I am Imonje, I had been diagnosed with Latent Autoimmune Diabetes at a tender age, a condition that demanded a delicate balance of insulin, a commodity scarce in Khan Yunis, Gaza.
As conflict raged around me, have struggled to find the insulin I desperately needed to survive. With medical supplies scarce and hospitals overwhelmed, obtaining medication became a daily battle fraught with danger.
One day, as the bombs fell closer to Gaza tents, my insulin supply ran out completely. With no pharmacies open and no aid reaching my area, I faced a life-threatening dilemma. Without insulin, my blood sugar levels soared, threatening to send me into a coma. I I'm here begging for your support to help me get insulin. Every donation, no matter the size, will make a meaningful impact in my life. I sincerely appreciate your consideration and am grateful for any support you can extend during this challenging time.
I have managed to receive $217/$365. Kindly help me reach my goal please đź–¤
CONSIDER DONATING TO IMONJE GET INSULIN TO CONTROL BLOOD SUGAR(PAYPAL)
Hello, I got an ask from the account @/ magicalbirddinosaur who claims to be a diabetic Palestinian. They only have a paypal listed, and I'm pretty sure you've debunked accounts very similar to this. I get bad vibes from the ask, but I figure it's better to check first
Scam. Their paypal name "Taheera Abdala" is already on the scam list. But just for good measure, here's some other proof they're a scam:
They claim to be "vetted and verified by 90s-ghost" but there is no evidence of this, and 90s-ghost has not reblogged from them or verbally confirmed them to be legitimate at all. Scammers were already lying about being vetted, but now they're lying by name dropping random Palestinian users doing the vetting, so let that be a reminder to check to see if a blogs claim of being vetted is true and corroborated by who they claim "vetted" them. If you see nothing, and this blog provides no evidence of their claim, assume it's not true.
Additionally, their @ of 90s-ghost doesn't link to his blog, which means either A) he's already blocked them or vice versa & so he can't confirm or deny if he's actually vetted them or not, and/or B) they made sure the link didn't properly work so that he won't see it again, so that he can't confirm or deny if this random person has actually been vetted.
Conveniently have me blocked already despite me never interacting with them lol
Their pfp is literally from this website where they probably googled "Muslim girl face hidden" because that's the page is was listed under
Common scam story of claiming to be a diabetic Palestinian, indicating that this is probably the Kenyan scammer who keeps reusing that story
They have no gofundme but has a paypal where they're asking for money in USD, and it's in a donation pool, which scammers try to use because the other type of link where they give their @ usually shows their ACTUAL location, which would make their story implausible. There's other (logical) reasons for why genuine Palestinians might use a paypal or ask for donations in USD or might not have a gfm, but with the other signs on this blog, we can tell they wouldn't apply
Finished the flats, so now I just need to render the image.
This drawing was based off World’s Biggest Tea Party. Pinkie Pie starts crying in the book because she forgot the tea, so I decided to recreate the image but with Minty comforting her
Hehe!! Scootaloo’s lil sneaky face XD
maybe the real twinkle wish adventure was the friends we made along the way
Here's an updated cast line-up of The Grand Galloping 20s MLP AU project; one year's worth of character designing and progress.
As always, more characters to come. Trixie, Starlight Glimmer, Princess Cadance, Coco Pommel, Suri Polomare, and Rara's redesigns were created by @tulliok, Rainbow Dash's redesign (and the sneak peak below) were created by @maplewozapi.
References for Daffidazey, Baby Sunny Daze and Adult Sunny Daze plus a size chart!
Just realized they look a bit more different than I realized lol. But similar enough that they look related to me XD
Daffidazey is Sunny Daze’s mother, and as you can tell, Sunny Daze grew to be taller than her XD
💛 for two weeks, i’m opening up chibi commissions to help Gazan families escape their current hellish living conditions. These fundraisers are from people who reached out to me personally. Any amount makes a huge difference.
These are the lowest I have ever and will ever offer commissions, so please take advantage of this before July 22!

i've shared amal's gofundme (@amalashuor) several times, but i just received messages from her that broke my heart
amal is a 26 year old mother from gaza. she is an incredibly dedicated and loving mother to her year old daughter, maryam. before the war, she was studying to receive her masters degree in french language. on her instagram (@/amal_sufian97_) she shared beautiful photos of her life and family in the years before the war.
now amal, her husband, and maryam have been displaced several times and have nowhere to turn to. amal wishes to finish her degree, and both she and her husband want nothing more than a better life for their young daughter. every time i receive a message from amal, my heart is full knowing she is still alive, but it breaks for her suffering. i implore you, please donate any amount you're able to help amal and her family escape gaza. they deserve nothing less than safety, warmth, love, laughter, security, and life. as of july 6th, €1,025 / €30,000 has been raised. her campaign is also included on el-shab-hussein and nabulsi's spreadsheet of verified fundraiser (#175). if you're unable to donate, please share. i want nothing more than to give amal hope that she can provide a better life for her daughter.

Hmmm
When the tongue cannot speak and words cannot express a situation that can be described as bad, make sure you are talking about Palestine, Gaza and its people.

