🌕 girl magic! ✨
Winter has arrived…
Its coldness, unsettling stillness, and relentless rains have taken over. Last night was harsh, as the heavy rain flooded our humble tents, leaving behind nothing but cold and suffering.
My children, their small bodies can no longer endure this piercing cold. All I can do is hold them close, but even that is no longer enough to shield them from the cruelty of this weather. Our tiny tent, barely offering us shelter, stands less than 100 meters away from the sea. The crashing waves and roaring winds create a daily battle for us, amplifying the fear in my children during the darkness of the night.
This morning, we woke up to the same exhausting reality. I don’t know if this suffering will ever end or if it will repeat with every new sunrise. Sometimes I wonder: does tomorrow hold any hope for us, or is it just another chapter of pain?
These are not just words, but glinnmpses of the reality of my life and the suffering of my children, for which I can find no solution.

Sanaa reached out to me to help share her fundraiser! Her family is suffering from medical issues, and have no income, while prices in Gaza have skyrocketed.
They've only raised €6,036 out of their €50,000 goal so far. Please consider donating to them!
If you donate, reminder I am drawing for those who donate to Gaza fundraisers or donated esims! Donate and get some art! (more info on the post linked here)
Their campaign has been verified by @gazavetters (#192 on the list)

"I am reaching out to you today to support my family, who are enduring unbearable conditions in Gaza. The relentless bombing has destroyed our homes, forcing us to live in tents under the scorching summer heat. Life has become incredibly difficult, and the tragedy deepens with each passing day. 😣
We are suffering from a severe shortage of food and water, with no means to secure our daily needs. The children go to bed hungry, and we don't know what hope we can offer them for tomorrow. Medicine is scarce, and reaching hospitals or health centers has become nearly impossible due to the destruction of roads and the lack of safe transportation.
We are living in a small, overcrowded tent that lacks even the most basic necessities. The heat is unbearable, and the situation worsens every day. But despite all this, we hold onto hope and believe that there are those who will hear our cries.
I am asking for your help to share our story and support us in any way possible. Your donation or even just sharing this story could help us obtain the food, water, and medicine we so desperately need, and perhaps even a chance to live in more humane conditions. 🙏
Thank you to everyone who extends a helping hand during these difficult times. Your support is the ray of hope that we cling to."🥹🙏

I want the fact that "The Gatekeeper" got leaked could cause even MORE backlash for Disney as well as an outcry to get it released into the public in SOME way.
Even having it out on Disney+ and only on Disney+, as a sort of streaming exclusive that could potentially garner in more subscribers (It won't, but work with me) would be the very LEAST they could do. Because that is...TOO important of an episode to just toss aside because of "The results of the election."
Here's the thing, Disney: You don't get to decide being okay with something is only fine when it's easy. You don't get to try and erase something that viewers NEED to see just because you're scared of how the other side of the country will react. You don't get to suddenly say that trans lives are suddenly worth LESS than money. Especially since there's another half of the country that are very angry, disgusted, and downright DISAPPOINTED at this cowardice display of backing down.
And yeah, you tried to hide the episode. Tried to make sure it never see the light of day. But not only did you make it MORE interesting because of the mystery behind it, but now it's leaked and MORE people saw it, you're going to be in extra hot water if it's not OFFICIALLY released. You're not going to live this one down, even if you get that episode removed from archived sites. I GUARANTEE people are already downloading and saving copies of that episode to make sure it doesn't get lost. And they're going to bring it up EVERY DAY until you do the right thing and make sure the general public sees it.
Because if you don't? Fucking GOOD LUCK praising yourselves during Pride Month the next time you try to say you support the LGBTQIA+ community. You literally just proved that you don't.
GOOD NEWS, EVERYONE!
Help save Marah's family!
As the colder months begin to settle in, it becomes pertinent to remind you about the conditions in Palestine. The people of Gaza are trapped in tents, while torrential rainfall drastically increases the risk of flooding and sickness from exposure. The Israeli occupation and genocide is, without a doubt, entirely responsible for this suffering. This is the suffering Marah and her family have been forced to live under for now (as of writing this) almost a full year.
This cannot be allowed to continue any longer. Marah deserves to finish her studies in engineering. Her parents deserve to recieve medical treatment for their diabetes. Her family deserves to feel safe in a world not hellbent on their destruction.
If you need verification to trust this, this fundraiser is found on the blog of @/90-ghost (linked here, the new blog is @freepaleatine95 but it's the same fundraiser), who is a trusted verifier. I implore you, please at least take the time to share. It is truly the least you can do.

