Copying This Over From My IG. All @‘s Are IG Handles!

An informational comic I drew last year for my Comics 2 class, reposting it to my new account (had to jump ship from the old one unfortunately) with some minor grammar changes and learned my lesson in adding watermarks! Happy early pride :)

Your Kindness Can Bring Us Back to Life and Family🙏

🔴🔴This campaign has been vetted by: @el-shab-hussein @moayesh @nabulsi @gaza-evacuation-funds

Hello beloved community ✋

🔴 I am Noura Ayman, a medical lab specialist, and I am desperately seeking your help. 🥺 In July 2023, I left Gaza for urgent medical treatment in Egypt, where we finally welcomed our miracle baby, Hanan, after four IVF attempts.

Our joy turned to despair in October 2023 when war broke out in Gaza. Stranded in Egypt without income, our home was bombed, and we lost everything. My husband, Ibrahim, is here with me, along with his parents. His father, battling cancer, requires expensive treatments.

We urgently need $50,000 to establish a medical lab and $24,000 to complete our master’s degrees, ensuring a stable future for Hanan. Additionally, we need $15,000 to help my family escape the dangers in Gaza.

We are receiving very few donations, and without your immediate help, we won’t be able to survive this crisis. Please, we need your support now more than ever.🇵🇸🍉

Thank you from the depths of my heart. ❤️🇵🇸

Most of us will never know the agony of being a parent that does everything to provide for their child, only to keep coming up empty. Of the immense suffering and self-loathing that comes with being responsible for this little life, and feeling like you're failing: to keep them safe, warm, sheltered, fed. Of holding your child, your toddler, your newborn, watching them slowly waste away from that relentless, gnawing hunger you can't stop (one that you feel yourself). Watching as they howl in pain, and the hollowness that comes when your child becomes too weak even to do that. All the while being totally helpless to stop it because it's not up to you.

Most of us will only see the aftermath of such a thing: a parent carrying the far-too-light shroud of their child, pictured under a headline that details how starvation has taken hold of some given population. Distant and removed from us.

Except that it isn't. There are so many desperate parents who've run out of options, for whom this isn't some abstraction, who are asking—begging—us for our help. Just so they'll be able to buy some of the shit canned food left from the last aid delivery, and a couple loaves of bread to feed their children with. Extortionately pricey because of scarcity, but it's enough to keep their children in a state of "acute malnutrition" rather than "catastrophic hunger", so they'll pay anything for it.

Attacks on NGOs & prevention of aid into Gaza puts every single person there at risk of a slow death due to starvation. Especially children, like Samah's newborn baby boy, her little 2 year-old girl, and their big sister (who's only 9). But we can help. What's pocket money for us, is an invaluable lifeline to parents like Samah. At a time when so many seem to have decided to live in an alternate universe in which deliberate starvation and mass slaughter of civilians is acceptable, we have to do what we can to oppose it. Not to push it away, to ignore it, to decide it's been going on so long we don't care or that it's hopeless so give up, but to grit our teeth, dig our heels in, and say "no, seriously, what the fuck are we doing here?"

tldr: donate to Samah so she can buy food for her kids so they don't starve to death. please. and thank you. :)

awesamdude you crazy mf

has anyone else noticed that being alive is like. not the most dignified experience ever

Need a minute to breathe?

I have a little sideblog called sootheyourself that I started for my kid when they were away at college and struggling with their mental health. (Hence the strange in-jokey blog title and description.) It's a place where I reblog cute cat videos and relaxing art and sweet funny pictures for them, and for anyone else who wants to visit.

New posts show up there in fits and starts, although going forward I am hoping to put a lot more stuff there a lot more often now that *gestures at everything*

But you can stop by any time, and if you go in through the page at https://sootheyourself.tumblr.com/ there are links at the top to my tags for animal videos & pix, posts that are kinda funny, posts that offer support, and posts that are calming. There's even a link to get a random post that you can click as many times as you want. (There are over 1k posts in the archives.)

Help us get out of Gaza 🙏🙏
