award-winning palestinian children's illustrator baraa awoor writes:
"what use is it to be an illustrator of children's books when the world has sentenced the children of your country to the death penalty, to vanish, to genocide?"
some of baraa's illustrations:
this is an illustration for youssef, whose mother is remembered running desperately into the hospital asking if anyone had seen a "small white boy with beautiful curly hair, his name is youssef," a description which was remembered by millions when she finally identified his body:
this illustration is for young omar, who was hugging his little brother and teaching him how to repeat the shahada after him (a prayer spoken by muslims before their death) as he lay on his hospital bed:
"we want a new year that doesn't kill us or our children, we want it a year without blood, without screaming, without pain, we want a new attempt to get our lives back, or something that resembled our life, even if life is a lie we still cling to it, return life to usβa new year's card unlike any other year:"
I was visualizing while using my summertime incense, and I decided to dedicate a playlist to my WR and a Pinterest board, so I thought I'd share it with you guys :D
The vibes are very calm, old money summer, marketplace stroll, walking through the forest, cuddling with animals, cooking in the morning, -late-night campfires, etc if that makes sense
Here is the playlist link (It's on YouTube): https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLm8TRbEpaDVDgBN10VZZuJrL8crYHIQtj&si=O7X8chPu2K7XrLaY
and this is the Pinterest board! : https://pin.it/3ZAFoxZBH
I like making visuals and using music to manifest, so this was a blast to make :>
I also decided to make a lil backstory to my WR, I've never done that before so this is new and fun! I wanna script in my CR s/o since I don't want to be entirely alone there, plus cute dates in a fantasy reality? please!!
anyways I hope you guys like these if you see them
Okay then, bye-bye!!
Hello, you who love helping people and loving goodness, you are entering the year 2025 with roses and we are entering it with bombs, wars, death and famine. Dear, please donate to me and help me to buy medicine, food and milk for my children and my family. Help me with a donation and I hope that the new year will be full of happiness and love for you. I swear to you that I did not lie to you and that I I am honest in every word I say. Please do not let me down. We die every day. I do not want my children to die in front of me. I am hungry and I will make them and my family thank you for your help. I hope you will not go out unless you have donated to me so that the New Year will return to you with all love and happiness and the fulfillment of your desires. Please, please, my friend, I beg you.ππ»πππ»ππ₯Ίππ»π₯Ήππ»
sending love, hope, and prayers to you and your family πποΈβ€οΈ
Hello, I am Heba Al-Anqar, 21 years old, a university student. My university was suspended due to the war. I am writing about my family: my father Bakr (54 years old), my mother Alaa (46 years old), and my sisters Aya (18 years old), Amal (15 years old), Muhammad (13 years old), and Maryam (8 years old). We have faced many challenges in this war, from the destruction of our home to the famine we continue to suffer in northern Gaza.
My father suffers from heart problems. He had open-heart surgery when he was 36 years old. He also suffers from cartilage problems. He had his pelvic joint replaced about two years ago, in addition to other health problems. He cannot work due to his health condition.
My mother also suffers from asthma and shortness of breath, in addition to the difficulty of obtaining treatment due to the conditions and the war.
This is our house, which was destroyed by war
We have become homeless in places of refuge, in addition to the difficulty of obtaining medicine, food, and daily expenses
I created this account to request your help in this difficult ordeal by donating to meet the necessary needs, as we were relying on social assistance before the war.
My goal is to help my family live in safety and provide the necessary necessities for living, as there is a high cost of living and difficulty in obtaining necessities. We ask for your help in leaving the Gaza Strip to save my familyβs life. The cost of travel is $5,000 per adult and $2,500 per child, in addition to travel and accommodation expenses of $500 per month.
Together, we can support Heba and her family through this ordeal. Your donation, no matter how big, can make a difference in my family's life to get life and start a new life
If you are looking to support Heba and her family, please consider providing assistance directly or through relevant charitable organizations.
I hope this message finds you and your family in good health. My name is Moataz from Gaza.π I am reaching out to seek your urgent help in spreading the word about our fundraising campaign. I lost both my home and my school, my parents lost their jobs too, due to the ongoing genocide in Gaza and we are facing catastrophic living conditions.π
I donβt have money to donate but I will share this to hopefully boost your campaign, take care and we send hope, love, and prayers to you and your loved ones π«Άβ€οΈ
Would yall be interested in my OC loop that I created??? Itβs based off of real people so Iβd be using fake names for them (anonymity just for safety purposes) but I made a ton of lore for it and honestly need to spew my guts out somewhere since my friends IRL donβt read MPHFPC or have much interest in it (besides my bestie, thank the birds for her ππ)
so uh yea! Lmk if you wanna hear about it :>
(OH ALSO I SHIFT THERE)

The bros get chased by Zach and his Zachbots and end up jumping off a cliff while activating peregrine falcon powers.
I do not usually like to discuss politics as I find that there is far too much negativity, and I feel as though Iβm not as educated enough to properly discuss this topic, but I feel the need to speak out on this.
as we know, Trump was elected and beat Harris in the presidential race.
today there is uncertainty in America. We are at a standstill. There is no telling what horrors await for us, yet we must stand together and be strong
I want to send my support, love, and prayers to all who will be affected by this horrible event.
My friends and I have decided to take today as a day of silence, to silently protest, but also to mourn the past and future of what our lives will become.
if you wish to join in our day of silence, we gladly support.
Stay safe everyone, take care of one another, love each other as I love you, and keep faith that this too shall pass
