When a person is brave, he is called a wolf. When he is strong, he is called a lion. When he is merciful he is called a human. When all the qualities are combined in him, he is called Sinwar

A calligraphy piece I drew in Procreate today. It reads "Bismillah Al-Rahman Al-Raheem" or in English "In the name of Allah the Most Gracious, Most Merciful"

It's okay to not be okay. Go at your own pace and be gentle with yourself.

I’m a disabled artist with cptsd from surviving a childhood of sex trafficking, so I’ve been struggling to survive. Winter is coming and I need to get a coat and gear asap! Contribute/share:

I've been stuck crowdfunding for the essentials like food and housing, but winter is coming and I badly need: boots, a coat, and blankets for my bed😩
I've seen yt folks raise thousands for pets in a day, but I can hardly raise a couple hundred for survival #ma

It’s very depressing how difficult it is to crowdfund for basic necessities like food and medication 😩

I'm struggling to buy groceries this week! I am diabetic but healthy food is expensive! A good way to resist fascism is supporting the survival of a Black Trans artist!

I just received $15, thank you so much! Can anyone match that? I'm trying to get vitamins, groceries, and hygiene essentials, any amount helps!

Helping a Black trans person survive is a great way to subvert fascism!

Israel’ has stolen over 2,000 bodies from dozens of Gaza's cemeteries, bulldozing and destroying at least 40 of them since October 2023. They have previously admitted to harvesting skin, corneas, heart valves, and bones from Palestinian bodies.

All of this plus the booming overture of my decades long depression, CPTSD, and extreme memory problems. In still recovering from 5 years of bedrot. That's muscular atrophy, skin issues, speech issues. How am I supposed to tread water, let alone rise above my circumstances

The list goes on. At any given time I am doing a wartime triage. What's more important? Rent? Electricity? My physical strength?(Aka food, access to exercise). My energy? Mental energy? Or is it a bus pas for the month? My phone bill?

I've spent years studying to learn what I need to do to be healthy, and survive. Imagine how it feels to learn that I just need...money. Also known as, clean air in my apartment, ppe, vitamins, supportive shoes, hypoallergenic skincare, a balanced(for a diabetic) diet...

Today my daughter's preschool is holding a farewell assembly for one of her classmates whose mother has no choice but to self deport. The school is hoping it will be joyful in tone, so we might make this less upsetting for this 3 year old.

There's just no words for the uselessness of this cruelty.

I haven't been able to afford re-supplying my hypoallergenic skincare/haircare/hygiene products for the past few months, so I've been using dollar store generics, and now my eczema is flaring. Eczema on: my hands, feet, lips, scalp. Allergic reactions galore😒
