Shout Out To All The Black Ppl That Can No Longer Participate Directly In The Fandom They Love Because

Shout out to all the Black ppl that can no longer participate directly in the fandom they love because of the stresses of racism 👍🏾 you contain multitudes of value and I'm sorry that the color of your skin and the power of your voice makes people not want to acknowledge that.

If anybody ever needs to get out of a social situation feel free to say you have to feed my cat. Her name is Churro, she can't be fed with an automatic feeder because she'll overeat. Here's a picture if they ask for proof.

one of these onslaught bounties is not like the others...

Art for Palestine Children's Relief Fund Donations

Donations so far: 0

How to get art: donate 20$ or more directly to [PCRF] and send me a screenshot of your receipt. They take paypal. You only need to fill out your name and country for it not the whole form.  Alternatively you can send the money to my PayPal, and I will donate to them on your behalf. In that case please note that you need to send via "Friends and Family" as I am not able to make up the fees that PayPal would take from your donation if you sent it as a payment. 

Note: Example receipt shows 5$, you need to donate 20$ or more to get art.

Why offer Art?  As a 'Thank you' for donating. When you don't have a lot of money (like most of us here, I imagine) it's hard to just send some off to an account with nothing but a receipt to show for it. It feels a bit like throwing a tenner down a wishing-well and hoping does something, right? You know it'll be used, you know they need it, but it's hard. So I decided to make myself the 'middle man' and give you something concrete in turn. I have the time, I have the skill, what I don't have is money to donate.

Ok, what's the Art? A colored simple digital art portrait / headshot of your character at the classic 45°. It won't be perfect. Can be human / humanoid / anthro / feral, though please note that my skill lies with drawing human and human-like heads/faces. Proof of skill: I have a commission post [here]. Someone left a positive TH Service Review [here]. And of course my art tumblr, this blog.

Example:

Refunds or Revisions: No. You're not paying me, this is gifted art as a thank you for donating.

Steps: 

Write me in DMs, or email me (tacticalTaxonomist at outlook dot com) with a link/references of the character you want drawn (color and head reference necessary).

I reply to accept or decline depending on if I have time.

If accepted, you donate 20$ or more, and send me the receipt.

Wait for art. I intend to take a few days at most, but it may be longer.

Reblogs welcome!

I think one element of Israeli propaganda that a lot people are unintentionally aligning themselves with is the idea of Gaza as the main target of Israeli violence. During the "truce" even, so many people talking about how it was a "pause" even though people in the West Bank, Damascus, and Lebanon were still being killed by Israeli forces because the "truce" was only negotiated for Gaza (where it was also not adhered to). But as a Lebanese person with family in Lebanon and Palestinian loved ones, I need people to remember that Gaza is not a state. Gaza isn't a country. Israel won't destroy Gaza and call it a day as if Gaza is their main goal because it's not. It's "from the river to the sea Palestine will be free" because the free Palestine movement is about ending Israeli occupation of all Palestine and surrounding countries. It's not a reform movement about getting Israel to behave. It's an anti-colonial movement that aims to give ALL of Palestine back to Palestinians. Of course, the extreme violence Israel is enacting on Palestinians in Gaza is horrific. it's also obvious Israel is relying on the horror it's caused in Gaza to distract people from holding them to account for their ongoing violence in the rest of Palestine, as well as Lebanon, Syria and the Congo. Israel divided Palestine up so the world would forget it, don't be party to that. Talk about Gaza, the West Bank, Jenin, Hebron because it's all Palestine and all of it must be free. End the occupation. End the apartheid state of Israel.

Funding Israel for three quarters of a century despite how its mere existence and every act it ever did is proven to be terrorist (for a century in case of the British), but suspending funds to the UNRWA for alleged claims and a sole accusation for having unproven "terrorists" among its staff. What a joke.
