Tawfik was a student, didn’t have to fear for his life (at least not like the absolute nightmare life is now) every second of every day. You’ve heard those drones in videos from Palestine? They tick something in my brain that makes me sick to my stomach, but they cannot run away from it like me, just take off my headphones and take a nap like me.

He has both his parents and his little siblings lives riding on these fundraisers, hopes and dreams and plain humanity and humanity is anything but plain. So have some and lend a hand. A dollar, 50 sharing, reblogging, and making your own posts all help, and take so little of your time.

For the innocents everywhere, you deserve the right to life.

Useless mongrel

You are the useless one because you rely on getting money from unsuspecting people trying to help palestinians.

Anyway, this palestinian family needs your help, please donate what you can:

Do you think I am hot enough to be your trans girl?

When Marcille roleplayed as Chilchuck’s wife because it’s a normal way to engage in gossip of course of course, her appearance is really just her as a half-foot in a common dress and two braids. Uncharacteristically simple for her, though she did wear those as a half-foot too. At the end of canon, Chilchuck, implicitly by the text ~filling the hole in her heart~ by doing her hair for her when she lost the will to care for it herself, puts it in two braids.

She’s one step closer to her "I wonder what Chilchuck would be like as a husband" fantasy…. Don’t give up girl dreams come true, keep asking him about spending the rest of your daily lives together Mfw his love language is acts of service

i think i might be legit happy for the first time in my life.

i got out. i actually got out.

Hey, what's up, hello, I'm Xel, I truly have Donald Duck levels of bad luck and yet I do not have the rage button that makes things work out if I throw a tantrum, which feels like yet another failure of media, what is the deal with this.

The deal is:

Temp job had to let me go instead of make me permanent because the economy scared the 5 people over 65 in that department out of feeling safe enough to retire

None of my applications are getting interviews and I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Donald Duck tantrum did not assist me in this realm.

Holy shit seasonal depression I can't get out of bed like.... A Lot.

I have a convention to go to in February where I am selling art in the art show and where I will see many of my friends the only time per year.

I'm scared of everything haha wow 😬

I'm am an artist who just feels too upset and worried to art

I'm having trouble getting everything together and maybe will feel better with some level of stability? I need to do a lot of paperwork. It is proving hard. I have the Tumblr popular suspicions about my level of neurodivergance. (Fun story: I told members of my my family that I have thought in the last two years especially that I might have ADHD or Autism or something, and my cousin said, "Oh, honey *just the last two years?*" Obliterated.)

My abusive dad recently joined a cult and my grandmother thinks he'll try to contact me after 15 years and I'm fucking scared of him and that is Affecting Me in A Way boy howdy.

I do not have the money to pay rent even a little bit! I'm trying to get January and February taken care of maybe? So I can try to exist for this period of time and maybe not have a breakdown or get evicted or something?

Some real not awesome medical junk happening also because why not.

SO, I'm doing Tumblr's favorite thing and being a starving queer artist with brain worms who needs help. If you are interested in helping me out and making a donation to the "Why don't my Donald Duck tantrums solve my problems" fund, I would be Really Grateful.

I am on Ko-Fi, which is really just a funnel to PayPal, over here.

$2500 would keep me on solid ground. I'll try to keep a tally here in a read more along with a expenses tally if that would help you feel better about me! I know I've had to ask frequently in the last few months, so I understand thinking I'm full of it.

I have a commission to finish currently and a few buttons and things that need to be mailed. You could also ask for button and commission, but I am doing prep work for my part of the art show in mid February, so I'm not available until after then for that!

My grandfather used to do a Donald Duck impression that was really good and it convinced me that either he WAS Donald Duck or that old people all knew how to do this because they all talked like this in the era Donald Duck was from.

Here is Ko-Fi again. If there's something you'd like to see me post or unearth in atonement, let me know. If you'd like other places to aim your dead green American presidents, I can give you that too.

Thanks for reading and/or reblogging! Tell me how Donald Duck's freakouts impacted you. Take care of yourselves!

Rent is $710/month, so 1420 is January and February.

65 for the internet, 130

65 for car insurance, 130

65 for electric unless I can get the assistance plan up again, same 130

250 to survive at the con maybe?

Also just like food until i can get the foodstamps stuff sorted??

