hey! there's zero esims left for the connecting gaza campaign as of today. i remember you promoting them earlier. could you give them a much needed boost?
oh dang! unfamiliar with that particular campaign, as I always donate via crips for e-sims because it's super easy to do, but regardless let's go people!
GOUACHE TIME! Was it 100% approachable on the very first try? Debatable. But once I got the hang of it, it went super smoothly and I had a lot of fun!
And also HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE! I hope youโre having a lovely time despite all the struggles these years are throwing at us! โจ
I wore the Daniel Molloy t-shirt to the Emerald City Comic Con and got several random compliments plus a bonus 'is that Anthony Bourdain?' from a very confused guy.
aaahhh so glad you felt good enough in it to wear it at the con, thank you for letting me know ๐๐
@gingerhaole look! another bourdain appreciator!
"HellOoO there, capโtain Sweetcheeks ๐๐" + my fav details

I need to free up some space (and the Pratchett estate is back at it, in full witch hunting mode) so Iโm running a GO sale! Only a handful of copies left, 50% off on everything- most stickers and prints wonโt be reprinted so if you ever considered ordering something GO-related from my shop: this is your very last chance :D
๐๐๐๐๐พ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐พ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ are back babey!!
if anyone is trying to donate to help in Gaza through orgs, these ones were just banned by the Israeli government with no reason given and can no longer operate in Gaza (at least for now).
these are the orgs: Palestinian Australian New Zealand Medical Association, Glia Project, Palestinian American Bridge, PalMed, Baitulmaal, FAJR, Palestinian American Medical Association, Palestinian Childrenโs Relief Fund
from what iโve been told by people who have been working in/coordinating aid in Gaza, Palestinian Red Crescent Society, World Central Kitchen, and Anera are unaffected by this order, but everyone has been limited in what they can bring in. while the middle two arenโt medical orgs, they have been bringing in some medicine. PRCS is a red cross affiliate providing medical care.
(not trying to sway anyoneโs donations but wanted to put this out there since PCRF has been the org iโve recommended several people donate to previously.)
He's just fine. You're fine. This is fine. We're all fine
this is fine :)
(pssst stickers of this are available on my etsy shop along a few new iwtv entries)
So he was teased a little in chapter 3. To my surprise, a couple days after I posted it, Umu messaged me with the final product! I'm telling you, they did wonders on this thing. Off of barely anything too.
SO! Azrael! For those who haven't seen Dogma, Azrael is a demon who's kinda working behind the scenes to erase all of existence. There's more to it, of course, but you know. I've played around some with his character in Good Dogma. For one, he's an Archangel here. The name Azrael wasn't his original name, but it's more of a title at this point. As is the status of Archangel, but you'll see.
He has a role he needs to play. Luckily, he knows how to play the system.
Here's a little spoiler I kinda wanna give... Many years from now, he's gonna start calling Crowley 'Beloved'. "Because you are oh so loved."
Oh thereโs much, much, much more than just the zine issue here. Thatโs just current history, really. However, I was one of the artists whoโs art has never been included in the zine (Kino ~forgot~ about them and then implied it was on us because they couldnโt find our emails) and one of those who tried to help them putting the file together before they went radio silence for then quietly proceed to delete everything. So yeah, apart from the teeny tiny detail that stealing from a fucking CHARITY is truly disgusting, I do care about this. We were used and deceived MULTIPLE times. On top of that, people paid for a faulty product that never got fixed. Weโre not talking about a hundred bucks- it was 1300+ dollars they pocketed and then claimed to have donated. How anyone could gather the sheer audacity to falsely state theyโve donated to a charity more than once is beyond me. Iโll give them that: they got balls.
I know about a couple of amazing people who are putting together a comprehensive doc as we speak- Iโm personally impatiently waiting for it. You wonโt believe how LONG the misgivings list goes on. The second you think to yourself โwell that must be it-โ BAM something else has to be added. Unbelievable.
Kino has blocked me on every social but last time Iโve heard from them, they accused me of harassing them. Note: I commented one of their idyllic IG stories, asking if they ever got the time to ALSO check on the donation issue. So donโt get fooled. With them, asking for accountability will inevitably always be translated to harassing.
i never do this kind of thing but iโm so incredibly frustrated at this happening and this person still updating their profiles, including the one they have on tumblr, as if nothing happened (save for twitter since itโs one of the few places this is being actively talked about)
donโt support @kinodrawsโ if you donโt want someone with a long history of scamming people to pocket your money!
to summarize this current situation:
they organized an ofmd zine, releasing a copy with missing/wrong credits, missing artists etc while the earnings of this zine were promised to go to charity. the charity has now confirmed there was no donation made on the date or amount they claimed to have made, kino has deleted all of the zineโs profiles and pages, fabricated having donated $1300+ to the charity (we have no receipts of how much the zine actually made so this amount is possibly made up as well) and after promising to fix the zine itself is now ignoring the situation completely
the current situation is better told by people involved and iโll include a couple threads
here
here
hereโs the charityโs response about the donation
they also have a page on artists beware here regarding a past commission scam
it appears theyโve done this in multiple fandoms with multiple names before so i doubt theyโll stop as long as they keep getting away with this
all this said donโt go harrass kino or be an idiot, i wanted to make this post bc stealing, lying about it and expecting to let the situation die down as they move on is something i donโt want to happen again since it seems like thatโs happened one too many times already. if you want to work with kino or commission them, please reconsider!
