I won't keep you long. Here are the facts:
Siraj Abudayeh @siraj2024 is a Gazan journalist and a father of three.
He and his family have been displaced 7 times.
They have survived multiple recent massacres in Khan Yunis.
They live in a tent that feels like a "convection oven".
He can hear tank fire across the street.
His parents and siblings escaped Deir al-Balah and are now homeless; he has to care for them too.
He needs to raise $5,000 CAD / $3653 USD by the end of the day.
He's probably gotten a hundred thousand notes on his posts at this point.
This has been meaningless. His campaign moves at a glacial pace.
The Palestinian genocide is the fault of the US, UK, Israel, and the imperial core in general.
When we in the imperial core do not donate to people like him, we perpetuate the genocide.

Burn my bones and liquidfy my organs but what hurt more than the pain in that moment will be the memory of that pain that follows you for years to come. You may not be going through it at the moment but the pain will stamp itself unto your eyelids and scorch your brain. It won't fade. The memory remains. But the pain can fade as you heal. Your bones grow back, stronger and new, not touched by the flames. Your organs will be replaced with new ones given from the generosity of people you may never know or meet. And you will be reborn. The pain and memory does not shape you. You do. If you let it twist you beyond recognition, it will. But you are alive. You have lived and will live. And you will chose the moment you die. The moment you say, "I've had enough of life. Let's try again and do better the next time 'round." And you will be reborn as many times as you need to be. Your bones will grow back as many times as you need. And people will give their hearts for you since you deserve a chance to live. To live as many times as you will let yourself. Try again. The pain is only temporary. The memory you carry with that pain is forever. What will you chose to remember?
People, please be careful. There are also people tracking children and people and putting bids on them based on their profile pictures on whatsapp, tracking and kidnapping them. Especially young children, so please be cautious, especially parents who have their children as their profile pictures.
Please pass this on to everyone so that they are aware of the danger. I don’t how it is all around the world but I know it can’t just be here so please please spread the word. Thank you.
I've always wanted to learn how to be more expressive with colours so here's a weird experiment using bird #36 from yesterday... Just playing around with a colour layer, nothing major. It's definitely more interesting to look at than just plain ol' realistic colours?
It's hard to find a balance between keeping the birds recognisable and stylising them.
Moon Eater~ I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and ate everything and more!
the fight is still on! don’t give up!
If anyone, at all, can match even a 10th of my donation, I'd consider it a massive christmas gift.
Please, help my friend Mohammed. His family is cold, and hungry.
It would mean a great deal to me.
You can find his fundraiser here,
And you can see that it's been vetted by 90-Ghost here.
Guys I just heard there was a temporary ceasefire in Palestine. Small victories.
