Please stop and listen to our painful story and help me save the family 🇵🇸🇵🇸
Help me get my father and mother out and secure their lives
The story of my father and mother who suffered from illness and lived under the wall of a tent
“The tent was their only shelter. Its winter wall was made of threadbare fabric that did not protect them from the cold or summer heat. Inside, they were lying on a thin mattress, two defeated bodies suffering from diabetes and high blood pressure. They woke up every day to the sound of chronic pain and dreams. That relaxes with every breath.
Dear mutuals and followers, sorry for the politics in your dashboard but in some homes today we cannot afford to "ignore the problems".
The country where I come from, Venezuela, has had an election for president that has resulted in fraud. Mr. Nicolás Maduro has proclaimed himself President although the votes have said the opposite. This regime has devastated the lives of its citizens, resorting to violence against those who opposed it. It has brought ruin to a nation once celebrated as a pioneer of Latin American independence, yet many choose to overlook its plight. Venezuela, a country that once extended support to immigrants and provided aid to others, is now dismissed as insignificant by many.
If you are an advocate who values the dignity and needs of individuals, we urge you to raise your voice alongside us. Don't ignore us because we are Latinos, this is also a war. It is a conflict against an individual who has controlled his armed forces, law enforcement, narcotics syndicates, and citizens, rendering any attempts at reform futile despite our vocal protests. I have family members who are unable to depart through legal means, and if they choose to leave unlawfully, they face harsh judgment from people of the outside.

(ASK) How can I help Venezuelans?
hi how do you put gifs in stamps? i cannot figure it out for some reason
I'll be happy to give you a hand! I've put most of this under the cut because I have two different methods of editing gif stamps, and I don't want to clog someone's dash LOL
I want to preface that I edit using a PC, so I'm not confident in giving advice/tips to anyone who is mobile-bound.
For the first method, and generally the easier one, I entirely use EZgif. It really is a lifesaver of a website... ^^
I start by cropping the gif I want to make a stamp of. Here’s the gif I’ll be using!Â
(Note: You can’t make stamps using gifv/webp files on EZgif, they will bug out. You can convert gifv files to gif by going to its URL and removing the “v,” and you can convert webp files to gif using this section of the website!)
[Photo ID: Gif of Shadow the Hedgehog.]
Sometimes you don't need to do this, but usually, I crop the gif to remove unnecessary background space and to put more focus on the character.
[Photo ID: Cropped gif to put more focus on Shadow and remove background space.]
Now, I resize the cropped gif. Set the width to “91″ and the height to “47.”Â
(Note: Sometimes after you size down the image, the gif gets corrupted. You can fix this by changing the resize method. I find Gifsicle works the best, though that isn't guaranteed.)
[Photo ID: Prior gif resized to 91 x 47.]
We’re almost done! All we have to do now is put the stamp border on through using the overlay section.
[Photo ID: Transparent downloadable stamp border.]
Here’s the stamp border I’ll be using!
Note: If you want to use a different border, you'll likely have to find its area on your own to properly resize the gif again.
Once you are on the overlay page with your resized gif, you want to click this button once.
[Photo ID: Screenshot of Canvas Size button. Picture reads “Extend canvas size (use if overlay exceeds gif size).”]
After you do that, you want to insert the stamp border with this button.
[Photo ID: Screenshot of Choose File button. Picture reads “Select overlay image or watermark (PNG/GIF/JPG): Choose File: No file chosen. Upload Image!”]
Now that the border is inserted, change left to “41″ and top to “19,″ then click "Generate image!"
Note: You'll also have to find the left and top on your own if you're using a different stamp border. This is important because if you don't have the correct numbers, your gif will have a random sliver of transparency in it.
[Photo ID: Gif stamp with a noticeable amount of unnecessary transparent space.]
You should have something like this, but we aren’t done yet though. Do you notice all the transparent space we don’t need that’s around the stamp? We need to crop that out using this easy button!
[Photo ID: Screenshot of Autocrop button. Picture reads “Autocrop: trim transparent pixels around the image.”]
After you click "Autocrop," click "Generate image," and then you’re done!
[Photo ID: Completed gif stamp.]
You're free to add whatever aesthetic changes you like using the "Effects" section, though I usually tend to lay off that since I see it as a hassle.
Now, for the second, and more tedious method, that I have been using recently!
Starting off, we are going to find and crop our gif using EZgif again, so just copy the first two steps from the last method.
[Photo ID: Gif of Shadow the Hedgehog.]
[Photo ID: Cropped gif to put more focus on Shadow and remove background space.]
Now that's done, we need to resize the gif to fit the same stamp border I used before! But instead of using the prior numbers, we're going to use new ones.
Resize your gif by using the width “101″ and the height “57.”Â
Note: If you're using a different border, you can easily find these numbers because they'll be the same as your border's, as long as it doesn't have any background space. If your border does, please crop it out.
[Photo ID: Prior gif resized to 101 x 57.]
Now, here's where things get different. We're going to use the website "Photopea," which is basically just online Photoshop.
Click "File" on the top left corner of the website and then click "Open," then insert the resized gif.
[Photo ID: Photopea editing software with stamp opened.]
You should now have something like this! It's important to keep in mind that all of those layers are the frames of your gif.
Now, insert the stamp below, which is just the same border from earlier except with the stamp part colored in, onto the gif by clicking "File," and then clicking "Open & Place."
[Photo ID: Filled in downloadable stamp border, edges are still transparent.]
It will automatically paste onto a new layer at the top of the folder layer list. You need to move it down so that it's on the bottom of the folder, not the layer list. You can do this by simply dragging and dropping.
[Photo ID: Two images. One shows the filled-in stamp on top of the folder layer list. The other shows the filled-in stamp on the bottom of the folder.]
Here's the tedious part. You now need to set ALL of the gif's frames to "Clipping group," not including the filled-in stamp. This can conveniently be done by clicking each frame while holding down "Ctrl" and "Alt" on your keyboard. This process can either last a few seconds or up to a full minute depending on how many frames the gif has. Sorry...
[Photo ID: Example of the gif's frames all set to "clipping group." You can tell this has been done successfully because the frames have a small arrow pointing downward on the left side of the layer preview image.]
Don't forget to double-check in case you missed any frames! You should now have something like this at the center of your screen.
[Photo ID: Screenshot of the gif at the center of the screen, now looking stamp-shaped.]
We're not done yet! We still need to add a light stamp border and a dark stamp outline. We can do this by pasting the images below.
[Photo ID: Two photos. One is a transparent downloadable outline of a stamp. The other is a transparent downloader border of a stamp.]
Paste the light one first, and then the dark one last on top of the folder's layer list.
[Photo ID: Previous screenshot after the templates have been pasted.]
Click on "File," and then click "Save," and now you're done!
[Photo ID: Completed gif stamp made in Photopea.]
This part is optional, but if you want, you can mess around with the layers and add some aesthetical changes! Here's an example of the previous stamp after I edited it like I normally do!

