Dear humanity,
Please Help Me – My Son May Die at Any Moment.
I'm Amal, a mother of three children, living under the weight of the genocide taking place in Gaza. 🍉
My son is suffering from a severe and life-threatening injury after being shot by Israeli drones. He urgently needs medical treatment outside Gaza.
Time is running out, and we are facing a critical situation. I am asking for your generosity to help us save him either through a donation or by sharing this urgent plea with others
I beg you, i kiss your feet, to help my son. My son may die at any moment
I lost most of my family. I'm afraid to lose my son too 🥺
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.
🌟 Our campaign is vetted by
🇵🇸 @/gazavetters List at #291
🍉🍉🍉 We are currently at €1,446 out of €5000 first goal - please consider donating to our family and helping us reach our goal as quickly as possible‼️
I will use my art to express myself to the world; without you, I will never have the ability to move on.
We need your support more than ever, the daily costs of living, and the expensive treatments, I hope that through your support I can reach safety with my family.

The first page of The Hobbit in the style of a 16th century medieval illuminated manuscript.
This started as a comfort drawing while I rewatched all the Hobbit films and ended up being a full on artwork that took a long time...
I don't know if this was obvious to everyone else, but I just realised that one of the reasons why the Hobbit is so effective as a children's book is that while Bilbo is an adult, the skills that make him a hero are all those of a child.
By human standards he's child-sized, which makes him unobtrusive and light on his feet. He can slip by unnoticed where bigger people can't.
He's good at playing games, and even cheats (successfully!) in a way that - let's face it - is not so different to how children try to cheat at games. He's polite in a way that's fully comprehensible to children (rather than, say, being able to perform courtly manners). He's quick-witted, but the trick of keeping the trolls talking is also one that would be achievable for a child.
He doesn't have magic powers, he's not a great fighter, and he's not some kind of Chosen One. There's not much that he does that couldn't be done by a ten-year-old, but the story shows just how valuable all those skills and traits are. It's very empowering.
Over 10 years ago I drew this mother naga with her kid and a bowl of gulab jamun, and I was blown away to see people still reblogging it and saying kind things here. I decided to draw a sequel, the PTA (People That are Anacondas) meeting is over, and she finally gets to have some gulab jamun. c: I really hope this cheers you up some.

Reblog to make the person u reblogged this from comfy n cozy
Tweets like this sincerely embody the attitude that helped lead Trump back to the White House btw
Of course, there are legitimate criticisms of Uber and Lyft, but the above attitude very quickly devolves into, "In the past, it was so cheap to have servants show up via my cell phone to deliver a $2 cheezborger to my house or drive me places. The economy is in shambles because now these services cost more money and we must RETVRN to the glory days. My burrito taxi costs money under the current system, so an outsider like Trump will make it cheaper! He’s a businessman! I am very intelligent.”
Meanwhile, this is the actual state of the economy

I understand the appeal of wanting every adult hero to instinctively adopt teenage Peter Parker, but can it really beat the hilarity of acknowledging that at 15 Peter was 5'10", unusually buff, went by a moniker with Man in it, wore a creepy full face mask, and had a tightly guarded secret identity and probably a Queens accent thick enough to have come out of a jello mold, and adult heroes reasonably responded to him by going, “Wow, this grown man is an immature asshole for no reason.”

Big yawn
reblog if you’re gay, shy or a fucking idiot
