"Divine Contrast" by Nestor

This colored drawing illustrates a fantasy character split into two contrasting aspects, representing the stark realities of social inequality. One half depicts a wealthy man adorned with distinct religious elements, while the other half shows a naked and impoverished man, with his starving family in the background, living in misery. This powerful piece serves as a poignant critique of wealth distribution and the societal structures that perpetuate inequality.

Single mother of 6 in URGENT NEED of GROCERIES in north Gaza🥖🥦🍉

Ibtisam Al-Habil needs mutual aid for groceries in north Gaza!

Ibtisam has been raising her children on her own since her husband was martyred by the occupation in 2014. Then in 2023, they did the same to her eldest son. She cannot work due to the invasion, and her financial needs are compounded by the cost of treatment for three of her children, a minor and two young adults, who are both temporarily and permanently disabled.

The blockade of north Gaza continues to drive famine among residents. Food is extremely scarce, and what little is available in the markets comes at highly inflated prices. The latest reports I have received on grocery prices from people in north Gaza are as follows:

1kg of Garlic - $80

1kg of Onions - $65

1kg of Potatoes - $40

1kg of Tomatoes - $56

1kg of Lemons - $23

1kg of Zucchini/Courgette - $24

1kg of Molokhia (similar to spinach)- $10

1kg of Green Peppers - $219

1kg of Eggplant/Aubergine - $16

1kg of Okra - $45

1kg of Cucumbers - $32

1kg of Apples - $47

1kg of Guava - $39

1kg of Avocado - $74

1kg of Sugar - $44.50

1 litre of frying/cooking oil/sirj - $23

1kg of rice - $19

1 plate of eggs - $224

loz of coffee - $27

It is extremely difficult, often impossible, for people in north Gaza to afford these prices. Failure to do so results in their starvation.

You can help a Ibtisam’s family by donating funds to their campaign. Ibtisam is struggling to find food for her children, and they often go entire days without eating. Any funds you give right now will go directly toward purchasing food so the family can survive! You can help feed a family right now with just a few clicks!

Please do not delay, Ibtisam and her family are currently starving!!! They are in urgent need of food RIGHT NOW!!!

Eddie shakes the foundations of Steve's world on a Sunday evening, at 6:44 p.m.

Steve knows the exact moment because he's standing at the stove, stirring pasta sauce and watching the time to make sure the garlic bread in the oven doesn't burn. It's June and it's hot, and they've got all the windows thrown open to let in a cool breeze. Eddie's sitting at the little kitchen table, probably messing with his D&D game notes, Steve would guess because he's focused on making dinner so it's ready when Wayne gets back from his shift. The three of them will eat together tonight, like they have Sundays past since April, a new little tradition that Steve's always craved to be a part of.

Except, when he turns, after Eddie speaks, he finds Eddie leaned back in his chair, like he's been watching Steve the entire time.

But before that, Eddie says, "I'm in love with you."

Steve stops stirring. The numbers on the stove tell him that it's 6:44 p.m. If he looks, the calendar would tell him it's a Sunday in June. And Eddie just told Steve that he was in love with him.

The numbers change—6:45 p.m.

Slowly, like he's moving through water, Steve turns, looks at Eddie over his shoulder, finds him leaned back, watching, smiling soft and wistful. Steve turns a little more, looking closer.

Has anyone ever looked at Steve like that before?

Eddie's eyes are bright, round and relaxed, as he gazes at Steve, those pretty lips curled up just right, a happy little smile. He doesn't say anything, even though there's only silence between them now. The sauce on the stove simmers, bubbles rising through the thickness to pop in shushed bursts. Steve drops his spoon.

"What?" he asks, turning further now. Steve's bread is going to burn under the broiler and his sauce is going to be scorched if he doesn't focus. He doesn't know what time it is anymore.

"I'm in love with you," Eddie says, again. That smile grows a little more. "I'm so in love with you, Steve Harrington."

And Steve is good at moving on instinct, good at chasing the ball down, good at finding himself in the right spot to make the right decision. He moves now, floats across the little kitchen, until he's in front of Eddie, leaning down, breathing his air, tasting his lips—

Their dinner burns.

