After the recent b*ombing of the neighboring tower, we were forced to relocate for the eleventh time from the place we had been seeking refuge. Sadly, we no longer have a home and are constantly searching for a safe spot to shelter from the ongoing bombardments.

In the past few days, my three-month-old son Khaled’s condition has worsened significantly. He developed severe chest allergies from inhaling dust and ro*cket smoke, accompanied by a high fever. We couldn’t find a hospital to provide the necessary care, so we had to go to a private doctor, which cost us a substantial amount of money that we barely have.

The doctor recommended four nebulization sessions daily to ease his condition, but providing these sessions has been nearly impossible due to the power outages. We’ve relied on kind people with solar panels who allowed us to use their nebulizer, but securing nighttime doses has been a challenge. We’ve had to reduce the number of sessions despite their critical importance to Khaled's well-being.

As for me, I have developed severe allergies and cannot find appropriate treatment. The pain worsens daily, especially with the rising temperatures. Each day becomes increasingly difficult and dan*gerous. I live in constant worry for my son, fearing the worsening of his condition amid this severe shortage of treatment and care.

This is not a life but a continuous series of suffering that we endure day after day. In these harsh conditions, every donation or share of our campaign link could be a lifeline for us. We need your support more than ever.

Please help give my baby and me a better chance at life. If you're unable to donate, sharing our story would mean so much. Spread the link across your social media. Additionally, sharing my account can help others follow our updates and support us.

Ahmed & his sisters were studying to become doctors but that ended when the genøcide started. Despite this Ahmed still studies. He tells me his dream is to one day become a specialised doctor so he has no time to lose. Can u imagine studying under literal bombs falling. Everyday I see P/lestinians still striving for their goals despite living through the worst possible nightmare. Pls don't give up on Ahmed & his sisters. All they want is to continue studying so they can become doctors one day.

Donations/reposts is much appreciated

I know a lot of folks don't understand the danger but a Black woman and a Trans woman becoming unhoused is a death sentence especially with multiple illnesses. A death sentence. In the deep south. 100 degree heat advisories and highest crime rate in the country. A death sentence.

This is urgent. Black women need your help. Trans women need your help. Lesbians need your help. Disabled women need your help.

We need help with rent after multiple setbacks and it's now 2 days late.

We need to reach the remaining $303.

And so I found respite in the small things, long enough for me to discover which finality was mine. I suppose I am saying that I cried too.

I’ve been wanting to sketch out this Friends at the Table quote for a long time, and finally did it since it feels even more relevant now

Hi guys, would absolutely mean the whole world to me if you guys could please share my tipping jar, inrprnt or patreon. My mom has been in and out of the hospital bc of what was at first her glaucoma and and sepsis recovery... And every time she goes, they keep finding smth wrong. Today is another Big Checkup to see if she is healthy enough to finally do her eye surgery.

I do commissions, but because two of my devices broke this month, I've accumulated a work debt and had to raise my prices. I've no wiggle room at all, and both imprnt and patreon has been bugging out. Having so much trouble earning a living.

Would absolutely feel so so grateful if you guys who like my art and have anything to spare can be a patron, I post several exclusive drawings every month- or you pick up a drawing on my inprnt, or directly send me a tip. It sincerely helps truckloads. Thank you so much. If you see this, it would mean everything if you could spare me a retweet.. please and thank you.

i do not at all mean this in a perjorative manner, but i do think it’s important to be able to consume a piece of media and go, “i’m not the audience for this” and be able to just walk away 

there doesn’t have to be something wrong or “problematic” about something for a person to not like it. personal taste is personal taste. but something not doing it for you doesn’t mean it automatically has to be wrong or bad. it’s just not for you.

There’s been several times when I’ve watched a thing and been like, they clearly did what they intended to do, and did it well, and I don’t want any part of it. This is a high quality and deeply unpleasant piece of art.

“This is a high quality and deeply unpleasant piece of art” is a wonderful line, I love it, I feel it in my soul

too good a take to be left in the tags

Recently, my son said to me after seeing a ballet on television: “It’s beautiful but I don’t like it.” And I thought, Are many grown-ups capable of such a distinction? It’s beautiful, but I don’t like it. Usually, our grown-up thinking is more along the lines of: I don’t like it, so it’s not beautiful. What would it meant to separate those two impressions for art making and for art criticism?
