel's family is starving
Israel has created and maintained famine in Gaza as a genocidal tactic. Not only do they prevent food aid from entering, but they target crowds of Palestinians waiting for the distribution of aid.
Fadel and his brothers recently traveled together to an aid site, hungry and desperate for food, only to be met with Israeli snipers.
He recounted, "I saw many martyrs die in front of my eyes. Unfortunately we fled and were not able to take any food or anything. Now we have nothing to eat. A bag of flour costs 800 euros, a kilo of sugar costs 100 euros, a kilo of tomatoes costs 50 euros, and a liter of milk costs 80 euros. What's worse is that my medication is about to run out. I don't know what to do. Should I spend my surgery money to buy medicine and food to eat, or what?"
He told me today that for the last two days his family has been rationing their remaining supplies so that they have only been able to eat once a day. They are always hungry.
Fadel's campaign is vetted
His campaign has been vetted by @gazavetters (#197) and 90-ghost.
Earlier this year he raised nearly 50% of his goal, but on April 25th, 2025, GoFundMe cruelly deleted his fundraiser with no warning or explanation (something this company has done to many Palestinians trying to survive genocide) and he was forced to start over with a new campaign.
Despite GoFundMe's deletion of his first campaign automatically returning all donations to the donors, most people who previously donated have not taken the time to send that money back to him.
Today as I write this (June 22, 2025), he has has raised 39% of his goal, still over €3,000 below the amount he had raised back in April.
He has escaped death so many times, and he needs our help to survive long enough to get to a hospital who can treat his injuries.
What you can do:
Donate any amount you can to his campaign
Make a post about Fadel to share his story and encourage others to donate
Share this post with your followers
Send him a kind message at @fadel-dani and offer your friendship

💔 Today we ate only bread. My little son tried to pretend he was full, but he couldn't hold back his tears. I feel helpless, but I try to hold on to hope.
🙏 Any support – even a kind word – means a lot to us.

Herrrre’s a new beastie, pov you are a tasty mackerel or perhaps an eel.
I didn’t mean for her to look so…cute? She’s been in the crockpot for a while and seeing all the lion-dancer posts gave me the need to flesh her out.
I guess she’s like a massive hydrozoan type beast that’s being puppeted around by a couple mutant isopods? I’ll think of something more in depth for her though.
Her name is Maggie Motley :3c
And I made a new chunky water mark✨
