Part two of the art dump
This time we're delving into some OC art as well. The big dragon lady is called Lizzie, she belongs to my friend who doesn't have any socials but if you have any messages for her I'll ferry them through :) . The fellow to the right is an enderman OC I have called Speaker.
@anactualdump my friend @stale-cornflakes suggested I tag you, enjoy the meme. They got me to read through a bit of bsq (which I've learned is the abbreviation for before status quo) and at some point I got this idea. The tree is a censor for the horse btw, for our (sadly not Pol's) safety :)

I apologize for the blurry photo here :(
His young niece suffered a severe head injury in a bombing on a school in Nuseirat and was taken to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital before being discharged, and is recovering last I heard, Alhamdullilah. Every day they live in fear, have been forcibly displaced at least once, and like everyone else in Gaza endure forced starvation and dehydration. There have been too many close calls, our hearts can’t take it anymore.
I’m sorry it looks so plain… My anxiety around appearing as a scam is why I hesitated to promote it so much, but Ahmed is a shy and private person and I am working within his boundaries, respecting his wishes not to share his face or full name, more or less his family. He deserves dignity… but we are very low on donations for these reasons… still at $534 under the ideal goal of $100,000. That is a big ideal that would help his whole family of 20+ people, including 12 children all under the age of 16.
Ahmed is a biomedical engineer and programmer with a passion for prosthetics. He will return to Gaza one day to help his community in fitting prosthetics for those injured as a result of “Israel’s” ongoing genocide, Insha’Allah. But… I have to get him here first. He will live with me, go back to school, and work to support his family and friends. He will be reunited with his father in America, whom he hasn’t seen in 22 years but loves and misses very much. Funds for now are any medical bills for his niece or medical treatment his mother needs, keeping them and particularly all the children fed, repairing damages to their home and rebuilding his brother’s shop which was once very popular in Gaza. Saving up for travel costs once the border opens, and the application fees I will have to pay for his fiancé immigration visa ($675).
I couldn’t speak of him more highly; Ahmed is an amazing person and beautiful soul. Keep him and his family in your thoughts and prayers 🤲🏻
Anything at all helps, whether it be sharing, reposting elsewhere or donating even $1 or $5. We are eternally grateful, thank you 🤍
Hello, I'm Lama from Gaza. As you know, we lost everything we owned...our house, our work, our car, and members of my family, and we are trying to survive. 💔😭
Our memories, our home, our lives, everything no longer exists, nothing remains as it was, and now we need your help again. My gofundme campaign has been cancelled, and now I have created a campaign on chuffed to continue and to fight in this difficult life. 😭🥶
With your presence, we will complete our lives and continue.🙏🫂🫂
@jeebusmeebus got me into homestuck recently so i shall present this fellow here until i gather enough rendered work for a decent post
What's new(ish) in the settler-colonial state of the US is that a series of bills have been passed in the House (the Baby Senate as I like to say) and are on their way to the Senate that make it harder to voice support for Palestinians while also making sure your direct taxes aid the genocide in Gaza.
These bills affirm the US's stance on the settler-colonial Zionist Entity and the implicit ties that the government has with Israel and really — just goes to show you how Israel is just one big base for American Imperialism.
Anyways, there's still time to call your senate and tell them that you don't want these bills that only further spiral the US into fascism so even if you think it might not do much — it's important that we document our dissent in official sources. And while you're at it — call your congressperson and tell them that if they voted for this you're not voting for them next election. If they voted against the bills, still call your congresspeople and tell them you support their decision to vote against these bills.
Here are the bills:
Resolution Name: Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act Description: Gives $14.3 Billion To Israel From The IRS (Taxes You Pay). Like straight up. Just takes it from an IRS project, which used our tax dollars to begin with, to give to Israel "defense." Link to check summary: https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/118/hr6126
Resolution Name: "Condemning the support of Hamas, Hezbollah, and other terrorist organizations at institutions of higher education, which may lead to the creation of a hostile environment for Jewish students, faculty, and staff." Description: Will Penalize Students On American College Campuses For Supporting Palestine. This includes "Free Palestine" Protests as according to Rep Owens who introduced the bill (Click). Link to check who voted: https://www.govtrack.us/congress/votes/118-2023/h578
Resolution Name: "Tolerance in Palestinian Education Act" Description: They will be examining Palestinian education materials to see if it promotes "hate" or "violence" (aka are they teaching their children to become murderers??). Will inevitably require Revision Of Text Books In Palestinian Schools To Portray The Occupation In A Positive Light. Link to summary: https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/118/hr3266
Resolution Name: "The Hamas International Financing Prevent Action" Description: Claims to stop financial support for "terrorist" organizations but considering that Gaza's government is run by Hamas, then this would mean Gaza will receive absolutely no aid and donating to people in Gaza could get you in legal trouble. Link to summary: https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/118/hr340
There's a button for most of these bills that allows you to contact your representative directly. Please do take the time to contact them — while many of this isn't especially new to Palestinians, the difference is now that we have a larger power in numbers than we did in the past. Please make sure to advocate for you Palestinian comrades in the US whenever possible! Help us Free Palestine one step at a time!
Here is the fabled beetlesona (well... technically just an oc)(or is it?), this is just concept art because I'm still messing around with the vest and colours. Hope you enjoy them
