I’m making this post on the behalf of Sami and his family. Fundraiser here.

Sami says:

"A simple picture, yet it holds a powerful meaning. Tell me what did you understand, and what will you do? 'I understood that these children are in urgent need of donations, and I will donate. I will also share this post—it might help in some way. This image is full of sorrowful meaning, and I will do everything I can for these innocent children. I will donate so that they can go to school, eat clean food, and sleep in peace.' This is exactly what is happening right now with me and my family in the heart of Gaza. Please, donate—share—speak up. Don’t stop. We are between life and death. Don’t leave us behind."

Please do anything you can to help, any engagement is appreciated even if you cannot directly give to the campaign. Thank you so much <3.

Repeat after me:

I am worthy just as I am.

I guess I'll make a Juneteenth promo too 😭 I'm Hope! I'm a black (and Texan!) artist that mostly focuses on character design. I love to draw traditional / historical clothing and beautiful women 🫶🏾 I also draw a lot of self inserts bc I love to have fun. I have two historical fantasy world building projects I'm working on, though they're both untitled 🥺

If you'd like to support me I have a kofi, but I'm also open for some small commission types on Vgen !

It's Juneteenth yall. And I'm not letting this day go unmarked.

Black people fight for everybody. We stand in solidarity with women, lgbt people, poor people all over the world of every skin color and background. Every religion and nationality.

Today, stand with us. Be with us. Tell a black person you love them. Hug a black person (with consent). Ask that hot black girl out today. Make a black person smile. Black lives matter to everybody and you matter to us.

Stand with us on Juneteenth like we stand with you all year round, and I hope a happy Pride month continues for all of us

💝

Every time I see scenes of the insane bombing by the Israeli occupation on northern Gaza, specifically the city of Beit Hanoun I remember the scene of my brother's martyrdom and my farewell look at him. I will never forget this scene. Because he was martyred in the city of Beit Hanoun in 2006. He was a handsome, ambitious young man, about 16 years old. He had ambitions and dreams and loved football.The occupation deprived us of my older brother and everything we dreamed of, and it continues to haunt us to this day.

Please help my family achieve a better future, change and provide for our living needs.

sorry for acting weird. that was me following my heart

fuck corporate pride, fuck israel's pinkwashing, and fuck the blatant apathy that white gay & trans people show towards people of color on the ground.

the lgbt+ community came together through immense struggle and sacrifice, but the most privileged of us have consistently pulled the ladders up behind them. i refuse to be in community or share space with those of you choosing to remain silent right now, over a year and a half into this genocide, when we all have the ability to stand up and fucking do something.

while jaia cruz remains in jail for rightfully defending herself against transmisogynistic violence, while city pride parades continue to platform weapons manufacturers, while politicians performatively prance around in june and turn around and protect the police officers that kill us… the question should be asked: what must we do beyond simply having pride?

you must reject the notion that these issues do not affect you, or that you have no power to change our conditions, or that your personal comfort is more important than the struggle. the european patriarchal gender binary was enforced on our people via violent colonization, and we still suffer the repercussions of this today. it is our responsibility to uplift the liberation of all peoples and fucking fight back against imperialism and neoliberalism. we must stand with the resistance on the ground. our struggles are connected. if the movement isn't anti-imperialist, anti-racist, and anti-capitalist in nature, then i don't fucking want it.

**Please ensure that you're typing the Venmo usernames in correctly since there are scammers out there impersonating these accounts. Use the links if you're not sure. Be sure to send only heart emojis.

‼️ NOTES ‼️

i’m taking as many as i can until i burn out. turnaround of a few weeks; incredibly swamped w/ work rn so i may not get to all of them

if you are unable to donate, and are in a position to protest the raids, consider hitting the streets. be sure to know the numbers for your local jail support and nlg chapter beforehand.

mutual aid for immigrants who are affected by ice raids is also a necessity. plug into local networks or start your own — people need groceries and rides to and from work. try to establish an ice watch if you're in an area where people will be targeted.

LA public press has an article out with resources and other ways you can support.

thank you for reading. get organized & take care of each other.
