Blackbeard’s Hand.
Major Arcana #1 by Tomás Sousa
This is Rawan, who has been tirelessly fundraising for the evacuation of all 11 of her family members from the devastating genocide. A couple weeks back, we were able to raise the funds to help her sister, Israa, evacuate!! Now, we need to help Rawan over the finish line so that she may be able to reach safety too!
I've donated $5 -- if you can, please match my donation! A little adds up to a lot!
🌟 This campaign has been spotlighted by a Palestinian-led collective that amplifies Gazan voices - follow them @/palestineasdiqa on IG!! Also, you can follow Rawan for updates @/rawan_basem8 on IG!!

i share a lot of fundraisers on here but right now i want to take a moment and bring extra attention to @ibrahim-family's campaign, #25 on the @gazavetters spreadsheet:
he's only fifteen years old. younger than my youngest sibling. and he's responsible for saving the lives of his family. can you imagine having to grapple with that at 15? would you be able to handle the pressure?
every day he messages me, full of anxiety when my responses lapse, and when i share his posts or tell him what i can do to help he tells me he loves me.
today he told me that his uncle was martyred just hours earlier.
when the genocide is over, ibrahim is still going to need love and support, but right now he needs the resources to survive. please, please, please donate what you can to his campaign, no matter how small.
Pink Prison, a comic I did for my color theory class this semester! we had to pick a color, research it, and do a piece related to it somehow. i chose pink :)
Lines of thought that seem Normal but are actually rooted in extreme puritanism:
-Seeing the nude human body is inherently traumatic -Sex scenes in art are pointless -Wearing kink-related clothing in public is the similar to performing a sex scene in front of unwilling participants -Depicting female characters expressing sexuality is always degrading -People's sexual fantasies are always an endorsement of the behavior they want to see in real life -Sex work is more traumatic and coercive than other types of work The goal is to treat sex as just another thing people do. That is a much healthier attitude than hiding it! It's not uniquely traumatic, it's not weird to talk about it or include it in society.
Oh gawd every time you think it's over it gers BETTER
