I was very pleased to hear from Soad today. I had feared that she and little Omar were dead, but they're not, just stuck in a place with very little internet. They still really need help, if you're able to donate. tinyurl.com/ycxdtddx @mommunism.bsky.social @lexialex.bsky.social @fairshare.help 🍉

Palestinian families like Eslam's have been violently displaced, sickened, & starved to death in Israel's genocide for 2 years. Please help if you can to cover the costs of travel, shelter, healthcare, food, Bluesky continues to torment genocide survivors by silencing them repeatedly:

Starting again feels impossible, but I’m trying.

"Somewhere lost between the clouded annals of history, lies a place that few have seen..."
#otgw #fanart

A dark and shadowy fanart of the characters from Over the Garden Wall.
The Beast looms over Greg, Beatrice, and Wirt with his arms stretch towards them. His right hand reaches for Beatrice while his left creeps closer to Wirt's lantern, the soft glow revealing his hands to be very sketchy and scribbly. Wirt, Greg, and Beatrice walk close together as Wirt holds the lantern up with his left hand. Greg looks back to Beatrice with a happy expression as if ranting about another rock fact. He holds his frog (Jason Funderberker) in his right arm as he jaunts along the dark path. Beatrice flies low looking at Greg engaging in his enthusiastic ramblings.

And if youuu caaannn believe it! It’s a little guy once again! This one makes me think of a chess piece

Image of a sculpey figurine in stone and bone colors, made to look like weathered carved rock. It’s akin to a skeleton peeking out of a cloak but squat and triangular. A sort of abbreviated rosary strand is affixed to its head.

sometimes you throw a bunch of things in a pot and it comes out merely edible.

at least willow likes it.

New little guy alert

Image of a polyclay skeleton with legs forming a hoop, around which is tied dirty twine. He is missing his upper teeth and is holding a swirling bead into which dead plant matter is inserted. More dirty twine is tied into a loop from the top of his head.