Thank you so much to everyone who came by to show their support, to rally for their favorites and have fun! This has been another round of the Autism Swag Summit! Goodbye for now!
A Fellow Fan reached out to me on Twitter about this awesome show. I love Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur! If you are a fan of Rise of the TMNT, you’d love Moon Girl as well! They were produced by the same studio! Moon Girl is in danger of being cancelled for good! Season 2, which was divided in half, may be the last season we see! Now is the time to raise awareness about it across social media! Don’t let Nickelodeon cancel another great show! Every little effort counts! Here are some things you can do to help!
1. Spam the hashtags to save Moon Girl across social media. #SaveMoonGirl #SaveMM&DD #SaveMoonGirlandDevilDinosaur #SaveMoonGirl&DD #Disneyletdown #Istandwithanimation #CancelledCartoons
2. Constant Disney across their social media and hound them about this show. Don’t be rude, but vouch for Moon Girl and why it deserves to continue! The animation is great, the main characters are great! The music is wonderful and it is SO RARE to see such an inspiring marvel superhero, who is both a girl, African American, AND a STEM genius! There are so many little girls out there that need that kind of representation, that want to get into science and math, but never see any little girl on TV with the same interests! Be their voice! We failed The Ghost and Molly McGee. Disney was once the forefront of animation, once the gold standard! Now, they make live action cash grabs and treat their 2D animated works with little respect. Prove to them that there is still love for hand drawn animation! Fight for Moon Girl!
Contact Disney Plus
Disney’s Instagram (@ them! Demand that they do better! Flood their Instagram accounts with demands for better!)
Moon Girl’s Instagram (FLOOD them with sudden followers!)
Contact Disney Channel (Email and demand that they show Moon Girl on their channel more often)
Disney’s Twitter (@ Disney. Tell them you want more moon girl and that it deserves to continue! Use the hashtags!)
Disney’s TikTok (Make art, edits, spread the word about this show!)
Don’t let Moongirl go down without a fight. Animation deserves better! Animators deserve to tell their full story, not have their work cut short, sabotaged, or cancelled by the studio that depends on OUR viewership to make money and not reward us with quality products. The age of cancellations and disrespect for animators WILL continue, if we audience members do not prove that we respect animator’s work, that we want quality animation to continue, and that we are tired of these companies ending shows before their time.
Either we band together, raise our voices for animators now, while they’re striking for fair wages, good treatment, and against AI, or we keep letting big companies get away with this kind of behavior. Disney wants to open an AI division. I know that there are fans out there that are desperate for more hand drawn Disney Films. We will never defeat Disney’s plans for AI nor get any more animated works if we don’t prove that is demand for their smaller hand drawn animated works!
SAVE! MOONGIRL!
LETS GOOOOOOOO
GRAND FINALS

I am Amina, a graphic designer and I know how to draw too, but the war has destroyed my dreams, my work and my ambitions, and I have nothing left. A good friend helped me draw these drawings for my campaign, and I hope that all humanitarian artists will help me because we are now going through an unprecedented famine. I hope that everyone who can help in my campaign will help, and anyone who can support me financially will help in my campaign. Any amount helps, even if it is small.
I hope that everyone who sees the post and can help and point out known artists who can help, I hope that they do so because hunger is starting to destroy my children and my daughter needs urgent treatment. Thank you all.

