So, closed species/adoptables. I am low key interested in trying to make them and sell them myself because my job hunting irl is going Awful and I really need to start making income. I love doodling and creature designs and fakemon seem really fun/I like drawing cute women so I feel Like I could give it a shot.

I asked this on Twitter but that app is like talking into the void.

If anyone has any advice, what would be the best way to go about starting making and selling adoptables? Regular comms are different I feel since these are things I'd just make myself instead of waiting for an order. And I wouldn't ever cheap out on these either I'd try to make them as cute and fun as my other art.

I've been having it Rough and I want to try posting stuff more again for fun but my miserable job searching efforts and the state of the world has made that Very Hard.

SPREADSHEET OF PALESTINIAN ESCAPE FUNDS‼️TIME SENSITIVE

Operation Olive Branch is a continuously updating spreadsheet of Palestinian escape funds where progress towards their goals is being tracked. As of right now, there are over 100 funds listed there.

Any amount of money can make a difference. With their recent decision to bomb Rafah, the only remaining “safe” territory in Gaza, Israel has forced Palestinians into a corner by giving them nowhere else to go. The international community has given Israel the ability to act with impunity - it is long past the point in time to rely on those in power to hold Israel to any standard of compassion.

Today, I want you to look at this document, choose a fund, contribute to it, and share it. The people in Rafah are living on borrowed time. Free Palestine.

(Not stopping my Palestine reposting just posting stuff in between)

Smoliv but different breeds based many different kinds of olives. Who do you want in your garden(or team)? (Do not repost only reblog)

Text-less version:

Was in a heavy Drawing Drought last month after graduating college took up my entire autumn so I decided to try one of those Pokemon Breeds/Varieties charts to get myself out. I had tried to do this once as a kid and couldn't finish even one Roselia so I'm taking this as an absolute win.

Hi! I'm Tori and I have had this medical debt from my cancer scare go to collections.

i have been making payments on this debt and I have had many donations too! I am very thankful.

However I still have a lot left to go! this has crippled me financially and I live paycheck to paycheck because of it.

Please share! If you donate, Thank you so much.

noticed a dip in posts about palestine on my dash, so i think it deserves to be said again: palestine is not a trend. caring about genocide is not a trend. there are still reports about humanitarian aid trucks intentionally blocked off from gaza, meaning so many fucking gazans, a big portion of them children, are just bleeding out with no help. it just came out recently that israelis disguised as women and medics infiltrated a west bank hospital, at which point they killed 3 palestinians (whom they claim were militants. right). these people are living day to day without even the most basic utilities. anyone who claims to have “activism fatigue” needs to question why they’re so severely lacking in the most basic forms of compassion. you don’t get to just grow bored of talking about palestine. please never stop calling attention to the genocide happening full force in front of us.

an ex-zionist jewish man recently went a bit viral on tiktok for sharing exactly how he sees zionism tie israel to the jewish identity and his personal experience with breaking away from it - I think it’s a really great watch.

He also made a follow up talking specifically about how he learned to humanise Palestinians, and a really integral part of it was his school, which would often bring in Palestinian speakers who’d share their perspective (here’s a link to it).

pro-AI in the sense of "they taught a bread scanning computer to recognize cancer cells" etc etc

against AI in the sense of "we stole artwork from hundreds to thousands of artists, didn't credit them and didn't financially compensate them"

Gotta star pinning this bad boy to my alls these days.

Omg we talked about this story in class but never read it or got the name down!!

If anyones interested in learning about the first black vampire short story, published in 1819, heres a link to the wiki, its called The Black Vampyre, and its about a former slave turned vampire who seeks revenge on his slave master. Its actually a first in many categories!

i'll be a part of this (on the 3rd)! there is a $500 goal and i think we can crush that easily

Palestine is a feminist issue. It's 100% an issue that global feminists should be tackling but it's interesting to see reports of infections from a lack of decent menstrual sanitation products and reports of a 300% increase in miscarriages in Gazans and all these "the future is female!!! Repro rights!!! No period shaming!!!!" libfems are silent. I can't say I'm surprised, this is just liberal white feminism to a T, but by God does this shit piss me off. Our inability to ease the suffering of Gazans going through traumatic periods, births, and miscarriages because of Israeli violence should have the whole world heaving.

🍉 hi, i'm taking chibi/sketch comms! everything earned will go to e-SIM donations and the mentioned organizations. payment accepted through my ko-fi or proof of donation through DMs/email 📧

please make sure to read my T.O.S. before commissioning me! these will be open for a week, until 2/1.

✨hi all!✨ I hear there's a lot of energy for phone calls at the moment and I want to encourage you to keep that energy up and also call your reps to ask for a ceasefire in gaza! ❤️

Jewish Voice for Peace has a site which automatically connects you to the right people and provides a script you can use to call your members of congress if you're in the US.

Islamic Relief in the UK also has a page where you can write to your MPs to call for a ceasefire.

if anyone else has info about how to contact govt representatives in other countries please add it here as well!

More than 60% of the global population that are classified as the Phase 5 famine/catastrophe level of food insecurity and starvation are in the Gaza Strip right now, and that percentage is projected to increase to 95% by Februrary

I am so sorry to bother you with this stupid question, but Bisan has asked for a complete stop in economic activity. Can I still donate to help Palestinians or is it better to avoid any transactions for the week ? Thank you so much for what you're doing

hello anon. don't apologise, you're a breath of fresh air after the recent visitors in my inbox. I think a slightly more accurate description of Bisan’s ask is to stop or minimise all economic activity not in direct support of Palestine. Now more than ever, I would encourage people to donate to escape funds for Palestinians, to direct aid organisations like CareforGaza and the PCRF, and to buy e-sims as they’re running low.

Below I’ve compiled a list of resources below but this is definitely just a small sample size of what you can do to help during this strike. This post here is an extremely comprehensive resource that I’d recommend you have a look at.

credible organisations that are doing work on the ground in Palestine:

Care for Gaza:non-profit charity that distributes money, food and other resources directly to families in Gaza.They maintain a regular presence on Twitter and Instagram. You can donate to them via Paypal here.

PCRF / Palestine Children's Relief Fund: non-profit organisation that distributes essential food and resources to families in Gaza. Most recently, they delivered 30 tons of vital medicine, and 82,000 pounds of flour.

Medical Aid For Palestinians: deploys medical teams to treat Palestinians suffering under Israel's malicious bombardments.

Donate e-sims to Palestine: massive post with tutorials and relevant links, with discount codes included in the post and in the replies.
