I'm sorry for being so sappy, but I wanted to show you guys something.
When I first donated to PCRF in December 2023, it was barely 10% close to its goal. Now in March 2024, they're also 100%. Everyone of you has helped support a better future for Gaza.
They're so close to their goal. Please donate or share this post so that they can get to their goal🇵🇸
You can donate to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund for as little as $1.00.
There is a fee you can choose to apply to cover processing.
Which if you choose to do leaves you with a total of ~$1.35 (USD) depending on the type of card you have.
PCRF has a score of 97% on Charity Navigator.
Adults and children alike are currently dying in Palestine due to starvation. (World Health Organization Link)
The Gaza Strip is one of two places in the entire world that is categorized as Phase 5 (the highest phase) on the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification scale.
So even if you think it isn't enough, remember that donating even as little as $1.35 helps! It's $1.35 they wouldn't have had otherwise. So donate if you can. 🇵🇸

I stumbled upon her content such a long time ago, and they're both so precious and funny as heck. Please support them if you aren't already following her accounts.
in october, my friend (a med student from gaza)'s cousin hussein was injured near his home in khan younes (then designated a 'safe zone' by the idf). a rod from a nearby airstrike pierced his skull. when i talked to her i remember she told me that cerebrospinal fluid was leaking from his nose and they were trying to stabilize him at nasser hospital in gaza, which was not equipped for the kind of surgery he needed.
now it has been over five months and his condition has worsened, and his brother has also been injured. they are raising money to try and get their family out of gaza for treatment. the passage alone costs 5000$ per person, without the additional cost of treatment.
this is a verified fundraiser, so please donate if you can.
Yemen, a country that had to endure a genocide at the hands of Saudi Arabia and America for over a decade, and one of the poorest countries in the WORLD- has singlehandedly applied more pressure on israel than any other exisiting force. In just 2 weeks they have cost israel 2 BILLION in lost revenue by forcing their ships to go around africa instead of passing through the red sea.
Already, the imperialist powers are punishing yemenis by cutting them of from the world food program. More than 17 million Yemenis – over half the population – don't know if or when they'll eat another meal. With multiple threats closing in from all sides, untold numbers of innocent people could starve.
If you can, please donate so yemeni families can have something to eat:
I love the way you do hair , do you have any tutorials or recommendations to get a similar look ?
I wish I could give you solid tips but I do it a little different each time! My biggest thing is doing hair on a separate layer over all of the lineart with a brush that gets thin/less opaque with less pressure.
I never really do lineart for it in my main style and tend to just paint out huge blocks and go in for small wisps and details after!!! Then I layer different hues and shades to give it some volume and dimension. :-D
If it helps I could maybe try to record it the next time I draw?
important to remember that many many countries, 120 countries, voted for a ceasefire and that the international community is not just the global north. the world stands with the palestinian people. those of us in countries who voted no to a ceasefire or abstained (and who actively send military aid to israel) must continue to pressure our representatives to end the genocide & occupation. that means protesting, calling, emailing, boycott, divestment, sanctions.
if you're in the us and you're looking for protests — look for your local jvp or psl chapter on instagram. they are usually organizing events.
as always with protests, remember to wear a mask for community & personal safety <3