Hello all

Contrary to the indications certain US reports, famine conditions remain in north Gaza due to the occupation’s unrelenting blockade. The scarcity of food has caused food prices to skyrocket, and it is unaffordable for the vast majority of people. Famine is a catastrophe in and of itself. But with winter fast approaching, it is compounded by another looming threat: hypothermia.

There is a long history of study on the relationship between malnutrition and hypothermia, particularly in children. Research shows that as a child’s body enters a state of starvation, the body slows down its functions and decreases its temperature to conserve energy. This can lead to hypothermia in young, malnourished children, even in mild climates.

Baby Ayla is one of thousands of children born into an invaded Gaza. Her young life has been marked by homelessness and hunger. Now her first winter is approaching. Ayla was not yet born for most of the previous winter, and she has had no exposure to the kind of cold, raw conditions that are incoming.

Ayla lives in a flimsy, drafty tent, leaving her exposed to harsh weather. She needs support in order to survive the winter. Warm clothing and winter gear are important steps toward this goal. However, she also needs nutritious food in order to fortify her body against the cold. If Ayla is not able to have baby formula and food, her risk for hypothermia will be compounded.

You can help give Ayla a fighting chance by supporting her mother Bashaer so that she can buy precious food. Not only will this help protect Ayla from starvation, it will also help her be strong enough to resist the coming cold weather. Please give her mother hope that they will survive this.

Thank you❤️

[For the record, WX-78's relationship with Wagstaff portrayed here is strictly PLATONIC and bordering familial. The similarities of their appearances are intentional]

I swear to God if people focus strictly on Woodrow again while trying to ignore Wagstaff's existence—

Ik people hate him and I'm tired of it, he's just a guy, it's not funny when you're doing it for so long. Max, while under the influence of them did a lot of worse things, and while I don't hate him for it, there definitely feels to be a double standard.

Y'know actually, it's kinda hilarious that whenever people come in contact with nightmare fuel or shadow creatures, they turn into the worst versions of themselves; Ie. William becoming Maxwell, inadvertently ruining Charlie's life, getting her killed and starting a kidnapping spree, trying to take someone like Witherstone straight up out of spite and personal grudges.

Willow burning down the Orphanage and seemingly appearing to show no remorse or internal conflict afterwards (whether there were other kids or not– but let's be honest, realistically she wouldn't have been the only kid in there).

Wagstaff genuinely trying to help people (while also taking secret payment from them, because while they are rich, he's seemingly broke, seeing his apartment and junk.) but he still goes out of his way to save their lives, until he stumbles upon the projector which is filled to the brim with nightmare fuel– I think you get the point. You could easily assume that humans getting in contact with this substance tend to become more callous of the others' general well-being.

Aside from that, it's fun to portray how Wagstaff's and Woodrow's relationship used to be. I always thought Woodrow used to highly admire Wagstaff and think of him as a mentor or father figure of sorts, while Wagstaff definitely was impressed with their skills, and who knows, maybe even cared about them somewhat as well.

People tend to villify Wagstaff while making WX appear blameless and an innocent victim, which is strictly false. I LOVE WX, but they are screwed up and evil, that is no act. I wanted to highlight this aspect of them here, they appear to have good intentions, but they don't care about what his needs and wants are here. They're trying to appear noble by wanting to save him from his awful flesh, but in reality, as soon as he begins doubting them and claims their project is hazardous and needs to be nullified, they immediately turn their back on him and attack him. Of course their plan fails and they end up in the Constant, bearing spite and resentment towards him, as well as a lot of internalized contlict. They don't fully hate him, because to an extent, they were the one who took things too far.

In a way, both of them appear to share the trait of : If it doesn't work, get rid of it and start anew, and whilst this mentality mostly applies for organic creatures in WX-78's case, Wagstaff is more double-sided.

No, but I genuinely love this old man and want to explore his lore, why he is as fucked up as he is, because he's a very interesting and fleshed out character!
