I Am Not Your Asian American Doll: a comic for AAPI Heritage Month 2023
I usually spend a lot of time editing and fine-tuning my comics so that they come across as polite and inoffensive. But honestly, I’m really tired of the way Asian cultures and countries are treated / talked about while Asian people themselves are excluded, and thought it was about time I really let my rage out lol.

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.
I am consumed by fear that my mother might die in Gaza while I am far away, unable to help her. The thought of her suffering alone in such a dangerous place breaks my heart. I feel so helpless and terrified, knowing I can't be there to protect her or bring her to safety. Every day is filled with anxiety and dread, as I hope and pray for her survival amidst the chaos.

Dear Friends,
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to share an urgent plea for help. Due to the ongoing conflict in Gaza, my family and I have been forced to flee our home and seek refuge in Khan Younis. My mother, who is pregnant, is in critical need of assistance to ensure her safety and the safety of her unborn child.
We are facing severe hardships and are struggling to provide her with the necessary medical care and basic necessities. I have launched a campaign to raise funds for my mother's survival during this perilous time.
Your support in sharing our campaign on social media could make a life-saving difference. Please help us spread the word and gather the support we desperately need.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Sincerely,
Please help us by sharing the post on your page so that we can collect donations and get out of the war. You are our hope. I will be very grateful to you . ❤️🙏🏼

URGENT 🚨
Attention please 🙏
Hello, I am Ahmed. I am 22 years old. I study medical equipment engineering at Al-Azhar University in Gaza, which was recently destroyed due to the difficult and terrible war that Gaza City is going through.


I had one year left to graduate, but the war destroyed everything. I lost my education, my father lost his job and his small shop.


I hope that you will help me and stand by my side in saving me and my family, starting over, completing my education, and building my life and future after it was destroyed.

Emergency: Help my family survive and start a new life
Hello everyone, I hope you take a minute to read our story.
I’m Hazem Shawish, trying to save my family from the war
We’re a family of 8 members, me, my mother, and I have 4 brothers and two sisters. And their kids
Islam (30) years old
Samer (29)
Hashem (31)
Mohammad (35)
Nisreen (37) @nisreensuhil
Noor (36).
Kids:
Amal (12)
Kenzy (17)
Zoheer (19)


On the sad day of October 9, 2023, an unforgettable day, it was a dream like a nightmare. I was returning home to Gaza and my family, the women and children, were leaving the house in fear. They told me that the Israeli Defense Forces had ordered them to evacuate all the houses immediately. I was surprised and could not believe it. I entered the house quickly and went out. My father is crippled and fear grips my heart. Half an hour after the call, the warplanes destroyed the house. We miraculously survived, but my brother Samer was injured in his feet.
In the shadow of conflict, our family has faced unimaginable hardships. The passing of my father, a victim to the cruel grasp of hunger and inadequate healthcare, left a void in our lives, underscoring the fragility of our existence here. My brother, Samer, battles bipolar disorder, a condition exacerbated by the ongoing war and the severe shortage of essential medications. Without access to the necessary treatment, his life is at risk, and we live in constant fear for his well-being amidst the chaos that surrounds us. These personal tragedies have deepened the urgency of our situation.
My brother Samer

Every day is a struggle for survival, and each night is filled with prayers for a brighter tomorrow. Yet, amidst the darkness, we hold onto hope, seeking solace in the belief that one day, the clouds of war will dissipate, and we will find the peace and stability we so desperately crave. Until then, we endure, clinging to the threads of our resilience, and nurturing dreams of a safer, healthier future for us all.
Our home, once a sanctuary of love and warmth, was destroyed, displacing us into a life of uncertainty and fear. The laughter of my children and my sister's daughters, once the music of our home, is now silenced by the echoes of conflict. They deserve a future where education and happiness are not just dreams but realities.

Our entire neighborhood In Gaza Before and after
we had a supermarket that helped as to live and earn money
but it was bombed and we have nothing now
pic of our supermarket

But our challenges are not just physical; they are emotional and psychological. The loss of my father and the imminent threat to my brother's life weigh heavily on us. My mother, who has endured so much, faces the unimaginable fear of losing another child. For her, for my brother, for my children, and for the future of our family, we seek a new beginning.
We dream of a place far from the sounds of war— we want to be safe with my family we dream to move to Egypt to save ourselves
This journey is more than a physical relocation; it is a quest for dignity, for normalcy, for the very essence of what makes life worth living. We seek to restore what conflict has stripped from us: our home, our health, and our hope.
We turn to you, not just as donors, but as fellow humans who understand the power of compassion and community. Your support, in any form, is a beacon of hope in our darkest times. It represents solidarity and a shared belief in the sanctity of life and the right to a safe and peaceful existence.
Our dream is simple yet seems a world away:
to escape to Egypt .
for children to pursue education and a life unshaded by conflict, and for us to honor my father's memory in a land of peace.




