This has been happening all month with little to no international media attention. Here are a few organizations you can check out for resources or to support:

ActionAid India

SEEDS India

GlobalGiving

They tried to kill us, but they did not succeed. And we owe so much thanks to the other oppressed peoples, in particular the Choctaw Nation and the Masai, who sent money and grain to us.

Let me repeat that. The Choctaw Nation who had just gone through the Trail of Tears sent us money to try save Irish lives. It’s led to an understanding between Irish people and Native American tribes, most recently when we donated to the Navajo and Hopi fundraisers for COVID-19 relief, because while it may be a different tribe, Irish people will never forget those who helped us and we’ll help back.

The entire population of the island is less than seven million people. We’re still a million less on this island than pre famine. And it’s not that long ago. My grandmother’s grandparents lived through it. We’ve told the stories, it literally changed the DNA of the country. We have a national fear of renting, because so many people were evicted. People joke about Irish people always offering loads of food, but it’s because there’s that cultural memory of not being able to.

Open Arms Reactions on youtube is a channel that I watch weekly (and watched every work day at one point as I caught up) that's gonna end this week, and I wanted to give it a little sendoff c:

@officialmortius @imcasperfox thanks for all the fun! Best of luck on y'all's solo careers!

I have never done something to this scale, so even though I had a base to go off of, it was still something I learned a lot from as I went along. I think you can spot the moment I decided to go from 'I'll just do the key poses so at least the actions will be clear, even if they're not smooth' to 'screw it, let's go crazy, let's do this thing fame by frame!!' 😂

I have no animation program so all of these were drawn frame by frame and then put together in a video editing software. And I'm told this is a fun fact that makes people's hands hurt but- I draw everything with a mouse! (I'm ok, I make sure to do stretches. Plus I didn't do it all at once, for these 4 months ive been doing 3 frames per day, every day, save for Sundays (usually) and also on Fridays and Saturdays I'd often do more than 3 frames to ensure I'd at least have a second of animation done per week)

This was a lot of fun but WHOOF do I look forward to having time to draw other things now! Hope you enjoy! I know it'd be better quality if it was on youtube, but I'm pretty sure Disney would strike me down for the audio
