“No Pride for some of us, without liberation for all of us.” - Marsha P. Johnson

We cannot celebrate Pride month or advocate for queer and trans liberation without first acknowledging how the lives of queer and trans Palestinians are being impacted throughout the genocide in Gaza as well as the oppression they’ve been enduring under Israeli apartheid and colonialism.

LGBTQ rights means rights for all of us. While Queer and Trans rights and lives are being weaponized by Israel and the United States to justify genocide of the Palestinian people, these entities steal the basic human rights of the Palestinian people, including their right to live.

Queer liberation cannot exist while the oppressions of colonialism and apartheid continue to cause violence in Palestine and we cannot claim to support queer and trans liberation while passively or actively supporting Israeli violence and colonialism.

During the month of June we will be opening commissions in support of Asmahan, a 21-year old college student from Gaza who was pursuing her bachelors degree in software engineering. At the bottom of this post we have linked a GoFundMe which will allow her to escape war and resume her studies in order to pursue her dreams. As of right now Asmahan has only reached 10% of her goal and together we hope that we can change that.

We will draw any person, friend, oc, or fictional character (and other things at request, even a sillysona!). A donation of $5 will get a half body black and white sketch. A donation of $10 will get a half body colored sketch. Any donation of over $20 will receive a full body colored sketch.

We will not draw nsfw or gore and can turn down any requests if we choose to.

To commission, please dm us proof of donation (the email confirmation as shown above) and then tell us your request! There are two of us running the store and we will distribute the commissions between the two of us evenly at random, so you may get either of the two styles shown above.

No Pride in Genocide, No Pride in Apartheid. Free Palestine.

hi! sorry this is so abrupt, but i was hoping that you could boost this gofundme campaign. it has been vetted by gazafunds (you can check by searching "help the helpless mother & her 3 children in gaza" in https://gazafunds.com/all). there are also unique photos and videos in their gofundme description!

al-ameen was a three-year-old with leukemia who passed away on may 14th after his family has unable to afford medical treatment. this campaign is for his mother and remaining three siblings: ahmed, rema and mohammed. they have had no source of income since their father went missing months back. this family has already been through unthinkable loss. it's the least we can do to support them in a time of grief and crisis.

here is the link to their campaign: https://www.gofundme.com/f/financial-help-for-the-family-of-alameen

the campaign goal is extremely reachable at only £15,000. however, progress as been stagnating. i've been promoting al-ameen's family's campaign on my personal blog, but i simply do not have very much reach. it would mean so much if you could share this link!!

currently at £2,334/ £15,000 !

When sorrow and difficulties strike hard, hope becomes the lone star in the dark sky. This is the story of Amira, a 23-year-old girl who found herself bearing the burden of her family after her father's death three years ago due to the coronavirus.

After my father's passing, I found myself taking care of my family, consisting of my mother, sister Noor, and brother Abdulrahman. My mother, suffering from high blood pressure and diabetes, faces health problems that further complicate their situation. But courage and determination drive Amira forward.

I worked as a teaching assistant at the university while pursuing a master's degree in data science, and also worked as a programmer in a company. My life was going smoothly until war came and destroyed everything.

My university, workplace, and home were completely destroyed, forcing them to flee south in search of a safe haven. Now, I and my family live in tents for displaced people in Deir al-Balah, where they suffer from water shortages and the spread of diseases, posing an additional challenge, especially for my immunocompromised mother.

This is a brief about our daily suffering.

Please help me, my mother, my sister and my brother to go out to treat my mother because she suffers from widespread diseases because her immunity is weak and help us to complete our educational journey, me and my brother

🔴I recently lost my older brother Muhammad in a previous war that the world knows nothing about

I don't want to lose anyone, I want to get my family out sooner

Please help

Urgent Appeal: Help Yusuf and his Family Evacuate Gaza!🆘🆘🆘🚨🚨

Youssef birth was marked by deep feelings of compassion and sadness. He realized that something was very painful on the first day of his life, so he took the responsibility of taking the mother out on foot, who was very pregnant, to give birth to him in battle in the shadow of war.

In addition, Youssef suffers from a lack of nutrition and healthy eating, which increases his fatigue and negatively affects his color and growth. Such circumstances pose challenges that the child faces in living a normal and dignified life

🔴🔴Any donation could save the life of Youssef and his family.
