Reminder that notes/online attention are not a reliable indicator of how well a campaign is going.

You might see fundraising posts with thousands of notes on your dash daily and think to yourself "this person must be doing fine!"

I wish that were true. I saw a post earlier referring to people with fundraisers as "those fortunate enough to have internet clout" but unfortunately internet clout is not a currency that can buy food and other necessities. It's only a testament to how much effort that person spends desperately networking in order to make ends meet, and often not succeeding at that. These people do not have an advantage.

I spotlight for @dr-anas96 and his posts consistently get a lot of notes. He's vetted here.

Here's an interview in English and Spanish he did for AJ+. and also here's a recent article about him in Spanish.

And where does that get him?

He's barely at 19% of his goal, as of today, December 13th, which marks 6 months since he started fundraising.

Anas is slowly dying of starvation and of his illnesses that he cannot currently get treated for. Don't be fooled by the amount of notes this will get. If you can spare a dollar please don't hesitate to donate here.

I really hate it when white people try to jokify things they identify / percieve as Islamic, because they absolutely do not understand the context of things but want to laugh at us. And it ends with unintentionally horrible situations like this:

"By Allah, you people are dogs, I will continue as usual" was something being stated by a television cook in response to some Sunni-targetting sexual harassment on the show. He followed it up by stating his support for the defunct anti-Shia policies that Saddam Hussein held to massacre Shia people in Iraq. "You people are dogs" was him dehumanizing Shia people before him stating he believed Shia people should be wiped out. I was already uncomfortable when that still was getting turned into a meme by other SWANA and Muslims. So what makes these crackers think this is for them to get involved in? Fuck off. Stop trying to butt in on everything and try and get a piece of the pie. There are places you simply don't belong to, and certainly not without putting in the effort to connect with the people therein.

PS: every cracker who says "Insha'allah", "Alhamdulillah", and "Masha'allah" as a joke should eat shit.

(Repost) Comms still up with 8 slots, 3 for busts, 3 for half body, and 2 for full body! Each listing also allows for up to one extra character to be added on at half price!

***If you don't want to commission me that's also fine i'd apreciate just a regular kofi dono or just sharing this around bc my finances are low, I've been averaging on $20 a month and struggling to pay hospital bills from earlier this year. i will also be considering opening a google doc or some other order form to allow payments via cashapp if there's any interest. Anyways heres a general breakdown of the pricing system and my will's/wont's under the cut:

So how do I (you, the buyer) choose what I want?

SO when you open up the request form it should look something like this!

We're using the bust order as our example here. At its base price, $15, it is set for the black and white option. If this is what you would like, then you don't have to worry about the add ons at all and you go straight to submitting your request! Now, if you're choosing add ons, it'll look something like these:

The first would be an example of an order of a flat color bust + an extra character bust with flat coloring as well. The color option adds the extra $10 (to match the listed price on the poster for $25), and the extra character with flat coloring adds half of that $25 to the order (well a little less bc i knocked off the .50 cents) which is why it comes out to $37.

The second would be an example of a black and white bust order with an added black and white bust character. This just adds an extra $7 to the price totaling $22.

What will you (the artist, me Brutus) draw?

If you want me to draw your oc or fanart of your favorite character I GOT U!!!

I'm also comfortable drawing blood and gore though I'll have to keep it on the lighter side (I enjoy blood if it isnt obvious by my url though so depending on what you want we might be able to go a little further with that).

I can do characters with armor as well, however I will require a reference of some sort from you, the client, as I'm frankly not going to attempt armor off the dome. I won't design armor myself either.

Pinups (not full nsfw due to how much of a struggle it is to navigate different site policies) and other suggestive works are also a-ok! a tity does not bother me if that wasn't made clear by my commission card 👍🏽

What will you (the artist, me Brutus) NOT draw?

Im not comfortable trying to draw real people as of right now sorry! I'm just not really a caricature or realistic portrait artist but this may change in the future.

I also won't do furry/anthro just because that isn't my forte as I haven't practiced drawing animalistic characters. There r plenty of talented furry artists for you to choose from and I could talk to someone to guide you to a few .

