Amazing news!! This time, Hussam put together the biggest round of packages for the people of the camp and surrounding areas! He and his team put together 350 packages of veggies, each with 10 kilos of assorted vegetables, and to pair with that he also distributed 350 cans of feta cheese!
As you can see in the video, so many people are coming together to help these efforts, all thanks to your donations in HelpGazaChildren! Please continue donating and spreading the word — every penny means so much! Feel free to share our campaign link to other platforms as well!
Donate to our GoFundMe which goes directly to Hussam, who manages camps in Rafah, with NO middleman in between!

i would love to do my very detailed art again bc i feel like it's my one "style" i can always fall back on. but also i think i was an insane person to have drawn this 3 years ago:
sometimes i wish my Overarching, Most Potent Special Interest wasn't so specific. "lived-in house interiors", especially in video games, is so weirdly narrow. and yet every time i see such an interior or think about designing one i feel like this
had a very severe interior-drawing itch that i had to scratch, so i spent several hours drawing a lil isometric bedroom. and i DON'T LIKE HOW IT TURNED OUT so my only other option is to blow up
heads up: this games charity bundle was finally approved on itch.io! it opens this friday, april 12th, and will run for a week. all proceeds will go to the Palestinian Children's Relief Fund.
you can check out the bundle on itch.io and follow @vgforpalestine on twitter for more updates!
The dehumanization of Palestinians goes BEYOND the things we usually see, such as racism and Islamophobia.
It’s also the tokenization, treating Palestinian bloggers as “inspiration” for an OC, the parasocial relationships people are starting to form with more well-known Palestinian bloggers, and NOW polls on who the “worst” Palestinian is. Even people who’re supposedly ally’s to the freedom for Palestine movement are voting because of quote on quote “curiosity”.
You don’t have to be outwardly racist to dehumanize someone. Dehumanization involves stripping a person of their humanity and turning them into whatever caricature you think fits them best, whether it’s to sell an agenda or treat them as a source of entertainment.
i'm starting a lil series of short stories abt my characters by drawing a comic featuring monday and vilya. i have one page done but it took me two hours......for some reason i decided i had to draw both bare trees AND a vintage motorcycle MULTIPLE times.
i feel a little better today. didn't wake up dreading being alive and even went on a lil walk. :~) i feel a nice stillness that i haven't felt in many years. wahoo
