i was re-watching ‘maya angelou: still i rise’ & lost my mind & heart during this reading of ‘the mask’ so i decided to record + upload for anyone who would also like to be brought to tears.
I'm just going to leave this here, because this woman said what I've been trying to articulate for ages much more effectively and succinctly than I've been able to
i want to start commissions but idk how ;A; i have my prices set but idk where to go after that. im planning on using Kofi to sell, but idk how to actually Send the art To The Person, like do i just send it as a file via email?? i need to check out how kofi works too
Hey there! Hmmm I wouldn't call myself a commissions expert, nor have I sold commissions on Kofi, but I can share some of my basic thoughts if that would be helpful!
Setting your prices and knowing how you want to collect your money is important, so you're already off to a good start! As for sending the art to the commissioner, I almost always send them the file over email to ensure that the quality of the commission is preserved. Best of luck!
Hello there! Yes I am, however my slots are currently full. Check my esims for Gaza commission post to see when slots are open (the red text will turn green and I'll be updating the number of slots as they fill up). I will also reblog my post with an announcement when they open up again.
Hi everyone, it’s Bisan from Gaza, I am still alive Alhamdullah.. it’s been 107 days of genocide, 15 weeks, 2568 hours of killing us, taking over our homes and lands in Gaza Strip, and forcing us to choose between leaving or death.. and sometimes we can’t even choose.. the Israeli air strikes simply kill us without any warnings. Now, we are without any connection, neither the internet nor the cellular, we can’t reach each other’s inside Gaza, we don’t know if our families and friends are alive or not, wounded or not.. still in their places or not! We take hours of walking and searching to reach someone, while moving became very risky! We can’t reach to you as well! The footage, information and news from Gaza are not reaching you as before because the Israeli army intentionally destroyers the signal towers and the servers, even using the E-SIM requires being in a high place which is very risky!. I borrowed this vest to upload this post! I am not scared of death, but of being displaced, scared of losing my family or friends, scared of being wounded and can’t have my treatment because the health system is collapsed in Gaza, and to die in pain! I am not scared of the destruction.. I lost my work place.. my home and my family work place and source of income, I am terrified of being killed by an occupier, and to be forgotten, one oppressed Bisan of a whole occupied people. The strongest governments and weapons manufacturers are supporting this genocide against my people, and you are our only hope! STRIKE globally and call for a ceasefire! Strike, protest, stop the economic movements and make pressure on your countries to stand against this and stop it, if ISRAhell don’t find the financial and weapons support, or governments to hide their crimes they will be forced to stop the genocide! Go to the streets, protest and Globally strike for a week, (21-28) January! YALLA Brave and free people of the world, CEASEFIRE NOW!
With more time on my hands than I have had in a while, I am opening up commissions to support the donation of eSims to Gaza! If you're interested, either DM me or email me at [email protected]. Instructions for how to purchase and donate an esim on your own can be found at gazaesims.com or at the organizer's profile @mirna_elhelbawi (instagram).
[0/6 slots open] Check back soon for new openings!
Additional organizations looking for donations include:
@CareForGaza (Twitter)
Palestine Children's Relief Fund (https://www.pcrf.net/)
As we near the 100th day past October 7th, I implore everyone to continue to talk about Palestine, to share Palestinian voices, to learn more about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and subsequent Israeli occupation of Palestinian land, to not look away, and to call for an immediate sustained ceasefire.
