Hello, my dear friend π
I am Mahmoud Jihad from Gaza, currently living in a flimsy tent after my home and university were completely destroyed, along with my PC and my city. I was studying Information Technology while caring for my sick father and siblings, but now all my hopes seem shattered. π’
As we face this devastating crisis, I am raising funds to help my family escape from Gaza and to continue my studies abroad π. Every day is a struggle, and your support can make a significant difference in our lives β€οΈ.
My GoFundMe campaign has been verified by @beesandwatermelons β #190.
Please consider sharing, liking, commenting, or donating, even a small amount π.
Your help could be the turning point that saves my family and helps us survive in this harsh and relentless war π.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart! πΉ

reminder that donating just a few $ to gofundme campaigns actually helps, you don't have to donate huge amounts if you don't have the funds, every little bit is useful. give $10, $5, even $1. it all adds up. don't scroll past because you think you can't help. help in your own capacity. donate a dollar. share and speak up.
Monty deserved sm better :(
It's Awful Here
Finished up the Dead Girls piece, and oh I'm love. Decided against a corset for Edith, just a chemise and bloomers. I kinda wish I'd done more with Charlotte's clothes, but they're just Charles' right now. His outfit is pretty gender anyway. Also enjoyed the lighting here - back lighting AND holding the lantern made for some fun puzzles to solve.
Hope you like!
the more i think about the fact that charles never got to confront the cat king, the funnier it is. i guarantee, other than thinking of him as a sexual rival, the cat king has not stopped to consider charles At All. meanwhile charles has a beef the size of the moon. he's strapping explosive devices to the rats in port townshend and training the dogs on rite aid body spray

Remember small donations really do add up. Any amount counts, even $1!
She followed because of the feeling in her gut. Something told her that this time... this time it had to be her, didn't it?
Himiko had to be alive.
Ochako didn't even put up a fight when the masked woman turned on her.