Gas???

Anyway, that's an idea of what and why, if that is helpful.

Jan 8:

We are at $460!

Thanks!

Groceries are absurdly expensive, and having dietary restrictions (celiac disease for me, diabetes for husband) makes it even worse. Between groceries, fuel, and bills, we'll be hurting in a week. My husband hasn't been able to find a new job. Or, more accurately, no one is calling about an interview.

I have listings in my shop, with digital downloads starting at $0 USD, and everything has the option of Pay What You Want (PWYW). Currently, I have several tutorials, art resources, and quilts of varying sizes. There are also quilt tops with the option of having me turn them into finished quilts.

Commissions are open until June 1st. Use coupon code GOHOGWILD for 15% off, with one small catch: you choose the size range, I choose colors, design, and prints. I will work on unfinished commissions over the course of the summer.

You also have the option of being a monthly supporter for as little as $5/month. There are goodies like automatic discounts in my shop and commissions, freebies, postcards, and some other fun surprises.

Here's a link to my gallery of work, with work-in-progress all nicely laid out. Take a look and see if my style works for you and if it's in your budget. My commissions start at $20 USD.

If fine art is more your style, you can purchase prints of my paintings and photography here. I have the original paintings in my ko-fi shop. I haven't made any new paintings in years due to lack of paint. Someday, that'll change. Right now, however, food, fuel, and bills come first.

Should you decide you would rather treat me to nice things (seeing as all money otherwise goes to necessities), you can send me one of the things on my Throne list. Right now, I need thr humidifier so my asthma will behave. Dry season is here, and my lungs are feeling it. I also have paint on the list.

To send money direct, you can choose to donate via Ko-fi (Stripe, PayPal), or any of the following options:

For PayPal direct, you must mark it as a gift or I will otherwise need to return the money.

Here are some examples of my work:

Hi, I'm Phoenix. I'm a nonbinary and disabled 22 year old in higher education. I am pursuing a degree in anthropology, and I intend to go into a career focused on activism when I graudate.

I had to flee from an abusive household in December 2023, and was able to stay in a shelter during my winter break. When I was able to return to college (January 2024), I struggled throughout the semester, as I had several hospitalizations throughout the school year.

This GoFundMe is meant to pay for food, shelter, my tuition, and emergencies. I am unable to work because of my disability, and it will be extremely hard for me to get help, as I intend on staying in college.

Any amount helps and is greatly appreciated! I have been struggling to pay for my expenses, any help is always needed!

If you don't want to use GoFundMe, you are more than welcome to ask for my Venmo (I don't have it listed because it's under my deadname)!

[bundtcakeluvr]

I saw @dormimi-zzz ‘s post on this and that’s so true! Like all the viral infographics and art pieces are just that, but those thousands of reblogs could save lives. If you haven’t heard and want to purchase art that supports Palestine, look up commissions for Palestine! So many wonderful artists are putting themselves out there!!

Anyways, here’s the fundraisers from their post(+how far they are on their goal in order):

Muhanned Shaheen- € 2,193/35,000

Mohamed Hamad- £ 4,607/50,000

Sujood/Rawda Harb- $(CAD) 3,184/45,00

Nader/Nasser Shoshaa- € 4,269/120,000

Iyad Sobhe- £ 1,936/60,000

Iman Eyad- £ 4,765/60,000

PLEASE READ!!

i usually just ignore these but after seeing the donation scam for families to get out of Gaza again, i just feel like sharing this.

please be aware that these asks are 9/10x SCAMS. they use stolen photos, bios and even usernames. they link to some random paypal address to donate to, which is just the scammers personal paypal/a money mule's paypal.

ways to recognise these sobs are

new accounts. posts only go back a few days to 1 week

extremely intricate bios with way too much information, or a header title with no bio, but everything is personalised

grainy photos, weird headers that seem to be pulled directly from google

public likes and followers with likes often only being the posts they reblogged and a very random follower list (which often also doesn't correlate to the fandoms in their bio)

donation link in weird colours, or a linktree that goes to "donation link" and when you click it, it directs you straight to paypal. (if there's an actual gofundme, it is likely not a scam but you HAVE to click the links to make sure. you can name everything anything on linktree with a different link embedded)

to the piece of shit scammers; you guys are fucking wretched and vile and waste the air on this earth. go fuck yourself, please consider becoming a real member of society instead of some basement-dwelling loser that ain't got nothing better to do but prey on the kindness in others. fuck you

as yr favorite local jason todd fan sometimes i get so fed up with the apparent inability of most dc comic writers to write a class conscious narrative about him.

