While the world celebrates the New Year, we are freezing inside a tent.
People are laughing, celebrating, feeling warm.
And here we are—shaking from the cold, soaked by rain, struggling to survive.
My name is Reem.
We lost our home. We lost everything.

Ahmad sends greetings to everyone who has supported him. He's relieved to have made it to 2026 - there were times when that looked really unlikely - but he still needs help, most urgently for his mum's medicine. chuffed.org/project/157281 @mommunism.bsky.social @pepsffk.bsky.social @fairshare.help 🍉

I am a father to a sick child, afraid of dying helpless.
My son has a thyroid condition and needs daily treatment. Our home was destroyed, my income is gone, and today I live with my children in a tent, shivering, hungry.
If there is still compassion, please help or share.

Please, my children are suffering at night. It's bitterly cold, and rainwater has flooded our home, soaking all our clothes and blankets. I need just $300 to buy a blanket. Please, for my children's sake! Any help would save us. We are extremely cold.

My 8 kids are living in freezing cold without a warm shelter, blankets, or food.
They are shivering now
We urgently need a tent. They are sleeping in the open air, freezing cold.
We are trying to raise $200 for a tent before it's too late.

A challenge for us. You know Ruaa (now DELETED, itsmeio.bsky.social) relies on this app to feed her family. Asking for help was already so degrading + she barely has internet. So...how many $5 weekly pledges can we get by Friday to ensure help even when banned?

Self-portrait thread 🧵
Part 10

merryrobin.bsky.social Robin (she/he-ella/él) @merryrobin.bsky.social · Nov 18
Caterina or Catharina van Hemessen (1528 – after 1565) was a Flemish Renaissance painter. She is the earliest Flemish woman for whom there is verifiable extant work.
Her self-portrait from 1548 may be the earliest known self-portrait of an artist at work.
#WomensArt
Copying from website: Van Hemessen is shown at half-length and holding a brush, looking outwards as if at her own image as she records it on the oak panel in front of her. She has only begun work on the depicted painting, no background has been put down, and only a sketch of her head can be seen. Her face is painted with soft brush strokes, while the textures of her gown are distinguished using a wider variety of brushmarks. In the main image, the artist has shown herself elegantly clothed in a black brocade dress with red velvet sleeves. While such an outfit would have been impractical for an artist working with oils and brushes, her clothes are intended to indicate her social rank and attribute personal dignity. Her arms are outsized in proportion to the rest of her body. There are a number of deliberate contradictions and explorations of mirror images at play. Van Hemessen holds the brush with her right hand suggesting she has reversed the image of herself that she would have seen in the mirror. Her head, as shown on the panel that she is apparently working on, is undersized and situated on the top left. That is opposite to the position her head appears in the portrait painting. Her head is turned in the direction of the viewer, but her eyes do not meet ours. Typical of her work, the background is plain and dark and gives no indication of the space occupied by the sitter.

The self-portrait has become a favorite category, so I'm threading all of them that I've posted for over a year.

This is part 6.

Sarah Cecilia Harrison (1863 – 1941) was an Irish artist, a feminist, and the first woman allowed to serve on Dublin City Council.
Self-portrait, 1889.
#WomensArt
With a realistic, nostalgic style, the artist is depicted looking at herself, mid painting. She is wearing a white and blue stripped painter coat with a black bow tie. Her hair is held back. She has light blue eyes, and an interesting bum chin. She is seated against a dark blue background, holding a painters palette and a set of brushes.

Julia's family were kept awake late last night by the sound of artillery fire in eastern Gaza. They're longing for a real end to the war, a chance to rebuild and live in safety. Donations help them to survive in the meantime. tinyurl.com/SamaasFamily @mommunism.bsky.social @pepsffk.bsky.social #Gaza

A plea to the world: My five kids, Jamil, Ahmed, Jude, Joan, and Elif, and my wife, who suffers from a heart valve condition, are sinking in the mud after the rain flooded our tent and toppled it. We urgently need $150 to buy a new tent.🥶🥶

H’s family hasn’t received a direct donation since August, and before that, April (right before we formed the giving circle)—it’s easier for us to get their monthly rent via the giving circle.

But as they don’t have an individual link like the other families, any support is welcome: tiny.cc/HelpH

This person "H" wishes to remain annonymous, so you either donate directly to Hope Giving Circle chuffed page or to Divya's paypal link above.

There are plenty of information over that page... They have credibility.
