I talked to my friend Soso on Whatsapp today. She and her family, including two young children, are about to face winter in Gaza without new blankets or warm clothes. It would mean a lot to me and Soso's family if you could send them a little help! gofund.me/52ef85905

I never imagined I would reach this level of pressure…
We’re only £100 short to complete this month’s rent.

Please help me secure the roof under which my children can sleep safely…
So their tomorrow can be a little less frightening, and a little more peaceful. 💔

My nerves did the thing last night so I have to be very very good today 🙃
After the very horrible no good carpal tunnel flare-up in August I gave myself a new rule that I have to put on my braces and take a break every 250 words but I keep hyperfocusing and I broke 500 words without no break this morning -_-

‼️CALL FOR HELP‼️

I really hate to do this but I’m at the end of my rope since he’s started feeding my art into ai now:

If you have a tumblr, can you please help me report and put attention on my racist stalker?

my friend paintbrushdjinn's art is so sick but they don't want to be on social media so it falls upon me to bring blessings unto the people
I paid a local artist to make these Zanghong stickers to hand out at last zinefest and I love them so insanely much I honestly just want to have these on hand for the rest of my life. Make 1000 Lotuses blow up for unlimited Zanghongs
