current mantra

Exactly.

Recently had to talk to someone who had perfection paralysis (or, in the words of Adam Savage, hamstrung by possibilities).

I've been doing artistic work for myself and others for nearly two decades now so here's my advice.

It'll never be perfect. And even if it *is*, you will come to nitpick and dislike things about it in time. You have to learn to sit with that discomfort, know that everything is flawed, and that artistic growth is an infinite path. So do the thing.

Help me reach my goal please🙏🙏

restricting palestinian accounts is horrifying. you can't find their blogs unless you go directly to their url because tumblr search won't even show it. their posts will be hidden in tags. you won't be able to see their interactions in your notes (including asks, likes, reblogs). they won't be able to message people altogether. it's so incredibly insidious to palestinians on this site who heavily rely on asks and dm's to spread their fundraisers and contact people.

if you haven't seen a palestinian that you follow on your dash check to see if they've been restricted or terminated.

please support @ahmed8311 and @amjadshiltawu. both of their accounts have been shadowbanned and they both need massive support to reach their goals.

both their fundraisers are on el-shab-hussein and nabulsi's vetted fundraiser spreadsheet (number #161 for ahmed and number 250 for amjad)

ahmed's GFM is currently at €14,999 of its €100,000 goal

amjad's GFM is currently at €8,051 of its €97,000 goal

if you have the ability to, please spotlight these fundraisers on your blog or other social media accounts you may have

Since Israel has been issuing these evacuation orders practically every day since the start of July, people probably began to think these were all one and the same considering how consecutive they have been, but understand this:

Close to two million Palestinians are being squeezed into a corner of the land that is now barely 10% of its original size. These same areas tend to also be where Israeli airstrikes are conducted. If these people survive the airstrikes, will they survive the ever dwindling supply of food, water, medicine or adequate shelter?

It's ethnic cleansing in plain sight.

🚨🚨🚨🚨

Where should we go?

My wife, child, and I desperately need your donations and support in order to survive this war of extermination

Help Khalid Sisters in Gaza not to be Homeless

Hello Dear,

We, (Najwa, Jana, Farah, and Maryam), are the sisters of Shaheed Khalid Saed Ash-Shawwah, who was martyred on 07/31/24 along with Al Jazeera correspondent Ismail Al-Ghoul and his colleague, photographer Rami Al-Rifi . Khalid was our older and only brother and he was a great support for us and others. As you may heard Khalid’s story in the news, he was bombed while he was riding his bicycle coming back from delivering food to our old and injured neighbors.

Before the IDF forces killed our brother Khalid, they forced us to evacuate our house and left everything behind. They then destroyed our house and our father’s restaurant. We had to move at least 10 times since every new area we seek refuge to gets bombed.

Currently, the 4 of us and our parents, are living devastating and sad life in a bombed room in Gaza. It is extremely difficult for us to get the basic needs of food, water, and shelter.

We sincerely hope you can empathize with our dire situation and consider supporting us. We are raising funds in order to be able to pay the rising cost of basic necessities in north Gaza. Our family is large and the cost of survival in north Gaza is astronomical. If you have anything you can spare, we implore you to support us. From where you are right now, you personally can help save our lives in north Gaza.

Please donate and/or replog 🥺🙏🇵🇸

Please reblog our post, follow us @khalid-Sisters and boost our posts, and repost the link to our campaign across all your social media.

Your generosity has the power to make a significant difference, and will give us hope that there will a better future waiting for us once the war stops.

We ask God to bless you and your families and to protect you all from all calamities and to never make you feel or go through what we are going through.

