Why did god decide to come down to earth with us?

wanted to feel full. wanted a mom. wanted to love and be loved in fleshy, leaky ways. wanted, most of all, to kill himself. owed it all to the prophets whose bodies broke under him centuries before

I rly hate the Satanic Panic & the moral panic surrounding violence in video games in the 90s, coz it's now impossible to talk about the social implications of violent video games in a realistic sense.

No, violence in video games does not create serial killers in the way most people imagine it would.

However, it's very important to notice how after 9/11, a lot of violent video games pivoted their content from silly gratuitous cartoon gore to more realistic military shooters set in the Levant from a US American lens. It's also important to notice the connection of these games & their toxic online multi-player voice chats to Gamer Gate in 2014.

It's obviously not as black & white as it was presented in the 80s & 90s, I dont think everyone who played early Call of Duty games is a white supremacist who wants to join the military to kill people in the middle east, but I think it's dangerous to pretend like video games or any media can't have an impact on the way people think about violence.

I think what makes all the difference here is how that violence is portrayed, what the message behind it is, what the motives are behind the people who crafted that message, who the victims of that violence are, how they are portrayed & the greater cultural context that surrounds it.

Please support my family. They are very far from reaching their goal.

Donate to Help My Family Get Out Of Gaza, organized by Ghada Banat

I am Ghada, a mother of a child, and I am communicating with you from the heart of Gaza, a … Ghada Banat needs your support for Help My Fami

If you're interested in marnota's art, please consider buying some. And even if you aren't and don't have the funds to donate period, just reblogging this post, firas' posts, or any post related to him and his family is free and gets this campaign to people who actually can donate. not to mention that it takes a literal second. We are just 15 days from August 17th, we cannot afford to stagnate.

EVEN IF YOU'RE NOT INTERESTED IN MY COMMISIONS, PLEASE REBLOG!!!

MY OTHER POST WITH COMMISIONS IN EXCHANGE FOR DONATIONS TO FIRAS' CAMPAIGN, PLEASE, CHECK OUT IF YOU HAVE MORE THAN $9 CAD TO SPARE

After thinking for a while, I have decided to offer small art commisions also for donations between $5 CAD-$9 CAD.

(the character drawn is Flareon from the Pokemon franchise. MORE EXAMPLES WILL BE ADDED SOON!)

👆 A doodle like this will be drawn for you if you chip in anything lower than $10 CAD to this fundraiser:

Which have been shared by 90-ghost

After you'll send me a proof of payment (preferably in dms and with all sensitive information censured) you'll be able to request a small drawing like that.

It can be literally anything; since it's a simple colored doodle, I am willing to do either a headshot, icon, halfbody, fullbody, ect. It can have some basic shading like the one shown on the example. I won't be drawing any kind of NSFW or suggestive stuff, as well as human characters. I would not take commisions from people below the age of 16, as I don't feel comfortable doing so.

I can draw literally any feral or anthro animal character (unless it's from a NSFW source). It can be your favorite Pokemon, or your Warrior Cats blorbo. It can be your OC or a human character turned into a cat. Don't hesitate to ask if you're not sure about what you can request!

The background for that doodle would be simple, most likely one color, unless you'll donate more (like $10 CAD and above) and decide to take a doodle anyways, then you'll be able to request a bit more complex background. If you'll give more than $15 CAD, I could also make more complex shading.

I've already been requested to draw the first commision, and trust me, both me and Firas were super happy about it! Keep in mind that I do not benefit from your donations one bit. Everything goes to Firas and his family. If you have any question, don't be afraid to ask. Please, do everything you can to amplify either this initiative or Firas' campaign. If you know someone who might be interested in my art, consider tagging them in the comments. If you think that your mutuals might like the idea, reblog this on your page. Even if you don't like my art and wouldn't pay for it, at least reblog this or reblog posts from the blog @firasmuhaisenn . Literally, do anything to help. Don't just scroll. I beg you.

Daily update(26) 🇵🇸

300 days

We live in a war of extermination and suffer forced displacement and starvation

300 days since the genocidal war The war on Gaza is not just stories, but rather the end of the stories and dreams of innocent people.

By the way, I stayed in seven places other than my home during “displacement,” and whenever anyone noticed my shyness or distress in my behavior.

He said: Consider the place like your home!

How can I explain to them that I want a “Ya” in my house, affectionate, it is the language that gives you that “Ya” of ownership.

You go on as if you own the world and everything in it!

For my home, who was displaced and killed by a plane in November 2023

I thought you would guard my home alone I let you down So you fell, my dear house!

All the places looked like my home,, but it was not my home!

A new chapter of astonishment and attempts to survive.

Note: My campaign is moving towards the second goal, 20k. Please get me to it by the end of this week 🙏🏽

My hope and dreams are on you 🙏🏽
