The fire god’s boon

OKAY I swear I'm gonna start posting here...I just have so many tabs open already, and this hellsite doesn't do logins for multiple emails...

Be careful when you buy nail polish from a witch at the Night Market. She put a special ingredient in it...and it’s a full red moon tonight!

At least the color is cute, don’t you think?

What color would you buy from a witch at the Night Market?

An image of a brown hand wearing red nail polish is underneath a red moon. The hand is growing white and grey fur out of it with the text next to it: “UGH… I knew I should NOT have bought that B L O O D MOON nail polish from that witch at the Night Market…”

Spoopy season

Hey guys, important update from Mona. They have arrived in central Ghazzah and are able to continue their initiatives and activism after setting up camp. Since the last drive, she managed to accumulate enough funds to pack & distribute a whole heap of vegetables to the displaced people in Khan Younis! You guys have helped feed nearly 80 families if not more! Don't forget to donate! Every dollar counts! P*ypal.

G*f*ndme to distribute basic necessities in Ghazzah.

G*f*ndme for Mona & her family to evacuate.

Instagram to keep track of progress.

(If you live in India or Pakistan and want to donate, contact her through the means listed on her account).

Don't forget! None of this is possible without Mona and her family's diligence and work. If you would like to send her a thank you note or well wishes, please include it in the replies to this post, in your tags, or in the comments! She always appreciates them ♡

A super normal text between two besties! [Image Description: On a light blue background, a person with a brown paw and black claws is holding a smart phone. The red phone case is mushroom themed with light red spots. Tiny mushrooms, rocks, and flowers charms are on the top right of the case. The phone screen shows a text message window with the group chat titled “B F F 4 E V A.” There are two people in the chat, L and F. Person L is colored lilac, and person F is colored green. L texts: “we’re out of trash bags.” L adds: “*trash bags*" F replies: "darn that auto-correct!" END ID]

Journalist Wadea Abu Alsaoud interviews one of the remaining doctors at Al-Shifa Hospital. The Instagram account translating_falasteen was kind enough to re-upload Wadea’s video with English subtitles, and faridaek provides a full English translation in the comments of the original video, which will be reposted here for transcription purposes. It reads,

Doctor: Last night, the clashes sounded very close; there were sounds from every direction. Honestly, the wounded were in a state of terror.

Wadea: Regarding food security at the Al-Shifa Medical Complex, people have been saying they haven't eaten or drunk anything in four days.

Doctor: It's true because most of the vendors nearby have evacuated, leaving no food or anything available. Honestly, the situation is very dire!

Wadea: So, you're going to stay in Al-Shifa; you won't leave?

Doctor: God willing.

Wadea: We will remain steadfast.

Doctor: God willing.

Wadea; We're steadfast, God willing, and will remain deeply rooted on this land despite the ongoing siege on us inside the Al-Shifa Medical Complex.

Wadea: We are facing very difficult times. There is targeting, shooting, and intense gunfire outside the Al-Shifa Medical Complex and the occupation's armoured vehicles are at the medical complex's western gates. But we will remain steadfast, God willing, and rooted on this land.

Olive knows a lot of spells, but she's still a novice wizard. She still needs to read her spellbook to remember how to cast a majority of them.

Practice makes perfect tho!📚🐁

I got a lot of new followers today, hi! A lot of you probably just found me from Tumblr staff featuring me on the @artistalley blog.

I've seen a few people comment that they dislike these featured posts because they're "ads" so I just want to address that for a second

Tumblr does not get any kind of revenue from me through featuring me. I didn't pay them for that. I know a lot of people are disgruntled with Tumblr staff for various reasons but I think the artist alley blog is a great way to spotlight merch artists. It's helping me right now

I am a queer indie fashion designer whose clothing store is my entire livelihood. Sharing and purchasing my work directly supports a QPOC (me). You can dislike "advertising" as much as you want but I hope you know that a lot of individual small businesses are run by people like me and are very small-scale operations (I run my store solo) that rely on self-promotion and features to earn a living. It's incredibly different from big corporate advertising.
