I've Gotten A Bunch Of Messages In My Ask Box From Palestinians Who Need Help. I Can't Do Much To Help

[image description 1/3: Karako is sad. he says, "why do I have to speak? why is it not enough to show up somewhere and have giant eyes?"

ID 2: Charun, crosses their arms disapprovingly and says, "minimalism is cool but have you ever had all the things you love in your room?"

ID 3: Cirava is clutching their eye in pain, and Elwurd says to them, "hey. don't cry. 144 Ibuprofen capsules in this bottle." Cirava smiles. / end IDs]

I've had this set in my drafts for a while now. I haven't been able to make anything else for today because depression is a bitch, so here's this! happy homestuck day, folks.

She’s preparing them for the journey ahead!

I totally half-assed this post, so of course tumblr itself congratulations me on it being my 100th post lmao. I had always thought I'd make big deal out of this milestone, but uh. here we are with framed clown boobs! that's probably more on brand anyway.

they even said wowzer

I'm almost running out of gay shit to post!

elwurd: *bites Lip*

mallek: ...have you considered biting your bottom lip instead?

*the boys are back in town starts playing* This was so much fun to make.

WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING TO ME?!?!?

He's not gonna take all my meds! He probably won't even moisturize properly! This a very fragile vessel my soul resides in, I don't trust him to take care of it! 😡

On the other hand, now I have his powers, I wonder if I could simply... control him while he's me?

Regardless, I'd still look like boomer caillou. Divine powers aren't everything. It's an ew out of ten.

You suddenly switch bodies with your icon. On a scale of 1 to 10, (10 being the highest value) how well are you coping with that change?

Advice from your local worm eater!

I made these edits years ago and I still don't know why.

This is a really good source of charities and things like that. If y'all can't do anything else, do the daily clicks! It donates for you with ad revenue and you can more read about how that works on their site (at Arab.org, as seen above)!

(longer masterpost of all ways you can help)

updated 3/6/2024 with Gaza Wound Care & We Feed Gaza. I wanted to focus on Palestinian-run grassroots initiatives that will actually reach Gazans on the ground, so all of these except eSIMs, PCRF, MAP are by Palestinians. i have verified them but please feel free to do your own vets for your peace of mind.

Remember small donations really do add up. Any amount counts, even $1!
