I believe we aren't going to see substantial progress in the fight against child abuse until we start viewing children as people group. More specifically, until we stop viewing children as a parent's property, and start listening to their voices in the same way we'd listen to any oppressed class.

I'm sick of dancing around the issue, especially in front of parents who get offended when other people "try to tell them how to parent their kids". You know what, I don't want to make friends with people who think it's okay to treat other people as your property, for any reason.

Children aren't legally allowed to own property, even though they can legally earn money at fourteen.

Children who can cognitively process algebra are allowed to be denied healthcare if their guardian disapproves.

In many states, children are allowed to be intentionally hit if it leaves no substantial harm on their body.

It is considered morally neutral to hate children.

Children constantly have their experiences, perspectives, and worldviews tokenized because "they'll understand when they're older"

In many states, children are not even allowed to choose what name they are called by.

And don't give me the "their brains haven't fully developed yet! They could make bad decisions!"

Listen. Adult people with intellectual disabilities can own property. They can still get healthcare if their nurses or assistants deny them healthcare. You're not allowed to spank someone with an ID or slap them if they do something you don't approve of. If they earn money or other assets, it is legally their own. And I think anyone who unironically claims to hate disabled people will be flagged as an ableist.

The fight for disabled rights is far from over. That's not the point I'm making. The point is that it isn't about whether someone's brain is fully developed.

They don't care about the kids. They care about controlling the kids. They view children as their physical possessions.

teacher: “make a group of 4 for your project”

me and my friends:

hey guys just letting ya know a little donation goes a long way

It seems like everyone is sick of us and what we're going through. We've been the same since October 7th until now and we haven't changed. Why do you not care anymore? You left me with my dream of surviving and keeping my family? I am really sad. In the beginning, I was strong when everyone supported me, because no one cared and this made me give up. I did not reach a quarter of my goal on GoFundMe and you left me alone. Thank you, people. I am alive in Gaza. I have a dream that I am trying to achieve. I hope for help and that you will return to support me.💔🥀

I got an ask asking to to make a text gradient in Tumblr, unfortunately I did the entire tutorial in the ask and when I went to save it somehow it got deleted. Sorry about that.

Text gradients are fairly easy to do once you know how, it’s just a matter of practice and it can be quite repetitive if you, like me, use them on a regular basis.

I have literally lost faith in humanity.

a family bids farewell to their babygirl minutes ago, on the first day of Eid. Palestinians can't even celebrate without occupation bombardment.

💛 for two weeks, i’m opening up chibi commissions to help Gazan families escape their current hellish living conditions. These fundraisers are from people who reached out to me personally. Any amount makes a huge difference.

These are the lowest I have ever and will ever offer commissions, so please take advantage of this before July 22!

💛 Ashraf

💛 Sahar

💛 Mohammed

💛 Samer

💛 Abdelrahman

💛 Moamen

edit: in the form image, it says July 11, that's a mistake -- comms are open until July 22!

second edit: To accomodate the high volume of donations, I’ll be extending the return time to 3 weeks for all commissions, including those sent in before this announcement.

I’ll also be installing a cap at 500 requests, which might mean the donation period will be closed before July 22. I will post another announcement in the event that this happens!
