There's one charity that I haven't seen shared here personally, and that's Care for Gaza.
They're shared a lot on twitter as a reputable on-the-ground relief source. You can donate to their gofundme to help their efforts here.

I made this blog because I'm tired of living my day to day ordinary first-world-European-country life and whilst meanwhile, elsewhere on the globe literal genocides are happening.
I am a normalish young human living in the UK and personally, I find it pretty fucked up that as I'm eating a pastry I bought from Gregg's and thinking about summer work experience placements, fellow humans are living and dying in horrific conditions just because they were unlucky enough to be born who and where and when they were. What I find considerably more fucked up is how little I feel I can do about this.
I think we're all familiar with that sense of total helplessness we feel when we hear about some dictator starting yet another war on the news, or watch yet another documentary on people currently dying in camps in countries with tightly controlled borders and speech and little transparency in their statistics or governance. Of course, that sense of despair is one of the most powerful weapons of people in power and we can change the course of events through organizing and rallying together in protests and resistance movements etc, but what do you do if you can't strike or protest? If you can't join in a boycott or skip school?
This is a blog created for those people. Realistically, unless I miraculously rack up a bajillion followers overnight like a hellsite Kardashian, my voice and opinions and the influence I have is absolutely tiny in the grand scheme of things. But nevertheless, every voice matters. No matter how small or irrelevant, one of the ways EVERYONE can have some miniscule ripple effect in the vastness of modern day politics and what will be tomorrow's history is by speaking up.
Heck, even if you can't post stuff voicing your opinions out of fear of your family or social circle seeing or the risk of losing your job (and you can't create another account or blog for this) you can still view, like, reblog and share stuff to spread awareness and influence an algorithm- likes, reblogs, followers and any actions possible for traction for this blog are greatly appreciated, by the way.
Think about it- how much of your knowledge of the world, awareness of sociopolitical events, opinions, beliefs and et cetera did you learn from social media?
That is the power of using your voice, no matter how small.
This blog will for now be mostly focused on the war crimes in Gaza and Palestinian occupation, but was of course made with some other current atrocities in mind (*cough cough Russian invasion of Ukraine cough cough Uyghur genocide in Xinjiang in China*) which I'll probably be touching on more as time goes on and whenever the situation in Gaza is over (hopefully, with a total ceasfire soon).

If your taking requests, I liked to see your sonic and tails if they were closer to their actual animal size difference.
January 9 2023
Doodle Request #5!
You have no idea what you've done. This doodle request has made me spiral into making my own self indulgent au.
I've never more times in my life used 'cause I want to' as an excuse for something. This entire au is just self indulgent fluff. At first, I looked at the request and went 'oh, they probably don't realize how small hedgehogs are or how big baby foxes are.' and then I was like 'okay, but Mobian'. AND THEN I was like 'okay, but it'd be funny if Sonic was like- almost an adult in this drawing.' and it just spiraled into this. I want to make so many more doodles of this au FUCK.
So everything isn't set in stone yet, aside form their ages I think.
Amy is 19, she's studying to become a teacher. She works at a daycare.
Sonic is 22, he picks up odd jobs where ever he travels in his van.
Tails is 8, he also picks up odd jobs, but more mechanically centered ones (and way less jobs because Sonic will not allow the kit to overwork himself).
Knuckles is 23, he guards the Master Emerald still, but he also is a pro at arts and crafts (mostly pottery).
I know I wrote 'plane' in the doodles (if you can even read them, my handwriting is a nightmare there), but I was originally thinking van that Tails later modifies into a plane-van combo.
Do they have powers? Yes. Because I want them to. Are there magical gemstones? Yes. Because I want there to. Is Eggman trying to take over the world? Eh, I don't think so. I like chill vibes, plus how is Sonic gonna beat up a Motobug if he isn't even as tall as the tire? Why are they wearing clothes? Because I want them to! Why is everyone but Tails aged up? BECAUSE I WANT THEM TO (and it's funny to me).
Sonic and Tails live in a van (that he stole) and travel around. Sure, Sonic has super speed (he's not afraid of showing it off), but he just likes driving (he had to diy an entire system just so he could drive). Plus, it's fortunate that he stole that van, because carrying around supplies needed for a toddler already twice your size when you met them is definitely not light.

If you have the funds, please please donate. If you can't donate, at least share. Mo, his family, and his cats deserve life, just like every other Gazan - every other human.

Do any other artists out there get anxiety so bad that they feel like their heart is being strangled, whenever they try to work on something they don’t like?

The Israeli occupation dropped leaflets in Al-Bureij today (Times of Gaza) that read:
"You are located in an critical battle zone. For your safety leave immediately and head to known shelters in Deir-Al-Balah" (25-12-23)
Here’s what the situation in Deir-Al-Balah has been this past week up until this morning:
Dr Ebraheem works in the Al-Aqsa Martyr’s Hospital in Deir-Al-Balah. This is what he’s got to say about the situation in Deir-Al-Balah
In a post written on his blog, Dr Ebraheem describes the situation at the hospital further:
“I saw bodies coming spewing dust as if they were a sponge dipped in ash. I saw children bleeding and sinking into a coma because heavy stones came on their weak heads. I saw people whose colors, shapes, and names changed, where at a certain moment it was not possible to know who was injured, as they said: ‘Clean his face from the dust, perhaps we might recognize him.’
They do, and discover that he is so-and-so, the kind and simple man, as he was sitting in his house because he had no other place to escape.
I saw people confused by the number of victims - because of their large number—‘How many dead did we count today? Did we miscount? I told you, in the last hour, two girls came as martyrs, two children with bleeding heads, ten young men who came without vital signs in one fell swoop at the very least, lumps of flesh (parts) in a small bag, and open heads from which the brain can be seen.’
I sat with someone who was talking to himself and asking: ‘All these injured and martyrs were like us an hour ago, they were with us.’
A little while ago they were alive (like us), so when will our turn come?”
meanwhile, we have people making excuses saying palestinians are given “ample time to evacuate”. evacuate where?! where should they go? everywhere they go there is murder, rubble, bombings and destruction. nowhere is safe. it’s all a trap!
where. should. they. go?
this is their homeland. there are not going anywhere else. ceasefire and end occupation NOW!!
CONTACT YOUR REPS AND CALL FOR CEASEFIRE AND AN END TO OCCUPATION
PROTEST!
let the world know you stand with palestine. let the world know it MUST at any cost, dismantle the state of israel and free the palestinians.
demand the rights of the palestinians. demand they be given back their land. THIS is what land back means. the palestinians must be given their land back in its entirety.
from the river to the sea, palestine must be freed.
there are no more negotiations to be made. they must be free. this has gone too far for too long. israeli aggression is intolerable and the world will no longer stand for it nor make excuses for it. this is not a war. these people are not collateral. this is a textbook case of genocide and it, and the israeli occupation, must be stopped.

Today is the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People. Keep talking about it. Keep it on the front page. Do not let a genocide continue in silence.

Green Shapes
This painting is a remake of one made when I just started working with acrylics, trust when I say that this is an improvement.

Horrors Hide Behind Beauty
10/11/23, acrylic on canvas
I think the strongest part of this painting has to be the hair, I think I did a great job with separating the strands.
