In Your Opinion, Will Israel's Pride In Obstructing The Entry Of Humanitarian Aid Be Enough To Convince

I've been trying to make characters to go with my brother's oc Cadmus, and I finally have some! Left is Mitsuaki, a warrior from Xinaru and resistance fighter. Middle is Asra, a lich and necromancer! And right is of course Cadmus :p

@doodlesdreaming let me draw her boy Theo! here he is with Lulia!

BEHOLD!!! A NEW PROJECT!!!

A Cakeling (depicted on the left) is a being made of food, magic, and a wish! Making a cakeling is very much like cooking/baking. They're very small creatures, about the size of a small child when fully grown, and very curious! They all live in Tartlet Town, where they are safe under the watchful gaze of Hershel the Wizard. (depicted right) What's outside of Tartlet Town's walls? Not much. There are monsters galore and ruins of massive cities, so it's very dangerous! But these sweet creatures are up to the task of exploring!!!

a Ravio and Hilda for no reason in particular! not writing anything, no...

Are you an English speaker willing to volunteer a few minutes of your time to answer a few questions about Palestine?

Mahmoud @ma7moudgaza2 is a web developer based in Gaza. He is currently still studying, and you may have seen his fundraiser or his spotlighting for fellow Gazan fundraisers.

Mahmoud has taken up a project to publish a website aimed at foreigners who want to learn more about Palestine. He is currently in the information-gathering phase, where he is hoping to ask you all a few questions about how much information the average foreigner knows about Palestine, and what they would be personally interested in learning about. I've seen the first couple of pages, and the project looks lovely!

If you're interested in lending a few minutes of your time to Mahmoud, please do get in contact with him!

if you're subscribed to Microsoft word, you probably received an email recently saying they're upping their prices. Like, a lot. ($9.99/month instead of $6.99)

guess what though? you can log into your account, click Cancel Subscription, and get the option to continue your subscription at the same price WITHOUT their bullshit AI.

That's right, the new, higher price is actually a different subscription that includes AI that everyone is being opted into by force! What a cool and fun product that clearly everyone wants.

you can also choose to buy Word 2024 without AI for a single lump sum that will be yours in perpetuity, with no updates, for one computer.

Check your subscription if you need Word for work! Don't get duped into paying for something you might not even want

ok last thing. but what people fundamentally need to get through their heads is the significance of gaza fundraisers not being the same as like mutual aid when you're helping someone get groceries, because it is a genocide. there is insane deliberate scarcity and prices are unmanageable, because there is nowhere nearly enough for everyone, so only people who can pay can eat. and what positioning individual fundraisers as the only course of action does is quite simply give a tiny percentage of random people whose fundraisers take off the ability to pay those prices while thousands of others can't. and every one of those thousands of people without a fundraiser is suffering through the same inconceivably horrific reality. it is giving a few completely desperate people out of hundreds of thousands a slightly more favorable position in a horrific war economy of imposed scarcity. and what grassroots community kitchens do is try to mitigate in some small way that inconceivable hierarchy of who can pay and who can't, by stretching ingredients as far as they can last to cook meals at large scale and give them out at no cost. and obviously people are still going to send money to their friends and families because this is hell what else are we supposed to do but please just think about that before promoting endless individual fundraisers as somehow the most ethical way to help

commissions for @callmestarfle! thank you!!!
