Hi 👋, My name is Mohammad, and I’m reaching out in a moment of desperate need. I’m a father of three young children living in Gaza, and we are caught in the midst of a catastrophic war. Our home is no longer a safe haven, and the future here seems increasingly uncertain. 💔

I’ve launched a fundraising campaign with the goal of raising $40,000 to relocate my family to a safer place where my children can grow up in peace and have a chance at a brighter future. 🕊️🇵🇸

Unfortunately, my previous fundraising efforts were abruptly halted when my account was terminated without explanation. However, I remain determined to keep fighting for my family’s safety and well-being. 🫶

If you could take a moment to read our story, consider donating, or simply share our campaign with others, it would make an incredible difference. Every act of kindness, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to safety and a new beginning. 🙏

Thank you for your time, compassion, and support. ❤

thank you so so much for existing, Mohammad (and every other man, woman, and child in Gaza/Palestine). i know that times are incredibly hard right now, and it is hard to keep hope, but i'll always stand for you. i am sadly unable to donate at the moment, but i'll definitely answer this ask and spread your message out.

Hello, I am Malak Muhammad from the Gaza Strip, a mother of three children. I hope you will reblog my message. I hope you can help me donate or spread the word about my campaign https://www.tumblr.com/malokamohamed?source=share

🙏🙏🙏🥺

of course, of course. it's important to spread these around. i am currently unable to donate but if anyone sends me asks like this i'll post them.

softness for today before i head to bed.

imagine your love interest holding you as you let out years and years of built up emotion into one singular moment. you're laying down in a comfy bed, surrounded by the soft sheets and blankets and feeling their arms enveloping you into the safest embrace you've ever, ever felt. they're rocking you from side to side, rubbing your back, stroking your hair, and murmuring comforting words into your ear. they love you so, so much, and they think you deserve so much better than to carry all of this burdening weight on your shoulders... so they'll carry it for you for a while. for as long as you need it.

"i'm here... i'm here. it's okay. you're okay. let it out for me. it's alright... i'll always love you, okay?"

2.5k raised / 7.5k to go Hey yall, this is a small update for the last post I made about the emergency announcement (Found here). I managed to hit over 2k in a few days which is so so incredible, I cannot thank you guys enough for the support ;;; Me and a few friends of mine are working hard together to take on commissions to help in the funding process.

If you cannot support me, that is completely alright!! Please share this around to others that's all I ask. Every little bit counts no matter how small. Thank you all for your patience and understanding. I am deeply humbled for all of your help so far. I will be sure to keep you all updated as time goes on! Side note: I added in a Ko-fi in case PayPal is a bit wonky for some folks. I also fixed up my Patreon tiers for the monthly sketches. See my socials, tip jar, ko-fi, patreon and shops. If you are interested in getting a commission from me, my commission info is also in here as well

i think the world doesn’t know what it really means to live in a theocratic dictatorship. Let me tell you about our experiences living in the islamic regime of iran.

1. Your parents were born to muslim parents so they’re automatically muslim. You’re automatically a muslim too. You didn’t choose your religion and you can’t opt out of it or you will be executed.

2. The compulsory hijab law makes you a criminal if you choose not to wear hijab even tho you didn’t choose to be a muslim and you don’t consider yourself a muslim but the regime has forced you into that role whether you like it or not. And when you ‘break that law’, they can do with you as they please.

3. little girls as young as 7 yrs old are forced to wear hijab at school even tho the islam itself says the age is 9. and all the schools are gender segregated so imagine how they force you to get used to hijab even when you’re just surrounded by other girls. And all day long at school they tell you horrible stories about what will happen to you in hell if someone sees even a strand of your hair.

4. the regime modifies all the textbooks, story books, cartoons and movies to represent the ideal woman with full on hijab. The iranian media is ordered to photoshop every photo of a woman that may be showing a little skin. And if they’re iranian, no hair is supposed to be seen or that will be photoshopped away. Women are mostly excluded from billboards and tv commercials.

