a bit risque. accidentally ended up drawing the more disturbing bits tee hee (not including rei who is an angel)
today's vetted fundraisers. eid just began - instead of a happy time of togetherness and celebration, families like these are having to spend the holy days amidst the cruelest of circumstances, deprived of all components of safe and healthy life. now is a more vital time than ever to support these campaigns. any contribution you can make is valuable.

🇵🇸 The algorithm is going to keep silencing my posts, but they're not going to silence me. I grew up with little to no books that made me feel seen as a queer/bisexual Palestinian Arab American. Today, it's still not easy enough to find those books online, even though we have thousands of lists, posts, and directories to guide us. To make your search a little easier, here are a few queer Palestinian books to add to your TBR. Please help me spread this by reblogging. Consider adding these to your least for Read Palestine Week (click for resources)! 💜

So uh….some dude apparently recreated Adobe Photoshop feature-for-feature, for FREE, and it runs in your browser.
Anyway, fuck Adobe, and enjoy!
Journalist Mohammed Farra in Ramallah received the awful news that his wife and children were all killed in an #Israeli airstrike in Khan Younes, South #Gaza.
Israel continues to target the voices of truth so that it does not find a voice that rises above its falsification of current events. Israel amazes us every day that there is more evil that it can commit.
He was not the first journalist.. and because we know that the occupier is a murderer and a war criminal, so unfortunately he will not be the last.. We hope that someone will intervene and the extermination of innocents will stop.
#Israel is a war criminal
