hi everyone, i've been speaking to my friend reem (@danashehab) and she has told me of her difficulties in reaching her fundraising goal to evacuate herself and her family from gaza. her messages break my heart, and i want nothing more than to help her achieve her dream.
before october 7th, reem, her husband, and their five beautiful children, the youngest of which is less than 2 years old, lived in the north of gaza. her husband, fahed, owned a gym which served as their family's source of income.
however, they have since been displaced numerous times after the destruction of their home and fahed's gym. reem's children suffer from the anxiety and terror of growing up in genocide, and reem suffers from the uncertainty of their situation, unsure of what to do or say to give her children hope; this is only made worse by the fact that their campaign has been moving at a snail's pace as of recently.
if you're able, please donate whatever you're able to help reem and her family. reem's endless love for her family and her children are palpable in every message i receive for her, and it is clear that everything she does is for them. as of july 30th, €27,420 / €50,000 has been raised, which is just over half of their goal. if you're unable to donate, please reblog and share to other platforms so reem's family can reach their goal as soon as possible. they deserve to live a life of peace and happiness, safe from the threat of genocide.
Saturday Songs!
Ramblings of a Lunatic by Bears in Trees
TW for discussions of suicide, ideation, and death.The video also features emeto, sickness, and severe nosebleeds.
This is one of those classic songs that takes a positive beat to some really genuinely distressing lyrics! The song sounds so uplifting while the lyrics are so depressing...
So many of my friends are suicidal. In fact, I may have lost someone recently due to it. It's been a struggle for me to accept this, especially since I don't know for sure if they're alright or... gone. Systems, in general, have such a high rate of suicidal ideation...
When I first heard this song, I focused heavily on my own ideation. The song was incredibly relatable to me, as both a writer and someone who struggles severely with depression. I believe I heard it first in the throes of some really dangerous depression, with very little sunlight keeping my vitamins up and a lot going wrong around me. I really felt the lyrics very strongly: Maybe this writer's block that I've been perceiving / Is to stop me diving deeply into my internal being. What if the universe is stopping me from doing the things I enjoy because I'll learn I was never good at it in the first place? What if I'm not worth anything?
What if these words I take the time to doll out are pointless?
...
But I know they aren't.
The key thing I think about when I listen to this song now is that... just this video alone has 154k views. One hundred fifty four thousand views. That's so many people who have listened to "the ramblings of a lunatic." There's 194 comments on this video alone, so many of them talking about how they relate.
I'm not alone. This band isn't alone. Nobody is alone in this world.
In those moments when I feel so alone -- like I will never be able to get a grip on all of this bullshit in this world -- I like to remember that there are others who are surviving with me. And lord, have we survived a lot. In the video, it seems like the characters are surviving a lot too. Everything just... reflects back to me my own trauma, my own fight to survive.
I won't pretend otherwise... things are hell. I am losing my friends slowly to the trials of an incredibly hard life. I get friends reaching out on the edge of that cliff and I know I cannot, in the end, do much but offer my words of encouragement and love. I encounter flashbacks of trauma and ramifications of abuse, and while I've made progress, I constantly feel I will never be free of those struggles.
But... I am now approaching my thirties. I am an adult. I have a fiance, a job I love, a family. I reached recovery targets this year, completely accepted a major trauma I've experienced, to the degree that something that used to trigger me severely... doesn't. And I look at my friends, the ones still here, the ones still able to fight, and I know they can do it, because haven't they done so much already? Look at where we are.
Look at how we've grown.
When I hear this song, I hear all of that hope alongside all the pain. I hear the fact that these people, struggling, aching with depression, released such a beautifully relatable song. And I think it's so important to acknowledge the rest of the album this song comes from...
To quote the band... The album is "about coming to terms with the worst parts of your personality – with the things that scare you, with the things that keep you awake at night… with the deaths of your friends, and the slow acceptance that you are deserving of love.”
You are deserving of love. It is slow to accept. But it is always, always true.
My heart goes out to all of us here who feel like our words are wasted, who feel we are not worthy, or feel we ought to simply disappear. We are still here and we can thrive. It is a hard fight, but we are all fighting together.
I hope today is a day you do not have to fight; where you can lay the sword down and not struggle simply to exist. But... if you do have to fight today... know you are not alone.
You are loved. You are not alone.

Chiyo (2024)
This unique kitty is Chiyo (@chiyopurrs )! She is a brown tabby and white cat with a very unique piebald marking pattern. I found her account a few months ago and fell in love with her unique style. Then I had the honor of creating her portrait in my signature vibrant colorful style! Her portrait was painted with acrylics on an 8x10 inch stretched canvas.

okay so I’ve seen a lot of artists,including myself, make this common mistake of coloring the palm of a hand(and the sole of a foot) as the same color as the person’s skin tone.
but in fact ,palms and soles are a different color compare to our skin
this is due to the lack of Melanin on them
hope this helps!