My name is Tahani, the mother of these wonderful children, I am a 30 year old woman from Gaza who was separated from my entire family during the war and I am currently forced to take care of my children completely alone.
My children are sick from the cold and the spread of diseases, and they are all in pain. I have been displaced with my children many times, and each time we had to bleed her precious evacuation money to buy transportation and transportation.
Every time we are displaced, we have to buy a new tent, which as everyone knows costs $1,500...
This makes our evacuation funds absolutely essential to our survival and the survival of my young children, who I will remind you now are sick, in pain, and starving in a situation that no one could have ever anticipated.
These conditions are absolutely catastrophic. It's the end of the world. No child, no mother, no person should have to go through this.
You can help by donating and sharing so we don't have to struggle anymore. All we are hoping for is to get enough money to evacuate to Cairo so we don't have to rely on the black market for simple things like food anymore.
You can help.
Please take time out of your day to donate to my family, our campaign is moving very slowly and we need your help.
Please help my family get out of this hell. We, like all human beings, deserve safety, comfort, and warmth, and now you have a way to help provide these things for us.
https://gofund.me/5770752d.
Dear, please don't let me down, we deserve life and we deserve your generosity and kindness towards us, you are our lifeline and with your generosity you give us life even a little, but you relieve us of injustice and the cursed war, you are the hope and life once again, be side by side hand in hand, we will make a big difference with faith, strength, will and determination, we will reach the goal, we are very close, I hope you participate and contribute if you can. 💜🇵🇸🍉🍉💐💐.
I am a mother of three beautiful little girls, Sana and Hanan. Hla has been sick recently and Hla needs to be vaccinated very soon, but I can tell you that the situation has been very difficult in Gaza and the campaign has been slow lately.
Thank you to everyone who donated and participated from the bottom of my heart, but my campaign needs more support and interaction. I think that my campaign did not receive the required interaction and attention. It is not my fault that I am Palestinian so that I do not receive support. I think that other campaigns and non-Arab campaigns take momentum from interaction and support. It is not my fault that a Palestinian is marginalized for the sake of my children, humanity, and children's rights. Help m🙏🏻🙏🏻💔💔.
My name is Tahani, I am 30 years old from Gaza and I have three very young children, Sana, Hanan and my youngest, Hala, who grew up during the war. Our house was destroyed, I was displaced several times and I am currently separated from the rest of my family - my husband, brothers, sisters and parents. I cannot tell you how stressed I am.

I am doing my best to take care of my children by myself, despite facing hunger, thirst, disease and the threat of death. The other day, there was heavy shelling near me and another family close to us was killed. Life in Gaza is now hell and I tell you that we are living as if we are waiting for our turn to die.
I am Tahani from Gaza, I am 30 years old. I stand before you as a person trying to maintain my family. I am married and a mother of three children: Sana, who is seven years old, Hanan, who is five years old, and a girl named hla. She grew up during the war and in very harsh conditions that no human being can bear. I moved from the hospital directly to the tent. I cannot describe the extent of the suffering and difficulty of living in the tent.
But I need help. The situation in Gaza is very bad right now, with the IDF preventing aid from entering and the food, water and medicine that is available are very expensive. Please share and donate to help me and my children survive and eventually leave Gaza.
Thank you all. I hope you will support me to save my life and the lives of my children🇵🇸🍉🍉.
‼️Please don’t skip taking a look 🍉🇵🇸.
We are trying to survive in miserable conditions in tents in Mawasi Deir al-Balah, south of Gaza. It is difficult for me to find the words to describe what we face every day in Gaza. No food, no medicine, no clean drinking water, oppression, helplessness, psychological pressure, doubts and daily trauma due to the loss of loved ones. In Gaza, it is not only hunger, disease and fear; it means actual death.
We have been forced to move more than 7 times, and my house has been completely destroyed, and I cannot provide enough milk, diapers, medicines, and vitamins for my children.💔🍉🇵🇸😭
Now, I find myself in this difficult situation, and I strongly and humbly ask for your help to save the lives of my family, especially my children, by getting us out of Gaza. The situation in Gaza has become unbearable due to slow death as a result of hunger, thirst, displacement, the spread of diseases and continuous bombing.🍉🇵🇸💔
The past months have been full of hell and horror. This war has gone on for too long, and our mental health and lives are constantly at risk. We have reached a point where there is no hope anymore in Gaza, as if we are waiting for death. Even if a ceasefire is reached, the devastation in Gaza in all its forms cannot be quickly repaired
Please help me and my children to get us out of genocide🍉🇵🇸💔.
Your help will contribute greatly to alleviating our suffering. I hope you will share my story with your family and friends.💔💔
I will be forever grateful for your kind assistance in this difficult time🇵🇸🇵🇸
Thank you for your kindness and generosity❤️.

