I am making a post on behalf of Ibrahim and his family of 28 who are trying to escape genocide in Gaza.

This campaign has been vetted

Ibrahim has said: "We are living through a very hard time in Gaza. We don’t have basic needs, and danger is everywhere. Prices have gone up, making it hard to survive. Our family of 28, mostly children, had hoped to raise money to leave Gaza, but now, our only goal is to feed our kids until the borders open. We have lowered our target to $30,000 CAD. Please, help us by sharing and supporting our campaign—our children need your help. We are reaching out with hope—please don’t leave us alone."

Please help Ibrahim and his family survive!

Your donation and participation is the lifeline that we truly need in these difficult circumstances. I thank everyone who helped and participated in my campaign. The goal is still far away. I hope for help. The goal is 30,000 Canadian dollars. I got 7,102 Canadian dollars in 11 months. It is progressing slowly.💔🙏🫂

"It took me TWO years to finish this sketch book!" Well that's cuz you're not fuckin sketching. Those are fully painted pieces dawg that's a renderedbook. I've gone through four sketchbooks in my off time this year alone I just draw stupid faces and shit for fun. pussy up like the rest of us and start drawing stick figures with guns

I can't express how damaging this has been to young artists.

Of the many things I struggled to explain to my students "Your sketch book is mainly for practicing techniques, practicing new things, NOTES, and dumb doodles that come to your mind that can inspire you later or help lead you to a good idea. It is NOT where you draw you final pieces. Please kill that darling," is pretty high on the list.

I legit started calling it a "first draft" book to activate prior knowledge from English because influences have destroyed the concept of sketchbooks.

And you can have multiple sketchbooks that serve different functions. They're tools. I have a mixed media fully-rendered bullshit sketchbook made of scraps, I have a normie store bought book for doodles and warm ups and thumbnails, and I have a small travel sketchbook. And they (except for the first one) get finished whenever they get finished -- finishing a sketchbook is not a goal, it's a consequence of sketching.

being into things that are rare/unpopular fucking sucks i have no idea why people pride themselves over it

me (with the intention of starting a conversation on the rare thing): i like (rare thing)

person: oh so like (popular thing i don't like or am neutral about)?

me: no

person: i love (popular thing)

person 2: me too!

(entire group now talking about the popular thing)

following weird horny furries who are into shit like pooltoys and transformation and stuff is enrichment. the vitamins and minerals of posting

once you get over your ass and realise you will never get some people and that’s ok you are basically immune to right wing fearmongering. otherkin? none of my fucking business