5. imagine going to work or meeting up with a friend when suddenly the morality police kidnap you in broad daylight and force you into a van to take you to a station where they will treat you like a criminal and if you don’t agree to get humiliated and do as they say, they will put you in prison. And in case of Mahsa Amini and so many more before her, they will beat you to death. My sister was barely 18 when she got kidnapped and they didn’t let her call home and she’d been so fucking scared and we had no idea where she was. Imagine all the psychological trauma.

6. If you’re in a car and not wearing hijab they will fine you and seize your car. So when u get into a taxi the driver will ask you to keep your hijab on otherwise they’ll get fined. And if you refuse they’ll ask you to get off the car.

7. And its not just about hijab. In Ramadan, they get even more vicious. If they catch you eating or even drinking water on the street they will give you lashes as punishment and even imprison you for breaking the law. If you work in a state-owned company it’s even worse. They will close the cafeteria and take away the water dispensers. All restaurants are banned from delivering food before iftar. It’s a fucking mess. Everyone has to pretend they’re fasting or they’ll be severely punished.

8. And how could I forget about this! iranian women are banned from singing! the islamic regime prohibits women’s singing voices to be heard by men so imagine the horror of having 50% of the population banned from ever becoming a singer. If they identify a female singer in iran, they will take her to jail and force her to repent her sins in the most humiliating way so that she will never dare sing again.

9. And every time the regime gets wind of a private gathering of men and women trying to have fun and live their fucking private lives, the police crash the party and take everyone to jail bc the Islamic regime bans iranian men and women from having fun.

So if you see Islam has become for many iranians a symbol of oppression and torture and discrimination, that’s why. The regime uses islam as a weapon to silence and punish anyone who opposes them. You can love islam all you want from the safety of your home in a free country and talk about how kind and benevolent the religion is, but in iran, it’s a whole different story.

Our economy is fucked. All govt officials are corrupt as fuck. Most websites are banned in iran. Even tumblr is banned. The world has cut the iranian ppl from many services. We don’t have intl credit cards like visa card. Amazon doesn’t do delivery to iran. We cant get netflix, spotify or even a gamepass subscription. we don’t get any Apple services here. iran isn’t listed as a country you could choose when signing up for a lot of services. and when we decide to leave iran and escape this hellhole, every country out there will make it sooo much harder for us to get a visa just bc we had the misfortune to be born in iran at the wrong time.

This is the story of iran for the past 44 years. Held hostage by a corrupt regime that uses religion to suppress and torture the people and being abandoned by the rest of the world bc our lives don’t matter.

Please be our voice. Once they shut down the internet completely and silence our voice, they will start slaughtering us to stifle the protests just like they did in 2019. Please help us. We want this fucking regime gone.

#my wife is on the SOR for being gay #no joke #she hit on a girl in a straight bar once #in 1997 #and while the girl was into it #the off duty cop sitting nearby was not #and so he arrested her for ‘soliciting homosexual activity’ #which in our state was still a felony #in 1997 (and would remain so until Lawrence v Texas in 2003) #and since ‘soliciting homosexual activity’ was a felony and a sex crime #she got put on The List #she is still on there to this day #because it costs MONEY to ask a judge to take you off #and she has tried four times#since 2003 #to get taken off the SOR #but every time the judge has said something like ‘no you pled guilty to the crime i can’t possibly take you off the sex offender registry’ #with no acknowledgement of what the actual crime was #(the crime of being a butch lesbian hitting on a cute girl who was into it) #(in 1997)

Reposting these tags with consent from the person that wrote them. The post about the Sex Offenders Registry is locked, but these tags are too important to go unnoticed.

