In light of this, I just have only one request for you; please do not give into whatever you are describing as “compassion fatigue” right now.
Realize that this is exactly what the colonizers conducting this genocide want you to feel. Realize that apathy during a genocide is what leads to the normalization of atrocities. Realize that this is a tried and tested method found throughout history; that now when the genocide is been widely documented by Gazans themselves- the only way the colonizers can get away with it is by running you down and making you feel hopeless!
I request you to fight harder for every Gazan! And therefore request you to fight for my friend Siraj Abudayeh too, whose family recently faced another assault. His parents and siblings had to flee to him for protection, because their areas ( Hamad, southern Khan Younis) were marked for assault from occupation forces. With the number of people depending on him increased now, Siraj has a much heavier responsibility on his shoulders to raise enough funds to support all of them and their needs, when prices of food water and other essentials are already skyrocketing.
With the coming of the rainy season, there comes the danger of epidemics spreading from open sewers as well! Siraj’s son Amir has already fallen ill, and his other two sons are showing symptoms too- they are in dire need of medical treatment! I cannot overstate how badly Siraj and his family need these funds!! How badly he needs your continuous support.
There has been a significant drop in engagement with fundraising posts and I very clearly remember, someone tagging one of my posts with compassion fatigue. It shocked me to my core to think that the cries of Free Palestine could fade so suddenly; that after only a year some of you have begun to feel fatigued, from having to care about this.
Do not give in please; do not let the colonizers make you complicit in this horror! They know that if they can overwhelm you enough, then one day the videos and posts would stop hitting as hard and sooner or later everyone will stop talking about Palestine. This cannot happen again! Not when your attention can literally save a life! This is the power you hold- especially if you are living in the Imperial core. The colonizers are afraid of it. You have to know this and believe this!
He is currently only at $45,044 / $82,000 CAD

Mohanad and Farah: War Stole Our Dreams
My wife Farah and I once had a dream home in Gaza, filled with hope. But the war destroyed everything. We lost our jobs, our apartment was bombed, and we were left with only debt.
We married quietly amidst the chaos, and since then, we've been forced to move between shelters and tents, always uncertain and struggling for basic needs. Now, we share a small rented house with other families, still living in fear of what might come next.
This video shows the details of our story; I kindly ask you to watch it and support us
Despite it all, we hold onto hope.
Thank you for your kindness and support 🌸💚

The roughest of scribbles warming up (and then later goofing off) today...
🐉 for the ask game?
🐉 – If you could only create for one type of au, what would it be?
I haven’t actually written an actual AU but so far I’m thinking of a jidaigeki-ish AU based on this chibi set I did a while ago that references various historical events/legends/fictions in Japan:
Kai and Nya were separated when they were still kids due to a war and he then set on a journey to find her. He eventually finds her, alive and well, and at some point the siblings have a friendly rivalry. Both have developed their own fighting style as well while they were away from each other (parallel to Musashi’s Nitouryuu (dual sword) style and Kojirou’s Ganryuu style including Tsubame Gaeshi).
During this journey, Kai meets Lloyd who tells him that he needs to gather some comrades as soon as possible. After finding Nya, the siblings then joins Lloyd’s journey to find more comrades.
Cole the warrior monk used to rob people’s weapons (he prefers to call it confiscation) due to his disappointment to people abusing weapons to take someone else’s life; until when he met Jay and lost in a match. The latter reminded him that someone would need those to defend themselves (parallel to Benkei and 999 weapons).
Zane worked for a magistracy as a detective, along with PIXAL as his sidekick. He used to despise samurai for the terrible treatment they did to the commoners; until he witnesses the siblings saving a commoner’s life, and he slowly warms up to them. Legend says it that his throw is almost 100% accurate (parallel to Heiji’s coin throw).
I can’t explain the following ones properly but I might give a gist of them.
After everyone is finally gathered, Lloyd explains his reason: to end the war caused by someone who used to follow him and then deceived him: Pythor (parallel to Jiraiya’s arch-nemesis, Orochimaru, who used to be his follower IIRC). Apparently this war caused most of the problems witnessed by them.
Everyone immediately agree to join Lloyd for various reasons: the siblings don’t want anyone else’s happiness to be snatched by the war, Cole and Jay want the weapon abuse to be stopped for once and all, Zane and PIXAL want the difference between classes to be diminished. They didn’t get along at first, but they eventually become a better team thanks to Lloyd’s wise words (kind of referenced from events of Bakumatsu era after seeing dramas that take place in that time setting).
Thanks for the ask!
Ok… so this is the first time i made this. my friend was ask me how i can made something like this. so i share it how. and i’m feel i want to share this to u guys too .
this should make you angry. children in gaza have been out of school for a whole year and will be out of school as long as the israeli invasion continues. palestinian children live in flimsy tents which do not offer them any protection from the heat/cold. they travel long distances to search for water. they are threatened by water-borne diseases and skin infections that are running rampant in gaza.
no aid has been allowed in gaza since may. there is a shortage of everything from food to medicine to blankets to tents. this means that prices for everything have gone up.
it has become very expensive to survive in gaza. heavy rains followed by the winter are fast approaching. a tent does not offer much protection against the elements.
help alaa [ @alaakh998 ] buy supplies for the winter and medicine for her son who is suffering from a skin infection. she has two children aged six and four. she needs to ensure their safety and welfare and it cannot be done without your help.

