Palestine Campaigns With Under A Thousand Donations

they’re dating your honor.

Hey ya'll.

So, this week in an attempt to work on my character design chops, I decided to draw myself an alien emperor design, attempting to turn the stereotypical alien look into something cool.

If it isn't obvious by the outfit, the design is very much inspired by classic 50's and 60's sci-fi, the hologram cape was added cause I thought it was cool.

Anyways, hope you enjoy the design, feel free to give feedback, critiques and all that. I'll try to get these out semi regularly.

But for now, have a nice day.

A message to Twitter users coming to tumblr: a message from your local duel-hellsite citizen

So, I’ve seen a ton of Twitter users talking about making and sharing their new tumblr blogs, to escape Elon Musk’s “anti censorship” bullshittery. First of all: welcome! I know it’s looking bleak over there; especially for trans people. But, now that you’re here, I’m here to tell you all about tumblr etiquette, how this website works, and how it’s different from Twitter. Because you can’t come onto here acting like it’s Twitter, lest The Beast get to you.

First, here are a small handful of tips and tumblr facts!

Your likes and who you are following are automatically set to public. You can make them private in your settings!

You can block tags from the settings, too.

There are lots of bots on here. If you’re not careful, you could be mistaken for one! The main way you can avoid this is changing your icon and header from the defaults. Adding a bio helps too!

You can queue and schedule posts so that your account posts throughout the day.

Like Twitter, tumblr has a radical feminist and TERF problem. However, they’re pretty easy to spot. There are lots of guides out there to help you learn how to spot tumblr TERFs!

Tumblr, for the most part, does not have any celebrity or brand accounts.

Your tumblr follower count is private.

You can have multiple accounts with the same email, and they’re very easy to switch between! These are called “sideblogs”.

Your main page is not a “timeline”. It is a “dashboard”!

You can have a custom desktop theme using HTML! Think like ye olde MySpace days. There are tons of pre-made tumblr themes available, if you’re not already proficient in HTML; including free ones!

Now, let’s talk tumblr etiquette and how it’s different from Twitter. You’re a tumblr user now! It’s time to start acting like it!

Don’t just like posts. They don’t increase visibility whatsoever. The way that you can help posts that you like is reblogging them to your blog. Especially for art!

We don’t say “oomfs” or “oomfies”. Just “mutuals” is fine, thanks!

Adding onto a post with pointless comments is frowned upon. If all you have to say it “this is so true,” or something else to that effect, you should put that in the tags of your reblog.

Most people don’t have carrds or rentries on here. Some of us do, but it’s not an obligation like it is for Twitter.

Similarly, we don’t censor words like “die” and “death”. Posts about wanting to brutally murder people in power go viral all the time, and it’s completely allowed. I’m serious! Enjoy your newfound freedom!

Blocking isn’t a big deal here. Get rid of any weird notion you have that morality is linked to blocking certain people.

But lastly, and most importantly:

Drop your discourse at the door.

If you try to post about most of the things that Twitter users discourse about, you will be laughed off the site. Especially Twitter LGBT+ discourse. Posts actively mocking topics of Twitter discourse go viral on here regularly.

Tumblr has mostly healed since its discourse-ridden days, and it’s now much more chill. Of course, discourse still happens, but it is so easy to avoid now. For a lot of us, tumblr is the last pleasant social media site left, so don’t ruin it.

Here is a list of discourse-related things that tumblr users don’t do:

Most of us don’t do callout posts, unless it’s something actually serious (like that one blog that had a human slave).

Everything that you heard on Twitter was “exclusive” to certain LGBT+ groups is used by just about everyone on here. Bi women use the double venus symbol on here. You’ll just have to learn to live with that.

In particular, I want to emphasize how much we don’t do flag discourse. To the point that somebody caring about flag discourse of any kind is how we tend to identify an ex-Twitter user.

On here, you will never have to see another slur discourse post again, unless you actively seek it out.

You’re free.

You’re welcome. And enjoy your time on here!

