A Future Beyond War Starts With You 💙
My name is Naser. War took everything from me—
my mother, my sister, my home, and the life I once knew.
In a single moment, my world was shattered,
leaving behind only memories and the weight of loss.
But even in the darkest moments,
I refuse to give up. ✊
Because I still have something worth fighting for—
my three younger brothers.
🔹 One dreams of becoming a doctor 🩺—to heal others so they don’t have to suffer like we did.
🔹 Another wants to be an engineer 🏗️—to rebuild what war has destroyed.
🔹 And the youngest? He just wants to be a kid again 🧸—
to wake up in a safe home 🏠,
to laugh, to play, to feel peace.
🏡 We need a home. We need education. We need hope.
Right now, we are not just fighting for survival—
we are fighting for the chance to live, to grow, to dream again.
We are fighting for a future where my brothers
can become the doctor, the engineer,
and the child who gets to have a childhood.
💙 This is where you come in.
I’m not asking for much—just a chance.
A chance to rebuild.
A chance to give my brothers a future beyond war.
Your support—whether through a donation or simply sharing our story—can make all the difference.
Even the smallest act of kindness can create ripples of change. ✨
🙏 Will you help us rebuild?
Together, we can prove that war doesn’t get the final word—
hope does.
Thank you for standing with us. 💙✨
uhhhh who said only men fight in wars and change tires? men did. not women. you said we couldn't fight, so you sent young men to die. when men ran out, you sent women, who died too. till the recent past, being a soldier was a measure of manliness. i thought you loved it? Paying the bills? women do that too, especially single women, because they need to survive. Even married women pay bills, if they're working. If they're not, they take care of the house hold. This is not about 'asking women to clean once or twice' this is about saying that women exist to only clean and cook for you.
You gave yourself away, too. 'i shouldn't be pressured into things associated with my gender' said sarcastically, implying that women should, in fact. be forced to do so.
and the protecting women part? that's funny. Aren't you responsible for 90 per cent of all rapes?
why should women take you seriously? our worth is clearly defined by you as whether or not we can be kept barefoot, pregnant and cooking. 'only women should be allowed to keep gender roles' uhhhh no. all the gender roles today, were enforced years ago by men. and the ironic bit about this is that by the end of your post, you imply that only a woman who bears children is a good woman, enforcing and parroting the same old story.
Also sacrificing things in a relationship? only women are expected to do that. leave your job for a baby that your man wants. cook and clean and spend half your life doing just that. career? none.
also do men not want just money and sex? i thought that was why you have girfriends, who you'll never marry or have children with, while you do a 9 to 5 because you want a little money.
traditionally 'masculine' men: i need a woman to make me dinner🥺 i can't do it myself because that's her place to do so and i'm just too manly 🥺 she needs to be nurturing like my mommy🥺 also her asking for any material possession in return for her services is so rude of her weeeeeeh😭 doesn't she know she's my mommy???😭😭😭
'you are going to cry not all muslims' basically you're taking the actions of a couple of extremists as the front for all muslims. wow. amazing. muslims are totally waking up in the morning frothing at the mouth thinking about killing hindus. they have better things to worry about, for example people like you.
"Terrorism has no religion"
a slogan neatly written, folded and smoothened to perfection thrown in the face of those butchered tourists.
lesbians and trans people have a weird thing for mushrooms...
tbh the pope dying a day after d vance isn't that great. i'd have died on the spot on account of breathing the same air.
Can't afford art school?
After seeing post like this 👇
And this gem 👇
As well as countless of others from the AI generator community. Just talking about how "inaccessible art" is, I decided why not show how wrong these guys are while also helping anyone who actually wants to learn.
Here is the first one ART TEACHERS! There are plenty online and in places like youtube.
📺Here is my list:
Proko (Free, mostly teaches anatomy and how to draw people. But does have art talks and teaches the basics.)
Marc Brunet (Free but he does have other classes for a cheap price. Use to work for Blizzard and teaches you everything)
Aaron Rutten (free, tips about art, talks about art programs and the best products for digital art)
BoroCG (free, teaches a verity of art mediums from 3D modeling to digital painting. As well as some tips that can be used across styles)
Jesse J. Jones (free, talks about animating)
Jesus Conde (free, teaches digital painting and has classes in Spanish)
Mohammed Agbadi (free, he gives some advice in some videos and talks about art)
Ross Draws (free, he does have other classes for a good price. Mostly teaching character designs and simple backgrounds.)