I don't think a lot of you guys are appreciating the fact that when I say yeah I think Jason Todd killed Felipe I'm thinking of my Robin Jason specifically and my Robin Jason looks like this:
Urgent help 🙏 📣
I stand on the rubble of our home, but my heart is filled with hope. I need your help to leave Gaza and complete my education to build my future. Every donation, no matter how small, will help me achieve my dream. Join us on a journey of rebuilding

I suddenly remembered of these drawings i drew back in 2020 when my transformers phase was at its peak and i would draw them with characters from my other fandoms
Rottmnt was one of them
Posting these here because I still love them. They mean the world to me and i miss them ;-;
okay all of these are just thoughts in my noggin that i want to get out.
this is basically all spoiler territory for the entire series.
Peter and Eddie's fathers (Dr. Richard Parker and Dr. Carl Brock) worked together with Dr. Otto Octavius at Oscorp in a "developmental" laboratory, right around when it first became a military contractor. They offered for Octavius to join them at their new lab, which he declined.
Dr. Octavius definitely met a young Peter and Eddie. Granted, they likely don't remember ever meeting him. Aunt May, however, does remember him, and was shocked to see him as Doc Ock.
(if) Spider-Man's identity was revealed to Doc Ock, he would instantly recognize him. Peter's basically the spitting image of his father. It would send him spiraling to see at his greatest enemy that he's tried to kill on several occasions is actually his late friend's only son.
It's not just Peter, he's familiar with Eddie Brock as well. He actually remembers Eddie better, as he was a pretty talkative child who would come into the lab and constantly ask questions about what he was working on. Otto actually offered to mentor Eddie in robotics. When Eddie politely declined the offer because he wanted to study genetics, Otto wrote him a sparkling letter of recommendation to the Conners.
(if) Venom's identity was revealed to Doc Ock, I think he'd be more sad than shocked. He remembers Eddie Brock as a talkative, excitable child and an intelligent, confident young man, not as the violent, moody wreck of a man he sees. It makes him really self-reflective, and he tries to reach out to him to see if he can help.
Unfortunately, the help wouldn't be totally welcome. Still fixated on creating "super-mercenaries," he'd eventually discover that symbiotes reproduce asexually and exploit Eddie's connection to the symbiote to create genetically-enhanced symbiotes (see: "Lethal Protector" 1993), leading to a whole new mess.
(if) Black Cat ever met Peter Parker, she wouldn't recognize him at all. "This dweeb? This little fucking scrumblo nerd who couldn't stop stuttering and blushing? You're saying he's Spider-Man? No."
Mary Jane Watson Is Bisexual. She likes men and women. Proof? She asked Glory to a date at the formal. She and Peter are Both Bisexual Together.
Peter is outed to Sandman (Flint Marko) as Spider-Man because Flint took a job as the janitor at his school. He recognized him by his voice, as Peter was shoved into a locker and Flint couldn't see him. Flint had an entire redemption arc in those 10 seconds of horrified eye contact as he realized he'd been trying to kill an actual child this entire time. He was also fucking infuriated that he'd been getting foiled by a literal child for MONTHS but that's beside the point.
Heroes in a half shell, TURTLE POWER!
