Sketching another short comic concept, about a servant/handmaiden who delays her lady and lover's execution by an enemy king by agreeing to a terrible task: purifying a cursed sword within a year, whose immense power will then be turned against her homeland if she succeeds. Traditionally, all those who have sacrificed themselves to temporarily purify the sword's madness have been consumed by it and died horrifically; she is not expected to fare differently.
btw the palestinian children’s relief fund is currently running a fundraiser & is more than halfway to their goal of $10,000 !
here’s a link for anyone who is willing & able to donate, please share so it can reach more people, especially as the weather grows colder & these children are desperately lacking resources.
(at $5,314 / $10,000 as of December 1)
🚨🚨During the harsh winter days in Gaza, children suffered from the cold due to the lack of winter clothes. Haitham Awad, a young man known for his charitable work, saw the suffering of children through the media 📺, and decided to intervene. Haitham and his team collected donations through the "GoFundMe" program 🧣, and started a campaign to distribute winter shoes and warm socks 🧤👢 to children in the poorest camps
When they arrived at the camps, the children's joy was indescribable 😄, and their faces were filled with smiles and gratitude. These donations were not just clothes, but a message of love and solidarity 💖. Today, Haitham asks you to support this initiative ❤️, to continue providing warmth and hope to children in need.

If you're a Youtube creator with monetization privileges, click on the "Earn" tab right now and deal with this if you feel like its necessary. Youtube is going to start running more ads on your videos automatically without your permission, and the ability to opt out will go away in two months.
Youtube is not advertising this anywhere. Checking my "Earn" tab on my own is the first time I'm hearing about it. To me, that suggests they don't want people to know they're doing this, because they want to crank up ad frequency and make more money.
If you've ever seen what happens when you let Youtube automatically pick ad slots like this, they basically try to run an ad every 2-3 minutes. It's a nightmare.
They are going to flood their platform with ads and drive away 70% of their viewership. On the other hand, if you opt out and choose to continue showing fewer ads, you may earn the trust and respect of your viewers.
You have a strategic operative to turn this off before May 12th. If you don't do it before then, it sounds like Youtube will take away your ability to reduce your ad frequency.
Anyone with a milk allergy needs to be on high alert. In the midst of a flurry of ongoing food recalls, the FDA has updated its initial recall of a handful of Cal Yee Farms' chocolate products to the highest risk level. Originally, the FDA announced a recall of numerous Cal Yee Farm products because they may have contained undeclared milk, soy, wheat, sesame, FD&C #6, and/or almonds. The recall has now been elevated by the FDA to the most serious level of recall, Class 1, for only a few of the affected products: the company's dark chocolate almonds, dark chocolate apricots, and dark chocolate walnuts because the chocolates contained undeclared milk.
Hey everyone, I know it's going to be a busy day for a lot of people, but Google enrolled everyone over 18 into their AI program automatically.
If you have a google account, first go to gemini.google.com/extensions and turn everything off.
Then you need to go to myactivity.google.com/product/gemini and turn off all Gemini activity tracking. You do have to do them in that order to make sure it works.
Honestly, I'm not sure how long this will last, but this should keep Gemini off your projects for a bit.
I saw this over on bluesky and figured it would be good to spread on here. It only takes a few minutes to do.
For the love of sushi 🍣💗
The company budsies, which specializes in making custom stuffed animals and making duplicates of old or lost plushies, is currently offering to recreate the beloved stuffed animal of any kid who lost theirs in the LA wildfire, free of charge.
Their instagram post said to share this, so please spread this around so that families who've lost everything can receive just a little bit more hope in their lives 🥺
“… What is it, exactly, that you need?” Daroach asked, trying so hard not to betray his growing fear as Dark Meta Knight grew closer and closer.
