In honor of reaching 200 followers on Tumblr, I am holding an art raffle until the 30th ofAugust!
This isn’t a regular art raffle, though! I am doing this in hopes of raising funds for the people of Palestine, Congo, and Sudan.
So, how do you enter?
Simple! Donate, and show me the confirmation page.
There will be tiers based on amount donated. Chosen organizations will be linked below the cut.
$5 - Headshot/Bust (shoulders up)
$10 - Half-Body (waist up)
$15 - Full-Body (…all of it)
If you’re curious about my art, you can look thru #my art on my blog, or check out the attacks I did during Art Fight this year: [1][2][3] [4]
If you donate, your name will be added to a wheel for a chance to win for your tier - that’s the raffle part. At time of posting, I plan to have 2 (two) winners from each tier, unless we somehow get more than ten donations out of this - which I hope we do!
This will be a one person effort, so please be patient with me :)
i would not say no to help confirming donations though…
SHARE if you can’t donate. Reblog > Like. Links below!
Can you even believe that we are nearing 11 months of active genocide and the only thing that’s changed is how much people care and are interested in being advocates for Gaza (I am watching you all lose interest in Palestine with my own eyes)
October 7, 2024 will be here before we know it and suddenly everyone will be talking about Palestine again because it is the “one year anniversary” and there will be a million articles and posts and think pieces about how we as society have let this happen for 365 days straight. And then it will turn October 8 and everyone will go back to pretending this genocide isn’t real
If you are currently sitting or laying down this moment ask yourself if you are resting or rotting. Change your behavior accordingly
There is no romance in decay when the decaying is easy
You are naught but pawns in my game
I hope some of y'all take this as a sign to rest intentionally too.
if you’re “resting” but thinking of all the things you have to do, that’s not resting, that’s rotting. Even if you haven’t done anything all day, give yourself some time to rest and truly relax. When you let yourself relax guilt free, you actually regain energy for your responsibilities.
do not forget the patron saint of these weeks that we celebrate ourselves proudly and openly in the streets
her name was Marsha P Johnson, and we have her to thank for so much.
remember, the first Pride was a riot, and she was one of the brave souls who endured it to help carve the path which so many of us walk today. she helped found several activist groups regarding LGBT safety and wellbeing. and she was absolutely radiant, too.
B: silk moths spend BASICALLY THEIR WHOLE LIVES AS CATERPILLARS and only wrap themselves in silk after they’ve lived all their life because
C: when they turn into moths, THEY DO NOT HAVE MOUTHS. this is a very common feature for moths. They turn into moths to have sex and then starve to death.
D: in the wild, maybe thirty out of a hundred eggs survive to be caterpillars. Maybe one out of a hundred survives to become a moth. A moth who has a few days, at most, to live. They have no way to defend themselves. Many die before they even get to mate. Some never find mates. If they don’t starve to death, they get eaten by a predator. And this isn’t even counting the ones who get eaten in the cocoon by parasitic wasps.
E: the lifecycle of a wild silkworm is to struggle, struggle, maybe get sex, then starve to death.
F: domestic silkworms are literally flightless. They cannot survive in the wild. But we take care of them. Nearly one hundred percent of silkworms survive to metamorphosis- and every single one of them lives a safe, warm, long life, where their favourite food is literally handed to them, where they want for nothing. And even THEN, MORE OF THEM SURVIVE TO BECOME MOTHS THAN THEY DO IN THE WILD. The ones who die do so painlessly, and 100% of them gets used- they’re literally edible. They get eaten, like they would in the wild, but infitesimally less painfully because they’re already dead when they get eaten. Even the cocoons from the moths who chewed through their silk get used! And the moths? The many more who survive than in the wild? They have gigantic orgies, lay eggs that they know will live the same long, idyllic lives they did, and then die.
The life of a domestic silkworm moth is the kindest, most perfect life they could ever live.
This is like if aliens said “hey you get to eat your favourite food forever, live longer than you ever would, and never be in any danger, and your children and their children and their children will also have this, but when you die peacefully in your sleep after living a full life (because you are ssfe from all diseases also) we get your clothes and also your bodies?” and also imagine YOU DON’T HAVE A CONCEPT OF A SOUL OR BURYING A BODY OR CREMATING A BODY OR DOING ANYTHING WITH A BODY. OR THAT THE BODY OF SOMEONE WHO DIED HAS ANY VALUE TO YOU WHATSOEVER. Assume dead humans like. Just lie there and get eaten by dogs.
Literally, to them, all we get out of this is like… instead of something else eating the bodies, we eat them? It’s literally just “hey instead of getting eaten by birds, would you like to have lives sweeter than you could imagine but like. You get eaten by monkeys and also less of you get eaten and you’re already dead when they eat you.”
If you’re going to judge someone for liking the byproduct of a process, maybe educate yourself on the process first.
So, I'm pretty much a bit of a derp but a lovable one at that. I kinda just post whatever I like so it gets rather random here, although one thing that'll probably pop out the most is Transformers related things.
Hmm... Oh, and it'll probably get a little NSFW on here every once in a while.
