This campaign is for Khawla, @/mohiy-gaza 's sister (confirmation below cut). Mohiy has been vetted by 90-ghost here

Khawla and her husband are rasing funds to help them and their 3 children: Muhammad (5), Sham (3), and Ghazal (1 1/2). They need help affording food, clean water, shelter, baby supplies, and medicine to treat Muhammad's hepatitis.

The funds will help them survive and afford evacuation to a safer place, where Khawla's children will be able to live in peace and return to school. Completing their fundraiser is impossible without support from people like you. Please extend your support to Khawla's family by sharing and donating, even if all you can spare is $5. Every share and every dollar will bring them one step closer to reaching their goal and affording evacuation.

"I am Khawla from Gaza, 34 years old. I stand before you as a person trying to support her family of 5: Me, my husband, and my three children: Muhammad, who is 5 years old; Sham, who is 3 years old; and Ghazal, who is nearly a year and a half old. In our terrible conditions, My son Muhammad contracted hepatitis from drinking contaminated water, and both he and Sham are deprived of their right to register in kindergarten, daycare, or other educational institutions. Additionally, due to the circumstances and lack of income, necessary benefits like milk are not provided to baby Ghazal.🫂💙🥺

With that, my husband's livelihood ha been completely destroyed since we are no longer entitled to work; and we expect to live under miserable conditions in tents in Mawasi Khan Yunis. It is difficult for me to find the words to describe what we face every day in Gaza; with no food, no medicine, no clean drinking water; with oppression, helplessness, psychological pressures, doubts, and daily traumas caused by everything around us and inability to care for loved ones. the fear of danger, disease and death never leaves us🍉🫶

Now, I find myself in this difficult situation, and humbly ask for your help to save the lives of my family, especially my children, by getting us out of Gaza or helping us have money for medication or other necessities we may have access to. Asking for help is not easy, but we were left with no choice because we want to survive and we strive to rebuild our broken lives. We are very grateful for any help you can provide, no matter how small, as your help will contribute greatly to alleviating our suffering. I hope you will share my story with your family and friends."🍉🍉💙🇵🇸🇵🇸

While the world celebrates the new year with lights, joy, and warmth, we in Gaza are trapped in darkness and terror. No decorations, no festivities—only the deafening roar of planes and bombings shattering the silence of our nights.

In fragile tents and broken shelters, we fight to survive the biting cold and the devastation that surrounds us. The rain seeps through, the wind cuts deep, and yet, somehow, we cling to hope.

You are our last lifeline—don’t leave us to face this nightmare alone. Your kindness can be the light that breaks through this darkness and the warmth that saves us from despair.

Even a small donation—€5 or €10—could mean food for a child, warmth for a family, or a glimpse of safety in this endless fear.

Please, don’t turn away. Help us. Your support is the only thing standing between us and the abyss

Donate here to save my family and bring a glimmer of hope amidst this darkness

Help Mohamad reunite his family and clear his debt

I am reaching out on behalf of my dear friend, Mohamad S., who is facing one of the most challenging times of his life. Mohamad is 37 years old and left his homeland in 2015 in search of a safer and better future. He’s a kind, hardworking man, and his small family has always been his greatest priority.

Living abroad, Mohamad has recently endured unimaginable loss and financial strain. Amidst the ongoing conflict in his homeland, his mother passed away, leaving behind his sister and her five young children—the last remaining members of his immediate family.

As the situation worsened, Mohamad managed to help his sister and her children escape to safety in Egypt, covering their immediate needs and securing a temporary refuge for them. Since then, he has been fully responsible for providing everything they need to survive during this transition.

In his efforts to support his family and cope with this devastating loss, Mohamad has found himself deeply in debt. To make matters even more difficult, he recently underwent knee surgery, which limits his ability to return to work for the foreseeable future. This has made it even harder for him to manage his financial responsibilities and the pressing need to provide his family with a stable future.

Mohamad is now working to bring his sister and her five children to join him in Belgium, where he hopes they can find stability and opportunity after all they’ve endured. This transition, however, requires significant resources that he is currently unable to meet alone.

