let me sing forevermore

I’m reaching out with a heavy heart but a hopeful spirit. My name is Mahmoud, a 17-year-old from Gaza, where life has taken a devastating turn. The war has left my city in ruins, shattering dreams and hopes along the way.

But I’m not giving up. I have a chance to continue my education abroad, away from the destruction, and I need your help to make it happen. This isn’t just about me; it’s about my family, my future, and the resilience of a community that refuses to be defeated.

I’m trying to raise 15000$ CAD to cover the costs of relocating and living expenses. Every donation, every share, brings me closer to a future where I can thrive and eventually give back to those I’ve left behind.

Please consider supporting my journey. Together, we can build something beautiful out of the rubble.

Thank you for your kindness and generosity. ❤️

Bill: I’m not some evil mastermind! There’s no great plot at hand here! (Just world domination and possibly the destruction of all you love)

Jolene *taking notes*: And that’s a hill you’re willing to die on?

Bill: Someone sure will😃

Jolene: What’s that?

Bill: I said you’re gonna die on this hill😃

Just thought I’d post here and remind you that my portrait commissions are open!

Send an email to [email protected] with ‘commission’ in the subject line so I can find it easily!

Currently no limits on spots but I doubt I’ll keep it open past 20 total! Feel free to send a dm or email if you have any questions! :>

The Animation Guild has been in negotiations with the AMPT (studios) to get better protections against AI, better pay, fewer layoffs, and generally more respect as an industry. To raise awareness, Animation Workers Ignited (not officially affiliated with TAG but a community-run account made to build support and organize) have been releasing animated PSAs starring Adam Conover (Adam Ruins Everything) as a fast-talking, suited-up organizer and Alex Hirsch (Gravity Falls) as a green-shirted, scared audience stand-in.

Sometime last night, Alex Hirsch and the director of the shorts shared exchange in the comments of their most recent PSA on twitter:

Which led to:

And finally, the art that kicked this whole thing off:

So, because this is the animation industry, everyone immediately jumped onto the new ship and started drawing fanart for it, ranging from silly doodles to full art pieces

AWI themselves are fully supportive of this and see it as a great way to spread awareness and get people to engage with the union. Even the Canadian Animation Guild posted about it. We are genuinely helping their cause by posting yaoi art. This is a good thing. Great, even.