Lost at Sea, Fighting for Hope: Help Me Save My Family in Gaza
🔴 In this video, you will see me on a migration boat after I tried to swim across the sea to Greek, but my friend Ali drowned before my eyes, and I couldn’t save him 💔 May God have mercy on him🙏
I risked my life searching for a glimpse of safety and a chance at a decent life. Just when we thought the boat would take us to safety, the coast guard intercepted us and left us stranded in the middle of the sea, struggling against the waves and facing death.
Now I am in the Netherlands without residency or income yet.
Today, I have only one dream: to save my family trapped in Gaza, where death rains down on them every day😭 and hunger and fear haunt their every moment. They are waiting for rescue, and I need your help to save them before it’s too late.🙏

Very important... 💔🍉
I am very sad because the campaign is going slowly, and I want to reach the goal, which is to reunite my family, get out of Gaza, and live in peace and security.
My children are not to blame for all of this They are visionary children. 😞💔🍉
Life in the tent is very difficult. No one can imagine how we spend the day in the tent. It is a very difficult life.
Look at the innocence of my children, yousef and Malak

WARNING!!!!
People, please be careful. There are also people tracking children and people and putting bids on them based on their profile pictures on whatsapp, tracking and kidnapping them. Especially young children, so please be cautious, especially parents who have their children as their profile pictures.
Please pass this on to everyone so that they are aware of the danger. I don’t how it is all around the world but I know it can’t just be here so please please spread the word. Thank you.
Hello dear .. My name is Abdul Rahman Hilles from Gaza Palestine,, married to the martyred journalist ola Al-Dahdouh.
My journalist wife works for the Watan News Agency and we had a beautiful child named Karam. The real disaster began on Wednesday, May31, 2024, when my wife, my child and I were surprised by a huge missile that fell on us and exploded in the place where we were, targeting the house we fled to and other neighboring houses. At that moment, my journalist wife Ola hugged our child Karam to protect him from the hell of the missile, but she turned into pieces and died immediately.
My child Karam and I miraculously escaped certain death when the pressure of the missile threw me a long distance, which resulted in me being injured by numerous shrapnel and multiple injuries that led to severe fractures in my leg and damage to the nerves in my hand and foot and various shrapnel in different parts of my body.
My wife is a journalist covering the crimes of genocide against defenseless civilians in the Gaza Strip. With the intensification of the bombing and the scarcity of food and water, my wife and I struggled daily to secure food for our only child Karam, who was also suffering from severe fear because of The brutal bombing of the Gaza Strip.
Now after the disaster that befell my family, I need your generous support to overcome my ordeal and pay for my treatment and surgeries. I need several surgeries outside the Gaza Strip that cost a lot of money, and I am in dire need of your tears and support
I am confident that after reading my sad story, you will sympathize with me and share with me and will not leave me and my child Karam alone.
Donate to me or share my campaign with your friends to donate to me
No matter how small your donation is, it means to me a chance for me and my child to be treated and to stay safe.
Be with us in our time of war, reunite us with my children, secure my life and provide complete treatment for my child
