I am reaching out on behalf of my dear friend, Mohamad S., who is facing one of the most challenging times of his life. Mohamad is 37 years old and left his homeland in 2015 in search of a safer and better future. He’s a kind, hardworking man, and his small family has always been his greatest priority.
Living abroad, Mohamad has recently endured unimaginable loss and financial strain. Amidst the ongoing conflict in his homeland, his mother passed away, leaving behind his sister and her five young children—the last remaining members of his immediate family.
As the situation worsened, Mohamad managed to help his sister and her children escape to safety in Egypt, covering their immediate needs and securing a temporary refuge for them. Since then, he has been fully responsible for providing everything they need to survive during this transition.
In his efforts to support his family and cope with this devastating loss, Mohamad has found himself deeply in debt. To make matters even more difficult, he recently underwent knee surgery, which limits his ability to return to work for the foreseeable future. This has made it even harder for him to manage his financial responsibilities and the pressing need to provide his family with a stable future.
Mohamad is now working to bring his sister and her five children to join him in Belgium, where he hopes they can find stability and opportunity after all they’ve endured. This transition, however, requires significant resources that he is currently unable to meet alone.
For privacy reasons, we are not sharing Mohamad’s full name, as he has chosen to keep his identity discreet. While he initially refused the idea of asking for help, I couldn’t stand by and watch him struggle alone. I insisted on doing this for him because he deserves a chance to overcome these challenges.
Your contribution will help Mohamad repay the debt incurred during this difficult time, cover ongoing living expenses for his family, and assist with the costs involved in bringing them safely to Belgium.
Mohamad has been a good friend of mine for years, and I’ve always admired his resilience and generosity. Any support, no matter the size, will make an incredible difference in helping Mohamad and his family rebuild their lives after these painful experiences.
Thank you for reading his story and considering helping a man who has always done everything he can for his loved ones.

I was able to find a nurse's outfit to wear at a lovely store. This outfit is usually different than what I see on TV shows… Are these “scrubs”? I feel really, um, exposed wearing these… So much so that if I drop anything that requires bending over, kneeling or anything, that… um, well, you get the picture.
I think I look rather cute and ready to heal those in need!✨
If it hasn't been stated before, I'm human.
Or… At least I thought I was…
Due to… Events that will be touched upon soon, I found out that my bloodline is very mixed. Turns out I'm not just a human, but a succubi, dracolich and siren! Man, my ancestors must have really loved monsters as much as I do.
It takes some getting used to, having gone through a metamorphosis and having all these new abilities. One of them being that I can get dragon body parts! But I don't really have much control over it—it seems more emotion-based. So, uh, if anyone is willing to donate a new PS5 controller outta the kindness of their heart, heh…💧 I should probably take a break from COD:MW II…
Swap fell red enthusiast here again, just wondering what a normal daily routine the swap aus have looks like. Also your art keeps me entertained so thank you!
I'm glad you're enjoying! I'm not good at those kinds of questions, so I hope you'll have this instead 😁
Hubby and I are out of town, because he's participating in a special Magic: The Gathering draft event and while he's doing that, I'm crocheting more eggs.
Two girls saw the display models I have and immediately wanted them. Their Dad was more than happy to pay DOUBLE the asking price for the 10K and Shadow Egg.
Their names are Moonlight and Sunlight. I hope they enjoy their new homes!
I made some lovely Pokémon Egg display models! Read more to check out what I got!
2K Egg
5K Egg
7K Egg (Gift given through friends)
10K Egg
12K Egg (Reward for defeating a Team Rocket Boss)
And this one is my own special creation—the Shadow Egg!
This design was an inspiration from an old Pokémon game I played, Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness.
I do plan on adding these lovely eggs to my Ko-Fi Shop as they are or as keychains! But if you're wanting them before they're listed, my commissions are always open! Here are the prices I have in mind for the eggs:
$5 as they are
$7 as a keychain
Thank you all SO much for reading my post! Enjoy this pic of Lynx napping with Snom. 🫰🏾
So, uhh... TikTok was gone, but... Now it's back? So I guess I can post this now!
I've been meaning to upload this for a while, but apparently my body needed this thing called "sleep". I know, I know, ridiculous.
But hey! Look at this Snow Bunny Hat! I got inspiration from the Japanese Snow Bunnies you would sometimes see in anime and I thought it would make a cute hat! Best part is, the ears double as a scarf! Isn't that neat?
If there is enough interest, I will post this hat up in my store on my Ko-Fi page. I have a ton of different bunny hat designs and more and may post them on here. Feel free to leave a comment! I appreciate it and you guys!
Stay warm, everyone!