That's all for now! If you have any questions or need more help, don't be afraid to ask! :D

I recently saw tweets about this website called Hamas .com.
It is a site made by Israel to steal your information.
Its just another way that Israel will harm Palestinians by making a fake website to confuse advocates

You should be furious that people trying to escape genocide in Gaza, Sudan, Congo all need raise an absurd amount of money just to survive
You should be furious at how these people went through atrocity after atrocity and still need raise tens of thousands of dollars to get away
You should be furious at this insidious thing that completely encapsulates how capitalism feeds off of blood
Update: Gazans Remain Steadfast
Even through all this destruction, the people of Gaza remain steadfast in their determination to stay in their homeland. They'll rebuild and rebuild a thousand times over no matter what the occupational army does to it.
Mahmoud Abusalama wants to make sure everyone outside of Gaza understands how steadfast the people are. Remember, even if all this happens, this is our homeland and Palestinians will not have their spirits broken! The colonial entity of 'Israel' will never take that away!
If you'd like to support the people of Gaza directly, you can donate to HelpGazaChildren through the link below.

this year while we all celebrate pride month and celebrate ourselves as well as those who came before us and paved the way for us to do so, we must also think of those in gaza, queer or not, who live every day under a brutal occupation and don’t have that same privilege. happy pride, and may we see a free palestine in this lifetime.

One of my favorite retro Wings of Fire drawings to date. I’m especially happy with Moon’s design and pose. I can’t quite remember where the background came from—I want to say it was the Don Bluth Dragon’s Lair pitch, though it’s probably been edited a bit.
[ID: Digital art of Winter and Moon from Wings of Fire in a cartoony style with retro effects. Winter is a slender, pale blue dragon with a sharp spiky head, long horns and white spikes running from his head down the neck, drawn to look like hair. He’s wearing a silver headband/crown with a deep blue gem in the centre and a matching necklace. He has azure eyes and looks angrily at Moon, who sits in front of him. She’s a chubby, dark greenish dragon with a black heart-shaped nose, silver crescent and moon markings on her forehead and big, round, forest green eyes. She’s looking anxiously into the distance while fidgeting her talons nervously, part of her twisting tail visible beside her. The edited background shows castle walls with huge uneven torch holders done in cold colors. The whole piece has a noise effect and chromatic aberration applied to it. End ID]
Thanks @firnmist for reminding me to include image ID!
My Palestine charity postcards are available again!
For about a week, you can order the charity postcard here, and all proceeds from it will be donated to HelpGazaChildren. There are two payment options, for those who feel generous.
You can also take the initiative to donate on your own. Some charities you can donate to are Palestine Children’s Relief Fund, Care for Gaza and eSims for Gaza. There is also Gaza Funds, which shows a random fundraiser every time the page is reloaded.

I can't stop thinking about the moment Clay found out he was a Bigwings. He spent his whole life thinking there was some sort of monster inside him, that one day he would snap and hurt even those closest to him, but it was never true. Pure love has been in his bones since the moment he hatched, only now can he believe it
More older wings of farts
