Is there anything I can do to help Palestinians besides call my representatives and beg them to stop killing people?
This is a great question. There are a few things you can do—just off the top of my head:
BDS (Boycott, Divest, Sanction) https://bdsmovement.net/
Direct Action https://www.palestineaction.org/
Urge your University/School/Organization to put out a statement denouncing Israel
Organize a Protest/Participate in a local one
You might already be doing this but while calling your reps, tell them that as a voter, you're unwilling to support them in the upcoming election unless they urge the White House to take a stand against Israel and stop funding them
Share art/writing/films around Palestinian culture
If you're part of a union, ask them what they're doing to urge their industry leaders to take a stand against Israel + pressure the White House OR urge them to start a strike/walkout/etc if they're not doing anything already
Talk with your friends IRL about Palestine, whether in an activist capacity or watching a movie or literally anything
Reach out to a mosque to see if you can help them with anything
See if your city/state council has put out a statement in support of Gazans. If not, try to push them to do so.
Donate to Palestine Legal or Direct Action if you have some money to spare
KEEP TALKING ON SOCIAL MEDIA!!!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know some of these don't feel like they have as big of an impact on helping Palestinians, but we do need to make an effort not to forget their humanity in the face of continued erasure and the media's sensationalist rhetoric.
Talking on social media and posting—while not seeming like a lot—does SO much. I know in USAmerica, it's like yelling into a void, but political analysts are saying that most of the "Global South" has completely lost any amount of goodwill it may have had the past few years. Hopefully, countries will start to put sanctions and embargoes en masse on the US and Israel soon.
Our goals here are BOTH short-term and long-term. We hope for the life and liberation of the Palestinian people, so anything that you can think of might help at some point in the future is encouraged to at least try.
If anyone else has any more ideas, feel free to reblog and add on. Thank you for asking, and here is to a liberated Palestine where Palestinians can live and thrive without fear.

doodles, lamenting how hard it is to use a rubber stylus on ipad, learning how to draw a shoe in real time

[ID: two colored drawings of red guy. in the left drawing he’s sitting in a chair looking to the side, with his hands resting on his legs. in the right drawing, he’s drawn from the chest-up, wearing a brown houndstooth coat and a brown tie. he has flowers in the yarn covering his face and a sprout on his head. end ID]
I think he’s pretty fashionable

[ID: a digital painting of a man in a gray suit, facing away from the viewer and using a computer. it has a small monitor with a green display. the painting is duplicated, the first copy has pinkish hues while the second is tinted green. below both of them is a line of text that reads “everything you always wanted to know about computers… but were afraid to ask”. end ID]
quick study of a frame I caught on The Old Timey Computer Show, a twitch channel that plays technology & gaming related tapes and shows from the 80′s-90′s :~) v cool stuff!!
