Night after night, Israel violates the false ceasefire. The sounds of their bombs terrorize Sama'a's little girls, who have never known peace. Please give what you can to help them.

We’re five years into the pandemic, and the science is telling a very different story than “just a cold.” COVID affects blood vessels, organs, metabolism, and cognition — and the impacts compound with each infection.

A teal line reads: “This is the first of a series of posts on Long COVID by David Brasure.” Big headline in black: “COVID isn’t a cold. It’s cigarettes all over again.” Footer line: “The World Health Network is a network devoted to global compassion—working together to inspire collective action through science for a safer, healthier world.” WHN graphic on a light background with whn.global logo top left and teal line: “This is the first of a series of posts on Long COVID by David Brasure.” Large headline: “People feel ‘fine’ … until they’re not. Every infection leaves a physiological footprint.” Body text: “Research continues to show that COVID can cause inflammation, microclotting, and tissue injury across multiple organs — even after ‘mild’ or asymptomatic cases. Like smoking in the mid-century, the harm isn’t always immediate. People lived their lives normally until, suddenly, they couldn’t. Your body is keeping score.” Footer line with WHN mission: “The World Health Network is a network devoted to global compassion—working together to inspire collective action through science for a safer, healthier world.”

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

Spotify is crashing HARD because of the boycott. Their stock dropped 11% in value over the last month. Let’s keep this going!

Tell everyone you know to boycott Spotify. There are plenty of alternatives that don’t run ICE advertisements and screw over artists.

We made it easy at boycottspotify.com.

I am fundraising for an anonymous friend, who is a trans sex worker and POC. They are at risk of losing custody of their children. Please, please donate. This is a situation that is painful and scary beyond description.

PLEASE SHARE GRAPHICS WIDELY

🫂 www.gofundme.com/f/help-keep-... 🫂
URGENT NEED! HELP KEEP FAMILY TOGETHER, DONATE NOW! We are raising funds for a pillar of our community: a trans sex worker of color who is at risk of losing custody of their children. While their lawyers are confident they can win this discriminatory case, funds are needed by February 2026. We believe they should no longer have to face this on their own, which is why we are asking for your support. Goal: $50,000 https://www.gofundme.com/help-keep-family-together-urgent Venmo: carta-monir Cashapp: $cartamonir Send donations with a red heart emoji to ensure funds are redirected to this SWER We are raising funds for a beloved community member; a trans sex worker of color who is at risk of losing custody of their children. For their safety and privacy they must remain anonymous, but this is a pillar of our community, loved and verified by those of us running this fundraiser. Our friend is facing a trial in February regarding the custody of their young children. The case against them is based on the fact that their primary form of income is sex work. Notably, the judge of the initial custody arrangement ruled that their job was not reason enough to restrict their parenting time years ago. Because of this precedent, their lawyer feels very confident they will win their upcoming case. To defend their rights to parent their own children, our friend needs to raise $75,000 by February 2026. This staggering amount of money is required by the court to cover the costs associated with a two day trial (lawyers fees, expert witnesses, the court reporter, depositions, creation of trial binders, the list goes on). If they cannot secure these funds by the February deadline, they will be forced to settle, resulting in severely reduced interaction with their children. We obviously do not want this to happen. Our friend has provided for themself and their children for years, fighting their custody battle in private while continuing to be an incredible parent, friend, and educator. They can no longer face this by themselves, which is why we are asking for your support. In our current political climate, we know that our friend's situation is especially precarious. This is a crucial moment to show solidarity with a community member who needs it more than ever.

Isabel: You're worse than a nun! Lave: You'd better watch your tongue. He patted his left side. Lave: Four nights from now, he'll be making the rules. No more wine for Sister Isabel! Isabel: Ha...! Isabel's face turned. Isabel: That'd be fine. At least then I'd know for sure that you're part of him. screenshot of "Orangepeel, Onionskin." the background depicts Lave, a young fat man with white hair, embracing Mona, a thin woman with black hair. they are lying on the ground, in the dark, with miserable expressions. the text reads: Mona: I'm sorry.

(2/2) Thanks for reading :)
Page 5. To revel in the open wound, to take them from the outside world to inside of myself, make them answerable to me and me alone. What better way is there, really, to do this than thru comics? Last panel is my reflection in the mirror as I draw on my tablet. My hair is long and I'm sat on my bed in my boxers, focused.

(1/2) my autobio comic for noah's ark IV "I'm not allowed to draw this!"
title: nauma in "I can't draw this!" for noah's ark IV Narration: It was really hard for me to think of what to draw for this theme because I'm at a place in my career where I'll draw anything for a biscuit. Panel shows a hand holding a biscuit emerging from a curtain saying "6 nipples, 21 toes, 14 cocks, 7 heads..." I impatiently draw at a tablet saying "YA just leave the money on the table!!!" Narration: But when I really think about what I'm embarrassed to show anyone... I guess... it's like... pretty... girls... in dresses... Panel shows a girl tucking her hair behind her ear. I'm starting to blush. Narration: and they get fucked??? (usually by men...) I... Panel shows a beautiful girl with curly hair in lingerie tied in ropes while a hand burns her thighs with a cigarette. I look dismayed. Page 2. Narration: I... isn't this so HETERONORMATIVE and BORING? I used to be so smug about my niche tastes, and now I'm nothing special!!! But it was a big deal for me to get here. Flashback to a few years ago where I'm sobbing in front of a mirror, my hair short. I think "GOD I really treat myself like SHIT! I don't treat myself like a person let alone a girl. I just treat myself like some THING! (I was so cute with short hair tho.) I had received plenty of this growing up, but now as an adult I found myself alone holding the whip. (Where did everyone go?) And I wanted out. In images of beautiful girls I saw a personhood not afforded to me. I hated them, but I wanted to be them. Like Prometheus, I wanted to poach that divine flame. Panels show grainy classical images of girls with long hair, pretty dresses, skinny limbs, etc. Page 3. So I made new stories. I drew up these women that didn't exist outside of me. They existed because of me. Drawing is kinda based in this way. From your hand to the line and back into your brain, it becomes possible to craft a new relationship with yourself. (drawing porn especially is really good for this) Page 4. To be clear, it would be wrong to say I uncovered some primal truth or became emancipated from the social order and history which stripped me of my personhood in the first place. Any wounds I've endured are alive and well within me. And I want to ask: why heal at all? (And heal into what?) Panel shows Botticelli's venus with a gash in her stomach. Ultimately what I did was decide to show an interest in myself. To become instrumental in my pleasure as well as my misery. Panel shows me walking home on my street.
