I love your rug hooking! Are you ok with people copying your patterns for personal use?
thank you so much! honestly so far almost all the rug hooking things I've posted have been gifts or commissions so I'd rather not people copy them, but I appreciate you asking! :0
drew some creatures at the amnh :0
They're in dire need for NOMAD esims in Gaza! Please refer to the website on how to buy esims
buying esims is a bit more involved than some may realize-- there are different plans available (1GB, 3GB, 5GB, 10GB), all different prices, all of which expire, meaning that you need to continuously replenish, or "top-off", someone's data plan once the esim is activated
(well-- it's not "needed" perse, but having a plan expire means the esim user must go through the arduous process of activating a new esim- which as stated above, are in extremely limited supply
maintaining an esim may not be feasible for everyone. if that's the case for you- i strongly recommend putting money towards crips for esims. this project not only purchases esims, but keeps 3000+ esims active on behalf of their donors
been busy drawing sea critters
I didn't realize hotd was only gonna be 8 episodes also not a lot of dragon-ing either
now more than ever, please vet gofundmes before you donate.
copy and paste descriptions into google to see if there are scam accounts reusing the same story, check to see if there are any images/updates on the fund with faces. go to the original blog, check if the post asking for help is only an hour old, or even less than that. refrain from donating if all it links to is a PayPal account, without any further confirmation of identity.
it’s horrible to say but it’s never been a better time for scam artists to exploit your generosity, when things seem so dire, and I’ve donated to campaigns before only to realise later that the entire story was stolen from an actual family in need. due diligence might take a few more minutes out of your day but at least you won’t be sending money to an opportunistic scumbag.
for campaigns on tumblr: please check out @/el-shab-hussein's list of verified fundraisers here on tumblr and also @/nabulsi. they both do incredible work at vetting campaigns.
there is also this spreadsheet made by @/nabulsi and @/el-shab-hussein.
other places to find vetted fundraisers are the operation olive branch spreadsheet and also gazafunds.
I love how seasmoke kinda has those game of thrones dragon neck frills
and in ep. 5 that looming shot of caraxes in the background behind that one guy on horseback turning away and his head is slowly lowering into the shot and he's rumbling and not the little seagull warbles he makes
god I love vhagar and the vibes of she's like an old eldritch god and how everyone stops and stares when she shows up
also some spoilers below
Dear Reader,🌹
I am Dr. Mohammed Aldeeb, a dedicated medical professional specializing in emergency care, hailing from the Gaza Strip. 🇵🇸 ✌🕊
However, the ravages of war tore through our lives😓, forcing me to abandon my cherished home and the familiar walls of the hospital where I once found solace😥💔.
Despite the adversities that besieged me, I persevered in my pursuit of healing. My determination led me to Al-Azhar University, where I embraced the role of a teaching assistant, imparting knowledge to aspiring medical students with unwavering dedication. Dreams of specializing in internal medicine beckoned me back to Al-Shifa Hospital, but alas, the brutal onslaught of war reduced it to rubble, shattering my aspirations in its wake.
In the chaos and carnage of conflict, I sustained injuries, and the sanctuary of my home was obliterated, leaving my family and me destitute and displaced. Yet, amid the ruins, a flicker of hope persists. At Al-Aqsa Hospital, I continue to extend a helping hand to those in need, drawing strength from the resilience instilled in me through years of education and service.
Today, we find ourselves sheltering in a humble tent, stripped of our possessions and livelihoods. The loss of my job, my home, and the comforting presence of my loved ones weighs heavily on my heart. Nevertheless, I refuse to surrender to despair, clinging to the belief that brighter days lie ahead.
It is with a heavy heart that I reach out to you, dear reader, seeking assistance in securing safe passage for myself and my family from the turmoil of Gaza. With your kindness and generosity, I hope to reclaim the path to realizing my medical vocation, enabling me to provide for my loved ones and contribute to the healing of our wounded world.
Your compassionate aid would mean the world to me and my family.
With gratitude and hope,
Dr. Mohammed Aldeeb
Gaza Strip

@yeetbean hello! Iris Complex is a horror mystery webcomic written by Josh Tierney that I worked on! :0 it's about a girl who wakes up in a field with no memories and has to figure out what the heck is going on. there's worms, a guy who's a smash hit with the guitar, and demon noodle dogs! you can also read the whole thing now on webtoon :O
I got these back to back haHA and yes I have I enjoyed it a lot :'D I loved seeing weird little creatures/speculative biology
@pien-art hullo and awhh thank you! and ooohh nice! and oh man I don't know anything about dyeing haha; I've gotten my yarns from daiso, ebay, etsy, facebook market, local thrift shop, WEBS yarn website (basically lots of different places haha) for the wool strips/sari ribbon I've only gotten them from etsy so far. I tend to try and get yarns that are variegated/multicolor (noro yarn has some really gorgeous multicolor yarn but they can be pretty expensive hence me looking on etsy/ebay people will sell them at a discount sometimes) plus in general you can find a lot of good deals/discounted yarn on etsy
oh! :O congrats on finding me ahaha omg and yeah course! it's up on inprnt over yonder
speaking of rug hooking I stg there was another ask about rug hooking but I might've accidentally deleted it? >:'D apologies. it was something about do I tend to buy multicolored yarns only/how many different types of yarn go into a piece (I think). and yes I tend to get the multicolored/variegated yarns (which I chop up and wind into little balls of the individual colors to make it easier for myself when I do projects haha). as for how many types I honestly wouldn't be able to say ahhsa; the leafy one the main body was pretty much all one type of yarn with some minor details in another yarn while the background was made up of a lot of types but it honestly depends.
