Till sabe como se ve ser amado pero no sabe como se siente
!! Inspired by this youtube comment I read time ago:
tfw you visibly base your entire identity around One Specific Character Or Thing so that whenever it gets brought up (or left out) of a conversation you look like this pointing it out
Acespec guy writing a ship: it's not romantic or sexual but bonded in a way that cannot and will not be labelled
A piece about survivors guilt.
This comic isn't perfect. I started it back in October 2023, and every time I picked up my pen, I wept.
I bring this to you today, on 9/11, in hopes that you reflect on this day a little differently than how most Americans would. Let it move you to continue to boycott, protest and challenge your family, friends and colleagues. You have a bigger impact than you would believe.
Thank you for reading this with an open heart.
From the river to the sea...
I'd like to bring to attention the fact that the figures depicted above are a gross undercount of the actual number of deaths. I scoured the internet high and low to source my findings and not a single one could break down the devastation that befell an individual ethnicity. Instead, they lumped a bunch of ethnicities together, provided a general timeline, and called it a day, reinforcing the sheer scale of dehumanization propagated in the west. The only consistency between all the articles I looked up was the 4.5 to 4.7 million figure I've included above, and even then, they were all published by western media news outlets... the very same that have been so unreliable and complicit in the genocide of Palestinians today. So I have to take everything they say with a grain of salt.
We are not just numbers.
All of us have ambitions and desires and lives worth living.
With that said, this is your friendly reminder to:
Donate an e-sim
Donate to PCRF to provide Palestinian children aid
Donate to Pious Projects to provide woman with feminine hygiene kits
Donate to CareForGaza to provide food to displaced families in Gaza either through their Gofundme or their paypal
Donate to any of the vetted gofundme campaigns on GazaFunds to help Palestinians trying to flee Gaza.
And if you or someone you know sees or experiences a hate crime and can afford it, SUE. This is a more effective use of your money than most realise. The reason zionists act with impunity is because of the normalization of white supremacy and oppression of ethnic minorities. Challenging that in any capacity tells them that there are consequences to their actions and makes them think twice before engaging in hate crimes and helps raise all of us up against the systems currently in place that let them get away with it.
If you can't donate or spend any money, you can:
Do your daily clicks.
Boycott targeted companies on the BDS list (if you're like me and you don't want a single dollar to go towards anything supporting Israel right now, you can use Bdnaash to double check what products are okay to buy, but the BDS list is sufficient as it is a strategic attack and proven very effective thus far)
Flood your representatives emails and voicemails with how you won't be voting for them unless their politics align with an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.
Attend a protest, be LOUD.
Challenge your circle of friends, family and colleagues with conversations about Palestine. (THIS IS THE MOST UNDERRATED AND MOST EFFECTIVE THING YOU CAN DO)
and if you're really up to, be disruptive in any capacity that you can think of towards major corporations benefiting from this onslaught. (i.e. halting military manufacturers from production + shipments, sticking boycott stickers on products at your market etc)
And finally, if your country wasn't mentioned in the above excerpt, it was no deliberate omission on my part and I encourage you to come forward and tell your story about the suffering of your people so that this may be a learning opportunity for everyone.
You are seen.
You are not alone.
Thank you again if you've read this far.

Hi! It's kinda shameful to go this route , but being diabetic person .Now over 6 months my unemployment still pending This has been the worst couple of years of my life. Our house was destroyed in a storm. Then I am desperately in need for help. I need my insulin to bring my blood sugar back down. It’s $300 That’s all I need. I’m not asking for a windfall, just a little help, please.
DONATE AND SHARE IF YOU'RE ABLE 🙏
this is my favorite A' song and I was surprised to see it not been translated yet (as far as I know). A' does actually say "pi/pinch" 102 times in this song. this is not proofread at all. as always, tl under the cut!
Pi-Pi-Pi-Pinch out
Pi-Pi-Pi-Pinch out
Pi-Pi-Pi-Pinch out
Focus your eyes and look closely
How about those who can manipulate their words
They show you dreams, then snatch them away?
Going with the flow of the waves, I’m uneasy
Embracing the night, I’m obstructed
At the park where I held the deceased cicada (Hey)
He reached out to me (What do you want?)
If you keep this up you’ll end up eaten (Oh really)
He struck me
Let’s run away right now
Let’s throw it away right now
Let’s break it right now
Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pinch
“Don’t overdo it”
Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pinch
“Bless yourself”
Amidst a sandstorm that I can’t seem to escape
As expected, the warmth, I’m realizing it’s all suspicious
On this planet, anyone and everyone is looking down
Neutralizing their mind, and usurping power
Where is that faint light that I saw
Should we get rid of all means of communication and go for a ride?
Feeling isolated after showing off my scars (Jeez)
I’m drowning out in the ocean (Splash)
Curled up in the corner of the trailer (Boohoo)
My eyes are opening
Miracle, cram it all
Miracle, fake it all
Miracle, good morning
Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pinch
Lead astray in life
Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pinch
Be courageous
Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi Mark the date
Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi Mark the date
Don’t try to understand everything and everything
Even the lies of an unconfident adult
The only one that can go through with this song behind closed doors
Etan is the only victor
Realize, the future
Realize, relight
Realize, even now
Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pinch
Trust in each other
Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pinch
We can go anywhere
I love this image it describes perfectly how I felt when I became a yumejin
i love how we all collectively agree that allen is the resident boyfailure of bae and paradox live. he never had a chance with members like hajun and anne who slay extra hard by just existing. at least he writes good songs
