Donate 2(two) 30-day eSims to Connecting Humanity (@connectinghumanity_ on ig), and I'll draw a mini-portrait of an object or creature that is precious to you. (details under cut!)
Tumblr media
WHAT ARE eSIMS?
ESims are digital SIM cards that allow people to activate a cellular plan and connect to networks without a physical SIM card.
With frequent internet blackouts, eSims are often the only way for people in Gaza to stay connected to the world and each other.
HOW IT WORKS:
1. Follow the instructions at https://linktr.ee/gazaesimsdonor to donate at least 2 eSims.
2. Forward the eSim emails to [email protected], along with a (brief) sketch prompt and up to 4 reference images.
WHAT YOU GET:
For every 2 eSims you donate, you'll receive a digital sketch of a beloved object or creature as a print-quality file (about 5x5in).
Please allow 3 weeks for completion.
EXAMPLES:
your pet
houseplant
espresso machine
bicycle
NO:
humans
multiples
landscapes
abstract concepts
[alt: a digital sketch of a tricolor dog curled into a cute ball, and a timelapse screen recording of the drawing process that ends with the text ‘gaza esims dot com’]

it’s mostly been cats so far, but my sister-in-law broke the pattern with a request for the internet’s emotional support hippo.

just watched COPA 71, a documentary about the "lost" women's world cup- teams from england, italy, argentina, denmark, mexico, and france competed in front of 110k people in azteca stadium, 20 years before the first fifa-approved women's tournament. it's still the highest-attendance women's sporting event ever, and it got buried and forgotten because fifa threw a tantrum about girls playing soccer. absolutely wild.

american tax dollars are funding genocide.
CALL YOUR REPS EVERY DAY
tell them you want:
1) an immediate, permanent ceasefire.
2) to halt military aid to israel, because our money is being used to collectively punish and murder civilians in violation of international humanitarian law.
it's really very easy! you're not going to get pulled into a debate, you're just leaving a message w a machine or an aide.
write yourself a little two sentence script, including your zip code. just recite it, thank the aide for their time, and hang up.
if that feels overwhelming, the 5calls.org app can automate the process for you, and even provides optional scripts.
if the main voicemail is full, call one of their homestate offices. the info is easy to find on their website, or the top right corner in 5calls app
if you don’t have the capacity for a phone call, you can email your reps instead. all have info on their websites.
even easier: resist.bot lets you write & send the letter from your messaging app. it gives prompts and makes the process basically frictionless.

gaza is being ethnically cleansed right now. it’s US tax dollars bombing hospitals, apartment blocks, refugee camps, areas civilians were told to evacuate to. we’re killing journalists and medical workers and children.
call your reps every day. demand a ceasefire and end to military aid to israel.