For privacy reasons, we are not sharing Mohamad’s full name, as he has chosen to keep his identity discreet. While he initially refused the idea of asking for help, I couldn’t stand by and watch him struggle alone. I insisted on doing this for him because he deserves a chance to overcome these challenges and provide a stable future for his family.

Your contribution will help Mohamad repay the debt incurred during this difficult time, cover ongoing living expenses for his family, and assist with the costs involved in bringing them safely to Belgium.

Mohamad has been a good friend of mine for years, and I’ve always admired his resilience and generosity. Any support, no matter the size, will make an incredible difference in helping Mohamad and his family rebuild their lives after these painful experiences.

Thank you for reading his story and considering helping a man who has always done everything he can for his loved ones.

We’ve now made it to 2025. Quite a busy albeit tough at times year for me. I got to graduate from university on time with my cohort, got to do more solos for choir and even sing one at commencement, my team’s student film managed to win an award at one festival and was a finalist for three other festivals, got my first car ( a used one but still), landed a job, started doing commissions, and probably a lot of other things that I can’t think off the top of my head.

At least this year, I’m not ending it as exhausted as I was at the end of last year, although I was still hanging on by a thread at the beginning of this year. And when things stop being busy and you’re still working on college student survival mode™️, you tend to struggle for a bit with no knowing what to do with yourself.

That trying so hard to be in control and trying to seem like I can handle everything by myself, that ended up backfiring at times. That because it was done easily, can I really be satisfied with the outcome (Yes, yes you can future me).

Because of that, a big theme that I do wanna focus on in this new year is just taking it one day at a time and that I don’t have to stick to doing something forever. After all, people constantly evolve, and I need to give myself permission to not stay stuck. That if I really want to do something, I should just go do it. That even if I’m not perfect at something, make mistakes/am wrong about something, or something doesn’t stick, that it doesn’t make or break me as a person.

Which also ties in to me wanting to try to remember that I don’t need to be perfect, to be what I think people want, or useful for people to like me and want to stick with me. That’s more of an overall goal rather than just one for this year, but it’s good to start somewhere.

So here’s to 2025. Not entirely sure how this year will turn out, especially with how uncertain these times are, but I’m determined to live my life no matter what. Happy New Year y’all!

Hello, My name is Hanan Al-Salout, and I am writing to you with a heart heavy with sorrow. 😓💔

The war has destroyed everything we had, leaving us in a worn-out tent, battling the cold and hunger.

My baby Yaseen is suffering from severe infections, and my elderly mother-in-law can no longer walk without help after a coma caused by anemia. 😢

Our health is fading, and we’ve already lost so much. All I ask is for the chance to save my family. We urgently need medical supplies and baby milk and many other essentials to survive. Please, don’t let us become another number On the list of victims in this war. 😥💔

URGENT HELP🚨🚨🚨🍉🇵🇸

Hello,

How do you do ? I hop to be in a good condition.

This is my special campaign

We hope to help us by donating or sharing to others.

Every donation makes a different even if it a small.

As you know, the war began on October 7 and lasted ten months. During this period, we were unable to obtain food, drink, or treatment because we did not have money.

There is no source of income for the family at the present time, so we are unable to buy food, clean water, and medicine, especially after we are afflicted with the ongoing infectious diseases spread in the north like Hepatitis C disease.

Our house has been damaged a lot since the beginning of the war. We are from the north of Gaza and we are still in the north and have not displaced to the south. We displaced 10 times from place to another seeking to safety .

We hope for your help and support, even if only a little.🙏🙏

Happy National Coming Out Day y’all. It’s been about 6 years since I came out as bi, and now it’s been a year since I came out as nonbinary.

Things being scary for our community right now, it’s understandable why some may not want to come out for their own safety. Regardless, coming out is a decision you should make when you want to and when you are safe to.

As for me, I’m gonna continue to try and just live while I’m on my journey with identity. I can’t change how people might feel about it, plus it’s not my job to change people (that’s something people have to want to do on their own after all).