Younger queer people need to realize that the SOR being used against queer people simply for being queer isn’t some ancient history thing. It still impacts queer people today. And it can quite easily be used that way again.

it's late by a day and i apologize, but this is important.

if you don't do anything else today,

Please have a moment of silence for the people who were killed instead of freed when news of emancipation finally reached the furthest corners of the american south.

have another moment for the ledgers, catalogs, and records that were burned and the homes that were destroyed to hide the presence of very much alive and still enslaved people on dozens of plantations and homesteads across the south for decades after emancipation.

and have a third moment for those who were hunted and killed while fleeing the south to find safety across the border, overseas, in the north and to the west.

black people. light a candle, write a note to those who have passed telling them what you have achieved in spite of the racist and intolerant conditions of this world, feel the warmth of the flame under your hand, say a prayer of rememberance if you are religious, place the note under the candle, and then blow it out.

if you have children, sit them down and tell them anything you know about the life of oldest black person you've ever met. it doesn't have to be your own family. tell them what you know about what life was like for us in the days, years, decades after emancipation. if you don't know much, look it up and learn about it together.

This is Juneteenth.

white people CAN interact with this post. share it, spread it.

i'm just here. i am literally just here

im bored

not stating my sexuality

If you support gay marriage reblog this. If you're on the homophobic side, keep scrolling.

As a bisexual, it sickens me that some people WILL keep scrolling.

[my blog really is losing its shine though lmfao]

i apologize this took so long and i know i said in the before milestone post thingy that id have requests open but its getting later and i dont think i can open my requests right now as i still have some to do. so the event i had planned for this milestone will be used in the next, im super sorry!

anyways, woo 700! this is crazy! thank you so so much this is just, AH!

for this milestone im gonna do a little giveaway since im a bit overworked right now

info under the cut!

1st Place: Character x Personality type headcanons

This is a mini introduction into the next event. Basically, you will receive a character of your choosing with an S/O who is [personality type]. This will be based on the MBTI (Myer's Briggs Type Indicator) The different types are in the picture below.

The winner of this will give me their personality type (or a random one) to write about.

2nd Place: A matchup

3rd Place: An shitty icon

I am not very confident in my editing at all, but I couldn't really think of another prize that won't stress me out and I think editing is fun even though I think I'm horrible at it. Also, if you win this keep in mind I'm not amazing at it so if you could keep the request to a color and character. Here's an example (with and without border):

The giveaway will close on April 25. To enter you just need to reblog and be following me.

Thank you again for 700+! It means the world! I love you all! - Mod Ibuki

[i never knew about this, and it's rather important.]

PLEASE READ. WILL NOT HURT TO AND FORWARD. Kids are putting Drano, tin foil, and a little water in plastic drink bottles and capping it up - leaving it on lawns, in mail boxes, in gardens, on driveways etc. just waiting for you to pick it up intending to put it in the rubbish, but you’ll never make it!!!

If the bottle is picked up, and the bottle is shaken even just a little - in about 30 seconds or less it builds up enough gas which then explodes with enough force to remove some your extremities. The liquid that comes out is boiling hot as well. Don’t pick up any plastic bottles that may be lying in your yards or in the gutter, etc. Pay attention to this. A plastic bottle with a cap. A little Drano. A little water. A small piece of foil. Disturb it by moving it; and BOOM!! No fingers left and other serious effects to your face, eyes, etc. Please ensure that everyone that may not have email access are also informed of this. 

Snopes confirms.

HELP!!!!

so… my old computer is FRIED, and i had to get a new one. a 1600 dollar new one. i am gonna be in serious debt. so i’m doing emergency commissions, and also accepting donations. seriously im HELLA in need of some help. my kofi for commissions is here, and my p*ypal is here for commissions too. or just to donate. i’ll be setting a goal on my kofi for the new computer if you want to see how far i am on my goal there. 

and to add insult to injury, i lost all my icons too… all of them. aside from the ones i posted here or shared on dropbox, and i didnt share my little grape themed ones on dropbox. so i need to remake those. im so bummed out… 

reblogs, sharing this in servers, and actually commissioning me would be BIG HELP. thanks everyone.
