I Made This Print Back In 2019 While I Was Still In Art School And Before I Ever Had Any Personal Experience

it's so fucked up you cant start working on your life at 3 am. when it most matters

I have spent more time putting together the playlist for all the music that inspires my art than I have actually making my art

Mohammad reached out to me recently and asked if I would draw something to help him and his family

if potions were real wrestlers would be chugging them by the gallon on stage

My little brothers have not comprehended what is happening to them from this humanitarian disaster and we have never lived this life before. We are living the worst tragic moments and hell has not stopped yet.

Laboring in my laboratory wearing my white coat and long black nitrile gloves with white hair standing on end locked tf in all mad and scientistc in the eerie glow with my beakers and baubles beeping maschines and pages of scrawled notes strewn about and you think I'm creating life or building a bioweapon but in fact I'm just passing a glowing green solenoid back and forth between flasks watching with fascination because I'm off some strong as fuck acid and a couple gas station gummies to boot

Help my family rebuild our life 🇵🇸🍉

Dear Humanity,

My name is Hazem, and I am 27 years old, living in the Gaza Strip with my wife, Nadra, who is 26 and expecting our first child. We led a simple life until the recent war devastated everything, forcing us to flee multiple times. We now live in a tent on the streets, facing unbearable conditions.

In addition to the war, I lost my father, and our home, my store, and everything we worked for were destroyed. As I prepare to become a father, I am deeply concerned about the future of our unborn child and the care my wife needs during her pregnancy.

🚨 We Need Your Kindness to Survive 🚨

Hello, My name is Mosab Elderawi, and I live in Gaza with my family. Life here has become harder than I ever imagined, and I’m writing this with hope in my heart that you might hear our story.

The ongoing war has devastated my family. We’ve lost 25 family members—each one a beloved part of our lives, taken too soon. I miss them deeply—their laughter, their presence, their love. Every day is a reminder of this unimaginable loss.

We are now facing daily challenges to survive—things that most people take for granted, like food, clean water, and a safe place to sleep. The harsh realities of life here have replaced our dreams with the constant fight for survival.

Our Current Situation:

💔 Lost Stability: The war has left us without work or a stable source of income. 🍞 Basic Needs: Food and water are becoming harder to afford with rising prices and scarce resources. 📚 Dreams on Hold: Like so many here, my family’s dreams have been replaced by the need to simply survive. 😢 Unimaginable Loss: Losing 25 loved ones has left a void that can never be filled.

How You Can Help:

I’m sharing our story with the hope that someone out there might care. Even $5 can make a big difference for us, and if you’re unable to donate, just reblogging this post can help spread the word.

Your kindness, no matter how small, is something we’ll never forget.

What This Means to Us:

Your support is not about changing our entire situation—it’s about giving us a little relief, a little hope, and a way to keep going. We are not asking for much, and we understand if you can’t donate. Sharing our story is just as valuable to us as a donation.

Thank you for reading this far. It means the world to us to know that someone is listening. Your kindness gives us strength and helps us believe in a better tomorrow.

With all our gratitude, Mosab Elderawi and Family ❤️

it's fucking insane that we have a whole system of national and international charities and NGOs and government bodies and treaty organisations all devoting themselves to children's rights work while simultaneously being completely unwilling to name the problems they're fighting against.

imagine if every feminist organisation on Earth was unwilling to say the word "misogyny". imagine if the NAACP refused to address racism. that's what it's like.

everyone from the Children's Commissioner for Wales to fucking UNICEF is out here like "we are here to protect children from harm" and won't say the words "adultism" or "ageism".

they run campaigns to get children's rights taught in schools and deliberately never talk about the fact that the reason schools aren't already doing that is because authoritarian institutions have a vested interest in people not knowing their rights.

they petition governments to outlaw beating children and then spend half their public messaging falling over themselves to apologise to parents for implying they might be doing something wrong instead of saying "yeah, actually, we have a problem of systemic parental violence against children and parents who commit and defend that violence are, in fact, the enemy."

it's like they think children's rights and dignity are threatened by some unknowable force of the universe at large instead of by observable systems of power and privilege perpetuated by actual real-life people. and anyone who notices this ends up going crazy feeling like the guy who got out of Plato's cave but couldn't convince anyone else the shadows weren't reality.