and yes, i know that comics are a very ephemeral and constantly evolving and self-conflicting medium.

and yes, i know they’re a profit-driven art medium created in a capitalistic society, so there are very few times where comics are going to be created solely out of the desire to authentically and carefully and deliberately represent a character and take them from one emotional narrative place to another, because dc cares about profit and sometimes playing it safe is what sells.

and yes, i know comics and other forms of art reflect and recreate the society within which they were conceived as ideas, and so the dominant societal ideas about gender and race and class and so on are going to be recreated within comics (and/or will be responded to, if the writer is particularly societally conscious).

but jesus christ. you (the writer/writers) have a working class character who has been homeless, who has lost multiple parents, who has been in close proximity to someone struggling with addiction, who has had to steal to survive, who may have (depending on your reading of several different moments across different comics created by different people) been a victim of csa, who has clearly (subtextually) struggled with his mental health, who was a victim of a violent murder, and who has an entirely distinct and unique perspective on justice that has evolved based on his lived experiences.

and instead of delving into any of that, or examining the myriad of ways that classism in the writers’ room and the editors’ room and the readers’ heads affected jason’s character to make sure you’re writing him responsibly, or giving him a plotline where his views on what justice looks like are challenged by another working class character, or allowing him to demonstrate actual autonomy and agency in deciding what relationships he wants to have with people who he loves but sees as having failed him in different ways, or thinking carefully about what his having chosen an alias that once belonged to his murderer says about his decision-making and motivations, you keep him stuck in a loop of going by the red hood, addressing crime by occupying a position of relative power that perpetuates crime & harm rather than ever getting at the root causes, and seesawing between a) agreeing with his adoptive family entirely about fighting nonlethally in ways that are often inconsistent with his apparent motivations or b) disagreeing and experiencing unnecessarily brutal and violent reactions from his adoptive father as if that kind of violence isn’t the kind of thing he experienced as a child and something bruce himself is trying to prevent jason from perpetuating. because a comic with red hood, quips, high stakes, and familial drama sells.

it doesn’t matter if it keeps jason trapped, torn between an unanswered moral and philosophical question, a collection of identities that no longer fit him, and a family that accepts him circumstantially. it doesn’t matter if jason’s characterization is so utterly inconsistent that the only way to mesh it together is to piece different aspects of different titles and plotlines together like a jigsaw. it doesn’t matter if you do a disservice to his character, because in the end you don’t want to transform him or even understand him deeply enough to identify what makes him compelling and focus on that.

and i love jason!!!!! i love him. and i think about the stories we could have, if quality and art and doing justice to the character were prioritized as much as selling a title and having a dark and brooding batfam member besides bruce just to be the black sheep character are prioritized. and i just get a little sad.

[transsexualutopia]

Please consider helping homeless trans people survive. Things have been dire since Oct 16th when we got kicked out of my parents house after they assaulted me (and my partner) and took away access to my car and phone along with any financial support. We had to relocate in Kentucky which was 10+ hrs away from home...which had its own can of worms to deal with here.

My partner's mom is sick with Covid and we won't be able to work or donate plasma if we get sick in the upcoming days, and we have 4 cats (which were dumped on us to take care of to begin with) to take care of and provide for. Don't tell trans people to survive if you're not going to materially help us, we can't move to house ourselves out of this deep red state if we don't receive help. Please, I haven't been able to sleep because of being assaulted and kicked out and hotel hopping while skipping meals. Please give us a chance to survive.

So there's no wiggling out of it, I'm going homeless.

I'm gay and trans, and very clearly so. My landlord is kicking me out with no warning but there's nothing I can do to stop them. I'm scared and alone and I don't understand why this is happening. I have no ride, my partner's not only at work but doesn't wanna put up with this anymore, and I...

Is there anyone (Adult) in the Ohio area looking for a roommate? Or any other area? I can pay up to 500 a month, I just need food to be supplied and I don't eat much. Please DM me with inquiries or resources.
