Is a 22 day early "birthday favor" too soon?

A "If I've done anything you appreciate pls repost/boost/give to anyone's mutual aid/emergency commission posts"?

My basic needs are met, but I'm not in position to help more than repost/boost so giving to those in need is like a birthday gift for me

Seems like a good day to help someone in Gaza

Molly Shah @mommunism.bsky.social · 1d

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Ramadan. Ramadan is 23 years old and worked in his father’s sewing factory. His father was killed and now he’s responsible for his family including his siblings Rula, 26, Rami, 20 and Ramey, 17 as well as his 2 year old nephew Jihad.

It's actually kind of crazy to me how in the past two days people in my mentions have basically said we should accept being killed by the state as a consequence of fighting for democracy.

I know there's a lot to keep up with but someone has ALREADY been killed by ICE in Chicago, its not a theoretical question, and folks are dying in ICE detention and being disappeared constantly, when you say "someone's gonna get killed" youre actually washing the blood from their hands 😘✌️

Uniting the working class means getting your people to stop being racist, transphobic, classist, etc for 10 mins running rather than getting marginalized people to be quiet about their oppression. I'm sorry your favorite relative picked the wrong side, but the civil war "broke up families" too.

But why is your family getting broken up by people choosing oppression worth more to you than the families torn apart everyday all around the world by the machinery of imperialism? Do you hear how selfish it sounds to spend years "working on" some racist than finding others who already share values?

Thank you to everyone for the likes on my first post 😊
Another #doodle, another #OC. This time: Nate! Those funky squiggles on his arm and his pointy ears mark him as a Wizard. Can he cast spells? In theory. In practice, he walks to the fridge for a SmartWater like everybody else.
#art

Two drawings of the same character (Nate): One of him daydreaming when he REALLY should be paying attention and done where he turns to wink at the viewer.

Nate on a swivel office chair, spinning as he operates a drone (read: R/C car with a camera and a mic)

He's got a huge family. Nate's #5 of 9. Here's 3 theoretical nieces and nephew absolutely terrorizing him

Hello world :)
This is a little #doodle of TK with his daughter Beli. Toddlers are WEIRD to draw, man!
#oc #art

rough, messy drawing of two dragon flavored people: TK and his young daughter Beli. TK is laying on his stomach, planting a driftwood/seaweed flag on a saggy sandcastle while Beli squats and whacks the sandcastle with a plastic beach shovel. A squiggly, abstract shoreline does oceany things in the background.

#art #OC

idek what to put here. A shadow creature in red with blue eyes pulls on bright pink strings wrapped around the wrists of a blue person with red eyes. The position of the blue one's arms suggest strain and discomfort. Their expression is pained and thick, strange tears ooze from their eyes. The shadow creature seems eerily gleeful, though what about is not explicitly clear.

My take on what a Murray eel mixed with a great white shark would look like, swimming against a circular ocean backdrop with the text, “Day 3 : Long Shark” “Murray Eel & Great White.

A simplistic/crude illustration of a black and white barn owl in a red bird cage. The owl is looking up, yellow eyes with no pupils with streaks of tears running down its face. Its beak is red. Above them is a yellow sphere with white in the middle, surrounded by white lines, like it's a glowing light. The background is blue.
