award-winning palestinian children's illustrator baraa awoor writes:
"what use is it to be an illustrator of children's books when the world has sentenced the children of your country to the death penalty, to vanish, to genocide?"
some of baraa's illustrations:
this is an illustration for youssef, whose mother is remembered running desperately into the hospital asking if anyone had seen a "small white boy with beautiful curly hair, his name is youssef," a description which was remembered by millions when she finally identified his body:
this illustration is for young omar, who was hugging his little brother and teaching him how to repeat the shahada after him (a prayer spoken by muslims before their death) as he lay on his hospital bed:
"we want a new year that doesn't kill us or our children, we want it a year without blood, without screaming, without pain, we want a new attempt to get our lives back, or something that resembled our life, even if life is a lie we still cling to it, return life to us—a new year's card unlike any other year:"
Our goal ➡️ to reach $2000 after already collecting $960. 🕐⏳
I'm Amal, a mother of three children, living under the weight of the genocide taking place in Gaza. 🍉
The Israeli occupation forces launched drone strikes on my husband, Fayez, and my son, Mohammad.
my husband was hit in the head, while my son Mohammad was wounded in his legs.
Although my husband's condition has stabilized, my son is still suffering immensely and urgently needs medical treatment outside Gaza.
So I started a fundraising campaign to save my son before he dies.
I lost most of my family. I'm afraid to lose my son too 🥺 .
I need your help please donate and share, evry contribution, no matter how small, brings us hope in these dark times.
Mohammed deserves to live a happy and healthy life, just like every other child on this earth.
So I humbly ask you to donate even a little or at least reblog this appeal.

Btw, If y’all want good examples of PG-rated horror or movies/shows that incorporate horror elements, Coraline, Paranorman, Gravity Falls, Owl House, anything by Tim Burton. Something that incorporates elements from horror without making it too scary or unwatchable while also making it charming
I rlly wish ppl would write more G3 horror / grimdarks. I mean, obviously not to the extent that G4 had. like, not enough to be unavoidable to mainstream G3 fans, but enough to have its own little community.
Redwall art envisioned as an 80's animated film look. (Milt Kahl / Don Bluth) --- I know nothing abt Redwall. I havent read the books and know very VERY little of its lore. Years ago I remember seeing a tv series but never finished it.
Here’s one reason why I don’t hate on any my little pony generation:
because every My Little Pony is someone’s childhood my little pony.
when I was a kid, Twinkle Wish Adventure is a movie I would watch on repeat for days. It was special to my soul. other people may see no value in this movie— completely fine! but back in the 2010’s, the brony hate for G3– ESPECIALLY G3.5– was horrific. I couldn’t talk positively about the My Little Pony I loved anymore without people yelling about how bad they think it is.
My nextdoor neighbor has four kids. they all love My Little Pony, too, and some of them are especially enamored with G5. Now, I am known to have my critiques with the new generation, much like many other longtime pony fans, and that’s fine! But this is THEIR My Little Pony, and it is every bit as special to them as ours was to us when we were children. Every My Little Pony is someone’s personal My Little Pony. Every My Little Pony deserves to be loved aloud.

I appeal to you from the bottom of my heart to support my family during this harsh ordeal amidst the war in Gaza. The situation here is extremely tragic; we are suffering from severe food shortages, life-threatening malnutrition, contaminated water that is unsafe to drink, and a frightening spread of diseases.
The head of the family has been injured in the war and has become disabled, needing an urgent operation abroad.
