I know you have all probably seen the esims for gaza posts circulating. Some of you have probably looked at them and thought maybe you should help out, but have weighed up the daunting process of signing up for something you're unfamiliar with vs. the gut-wrenching scale of the things people are going through on the ground right now, and you've put it off or questioned whether it will make enough of a difference vs. some other future kind of activism you could put that $6+ towards. I'm not calling you out or scolding you, it is natural to feel conflicted and ambivalent about the multiple calls for aid that you are seeing on social media.

but consider this: what would you do if you suddenly had to leave your home? how would you cope? how would you begin to plan where to go next, or figure out what to do to take care of yourself? most likely you would reach reflexively for your phone.

telecoms access is not a petty luxury in 2024. a loaded esim means the ability to call family members and find out where they are and whether they're safe, and whether they need anything you can provide for them. it means access to maps and regular updates on the situation unfolding around you. it means you can look up whether it's safe to drink rain water, or how to tie a type of knot you've never had to think about before, or how to treat an injury without medical supplies. it means the ability to tell people outside the situation what you are seeing, what you are feeling, what you are thinking. it is an absolutely crucial resource. and it starts at $6 for 7 days.

many many people have observed that internet access is changing the way the world understands genocide. internet access is life or death, and it is shaping modern history in front of you. and it starts at $6 for 7 days.

please, please visit gazaesims.com and spend 5 minutes and $6 to change the way this plays out for everyone.

I have made my own October drawing prompt for the fun of it (mostly for my own use but it's free to use of course) (inspired by bugs and some typical Spooktober things :>)

KOSA IS GETTING FORCED THROUGH ATTACHED ARE SCRIPTS FOR EITHER A DEM OR REP SENATOR CALL NOW PLEASE

Birthday gift for the wonderful @hollypies ! I really would've done something bigger, but didn't remember it was coming up for a while and I knew I'd be busy all weekend!

Anyway. Family :)

Doodle pages with three of my OCs

ultrabright colors and gradation map my beloved

[Start ID. Three color variations of the same messy sketch on a white background. Each one depicts V1 from Ultrakill, in the same pose as the protagonist on the cover for Doom. They're standing on a pile of gore rather triumphantly and lifting a Husk with one arm, by where its collar would be. The original drawing was in bright red, yellow, and blue, and the two others are in much softer palettes, one shades of green and the other purple through yellow. End ID]

haven't drawn the bugs of fable in so long...

(feat. another rather static-y Swap AU Neo, from @professorneolith , because I still think it's a cool idea)

[Start ID. Two flat, unshaded drawings of Bug Fables characters on white backgrounds. The first is of Professor Neolith, a moth drawn in maple tones. He appears to be floating, with his legs bent and wings unused. One hand snaps, and his other palm faces the ground. He has a slight smile and seems altogether relaxed. A halo of electricity encircles him and two bolts extend from one hand. The second drawing depicts Leif, another moth, drawn in extremely bright colors. He is less relaxed, in the midst of a fight, with large spikes of ice circling around his feet. Two of his wings and his lower body splay outwards and to the left, and he is sharply bent at the waist, hunched over. One arm is raised, as though he was casting the ice magic visible below him. End ID]

Am trying to make a Wings of Fire picrew but got caught up in making a new character and designing her mom