All I ask is that people trust that I’ll live my life the way I want to, trust that I am what I say I am. And if anything were to change in the future, then I’ll let you know.

If I keep holding back on deciding to do things out of fear that I might regret it later, life would remain static for me. If I end up regretting it, then I end up regretting it, oh well (Regret can also be the result of not doing anything. I know I have those types of regrets).

Still, I’m gonna go on this journey regardless if people join me on it or not. I do want people there, especially those that I care the most about. It’s up to them if they wanna join or not. I’ll just be here as a they/them causing mayhem til then.

To my fellow queer and trans/nonbinary friends and family, do whatever you need to do to stay safe during these times. Do whatever you need to do to keep moving forward.

For now, I offer this self portrait that I finished earlier in the week. Normally, I use my more cartoonish style. I tried that at first. I ended up switching to making it look a bit more realistic after finding it would work better. Enjoy!

This is a 3D lighting project I did for CG360 that I did last fall. This process for getting this piece done was…interesting to put it nicely. I did put in the value thumbnail next to it so you could see where it started. There were many things that went wrong when getting the final result, such as ZBrush being hard to navigate, me increasing the topology too much to where the original Maya file became unusable, then I had only 2 to 3 weeks to model everything in Maya on top of doing work for my other classes, etc. So if some of it looks wonky, that’s just cause I’m not really a 3D modeler. The models do work for what this piece is though( thank god these aren’t being used as models that you can animate, cause in that aspect they are horrendous). Plus for being work that had to be compressed into 2 to 3 weeks, it came out better than I expected. People around me have even said that they like it because of the stylization.

Ultimately doing this project showed me, that even if a million things go wrong, it’s still possible to create something good out of it. That you can still make it work even with limited resources, you’ll just have to find different ways around it. And that part of learning is learning that sometimes, there are just some skills that are just not our thing, and that’s ok. Mad respect to any 3D modelers and rigging people out there, this stuff is not easy. It’ll probably be a bit before I touch 3D modeling again. As for these characters, I do want to explore more with them eventually. Guess you’ll just have to find out. Enjoy!

This will be a repost from Insta cause I want to upload more art on here. So this will be an art dump from my time at college/university. So with that context, here we go.

As I have now wrapped up at DigiPen, I figured I’d show y’all some of the work I did through all of my junior year through the spring and fall semesters, minus the film stuff (because it’s running through festivals at the moment), and the VFX stuff I did in Unity.

The first one isn’t really a style I that would usually draw in and it’s a bit wonky because of that, though I love Bronwyn to bits and I want to re draw her at some point.

But that does lead me to why I’m posting all of these now. I wanted to show the progression of my work to where I’m at now, even if these aren’t the most most amazing pieces ever.

Plus doing these helped me to become a better artist and to try more to get to where I am now. And there will more to come. Enjoy!

The Terms of Service

(OPEN) So after taking time to figure out details, I am ready to announce that I am finally going to start doing commissions!!! For now, it’ll just be digital paintings. For the types of paintings I’m doing you can find the info in this post.

It’s probably not the best formatting (you can probably tell that graphic design is not my passion nor my speciality. That and I don’t know what my brand is at this point). So the formatting will hopefully improve in the future as I do this.

It is my first time doing this so please be extra patient with me as I figure this out. Like I said in the terms of service, I’m only going to do the first 4 people to request a commission. So please, don’t be too upset if you aren’t able to request one after all the slots are filled. There’s always a chance for a future commission.

If you can’t afford a commission but still want to financially support me, you can always go to my Kofi to tip me. That or buy something from my shops. Both of which are in the Linktree in my bio or pinned (depending on where you see this post). Don’t worry too much if you don’t have much money to spare right now. I appreciate any support I get including sharing my art or posts!

Be sure to read through everything, especially the terms of service. Enjoy!

Update for Tumblr: Since there is a 10 pic limit, the terms of service will be a reblog on this post.
