Sinking : striving to stay afloat

I was under the impression that the plot would be something like “The humans are finally gone, good riddance, now let’s create a new cool world for pokemon only”. I was NOT prepared to witness these poor sweet innocent creatures doing everything to bring humans back and missing their human partners and not being able to comprehend what happened and why humans left them behind. I was not prepared to cry this much over a pokemon game.

Also sometimes the game accidentally lets me kiss my poor babies gently on the forehead.

My name is Abdulmajid.

I got married one month before the war. Those were beautiful days — full of hope, love, and simple dreams. I dreamed of a small home, a quiet family, and a baby girl I could hold without fear.

But the war came… Suddenly. Brutally.

My mother was killed. My brother was killed. Children in my family were taken by the bombs. My home was destroyed. And my work stopped completely.

Then… in the middle of this nightmare, my baby girl was born. A tiny soul, innocent, unaware of the war. She cries from hunger, from cold, from the sounds of bombs shaking what’s left of our walls.

Today, I’m a father with almost nothing… Fighting every day to find flour, milk, or even a small meal to feed my child.

Prices are sky-high — a single 25kg bag of flour can cost $800. There is no work. No income. No safety. No stability.

I write this from under siege, hoping my heart will reach yours.

Even $1 can make a difference. It can feed a child, buy milk, or bring a moment of peace. Be the heart that reaches Gaza. Be the hand that saves.

📌 Please share this post. Let our voices be heard — not buried under rubble.

Fourth World 2026 Calendar - Interest Check

Hello all! You may have already heard murmurings about a calendar project, and I’m pleased to announce that we’re getting it off the ground! But first we need to gather a bit more information, so here’s our official interest check. No obligation to join, but if this seems like something you might be into, let us know!

Click Here!

The interest check is open through April 25th

A little extra info

The calendar will be a standard hanging wall calendar with art on the top flap and a date grid on the bottom flap. 

As this is a calendar for 2026 and the project is quite small, we are only looking for artist contributors who will be available to work on pieces from late May through July so that we can get these printed and shipped well before 2025 ends.
