Dear Friends,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to share an urgent plea for help. Due to the ongoing conflict in Gaza, my family and I have been forced to flee our home and seek refuge in Khan Younis. My mother, who is pregnant, is in critical need of assistance to ensure her safety and the safety of her unborn child.

We are facing severe hardships and are struggling to provide her with the necessary medical care and basic necessities. I have launched a campaign to raise funds for my mother's survival during this perilous time.

Your support in sharing our campaign on social media could make a life-saving difference. Please help us spread the word and gather the support we desperately need.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Sincerely,

Please help us by sharing the post on your page so that we can collect donations and get out of the war. You are our hope. I will be very grateful to you . ❤️🙏🏼

I'm so sorry for this

lead balloon (the tumblr post that saved me)

if this comic resonated with you, it would mean the world to me if you donated to this palestinian family's escape fund.

--

no creative notes because this isn't that kind of comic.

I know I don’t owe any of you anything but I still felt compelled to write about my long term absence. And I feel far enough away from the dangerous spot I was in to be able to make this comic. I have a therapist now, and she agreed that making this could be a very cathartic gesture, and the start of properly leaving these thoughts behind me. I am still, at seemingly random times, blindsided by fleeting desires to kill myself. They’re always passing urges, but it’s disarming, and uncomfortable. I worry sometimes that my brain’s spent so long thinking only about suicide that it’s forgotten how to think about anything else. Like, now that I've opened that door for myself, I'll never be able to fully shut it again. But I’m trying my best to encourage my mind in other directions. We'll see how that goes.

I am still donating all proceeds from my store to Palestinian causes. So far, I've donated over $15K, not including donations coming from my own pocket or the fundraising streams which jointly raised around $10K. In the time since I made my initial post about where this money would be going, the focus has shifted from aid organisations to directly donating to escape funds.

If you'd like to do the same, you can look at Operation Olive Branch, which hosts hundreds of Palestinian escape funds or donate to Safebow, which has helped facilitate the safe crossing and securing of important medical procedures for over 150 at-risk palestinians since the beginning of the genocide.

I Saw the TV Glow is such a uniquely, devastatingly queer story. Two queer kids trapped in suburbia. Both of them sensing something isn’t quite right with their lives. Both of them knowing that wrongness could kill them. One of them getting out, trying on new names, new places, new ways of being. Trying to claw her way to fully understanding herself, trying to grasp the true reality of her existence. Succeeding. Going back to help the other, to try so desperately to rescue an old friend, to show the path forward. Being called crazy. Because, to someone who hasn’t gotten out, even trying seems crazy. Feels crazy. Looks, on the surface, like dying.

And to have that other queer kid be so terrified of the internal revolution that is accepting himself that he inadvertently stays buried. Stays in a situation that will suffocate him. Choke the life out of him. Choke the joy out of him. Have him so terrified of possibly being crazy that he, instead, lives with a repression so extreme, it quite literally is killing him. And still, still, he apologizes for it. Apologizes over and over and over, to people who don’t see him. Who never have. Who never will. Because it’s better than being crazy. Because it’s safer than digging his way out. Killing the image everyone sees to rise again as something free and true and authentic. My god. My god, this movie. It shattered me.

something that really gets me is that we see so much of york being wholeheartedly dedicated to carolina

we see him staying up late to watch over her, following her orders to a tee, not leaving her side when she’s in a coma, coming back for her and rooting for her even when she loses

AND YET his choice ISNT to stay with her!! he’s such an interesting character bc from that choice alone - to not only turn against her but ask her to change her ways - we see how he truly believed in carolina and believes that she is good. we see so little of him outside of the context of carolina and yet we know so much about him from actions like this!! york wants to be good and to do right, and he will make sacrifices for that, even if the bridges he has to burn in order to do so haunt him forever

[joyboying]

luffy and law saying "i love you" to each other truly hits so different when you remember ace and cora-san literally their most important person said "thanks for loving me" and "law i love you" before they died to them. their similar backstory when it comes to this gave it more nuances almost like a proof for second chance or a promise to each other that surely this time whatever lies ahead before them the outcome will be different.

A message for my fellow trans ppl <3

A few years ago, while trying to track down an old friend of my dad's, we realized she was trans. I was obviously ecstatic to find out that my dad had an old trans friend, who he thought was simply gay and in drag for their college years, because I thought he might finally try to understand how awful it can be sometimes. But, no, and he continued to call the old friend by her deadname and use he/him pronouns for her. When I told him that he should probably stop deadnaming her (he wasn't actually talking *to* her, as we have no idea what her phone number or address is, but he was talking *about* her) but when I mentioned the term, 'deadname' he laughed. It shocked me that he could so easily dismiss something we find so sacred in the trans community. I told him, 'yes, its called a deadname, because the person who used to use it is dead.' He simply dismissed me. I felt so violated, but it was one of the first times I realized just how disconnected cis, and many sexuality-wise queer ppl are from the trans experience. My parents strongly believe trans women are ugly and rapists. Which is not only a disgusting opinion, but shows just how little they know. In the trans community, we hold each other's hands and hearts, both of which have been peeled of their outer skins, and have had their nerves pinched and prodded. We caress the wounds of our siblings, avoiding the abused nerves, spreading love on their scarred flesh. No cis person can relate to that feeling, of being completely unknown by those around you, but finding someone who can know exactly what you are feeling with just a look. When a trans person stares down at their own chest, we know exactly what they are feeling, down to the marrow in their bones. But a cis person might simply think they are checking for stains, or at the most, register that the person is uncomfortable.

No matter how much we teach the cis community, they will never completely understand what dysphoria is like. However, we can still accept the small victories. If an opportunity where you are able to educate ever arises, please take it. Together, we will create a new world. One where not so many of our siblings are killed by themselves or others. Remember, there will always be the community to come back to, no matter how bad it gets. TRANS PPL ARE BEATIFUL. Period. Remember that. Please. We are an endangered group fighting for our lives, but we are always beautiful. Every act of loving yourself is a piece of the revolution. Stay alive. Having you here is more important than ever. STAY SAFE <333
