I'll keep this short: Nour's campaign has been stagnating and Tumblr keeps banning her accounts. If you can, please consider donating. She has five young children to care for (one immunocompromised), and many members of her extended family—who were already poor before the war broke out—now rely on this fundraiser to make it through the winter.

Currently: $34,770 / $90,000

For vetting info, look here.

Currently: $35,751 / $90,00

Nour's campaign is stagnating again, and she need the funds to help her family survive the winter (warm clothes can cost up to $400 per person). Please share and donate if you're able.

thought this would be good to share.

Please look at little Hamoud, and his specimen of a cat in Al Zawaydah. Such floof.

Hamoud and many other Palestinian children like him benefit greatly from Gaza Soup Kitchen. Please consider sharing and donating to help the people of Palestine in northern Gaza!

(source)

The Gaza Soup Kitchen is run by Hani Almadhoun and his sisters, mother, father, and surviving brother. Hani is a Palestinian-American and the former director of philanthropy at UNRWA USA. Their work has recently been covered by NPR, PBS, NBC News, The Washington Post, CBC, and more news outlets. Beyond the soup kitchen serving thousands of people daily, the Almadhoun family has also organized the resources for a makeshift medical clinic and a makeshift school.

If you match my donation, then you could redeem your donation receipt (as low as $5!) for commissions and other rewards from volunteer artists (check this linked post to find out).

Whether or not you're in a position to donate, I really recommend boosting the Gaza Soup Kitchen and following gazasoupkitchen on Instagram (and Hani's Facebook page). Hani puts a lot of professional care into keeping the focus on the joy and resilience of Palestinian families even as they struggle—like little Hamoud and his cat! If you've had to step away from witnessing violent photos on social media for mental health reasons, then following gazasoupkitchen could be a good way to show your support.

when i was 17 and in the eating disorder trenches i saw people online talking abt how the fat liberation movement & unlearning fatphobia helped them recover and i did NOT like hearing that i was SO mad about it i was like well having an eating disorder doesnt mean im fatphobic!!! This is ableist etc etc. And then i learned abt the fat liberation movement and started unlearning fatphobia and guess what . it does help

it’s a lot less tempting to try to lose weight by harming urself if u stop seeing being skinny as being important or innately desirable . likewise you stop caring as much abt gaining weight if u stop seeing weight gain as an inherently morally wrong thing that makes you ugly and lazy. And like even if youve never in your life externalized that to another person and you dont consciously agree with it. Still worth thinking abt imo

inb4 "are u saying eating disorders make u inherently fatphobic" im saying we exist in the context of all in which we live and what came before us. which includes how fatphobia is so deeply normalized in society. and that societal cruelty towards people who arent stick thin (for women & those seen as women, mostly) or muscular (for men & those seen as men, mostly) is bound to affect anyone and everyone. and that for Me Personally it helped to see fat people who were happy and proud in their bodies and realizing it didn't have to be the end of the world

and again i REALLY did not like hearing this as a teenager im trying to say it very gently but it pissed me off too when i was in the trenches . Just think abt it ok . it helped me a lot

this month i will be attempting november.

not sure what to put as the caption but. yeah!!!!

Here’s my take on this.

Intersex bodies do not need correcting, intersex bodies are not unnatural. Intersex people deserve autonomy.

Stop nonconsensual intersex surgeries.

that one time last year when i tried rewatching hannibal while stoned and ended up drawing this in ms paint

guess who successfully rewatched hannibal and finally finished the show 🥳