(I CAN do more humanoid fantasy characters however. like mermaids, satyrs, etc)

More extreme gore and body horror is also off the table. (so like spilling guts stuff like that)

I may love mecha but as it is like armor and a bit more extreme, I'm not drawing it sorry. And also as stated above I'm not drawing armor regardless without a good reference.

Certain fandoms are a no-go for me due to my own comfort. A quick list would be: mogeko games, omori, south park, hetalia, attack on titan, mcyt, hazbin hotel/helluva boss. if you're not sure just ask!

I reserve the right to decline any comission request for any reason. Getting paid is nice but my comfort is nicer yknow.

And that should cover everything! If you still need to ask me anything, my messages are open. Thank you so much for reading and a little extra thank you if you decide to commission me ❤️

Like every good parent, @amalashuor's dream is for her daughter Mariam to grow up healthy and happy.

If love alone was all it took, then I would rest assured that Mariam would have the most wonderful childhood every child deserves, because Amal is an exemplary mother with a great heart and all the love in the world for her child.

As she updates me with photos of Mariam, I'm always surprised how much she's grown since the last time I saw her, and it hurts my heart that I see more than simply growth in that difference; I see the effects of malnutrition, exhaustion, and stress.

I hold hope that Mariam will soon rest on a comfortable bed with a full belly, and not the dirty tent shown in the photo on the left, but for her to hold out long enough for her mother to see that moment come to reality, she needs your support.

Please donate to Marah. Her family has seen and been through more than anybody should in one lifetime.

The world is very cruel towards Gaza, all governments and presidents talk about the 70 hostages being held, no one talks about the 2 million people who are being starved, killed and displaced daily in addition to dying from the severe cold,

The Gazan citizen was exposed to all kinds of death. What we witnessed in Gaza on the ground, I swear we did not see it in Hollywood. Imagine that citizens and children were burned on television screens and no one, including the leaders, came out to condemn it. Condemns these heinous acts against Palestine We are literally exposed to all kinds of killing, hunger, severe cold, and suffering in all its forms. Words cannot describe what we are going through. Please help us to survive this devastating war.

My family needs you more than ever and any donation helps us. Donation link here

My father Yasser went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with bladder cancer. He urgently needs surgery and treatment.

He cannot access the necessary treatment here in Gaza. Every day his illness goes untreated, the cancer continues to spread throughout his body. This is why we urgently need funds to cover the costs of his treatment and travel as soon as possible.

If you help us reach our goal, you will be saving my father’s life. Please don’t let us lose our father, who is also a husband, a grandfather, and a vital part of our family. We have already endured so much.

Please help us close our goal as soon as possible! Please someone donate to me. I want donations to cover the costs of the operation, treatment, travel, and everything. Please someone donate.

so. Unfortunately during the repair for my power steering system that I asked for help regarding, they also did an inspection free of charge and found several other issues. I told them I couldn't do any of those today because I didn't have extra money, but they advised me not to put them off too long. The estimated cost of those repairs based on research and quotes they've given me in the past is $1650 on the low end, but more likely to be around $2275. I make 2000 a month and all of these are fairly immediate car repairs. Some of these I may be able to get family to help with, in which case the goal will decrease. On top of that I know gofundme takes a cut, and I will need to pay ride shares on any days I need to leave my car in the shop.

Again, I am very sorry to ask this, but I've already spent $1350 in other repairs and maintenance. I thank anyone who can help me sincerely.

Please take a moment of your time to read about @ma7moudgaza2 and how you can do your part to help.

Mahmoud and his family are forced to endure more than anyone ever should: losing their home and loved ones, multiple displacements, surviving the Al Shifa Hospital massacre, freezing cold winter with little to no shelter, lack of food and funds to afford necessities, and famine as a result. On top of everything, they lost their previous campaign and Mahmoud has to worry about university tuition fees.

They have raised $22,532 / $35,0000. If you can spare even $5, I cannot overstate how much it helps. Especially when we all come together to do our part.

Mahmoud has requested if someone with 📷 Instagram could create a post for his family's campaign. If so, please reach out to him, the more people he reaches the higher the likelihood for donations. 🙏

Mutual Aid Request!

During my car repair a few weeks ago the mechanic found several other issues I need to address. One of these is particularly urgent, and thankfully it's the cheapest repair of the lot. I still need to raise 200$ to cover it! I still need help with the rest, but this one is again, the most needed at the moment.