I'm currently going through my yarn stash to collect colors. Sooooo far—warning, I'm in hyperfixation mode—I got all the colors I believe I need listed. These color names are based from the JoAnn store brand Big Twist.
Base Sweater: Varsity Blue Sapphire Varsity Navy Blue
Donuts(est 19 counted)/Sherff Badges/Letters: Baby Pink Lilac/Soft Purple Nile Green Toffee Cream/Caramel Varsity Gold Varsity Red White
Now the next thing I gotta do is list all the donut color combos. They come in sprinkles and two types of swirls.
I'm going through my yarn stash(I don't have a problem, I have a perfectly healthy amount of yarn collected, shut up) and see what colors I have. It isn't gonna be perfect, but it'll be close enough color-wise. I will be documenting/recording the whole process of the sweater.
If—IF—I'm successful on this and if I get any requests from folks who wanna buy one of their own, it'll be posted on my Ko-Fi page along with all my other crochet goods.
...Hell, maybe I could do a giveaway if I ever reached 500 or 1000 followers on my BlueSky. That's something to think about if that ever happened. 🤔
I... Am SO TEMPTED to crochet this goddamn beautiful abomination of a sweater. It seems simple enough. It's basically a bunch of granmy squares with sewn on amigurumi donuts. It would be time consuming, but I am so tempted...
Would anyone want one? Or am I the only one who absolutely adored this sweater? 🤔
Twitch is gonna start kinda censoring queer people and it would be really helpful if you could read the next few sentences and then also go to a link and click the word vote.
They're implementing a new rule where if you discuss "sensitive social issues" at all you have to flag your streams as such, these issues include things like war and political unrest but also any lgbtq topics (once again our existence is political).
Essentially a streamer will have to choose between never ever mentioning anything queer (or even just discussing their own life if they're queer themselves) or flagging every stream with "sensitive social issues" and scaring away 90% of viewers.
If you have a twitch account you can go here and log in and click vote. They do listen. Please vote.
It was late... At least for me it was. I just got off work around 10pm for my shift at work...
My last shift, that is...
My job just dropped me without any warnings, without any write ups and no notice for me to prepare to have a new job lined up whatsoever. Just proving further to never show loyalty to a multi-billion dollar cooperation.
Body on auto-pilot mode, weaving through the crowds of people and monsters in the city and just cancelling out the noises around me, my mind couldn't help but wonder... Why? Why would they just drop me? I've worked for the company for 5 years. I've always arrived early, stayed extra if needed and if I was ever sick, I made sure to provide a doctor's note so I wouldn't have any unexcused absences on my record. So why—
…Wait. Hold up...
“Due to recent events, and information provided from our PR team that also works with social media, we are letting go a few workers within this company. This is nothing personal, but we need to make sure that the people that work for this company are people that best represents us, our values, and what we stand for, and we feel that this company isn’t for you.”
“…Information provided from our PR team that also works with social media…”
“…people that work for this company…”
“…best represent us, our values, and what we stand for…”
This could be a goddamn coincidence, but… Did those fuckers fired me because they found out I was an activist taking part in a protest for monster rights?!
That had to be it—it was rumored that the company and its CEO were against even the most basic rights Monsters well deserved. The last protest was a combo of fighting for Monsters to have the right to have Driver’s Licenses and legalization of Monster-Human marriage. The human police got involved and it became a huge thing all over the News and online. The PR team must have found out some of their workers were taking part in the protest and had to clean house. Ugh…
As I stopped walking for a moment, I saw the bright red neon sign of my usual hangout, Grillby’s. The owner, Grillby, was a fire monster and a good friend of mine. Though he was a monster of few words, his actions spoke for him. I worry one of these nights, he’ll get sick of me just venting to him and crying into my drinks. Honestly, tonight was very much needed for me to get shit faced and ugly cry…
Stepping through the door and with the ring of a bell, my being was engulfed in a welcoming warmth and cheerful atmosphere. The usual patrons in their usual seats as if this bar was their second home—and it really was. Grillby’s place was that nice of a business. Looks like Doggo is having a ruff night playing Blackjack with the others and is barking up a storm. That bunny monster is giggling her ears off and slumped over in her booth. The same chill music is still playing on that old jukebox. It was nice… This place was nice…
Taking my seat at the bar, Grillby already knew I had a lot on my mind and had some hot fries ready for me and told me he’d make my usual drink—which was a spiked spider cider. He and Muffet have been working with ideas on food and drink so they can both benefit and see what other folks like and where they can improve. It’s nice.
“And it’s such fucking bullshit that they’d just… just, uhh… fuck, what did I say? Fuck, right! My company just fucking fired me because they’re just ugly bigot fuckwads! Humans trapped Monsters underground for Gods know how long and now that y’all are back, they wanna act all superior and try to lord over Monsters and prevent y’all from having equal… uh… things!!! It’s bullshit!”
“…And it’s time to cut you off for tonight, Julia.”
“Noooo, Grillbyyyy, I’m not drunk. I only has 1 drink…”
“And that was my mistake. You can’t handle your alcohol—especially monster alcohol… Did you want to head back to my loft to relax for the night?”
“Nnn… Too many words… Grillby, lemme have another—my job sucks butt and I wanna drink til I can’t feel feelings anymore…”
“…heh, keep your gin up, kiddo. it’ll get better with time. after all, we ale make pour decisions.”
And that’s when I met him…
“A… A talking skeleton monster…?”
It was like he came out of nowhere, but… There he was, next to me. A rather short skeleton monster with… eyes lights as bright and beautiful as a galaxy and an outfit to match. Gosh, were those sparkly freckles on his zygomatic bones? Cute… And… He’s floating? Is he doing that with his magic? I mean, I shouldn’t assume gender, but with a voice so rich and deep like that, I…
“…Wait, was that a pun?”

Spent most of my life as a human and even looked the part! But it turns out my ancestors got BUSY with monsters! I'm not just a human, but a succubi, dracolich, and siren all in one! Life is... Interesting. 💧
