URGENT: Get Shaima to 80k BY SUNDAY

i will make a more detailed post about this tomorrow but when it boils down to it i need you all to know this: time is running dangerously low for Shaima and Muhammad's families to evacuate.

yesterday 1am the kids were woken up by deafening explosions extremely close to al-Mawasi—another iof targeted airstrike aiming for refugee camps. the family was forced to flee without any of their possessions. they are now officially tentless.

to make matters worse, Hala agency contacted Wafaa to tell her that she needs to have the full campaign amount ready by August 18 if she wants her family to be registered for evacuation together. We still have about 28k left to raise.

we have less than SEVEN DAYS in order to help this tentless and starving family evacuate. they have been displaced more than 10 times now, and the kids are sleeping exposed on the sidewalks of Khan Younis. I opened Al-Jazeera literally 15 minutes ago and the iof is bombing Khan Younis AS WE SPEAK. Please. I don't know how else to urge you to donate, the lives of 10 children and their parents literally are in your hands.

The last donations made were from more than half an hour ago. Please do all that you can to save these children from constant siege and bombings. Please save a new mother from contracting potentially deadly postpartum infections. Please help rekindle hope for Wafaa to reunite with her beloved family.

Currently $51,924 raised of $80,000 goal as of August 11 end of day, we need to raise the remaining $28,076 in the next seven days. For the price of a cup of coffee, you can save a family.

Two raffles being held simultaneously by me, winners will both be announced at the start of September (this deadline was set before I knew about Hala agency's stipulations. we still need this campaign to be completed THIS WEEK). please donate what you can and enter one of the two raffles: a crocheted Magikarp plush or a custom screen-print tote bag.

im so obsessed with this game

I forgot I do traditional art too lol take these

okay but techno finding comfort in playing games and continuing to make videos to post because it’s what he loves despite going through chemotherapy which truly can be such a rough process is making me so emotional holy shit. he always manages to keep such a positive outlook on things and i wish nothing but the best for him. he’s going to make it through this <3

i can't get this tweet out of my head

URGENT! TRANS WOMAN IN TROUBLE: I haven’t gotten any donations in a few days, and I need to.

hi everyone, i’ve been in immigration limbo for a few years now, and covid has made it worse. i have been deported twice since the start of the pandemic, and lost most of my material belongings because of it.

i plan to file for a residence permit next month, and it’s time-sensitive. if i am successful, i’ll have legal status for the first time since 2017. if i can prove i have 2000€ in the bank account, i’ll get it. i do not have 2000€ in my bank account.

i’ve raised over half the money through other posts, but i need to raise almost 1000€ in the next week or two

https://ko-fi.com/sadstoned/

I do not want to get upset or snap, but many people are losing their patience, me included.

One of the big and mildly upsetting events of this decade (yet not nearly as tragic as obvious disasters humanity has faced), is how the dream smp fandom tags their stuff.

I’ll put this lightly: it is being seen as greatly annoying and distressing to see spam and improperly tagged posts. It is spam, it is clogging up posts, it is rude and ignores basic internet ettequite.

Please, I am begging you, do not use #minecraft or #mineblr. You have #dream smp, #dsmp, and #mcyt.

For the love of everyone and yourself, use YOUR tags and YOUR tags alone.

Okay to reblog

#2

as i pass through the second circle,

i wonder ‘is this inferno able to hold all us sinners?’

‘will it ever be enough for the long lines of fools,

of the liars and the traitors?’

brimstone and basalt beneath my feet and in my nose; not an unfamiliar feeling

as i watch the souls devour each other

in reckless fury, passion

on the backdrop of a hurricane of blue fire, carbon on hydrogen

crashing bodies on bodies,

with the echo of the endless storm in my mind,

i feel burning nostalgia in my hands,

in my mouth

for our earthly time together, burning coldly

and slowly in the remnants of my mind,

already half eaten, empty

by Ugolino, hiding her half-eaten fingers from my blind eyes

we are all fools, i more than most

for willingly walking into a sulfuric hell,

and for letting myself get eaten, like roadkill

by a devil who could never be satisfied.

as i crawl my way down to the bottom,

the last circle, lust to treachery

to the icy depths of this menagerie of our creation,

i know that if there isn’t enough room for us

so i will make room

as i forced my stomach to give space in its tiny insides

for your ravenous hunger, too much for two.

i will make room in the bottom for us

to make sure the devil devours us both,

judas, brutus; they can watch

as He chooses which of us will be the greatest feast.

they will vote, of course, with their half eaten hands and minds, on whom will be ripped apart first

and be sure, my dear

they have not seen our insides, thawing and clawing

they can jest, but never know the extent

of the crime committed,

we may be frozen in the lake together, but

there is not enough space in this devils mouth for the both of us

your cold blood will serve as a better appetizer,

than mine, i will stand and watch

endlessly burning, endlessly waiting

for starvation to take its toll

on my soul,

ripped from my body.

-L