SamDoesArts (free, gives good advice and critiques)
Drawfee Show (free, they do give some good advice and great inspiration)
The Art of Aaron Blaise ( useful tips for digital art and animation. Was an animator for Disney. Mostly nature art)
Bobby Chiu ( useful tips and interviews with artist who are in the industry or making a living as artist)
Sinix Design (has some tips on drawing people)
Winged canvas (art school for free on a verity of mediums)
Bob Ross (just a good time, learn how to paint, as well as how too relax when doing art. "there are no mistakes only happy accidents", this channel also provides tips from another artist)
Scott Christian Sava (Inspiration and provides tips and advice)
Pikat (art advice and critiques)
Drawbox (a suggested cheap online art school, made of a community of artist)
Skillshare (A cheap learning site that has art classes ranging from traditional to digital. As well as Animation and tutorials on art programs. All under one price, in the USA it's around $34 a month)
Human anatomy for artist (not a video or teacher but the site is full of awesome refs to practice and get better at anatomy)
Second part BOOKS, I have collected some books that have helped me and might help others.
📚Here is my list:
The "how to draw manga" series produced by Graphic-sha. These are for manga artist but they give great advice and information.
"Creating characters with personality" by Tom Bancroft. A great book that can help not just people who draw cartoons but also realistic ones. As it helps you with facial ques and how to make a character interesting.
"Albinus on anatomy" by Robert Beverly Hale and Terence Coyle. Great book to help someone learn basic anatomy.
"Artistic Anatomy" by Dr. Paul Richer and Robert Beverly Hale. A good book if you want to go further in-depth with anatomy.
"Directing the story" by Francis Glebas. A good book if you want to Story board or make comics.
"Animal Anatomy for Artists" by Eliot Goldfinger. A good book for if you want to draw animals or creatures.
"Constructive Anatomy: with almost 500 illustrations" by George B. Bridgman. A great book to help you block out shadows in your figures and see them in a more 3 diamantine way.
"Dynamic Anatomy: Revised and expand" by Burne Hogarth. A book that shows how to block out shapes and easily understand what you are looking out. When it comes to human subjects.
"An Atlas of animal anatomy for artist" by W. Ellenberger and H. Dittrich and H. Baum. This is another good one for people who want to draw animals or creatures.
Etherington Brothers, they make books and have a free blog with art tips.
📝As for Supplies, I recommend starting out cheap, buying Pencils and art paper at dollar tree or 5 below. If you want to go fancy Michaels is always a good place for traditional supplies. They also get in some good sales and discounts. For digital art, I recommend not starting with a screen art drawing tablet as they are usually more expensive.
For the Best art Tablet I recommend either Xp-pen, Bamboo or Huion. Some can range from about 40$ to the thousands.
💻As for art programs here is a list of Free to pay.
Clip Studio paint ( you can choose to pay once or sub and get updates. Galaxy, Windows, macOS, iPad, iPhone, Android, or Chromebook device. )
Procreate ( pay once for $9.99 usd, IPAD & IPHONE ONLY)
Blender (for 3D modules/sculpting, animation and more. Free)
PaintTool SAI (pay but has a 31 day free trail)
Krita (Free)
mypaint (free)
FireAlpaca (free)
Aseprite ($19.99 usd but has a free trail, for pixel art Windows & macOS)
Drawpile (free and for if you want to draw with others)
IbisPaint (free, phone app ONLY)
Medibang (free, IPAD, Android and PC)
NOTE: Some of these can work on almost any computer like Clip and Sai but others will require a bit stronger computer like Blender. Please check their sites for if your computer is compatible.
So do with this information as you will but as you can tell there are ways to learn how to become an artist, without breaking the bank. The only thing that might be stopping YOU from using any of these things, is YOU.
I have made time to learn to draw and many artist have too. Either in-between working two jobs or taking care of your family and a job or regular school and chores. YOU just have to take the time or use some time management, it really doesn't take long to practice for like an hour or less. YOU also don't have to do it every day, just once or three times a week is fine.
Hope this was helpful and have a great day.

this can't be real????????????
@dosa-sambhar blaming oppressed people SC/ST/OBC is easier than blaming the government. you can kill oppressed people, but you can't kill the government.
repeat after me: caste reservations are not the problem, the lack of government colleges and seats is.
as a brown person, somewhere along the way, we stopped bringing up differences between white and coloured women to highlight white privilege and instead just began to use 'white' as an excuse to single out and attack women for their harmless, personal practices. First we excuse such comments towards white women without recognizing their misogynist quality and then we move to colored women.
🌿 My Name is Rola, and This is My Story 🌿
I never thought I would be writing this. I never thought I would be begging for help just to keep my children warm, just to feed them one more meal. But here I am, reaching out to you, because I have no other choice.
My name is Rola. I am a mother of two beautiful children, and before October 7th, we had a life filled with love and laughter. We had a home. My children had their own room, filled with their toys and drawings. We would sit together on our balcony, drinking coffee in the early morning light. We had dreams, just like any other family.
