Gazafunds actually deals with this anxiety and makes a decision for you if you want. Their home page has a spotlighted fundraiser and the code consider things like how close the gfm is to finishing, when the most recent donation is, etc. So it's randomized to help as many people as possible.

There's also @helpgazachildren which if you donate, you can help multiple people at once since it's a whole mutual aid fund, or at least close to it. Hussam distributes money to people who need it when he's asked.

Yahaha!! ✨ You found me!! 🌿 🫢

June 2023. Fun fact about me. I am absolutely bonkers for koroks. I love them. And I made a lot of fun things with them for my first convention in 2023, including stickers, tote bags, and wooden dangle charms, complete with a seed poop!!!! 🥰 When I am able to set up a shop for these things I will thoroughly announce it here. (It's just a little daunting, haha)

While I only dabbled around briefly in BOTW (mostly blowing up fish) I've been playing TOTK pretty dutifully, it's super fun!!! 🥹 I have 2/4 the temples finished and I'm taking my sweet time and enjoying it for the open world it is.

I've been wanting to make more LOZ fanart for ages, so look forward to more of that!

Forbidden Colors, 1988 In this work comprised of monochromes, Felix Gonzalez-Torres employs the power and poetry of abstraction to stake a position in the arena of public discourse, while holding space for the innumerable and unnamed ways that human beings overpopulate the labels we take up as our politicized selves. In an excerpt from a text that lays out his approach, the artist writes:

This work is about my exclusion from the circle of power where social and cultural values are elaborated and about my rejection of the imposed and established order. It is a fact people are discriminated against for being HIV positive. It is a fact the majority of the Nazi industrialists retained their wealth after war. It is a fact the night belongs to Michelob and Coke is real. It is a fact the color of your skin matters. It is a fact Crazy Eddie’s prices are insane. It is a fact that four colors red, black, green and white placed next to each other in any form are strictly forbidden by the Israeli army in the occupied Palestinian territories [this ban was lifted in 1993]. This color combination can cause an arrest, a beating, a curfew, a shooting, or a news photograph. Yet it is a fact that these forbidden colors, presented as a solitary act of consciousness here in SoHo, will not precipitate a similar reaction.

In 1993, the ban on colors Gonzalez-Torres describes was lifted. On January 8, 2023, it was reinstated. Through the work’s seemingly quiet strength and reserve, the artist considers how those in power can perpetrate grave injustice against so many people without public outrage. Gonzalez-Torres shows us that solidarity emerges with a person’s recognition that the prevailing conditions are harmful to them in the same way that another person has already grappled with these realities in their life.
