Unity Through Art: A Call for Global Support🌈🌈🌈🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🌈🌈🏳️‍⚧️🌈

As we continue to face difficult times, I want to share something very special that represents both hope and unity. My dear friend, @pyuavlin created this beautiful piece of art that speaks to where I come from and what it means to stand together in adversity.

The artwork features crested cranes and a rainbow, two powerful symbols in my culture. The cranes represent unity, togetherness, and resilience—qualities we rely on every day as LGBTIQ refugees. The rainbow, a universal symbol of diversity and hope, also reflects our pride and determination as a community that is often marginalized, but never defeated.

Here in the refugee camp, things are getting tougher. Food is becoming scarcer, and many of us are falling sick with little access to medical care. But just as these cranes stand together, we continue to stand with each other, holding on to hope for a better tomorrow.

I share this artwork with the world today not just as a piece of beauty, but as a call for support. We need help to survive these tough months ahead—food, medical care, and basic necessities are becoming more and more out of reach. We are also working to support some of our friends who are about to be resettled in Canada. They need essentials for travel, and our fundraiser is struggling to meet its goals.

Pyu’s art reminds me that even in the darkest of times, unity can get us through. I am asking for your help. Whether it’s sharing our GoFundMe link, donating, or simply keeping us in your thoughts, any form of support can go a long way. Together, like these cranes, we can rise above the storm.

Thank you for standing with us.

We Need Your Support Now More Than Ever

Hello friends.

We are LGBTIQ refugees from East Africa, and we are facing unimaginable challenges in the refugee camps where we have been displaced. Every day, we struggle to survive in hostile environments filled with homophobia and persecution. Our lives are constantly at risk, and we need your help to make it through these difficult times.

Despite the challenges, we have some good news to share! The first group of LGBTIQ refugees from our community is finally heading to Canada. This is a huge milestone for us, and it wouldn't have been possible without your incredible support. We are deeply grateful to everyone who has stood by us, and we ask that you continue to support us in whatever way you can.

But we still have a long way to go. Many of us remain in these camps, living in fear and uncertainty. We are asking, kindly, for your donations to our fundraiser. Every penny counts—whether it’s for food, medication, or shelter, your contribution helps us survive another day.

Even though it's difficult to keep asking, we can’t stop. Our lives and futures depend on your generosity. Please, if you can, donate to our cause. Together, we can create a safer future for our community.

Thank you for your continued support, and let’s keep moving forward.

As much as I like Darklina and Aleksander…. He would not stop to help her up, I doubt he would even notice/care about either of them

Imagine Mal doesn’t see the Darkling’s coach in time and Alina gets run over before anything happens

[lestatslefttit]

being fixated on characters from your ttrpg campaign sucks especially if the campaign ended because you wanna read and write about it and see cool art about it and constantly talk to people about it but the fandom is literally only you. and maybe just some guy you see every saturday.

Maybe not siblings considering the lore we get about Mal’s family tree in Ruin and Rising but I wouldn’t be surprised if they made up the names on the spot

In the begining of Shadow and Bone, Ana Kuya tells the Grisha examiners that they think Alina and Mal are around 8 and they can’t be sure because both are orphans, but literally in the next page she calls both of them by their full government names. How to they know that. The only possibility I can think of is that when they came to the orphanage they knew their full names but not their ages, which makes no sense to me

TW: weight, body image, venting

Gaining weight is weird. I hate my body. This is the happiest and most confident I’ve been since I was a kid. I’m heavier than I’ve ever been. None of my clothes fit anymore. I hated a lot of my clothes. The new stuff that fits me feels like me. A lot of the clothes I lost fit me since high school. Is this my natural weight or am I slowly killing myself? My mom thinks I’m disgusting and she keeps telling me I’m killing myself. I think I’d want to die if I was the person she wants me to be.

censorship

[lestatslefttit]

Twitch is gonna start kinda censoring queer people and it would be really helpful if you could read the next few sentences and then also go to a link and click the word vote.

They're implementing a new rule where if you discuss "sensitive social issues" at all you have to flag your streams as such, these issues include things like war and political unrest but also any lgbtq topics (once again our existence is political).

Essentially a streamer will have to choose between never ever mentioning anything queer (or even just discussing their own life if they're queer themselves) or flagging every stream with "sensitive social issues" and scaring away 90% of viewers.

If you have a twitch account you can go here and log in and click vote. They do listen. Please vote.
