truly
Help my family to get out and sea for what is left of life. The war is devastating. Death is approachin every person and destruction is everywhere. We hope that there is hope before it is too late.
My heart goes out to you. I'm sorry if I can't help directly because of my situation, but I hope with the attention I just got someone can help better than I can offer.
Our war will be over soon, none of us will be free until we are all free. 🇵🇸 🇻🇪 ❤️
This Pride I hope that all of you never ever forget that no amount of sanitizing your sex life or sanding down of your LGBT edges will make bigots accept you. So, don’t debase yourself by capitulating an inch to them, especially in ways that throw your fellow community members under the bus.
i still cannot get it out of my head that a police officer pointed a gun and screamed "get on the ground" repeatedly when faced with a young man burning alive. its been like 12h since i saw the video and it keeps coming back to me. you literally could not ever make this up
if someone wrote this scene as a political metaphor ppl would roll their eyes, as if as if as if. and it just happened. the arm of the state that holds a gun knows nothing but killing even when faced with death itself
"I know chatgpt is bad but you just don't really have any choice" you literally do. Don't use it. Have some moral backbone.
Living on a planet where any government is allowed to go through with military action that they know will result in the death of civilians should be gut-wrenchingly painful for all of us. Over 10,000 children have died in Palestine since October 7th, and there is not a single child in Gaza who is not suffering. CHILDREN. INFANTS. I can't stop thinking about all the innocent children we are losing and leaving to suffer every day.
Please use whatever privilege you have to do whatever you can during the Global Strike for Palestine (January 21st - 28th). Contact your representatives. Call for an immediate ceasefire. Boycott, stimulate the economy as minimally as possible, participate in pro-Palestinian protests, educate yourself, and most importantly, amplify the voices of Palestinians.

The text is surrounded by small toys, pencils, and other handmade objects depicted in the same black, white, and green colors. End ID]

I'm organizing a digital art raffle to collect funds for Yahya's family; Yahya is a Faculty of Pharmacy student from Gaza whose family is in urgent need of donations - their campaign is at €3,464 / €50,000 right now. They're also currently homeless & sleeping on the street after a storm destroyed their tent and are just about €600 short of being able to afford a new one.
TO ENTER:
Make a donation of at least €5 to Yahya's GoFundMe.
Forward the receipt email to mariamc.arts@gmail.com and I will count your entries; €5 = 1 entry into the raffle, so the more you donate the bigger your chance to win! You can enter as many times as you want. (Only donations made after this post went up count).
‼️Raffle will end in 1 month, on November 22nd, and winners will be contacted by email (the one they used for the receipt) during the 22-24th weekend to arrange the art commissions.
more examples of my art & general commission info (payment part obviously does not apply)
Please donate & share this post if you can - every donation can make a real difference.
Please if you have the means consider buying an e-sim for Gaza! It’s very quick and easy!
