Plushie Fundraiser For Gaza

Hi everyone. The situation in Gaza is getting worse by the day and donations are desperately needed. With that in mind, I'm going to be offering handmade and commission plushies to help raise funds.

What I'm making

- For Star Wars fans

I have several patterns already for smaller star wars creatures, including for tookas, varactyls, banthas and more! All of these are available as larger plushies, as well as wampas and rancors, plus some droids like BD1. If there's another star wars critter you'd like that's not listed, I would happily draw up a pattern and make them!

(Please excuse the quality of photos)

- For animal and dinosaur fans

I have plenty of patterns for a wide range of animals and dinosaurs and would be happy to make any of these; again if I don't have a pattern I will happily draw one up for you!

I can also supersize any pattern for giant plushies!

What you need to do

-Contact me if you're interested so we can discuss fabrics, colours and size

-Make a donation to UNRWA, PCRF or one of the verified family fundraisers. Send me a receipt of your donation and I will send back confirmation that I've begun working on your commission

- All donations are welcome and seriously needed, but in order to make this fundraiser viable I'm asking for $25 donation for small plush, $45 for large plush and $70 for giant plush. Donate over $100 and within reason I'll make whatever you want!

- If you want to tip me for postage that would be greatly appreciated! Otherwise, if posting a plush to you is not an option, I'll happily send you the pattern for a $10 donation

Please help reblog this post so it can reach as many people as possible

Please help people in Gaza and if you have any questions let me know!

Update (15/02/24): $45 donated!!!

Update (16/02/24): we're at $70!

Update (19/02/24): we're at $100! Thank you everyone!

Update (06/05/24) the fundraiser is on hold for now

going down a non bat superhero tag be like: Batman post, Batman post, Batman post that explicitly belittles the tagged superhero, more disrespect, post that doesn’t even mention the tag but says justice league in it, GOOD POST, good analysis but somehow still about Batman, ship art with Batman, post that has nothing to do with the tag or the fandom, the most incorrect take you’ve ever heard, more disrespect, take based on a spin-off animated show that hated he character, GOOD ART, just a genuinely confusing take, Batman post, Batman post, Batman post.

need everyone to fully understand how real this is

To further prove this point, this is first page of the Lois Lane tag, sorted by Top, so what Tumblr considers the most popular posts in the tag; note that I usually do not have batfam tags filtered but did so as an example here:

Notice how the top 3 posts are about Batman? that there's a post that's gifs of the Batman movie and one of Clark from the trailer and no Lois, that wasn't tagged with Batman or Bruce Wayne to filter it out? That the number of posts with Batman in them outnumber the posts that don't have him in them?

This has been especially dire in the Clark Kent tag lately, since at least half of the discussion around the Superman 2025 trailer has been about how to shoehorn Batman in. Again, this is the top page of the Clark Kent tag:

two entire posts that are not about Batman! wow! such riches!

Eid is tough for Umm Muhammad, tough enough to remember the morning of a year ago when she used to gather around the breakfast table with feseekh and lots of fun and laughter with four of her sons: “Ahmed,” a doctor who was killed while treating the wounded; “Salah,” a policeman who was killed at his door; “Amjad,” as he was returning home with bread; and “Ibrahim,” as he was returning from the south. The mother remembers the story of five young men who died one after the other, within days of each other: “Every two days they would bring me news of one of them until they were finished.” She gathered them all in one grave with their father.

Palestinian photographer Mahmoud Mana documented 2,500 weddings from 1960-1990. "The images illustrate and document aspects of tradition, society, family, gender, and queerness and tell stories of a changing society." - Raya Manaa, daughter & founder of Al-Ameen Archive Project.

🎄 Happy new year 🎄 The cruelty and genocide in Gaza spoil the joy of Christmas. My family and I are struggling to live and avoid death on many levels, not just through bombing or the use of lethal weapons. With the onset of winter, living in the open or in tents has become a difficult challenge for us after the bombing destroyed our homes. In the absence of medical and treatment facilities, our suffering in the camps doubles to the point of despair of the possibility of life. These are scenes we see daily on television screens, but their aggravation has turned them into ordinary scenes that do not stir feelings. Therefore, the bombing continues without stopping, and the occupation forces do not find themselves required to stop their practices. Scenes that no longer stir human feelings, especially among politicians who consider them “necessary damages of war.” We hope that the human conscience will awaken from its slumber and rise up for the sake of the hungry in Gaza, and for the lives that are lost daily in the homes and tents that Israeli aircraft destroy without conscience. In the atmosphere of the birth of Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, the leaders and peoples of the West should follow his approach, which is characterized by love, mercy, and providing assistance without expectation, and in this spirit.

This campaign is vetted

It is vetted through association, which I found out through this post by @/dlxxv-vetted-donations

To summarise, @/mohiy-gaza (who was vetted by a reblog from @/90-ghost) confirmed that Asmaa is his sister.

(I am not a vetter, I am just passing on the information I have found)

[Hossam in November 2024 : Tonight, I was deliberately targeted by Israeli forces. After receiving word of a nearby bombing, I jumped into my car to report . Upon arriving at the house packed with terrified people, I could hear their desperate screams for help from the second floor. The moment I stepped inside, the house was bombed again, and dismembered body parts of the wounded flew around me. Rubble crashed down on me and my colleagues; One first responder was killed, and while my colleague and I were injured, many others did not survive.]

How long?!

Displacement after displacement, where do we go?

How long will things remain like this?

Hasn't the occupying usurper had enough of displacing, starving and humiliating us?

Please help us survive this brutal genocide.😭

We have to evacuate immediately.

Help us survive 💔Every donation, no matter how small, helps us 🙏🙏🙏

Otherwise known as glacier blood, watermelon snow is found worldwide in mountains and polar regions. The pink-red snow has a faintly fruity smell but is reported to have laxative effects if eaten.
The watermelon colour comes from freshwater green algae called chlamydomonas nivalis. In summer, the algae produce a red pigment to protect themselves from the Sun’s intense rays.
