It's Aro-Spec Awareness Week Again My Friends, And That Means It's Time For More Silly Little Critters!

A minamalistic digital drawing of a green spotted bush snake. The snake is shown from the side, and has the front half of its body raised up, with the back half curling behind and its tailing curling up the flagpole of the aromantic flag (dark green, light green, white, grey, black stripes) which flies to the left from behind the snake's head. The snake itself is green, with black stripes and spots, and a white and grey underbelly; the white also extends to the underside of its mouth. It had a round, circular black pupil in a white eye, and it is poking out it forked tongue, which is a light green save for the tip, which is black. The snake is wearing a black bowler hat on its head, which has a light green ribbon growing around it. Altogether the snake makes up the colours of the aromantic flag. The background is a pale green.

A minamalistic digital drawing of a messenger/common pigeon. The pigeon is shown from side on, and has a grey head and body, with green feathers banding around its neck. It has a lighter grey wing with black, arching, stripes and markings, the wing ending with green feathers, dark grey transitioning to black tail feathers, and light green feet with black claws. It has a round, circular black pupil in a white eye. It has a light green bowtie on its neck, and it is holding the aromantic flag (dark green, light green, white, grey, black stripes) in its mouth, with a part of the green fabric in its black and grey beak, and the rest flying behind it to the right. Altogether the pigeon makes up the colours of the aromantic flag. The background is a pale green.

It's Aro-Spec Awareness Week again my friends, and that means it's time for more silly little critters! (You can find last year's here.) ✨Keep up the amazing work, fellow aros✨

I'm Anas Basil, a recent high school graduate with dreams of pursuing a degree in e-business management and building a career. However, due to my family's financial hardships, I enrolled at Khan Younis Training College (KYTC), affiliated with UNRWA. Sadly, the war has turned the college, once a beacon of hope and education, into a shelter for displaced families, stripping it of its educational purpose.

I completed high school with a 93% average, filled with excitement about continuing my education and securing a job to support my family. But like so many others, the war has shattered those dreams.

🚨 !! DONT SKIP !! Donations Urgently Needed 🚨

My younger brother, Ahmad, is 14 years old and currently in the third grade of preparatory school. We’ve always called him "Doctor of the Future" because of his intelligence and natural talent in mathematics. Unfortunately, due to the ongoing war, he has been deprived of schooling for the second consecutive year. In addition to his academic abilities, Ahmad has a passion for football and used to win tournaments.

Our Life in Displacement: The war forced our family to flee to Rafah, where we lived in a tent for several months. Each day, my brother and I would wake up to fetch water, gather wood, and light a fire to prepare food. Survival became our daily task, but we never gave up hope. The conflict affected us deeply, but it did not extinguish our dreams of education and a better future.

🚀 How Your Donation will Help us:

We are seeking €29,000 to help Ahmed and me leave Gaza, continue our education. More importantly, it will allow us to support our family, who have been deeply affected by the harsh conditions and skyrocketing costs of living due to the ongoing war in Gaza.

We've outlined how your donations will make this possible. You can find all the details in the campaign link below.

👉 Donation link: 🔗https://gofund.me/32e5e95e

Your contribution will not only help us escape the war-torn reality we live in but also give us the opportunity to rebuild our futures.

Every donation, no matter the amount, brings us one step closer to our goal.

With deepest gratitude, Anas & Ahmed

Living on a planet where any government is allowed to go through with military action that they know will result in the death of civilians should be gut-wrenchingly painful for all of us. Over 10,000 children have died in Palestine since October 7th, and there is not a single child in Gaza who is not suffering. CHILDREN. INFANTS. I can't stop thinking about all the innocent children we are losing and leaving to suffer every day.

Please use whatever privilege you have to do whatever you can during the Global Strike for Palestine (January 21st - 28th). Contact your representatives. Call for an immediate ceasefire. Boycott, stimulate the economy as minimally as possible, participate in pro-Palestinian protests, educate yourself, and most importantly, amplify the voices of Palestinians.