But in an instant, it was all gone.
A missile struck. The earth shook beneath us. The air filled with dust and fire. My husband and son ran, stumbling over each other in terror. I stood frozen, the ringing in my ears drowning out my own screams. Our home was shattered—windows blown out, doors ripped from their hinges. And when I looked outside, our neighbor’s house, a place that once echoed with children's laughter, was nothing but rubble and ash.
That was just the beginning.
The bombs never stopped. Every night, I held my children close as the sky rained fire. The sound of explosions mixed with the cries of mothers searching for their babies in the darkness. I covered my children, whispering words of comfort, but how do you comfort a child who is terrified of dying in their sleep?
We had to leave. We walked away from everything—our home, our memories, the warmth of our life before. My children left behind their favorite toys, their books, their safe space. Now, we have nothing.
No home.
No food.
No clean water.
No way out.
I went to buy sugar the other day. It cost $20 for just a kilo. Food is disappearing, and the little that remains is impossible to afford. Every day, I fight to find just enough to keep my children alive.
I am exhausted. I am scared. I need your help.
I never imagined I would have to beg for my family’s survival. But today, I am.
Please, if you are reading this, help us. Help me save my children. Help us find shelter, food, a way to rebuild even a small piece of the life we lost. If we ever have the chance to leave, we need support. If we are forced to stay, we need a home again.
Every donation matters. Every share helps. Every voice that speaks for us keeps hope alive.
💚 Please donate if you can. Share our story. Help us survive. 💚
when i was six i wholeheartedly believed that surgeons eat human organs, which was what they were cutting people open for
i am of an average height by my country's standards, but have since realized that i am an oddly puntable size by american standards
which one? being specific leads to concentrated effort teeheehee
replacing 'im gonna kill myself' with 'im gonna assassinate a former us president'. this is gonna do wonders for my mental health.

Not another post whining about why “mUgHaLs WeRe nOt cOlOnizErs” like girl, they were literally foreign invaders who forced you to speak their language, broke your temples, tried eradicating your culture and collected zizya taxes motivated by religious bigotry in hopes of forcing your people to convert! At least have some shame and consideration for your ancestors.
@catboymoments that cat will make you explode. there is no other reason as to why it is looking at you like that.
I love my kittyyyyyyyyy
My beloved hazy
@tiredguyswag said you cannot take community action if you cannot stomach having to take individual action and honestly? why would you hide this in the tags?
I'm from the us and like..the people in your notes have me soooo confused. Are they genuinely saying its hard to boycott...fast food? Like not even all fast food places, McDonald's specifically?? It has me confused because -
1.These people are mainly grown ass adults and whining about it.
2.Its not hard to...not go to McDonald's??🤨
Like i was 15 when the boycott started, and as soon as it did I told my mom that we should stop going and why, and we havent gone back since. It's not hard at all to stop going to fast food chains, again let alone McDonald's. And it's not like my mom and I are mega rich, we have money issues too and yet we rarely get fast food, and when we do it's not McDonald's.
Maybe im missing something but do people not know that if you (generally speaking) have the mentality of "I'm just one person, what can I do?" Then shit never gets done??
And with all this time they spent explaining why boycotting is "hard" they could've been like, idk, sharing resources to people who dont know about it? 🤷🏾♀️Reflecting on why they think this way, reflecting on why theres a boycott instead of making excuses? Like again I'm seeing grown ass people who've been grown for a while doing this shit, and it has me so confused .🤦🏾♀️
Also in case someone gets like, pissy about me saying this and tries to say I'm like- idk, probably a white person on a high horse saying all this (which it wouldnt matter either way but oh well)- I'm black .🙂👍🏾
Sorry to you if this comes across as annoying,, I just wanted to share my thoughts 😺
yeah the amount of time they spent whining could have been used to do better things.
it's not like mcd is the only restaurant chain in the usa. you can always eat somewhere that isn't giving money to a genocidal army.
honestly thank you 🥹🥹 you're one of the only sane usamericans to respond to that post
lmao im also pretty sure there are other fast food options than mac donalds. 'takes a nation-wide effort' why don't you start with yourself first? is there nothing but mac d in your country? when america makes a bad decision, the rest of the world suffers for it. all your money goes into bombing other countries, which is why you're so poor, yet not a single one of you has even tried, minutely, to stop this from happening. the worst part is this has been going on for years but none of you really give a shit, atleast not enough to stop it.
it's so fucking funny to see yankees talk about how they're gonna bring a revolution and change their country and help each other because #community. you guys couldn't even boycott mcdonalds.
they essentially consider you to be the type of homely bakery that sells the bread they love
It's so nice being on tumblr because you don't even have to make your own post but people would still follow you anyways if you're good at rebloging posts they like