PSA: BAD LITTERBOX

i don't usually make posts like this, but this is a truly upsetting topic to me as a lifelong cat owner, so i feel i have a duty to share my knowledge with others.

there is a type of automatic litterbox for cats being sold that is EXTREMELY dangerous and has killed numerous cats through blunt force trauma, suffocation, etc. this litterbox is being sold under different brand names and logos, so i will include the picture of the model and two links to informational videos with more evidence and eloquence than i am able to provide.

please consider not having this type of litterbox in your home for your furry friends. me and my 16 year old tortie, puddy, want the best for all your kitty friends

image of litterbox below:

here are my two video links that provide proof and testimonials of this harmful product:

This Scam is Killing Cats by penguinz0

The DEADLY self-cleaning litter boxes that have flooded the market by One Man Five Cats

Adding a content warning for that second video (I did not watch the first): the creator uses a plush cat toy to demonstrate what happens to a cat if they get caught in this thing. Even though it's a toy, I found it very upsetting. Not so much that I don't think you should watch - this is VERY important to understand - just be prepared for it. It's not okay. This thing is dangerous.

Finally got around to replaying to the moon + finding paradise last month. I (still) love Eva with all my heart.

god. its really frustrating the way internet virality works. everyone who sees success can only do so at the expense of others.

both shahed and shaima+mohammed (wafaa's siblings) were the initial targets of the recent wave of scam allegations, yet only shahed's gofundme was spread and received support as a result. maybe this is because and shaima and mohammed are slightly older, more traditional people who can't work the internet as well, maybe because they were less willing to share the intimate details of their pain online. maybe it's plain luck. either way its pretty shitty that only one person received the proper support after all that abuse, and that everyone else is being ignored.

since shahed reached her goal i want to redirect all of our righteous anger and empathy toward some of the other palestinians who were primarily targeted by this hate campaign. many of the campaigns on this list are stagnating in the amount of donations they recieve, despite the amount of attention they've received lately. of course, everyone here is vetted by either 90-ghost or el-shab-hussein:

shaima and mohammed @wafans-blog, who was accused of being a scam for having the same organizer as shahed, even though that is very common with gofundmes. [verification]

mahmoud balousha @helpfamily, who was targeted by one of the biggest blogs on this website and likened to a porn account. [verification]

amira alanqar @amira-world , who was targeted by some arrogant bitch who thought they knew better than actual palestinians how to vet a fundraiser and who also claimed that there was no point in donating to palestinians because evacuations are uncommon. [verification]

basel ayyad @basel-1995, whose posting habits were scrutinized to an inhuman degree as an excuse to dehumanize him. [verification] (he has been vetted twice!)

basel's cousin fadi ayyad. [verification]

heba al anqar @heba-baker, who was accused of being part of a belgian botnet because of her surname. [verification]

ahmed and abdulrahman al-nabih @ahmedalnabeeh11, who were accused of scamming for having relatives with chronic illnesses during a genocide. [verification]

and of course:

omar saad, ahmed @/90-ghost's brother, who is still in khan yunis with his family. ahmed, our sole vetter for a while, has gone through immeasurable abuse in the past week and we all owe it to him as people who have benefited from his labor to take one burden off his shoulders. [verification]

Hello everyone

I’m Malk I’m 14 years old but I am feeling that am 70 years😔

My parents took great care of us, giving us everything they had, and my childhood was wonderful to some extent.

I lived through four wars, the latest being in 2021, during which we lost everything: our warm home and my mom's office where she worked in digital marketing.

My dad is one of the owners of the Jewel Tower, but my family decided to leave Gaza for Turkey in 2022 because the tower hadn't been built yet, and to provide a better life for us.

My dad couldn't leave Gaza, so he returned before the war because my grandfather was sick and needed care. I wish I were with my dad because I fear losing him.

The past few months have been the hardest for us and our family.

I hope you can help me by sharing the link and donating so I can get my family from Gaza🙏🏻🙏🏻

My account has been verified by Nabulsi and el shab Hussein, and it is listed as number 129 in the sheet.

want to make it visible that despite how many notes this has, the campaign has not even hit the halfway mark:

Life in Gaza has become much more difficult than some might imagine.

This small area, which covers less than 360 km², is now divided by barriers that severely restrict our movement.

We live as if we are imprisoned, deprived of the most basic rights, and each day brings more severe and painful challenges.

Your support can make a difference—whether by spreading awareness or contributing financially. Every effort counts in helping us through these trying times.
