š Trapped in Pain⦠A Motherās Plea š
I am Kholoud Al-Hanawi From Gaza šµšø, the wife of Dr. Ahmad, a surgeon who risked his life in the war to save others. But today, he stands helplessāunable to save his own children. Our home is gone, reduced to rubble, and now we live in a tattered tent, barely shielding us from the burning sun and freezing nights. We have lost everything⦠but the worst pain is watching our children suffer.
Our precious babies, Yazan (9 years old) and Zeina (2 years old), are battling a cruel diseaseāPlaque Ichthyosis Psoriasis š©ø. Their delicate skin cracks, bleeds, and burns every single day. Every movement is agony. Every night is filled with their cries of pain. No child should suffer like this.
Tonight, Yazan looked at me with tear-filled eyes and whispered:
āMama⦠will I be like this forever?ā š¢
I swallowed my pain and forced a smile. How do I tell him that the medicine he desperately needs is beyond our reach? $500 every 3 daysāthatās what it costs to ease their pain. But how can we afford it when we barely have food to survive?
Then came his next question⦠the one that shattered me completely:
No mother should ever have to hear these words from her child. No child should have to live in constant agony, wondering if they will survive. I am begging⦠if you hear me, if you feel our pain, please help us before itās too late. šš

S.686 - RESTRICT Act
In general, what is your favorite aspect of Rogue, design/personality-wise?
She's got this ruthlessness to her that comes up every once in a while in media outside the games that I think is BONKERS every time it does, like she'll go from 0 to 100 SO fast and it's SO funny.
I think one of the most heinous things she's done was in Sonic X when she triggered Shadow's PTSD ON PURPOSE to get away from him
fucking foul
the most life-changing customer iāve ever had at work was a guy who came up to me and my coworker when we were at cash and saidĀ āhey kidsā¦. wanna see something?ā
and I said sure because why the fuck not, iām here for a good time not a long time, and this motherfucker pulled a railroad spike out of his pocket.
A GODDAMN
ANTIQUE
RAILROAD
SPIKE
It was a fucking foot long chunk of steel that weighed about five pounds on its own so i was likeĀ āhuhā¦.. neatā
and he saidĀ āwait. thereās moreā and he took out a screwdriver. inlaid into the head of the spike.Ā āthings arenāt always as they appearā he said as he unscrewed the bit and pulled out of this goddamn railroad spike
a statue
a tiny, tiny golden statue stood on the base of this flathead screw. it was a tiny golden man standing next to a tiny golden flower with gemstones in the petals. the whole thing was smaller than my thumbnail is tall. it was detailed enough that the tiny man had facial features. it was amazing.
āoh my god,ā i said.Ā āhow long did it take you to make that?ā
āhereās a word of advice,ā he said,Ā ānever answer that question when people ask it. it devalues your work. youāll get faster and better at things, and be able to make more art in less time. they donāt need to know about the process, just the productā.
and he left and thatās the one artistic piece of advice i definitely wanna hold to.
donāt tell people how long it takes to make shit.
I can finally share this little project Iāve been working on!! itās called āthe Crown of the Faeā and i really wanted to explore how my two characters, Aiden (the fae) and Aiva (the wee lass) met each other! And what better way to do that than in the form of RHYME!!! But honestly, these two characters mean a lot to me, and Iām so glad my book illustration class finally gave me the opportunity to do a little more with them! .
INKtober Day 26-DR NAZO
Japanese pop-cultureās first modern supervillain, Dr Nazo has been either a disfigured human scientist or an evil alien tyrant! However, no matter the origin, this costumed clawed madman left a infamous legacy of evil schemes, from creating monsters, to building many a death ray, to trying to hurl a rouge planet right at Earth, Nazoās misdeeds would go to inspired many a villain in both anime and manga! Only the legendary GOLDEN BAT, the super-mummy from Atlantis, has the power and means to stand in his way!
Really happy to see this at my local library
I do have a question. Itās something a struggle with and wanted to know how you keep it from happening.
I know you have made this comic. But I am curious. How do you keep motivated to just, keep writing for it? And when you are writing do you plan several pages ahead, like what you already want to go down and how it should happen? (Sorry if thatās confusing I am trying to explain it the best I can)
Typically, and ideally, when writing a script, getting it fully written first before tackling the art is the way to go. I didn't do that. Since I went about it a nonsensical way, I'm loosely following along a bunch of key story beats but otherwise totally rewriting my story for a comic format. I've written as much of it as I could, throwing down those train tracks as the train continues rolling forward, though at this point I've bought enough time to write in a much less panicked frenzy. So, basically, to answer your second question, I've written full chapters ahead of where we are in the comic right now. I hope this answer can be understood by anyone besides me, the alien goo monster attempting to pass along thought to human written speech.
Now, as for the first question;
Motivation is a tough thing to wrangle. When I feel motivated, it's normally because I've gotten to an exciting part of my story and I can't wait to share it with my early readers. That feeling within me was the demon that had me bang on my keyboard until I ended up with three full chapters (3-5) written. It's a demon that may help you (though there's no guarantee). As someone who probably has undiagnosed ADHD, lemme make that suggestion for you. Try finding an early reader who you feel would enjoy your work. Even if that early reader is, like, your mom or something. I dunno. I share Infested with my mom.
or maybe don't share your script with your mom i dunno.
But! Uh! Yeah! I hope you can take anything positive away from this answer!
