🌍✨ A Voice from Gaza: Fighting for Hope ❤️‍🩹

Hi, my name is Mosab , and I’m from Gaza. Life here has been harder than I could ever imagine, but today I’m sharing my story with hope in my heart, because your kindness has already given us so much strength.

This journey hasn’t been easy. The war has taken 25 family members from us—25 beautiful souls we loved deeply. Their laughter, their presence, their love… all of it is gone, leaving behind memories that are both precious and painful. Every day, I carry the weight of their loss, but I also carry their spirit, which gives me the strength to keep going.

Our Journey So Far

When I first reached out, I couldn’t have imagined we’d make it this far. Your support has been a light in these difficult times, and we are so deeply grateful for every single contribution.

But the road ahead is still challenging. Every day, we’re reminded of how much we’ve lost and how much we still need to rebuild.

Here’s what life in Gaza looks like for my family right now:

🏠 Safety: The uncertainty of tomorrow weighs heavily on us.

😢 Loss: The absence of the 25 family members we’ve lost is a pain we carry every moment.

💔 Dreams on Hold: The future feels so far away when survival takes all our strength.

How You Can Help Us Cross the Finish Line Even the smallest act of kindness can make a difference:

$5 may seem small, but for us, it’s a little relief, a moment of comfort, and a reminder that kindness still exists. ❤️

Why Your Support Matters Your kindness isn’t just about helping us meet our goal—it’s about reminding us that we’re not alone in this fight. It’s about hope. It’s about survival. And it’s about giving my family a chance to rebuild our lives, even in the face of unimaginable loss.

Thank you for helping us get this far. Your generosity and compassion have already brought us closer to a better tomorrow, and for that, I’m endlessly grateful.

With all my love and gratitude,

Mosab and Family ❤️

OMG, a manananggal would be such a cool monster for a horror movie! The idea of a monster that can split itself in half in order to hunt is so amazing and incredibly creepy at the same time! The doll looks really pretty too! I love her wings and the flowers in her hair. Do you know and specific stories about manananggals, BTW? Just asking because I love folklore and mythology and this looks so awesome!

too many ppl who know nothing about Filipino folklore n culture r talking shit about my ate. she’s based off of the manananggal, which you can compare to the European vampire, if that helps you understand it better. although, i’m reluctant to mention that becuz some ppl, who choose to be ignorant, currently hold the view that she’s just an Asian-colored vampire mishmash monster. she is not. other than the fact that she manages to exist at all, here are some details i appreciate about her.

first, she has a face that looks like my family’s. that’s my lola’s nose. that’s my mom’s birthmark. shit, those are my uncle’s cheekbones. the headpiece features jasmine, our national flower. the translucent petals are cool.

second, you can display her in two pieces, split by the torso. its not just a “cheap gimmick” you ignorant pos. at nightfall, the manananggal severs itself in two, leaving behind a vulnerable lower half while its upper half hunts for nourishment - blood, raw hearts, livers, fetuses. the red fringe represents her dangling intestines, hanging loose as she flies after ripping her body apart. the string detail is on the skirt for consistency, but also, intestines are long as fuck? why wouldn’t they also hang from the bottom, assuming they also get split in half.

while we’re on the outfit, the top is an extremely traditional (Spanish colonial, ugh) style in both fabric and shape. i have attire that looks exactly like it, minus the monster high red foil pattern. the tiny, “woven” sleeve cuffs are a nice touch. the earrings and bracelets look to be woven palm too, but aren’t as effective in plastic. the bottom half skirt is quite a bit shorter than is traditional, and the heels higher. it’s a monster high doll.

most accurate would be barefoot, tbh. but you guys would riot, and again, its a doll. actually, the shoes reference a lot from Filipino culture. the heel is a coconut tree overlooking a kubo, a one-room stilt hut built with natural materials such as bamboo and palm, and specifically made to be remade as necessary. the sole is “wooden”, also an accessible material of which some shoes were made with. it is attached by braid to what looks to be a straw strap. also not unusual for a shoe.

her fan and wings feature embroidery, and if you look closely at the latter, you will see a thin and delicate flora design in between the spider web pattern. this is extremely reminiscent of calado, a type of traditional hand embroidery akin to lace that is difficult as fuck. a dying art, btw.

i didn’t wake up looking to ride this hard for a plastic woman lmao. but if you’re gonna come for her, it better be because of the fluorescent green in her colorway and not because you don’t know what you’re talking about. honestly, a lot of Filipinos are just happy to be considered and celebrated. “wins” like this mean everything. maybe it’s not good enough for your collection, but now you know more about my culture than you would’ve gone out of your way to. and that’s good enough for me.

I don't just SUPPORT asexuals, I AM one! Everyone is welcome!

JUST LET ME BE.

Happy World Radio Day!

Hello, puffins! Snugglepuff here! Happy World Radio Day! I drew this for my dad because he's a presenter on a radio station called 88.6 Plenty Valley FM! (They have a website, BTW! Link at the end of this post!) They're a relatively small station that mostly covers local news, but if you like retro music, their station plays a lot of it! If that sounds like fun, go check 'em out! Here's the link to their website!

Hi

Hello, how are you? I'm Reem, 25 years old, from the besieged and exhausted Gaza Strip, where there is no life, not even for animals. We die of hunger every day. We have nothing to eat. The prices of vegetables and food are very high, and we can't even buy a bag of flour, my friend. My family, my little sisters and I live in a tent that doesn't protect us from the heat or cold of winter. Please help us reach safety. Me and my family. 25euros is enough to save the life of an entire family, or even a small amount. We eat dry bread and expired canned food. Help me. My mother has diabetes and I must provide her with food. Please, my friend, help me reach safety. This is the verification number. 🙏💔💔✅️Verified by @gazavetters, my number on the list is (#561)✅️

I'm very sorry, but I can't donate. I've got your link here, though!

⚠️Important Post⚠️

Hey puffins. Now, I don't usually post serious stuff on here (and I will probably return to your regularly scheduled silliness right after posting this), but I heard what's going on in America right now on the radio and felt like I had to post something about it. I'm not trans, nor is anyone I know (to my knowledge), and I am not American, but as a member of the human race and future medical professional, I find it absolutely horrible that people who just want to be who they want to be are having the right to the medical care they seek in order to feel comfortable in their own skin taken from them. Trans friends in America, please, for the love of all the universe, stay strong. I have no power over you or anything that happens in your country, but please know that I support you and believe that you should have as much right to transition as I do to become a paramedic one day. And hey, if it makes you feel any better...

There's always room in the TARDIS for all of you. ❤️

POLL: What's the first thing that comes to mind when you hear this?

Just want to see what people think. (Also, I'm so sorry for being so inactive, puffins! I've been busy with school and stuff. I'm going to try and post more, though!)