So cause I don’t have much else to talk about here. How about I talk about some DND  characters i’ve played (And that I have art of)

My first dnd character was a 3rd-level Tiefling/Draconic bloodline sorcerer named Valentine. I don’t remember much about the character, I think his backstory was something about him being a president going out in the world after unlocking magical powers? But the most vivid memory I have of him is that I forgot to take actual leveled spells with them. So for a session or two, I was stuck casting firebolt for the whole session, and somehow I got the kill the kill on the boss fight. Needless to say the next session was way better! The campaign they were apart of didn’t last long but hey, I suppose if it weren't for this pride flag colored Tiefling I might not have gotten into DND.  My 2nd DND character shown here was a 9th-level Human, Way of the Kensai Monk/Ranger named: Master Wu-Tang (Yes, he was named after the Wu-Tang clan) who left his family to join an assassins guild of monks, now retired, he joined a ghost hunting organization called “The Crows” in order to do something with the remainder of his life (For reference he was around 70). He was made because the DM wanted to have the party sort of split between ghost players and crow player characters. Having the ghosts be the spellcasters and the crows be the martial characters (Something like this. Keep in mind this was 2 years ago) I also recall wanting to make a DND version of Master Roshi (Without the perverted “Gags) and with that. Wu-Tang was born. Despite some issues the campaign would end up running into (Such as two sort of problem players that I will not name here) Wu-Tang ended up being my longest lasting character. Lasting countless sessions and going from level 3 to level 9. 

The next character I made was for a Feywild campaign. A 5th level aasimar (Pre Monsters of the multiverse) Undead Warlock/Divine soul Sorccerer multiclass named Falus Lucifier. The basic premise of him was that he was born into a highly religious village that considered him to be a god. He visited a strange figure to try and find a way out, only to be murked by a band of Paladins. Though said strange figure would keep their end of the bargin (Sort of) reviving Falus by possessing his body. I basically ended up kinda playing Gabriel from Mandela catalogue as a DND character. Combat wise Falsus was pretty potent as he would cast bless on the parties martials (And himself) and use his form of dread before blasting away with eldritch blast. I designed him to be a blaster/support hybrid and my god I think it worked out, RP wise I unfortunately dropped the ball due to my less than stellar rping as the character and some odd decisions on my end. Maybe I should revisit the character concept sometime. 

The fourth character here is a character I played for a very short-lived Curse of Strahd campaign, a 3rd level Tortle/Path of the Aberrant (Homebrew subclass) called: Captian Goru Zur Ganqwuc. Who on a sailing trip to barovia would fall into the depths, sinking deeper and deeper before waking up with strange tendrils on his shell and gaining new powers. They were basically a grouchy old guy that had this quirk of calling people peck-neck, just to he could cuss someone out without anyone but him knowing what he meant. (Yes I took the line from a A Hat in Time cause I thought it was funny) he was pretty fun to rp as cause I got to do this gravely irish accent with the character. It’s a damn shame the campaign lasted one and a half sessions before being swapped for a Strixhaven campaign.

As a fun fact about Goru, he is the first character i’ve played that was a homebrew subclass. I’ve had characters made before that were homebrew (Such as Wu-Tangs back up character) but neither of those were actually used. And even if the aberrant barbarian was super janky and unbalanced. It was cool to actually play a subclass that I made. Maybe next time funny turtle man.

The last character here is my third most recent character. The 6th level human Chronurgist Wizard/Artificer named Dimitri Leviticus. They were made for a superhero campaign where, I originally wanted to be a homebrew gravity paladin, but the dm vetoed it cause it was too much. Which you know what, that’s on me, so trying to fill the party roll as both the spellcaster and the ranged blaster. I made Dimitri. Dimitri’s career started within as a toy maker, coming from a toy making family (Who were actually pieces of shit but they didn’t know that) Eventually their shop would’ve been blown up and, while in an apartment, with some guidance from a voice in his head they would make a device that allowed him to warp time. So they joined the new dawn academy in order to become a hero, both to bring smiles to the world in a way their toys can’t, and to possibly find out what happened the night their shop was bombed. Dimitri’s probably some of the most fun i’ve had with a caster (Much less a character) In a while, I reflavoured a bunch of their spells to fit the toy/steampunk theming of the character. Such as the web spell being flavored as a web of monkeys in a barrel, find familiar was flavored as a clockwork animal With a prominent wind-up mechanism in their back, and their version of chromatic orb was them throwing powered dodgeballs. Sure they were also mechanically strong and were kind of overpowered. But they were still super fun to play, if even just cause you get to look at any roll your DM made and say. ‘You know that’s a very nice roll...How about we reroll that”  The campaign was a bit of a mess and i’m 99% sure it’s done for. But hey, at least I came away from it with some good memories. 