However, this dream bears a significant cost, one that is beyond our reach. For each of us to make this journey, to cross borders towards a life of safety and dignity, we estimate the need for at least $5,000 per person. This sum covers the complex tapestry of legal, travel, and initial resettlement expenses.

Thank you for hearing our story, for your empathy, and for considering standing with us as we embark on this journey to a new life.🇵🇸🍉❤️🩹🙏
With heartfelt gratitude,
Hazem Shawish

Dear Reader, I implore you to take a moment to reflect on my words. Your compassion and support could be the lifeline that saves my family from despair. 💔🇵🇸🍉 My name is Muhammad Musa, and I am a 26-year-old father living in Gaza. I find myself in an unimaginable situation, having endured the horrors of war. My wife and I welcomed our first child into this world amidst chaos, a moment I had long awaited but which turned into a struggle for survival. 😢 For the past 10 months, we have faced relentless adversity. We have been uprooted from our home more times than I can count, fleeing without adequate transportation. With only a few belongings and the bare essentials, we sought refuge wherever we could find it. I had to make the heart-wrenching decision to have my wife give birth in a shelter, without the basic necessities—no diapers, no milk, just hope and determination. 💔 Now, with our home destroyed and our dreams shattered, I am reaching out for your help. I have created a donation account to secure a better future for my wife and our newborn son. Your contribution, even a small amount of $20, can make a significant difference in our lives. It can provide us with the means to escape the dire conditions in Gaza and protect my son from the epidemics and diseases that threaten his fragile existence. Every dollar counts, and your generosity can be the beacon of hope that leads us to safety. Please consider donating to our cause; your kindness could save my family from the brink of despair. Thank you for taking the time to read my story. Together, we can make a difference. With heartfelt gratitude, Muhammad Musa [Donation Link: https://gofund.me/25affbbb] 🇵🇸🍉

My family is in a very danger situation due to the ongoing war, and I've launched a GoFundMe campaign to save them. Could you please share my campaign post from my profile? Each share could be a lifeline for my family. 🙏 Feel free to share it in any other social media platform if you would like. Our campaign has been verified ⭐️ by operation olive branch, and is entry number 26 on their spreadsheet. Also with ⭐️ Project watermelon,line 249/(212) on their spreadsheet. From the bottom of my heart I want to thank you in advance for all of your support and kindness.

tbh i don't think people really understand how dire the water situation is in the west bank. the last time i was in palestine, i could only shower once a month. ONCE A MONTH. we simply did not have enough water to sustain my whole family, because israel controls palestinians' water supply and does not give us enough to sustain ourselves in the long run. plus the water isn't very clean so it was very easy to get sick all the time. when we say that "palestinians drink more olive oil than water", it's not genuinely such a silly hyperbole as you might think.
fundraising on here is genuinely making me cynical in ways that feel so fucking foul, do you know how it feels to sit here trying to come up with 'strategies' to tell a new interesting story every day to get people's attention for someone surviving a literal genocide. like genuinely i do not want to believe that most people are so thoughtless and careless that they would turn away from mohammed and his family simply because one of my posts doesn't catch their attention like a youtube thumbnail but what am i supposed to think when every 18–24 hours the campaign stagnates again because i miscalibrated and people didn't see a perfectly cute kid photo or enough coloured text. idek what to say i wish that i had a million krona and i would just fund the whole thing and not ever think about how to package a story so that a genocide can generate compelling social media posts day in and day out. it's the polar fucking opposite of how i ever want to think about this atrocity it makes me feel dirty and slimy and not even dirty enough to be reliably succeeding. i just want people to fucking care enough for them to buy a packet of biscuit rations on the black market and it's like pulling fucking teeth
Stand with us in these difficult moments in our lives
This is me, Mohammed from Gaza 🍉🇵🇸🍉
I'd really appreciate it if you would share my donation campaign in your blog.
I am a father of family of 11 people who were forced displaced from North of Gaza to south of Gaza (currently at Deir al-balah)
We need your help and support to cover the cost of basic life needs in Gaza, to cover my medical bills and transportation to and from hospital where I go 2-times a week for Kidney dialysis.
Thanks in advance

Urgent: stagnant campaign!
Please take a look at the gofundme for Mohammed Almadhoun @eazeldin and his family! Mohammed is a graphic designer from Gaza. He has been raising funds to evacuate his family since May, and is still less than 10% of the way to his goal.



Mohammed writes:
We are jobless, desperate, and fearful for our lives due to the continuous barbaric bombings. We feel as if we are waiting for our turn to die.


(instagram @/palestinian_survivor19)
He and his family are living in tents, exposed to epidemic diseases and unsanitary conditions along with daily bombings. They are suffering severely due to the shortages of food, water, and medicine.

Important PSA for my blog atm
I'll apologize for the lack of art and activity here but I'll NEVER apologize for the abundance of palestine related asks and posts
Those are so important and it needs to be brought up for the sake of helping those millions of people who are suffering and trying to survive
If you are mad after seeing thousands of donation/awareness posts and asks from palestinians instead of the random colorful pictures I make, fuck you