That’s all of the DND characters i have drawn up atm. I might talk about some other characters i’ve played in another post. But for now if you’ve read this far, thank you. Go out and play some DND or something. 

palestinians refuse to lose hope, and you need to do the same. it is very difficult to not spiral into despair when it feels like all you can do is watch this unfold on social media but you can't let that happen. you cannot let yourself become numb and exhausted and indifferent. stay furious and stay devastated. hold onto your grief and let it give you the power to keep pushing. to keep protesting, boycotting, calling your state representatives and congress members if you live in the us - you have to stay emotional. israel and the us want to bully you into numbness and despair because that's the key to getting away with this. either get your citizens to accept your propaganda as gospel truth or make them give up the fight.

apathy and doom-spirals only aid in israel and the us's genocide of palestine. you have to keep hoping and you have to keep believing that yes if you try hard enough you can contribute to making a difference. don't look away, and don't give up either, okay? 🇵🇸💗

URGENT HELP🚨🚨🚨🍉🇵🇸

Hello,

How do you do ? I hop to be in a good condition.

This is my special campaign

We hope to help us by donating or sharing to others.

Every donation makes a different even if it a small.

As you know, the war began on October 7 and lasted ten months. During this period, we were unable to obtain food, drink, or treatment because we did not have money.

There is no source of income for the family at the present time, so we are unable to buy food, clean water, and medicine, especially after we are afflicted with the ongoing infectious diseases spread in the north like Hepatitis C disease.

Our house has been damaged a lot since the beginning of the war. We are from the north of Gaza and we are still in the north and have not displaced to the south. We displaced 10 times from place to another seeking to safety .

We hope for your help and support, even if only a little.🙏🙏

Vetted by Femme intifada on telegram.

Also, vetted by gazavetters on tumbler and my number is #60

My campaign was recently vetted by butterfly effect group on Instagram and my number is #964

Thank you all

Please Donate if you can!!

How you can take action to stop Israel’s genocide

I am so sorry to bother you with this stupid question, but Bisan has asked for a complete stop in economic activity. Can I still donate to help Palestinians or is it better to avoid any transactions for the week ? Thank you so much for what you're doing

hello anon. don't apologise, you're a breath of fresh air after the recent visitors in my inbox. I think a slightly more accurate description of Bisan’s ask is to stop or minimise all economic activity not in direct support of Palestine. Now more than ever, I would encourage people to donate to escape funds for Palestinians, to direct aid organisations like CareforGaza and the PCRF, and to buy e-sims as they’re running low.

Below I’ve compiled a list of resources below but this is definitely just a small sample size of what you can do to help during this strike. This post here is an extremely comprehensive resource that I’d recommend you have a look at.

credible organisations that are doing work on the ground in Palestine:

Care for Gaza:non-profit charity that distributes money, food and other resources directly to families in Gaza.They maintain a regular presence on Twitter and Instagram. You can donate to them via Paypal here.

PCRF / Palestine Children's Relief Fund: non-profit organisation that distributes essential food and resources to families in Gaza. Most recently, they delivered 30 tons of vital medicine, and 82,000 pounds of flour.

Medical Aid For Palestinians: deploys medical teams to treat Palestinians suffering under Israel's malicious bombardments.

Donate e-sims to Palestine: massive post with tutorials and relevant links, with discount codes included in the post and in the replies.