Learning that fans hated Applejack and called her "boring" is crazyyy to me because I genuinely, unironically believe AJ's the most complex character in the main six.
Backstory-wise, she was born into a family of famers/blue collar workers who helped found the town she lives in. She grew up a habitual liar until she had the bad habit traumatized outta her. She lost both her parents and was orphaned at a young age, having to step up as her baby sister's mother figure. She's the only person in the main gang who's experienced this level of loss and grief (A Royal Problem reveals that AJ dreams about memories of being held by her parents as a baby). She moved to Manhattan to live with her wealthy family members, only to realize she'll never fit in or be accepted, even amongst her own family. The earlier seasons imply she and her family had money problems too (In The Ticket Master, AJ wants to go to the gala to earn money to buy new farm equipment and afford hip surgery for her grandma).
Personality-wise, she's a total people-pleaser/steamroller (with an occasional savior complex) who places her self worth on her independence and usefulness for other people, causing her to become a complete workaholic. In Applebuck Season, AJ stops taking care of herself because of her obsessive responsibilities for others and becomes completely dysfunctional. In Apple Family Reunion, AJ has a tearful breakdown because in she thinks she dishonored her family and tarnished her reputation as a potential leader –– an expectation and anxiety that's directly tied to her deceased parents, as shown in the episode's ending scene. In The Last Roundup, AJ abandons her family and friends out of shame because believes she failed them by not earning 1st place in a rodeo competition. She completely spirals emotionally when she isn't able to fulfill her duties toward others. Her need to be the best manifests in intense pride and competitiveness when others challenge her. And when her pride's broken, she cowers and physically hides herself.
Moreover, it's strongly implied that AJ has a deep-seated anger. The comics explore her ranting outbursts more. EQG also obviously has AJ yelling at and insulting Rarity in a jealous fit just to hurt her feelings (with a line that I could write a whole dissection on). And I'm certain I read in a post somewhere that in a Gameloft event, AJ's negative traits are listed as anger.
Subtextually, a lot of these flaws and anxieties can be (retroactively) linked to her parents' death, forcing her to grow up too quickly to become the adult/caregiver of the family (especially after her big brother becomes semiverbal). Notice how throughout the series, she's constantly acting as the "mom friend" of the group (despite everything, she manages to be the most emotionally mature of the bunch). Notice how AJ'll switch to a quieter, calmer tone when her friends are panicking and use soothing prompts and questions to talk them through their emotions/problems; something she'd definitely pick up while raising a child. Same with her stoicism and reluctance at crying or releasing emotions (something Pinkie explicitly points out). She also had a childhood relationship with Rara (which, if you were to give a queer reading, could easy be interpreted as her first 'aha' crush), who eventually left her life. (Interestingly enough, AJ also has an angry outburst with Rara for the same exact reasons as with EQG Rarity; jealous, upset that someone else is using and changing her). It's not hard to imagine an AJ with separation anxiety stemming from her mother and childhood friend/crush leaving. I'm also not above reading into AJ's relationship with her little sister (Y'all ever think about how AB never got to know her parents, even though she shares her father's colors and her mother's curly hair?).
AJ's stubbornness is a symptom of growing up too quickly as well. Who else to play with your baby sister when your brother goes nonverbal (not to discount Big Mac's role in raising AB)? Who else to wake up in the middle of the night to care for your crying baby sister when your grandma needs her rest? When you need to be 100% all the time for your family, you tend to become hard-stuck with a sense of moral superiority. You know what's best because you have to be your best because if you're aren't your best, then everything'll inevitably fall apart and it'll be your fault. And if you don't know what's best –– if you've been wrong the whole time –– that means you haven't been your best, which means you've failed the people who rely on you, which means you can't fulfill your role in the family/society, which makes you worthless . We've seen time and time again how this compulsive need to be right for the sake of others becomes self-destructive (Apple Family Reunion, Sound of Silence, all competitions against RD). We've seen in The Last Roundup how, when no longer at her best, AJ would rather remove herself from her community than confront them because she no longer feels of use to them.
But I guess it is kinda weird that AJ has "masculine" traits and isn't interested in men at all. It's totally justified that an aggressively straight, misogynistic male fandom would characterize her as a "boring background character." /s
At the time of writing this, it's 4:46AM.
Here’s one reason why I don’t hate on any my little pony generation:
because every My Little Pony is someone’s childhood my little pony.
when I was a kid, Twinkle Wish Adventure is a movie I would watch on repeat for days. It was special to my soul. other people may see no value in this movie— completely fine! but back in the 2010’s, the brony hate for G3– ESPECIALLY G3.5– was horrific. I couldn’t talk positively about the My Little Pony I loved anymore without people yelling about how bad they think it is.
My nextdoor neighbor has four kids. they all love My Little Pony, too, and some of them are especially enamored with G5. Now, I am known to have my critiques with the new generation, much like many other longtime pony fans, and that’s fine! But this is THEIR My Little Pony, and it is every bit as special to them as ours was to us when we were children. Every My Little Pony is someone’s personal My Little Pony. Every My Little Pony deserves to be loved aloud.

Some of you may know that I have been supporting @iyadsobhegaza 's GFM by offering commissions in exchange for donations. Some of you may have also noticed that his GFM is no longer up. Everyone who donated to it has gotten their money refunded.
Gofundme has deleted the only source of money for a family of 10 who are suffering under active genocide with no warning.
We need to hold GFM accountable. This is completely unacceptable. Iyad's fundraiser had raised upwards of ÂŁ11k out of ÂŁ60k and they have lost all of it. They are at ground zero again. Just this morning there was a massacre near where they were staying and many people were killed. Iyad's health is still deteriorating and they have not been able to treat their family member who has contracted hepatitis. They are all exhausted. We need to get them out as soon as possible.
They have opened a PayPal through a friend in Egypt, please donate if you can and please share:
If you got a refund of your donation you made to his GFM, please consider resending it here.
Iyad's GFM had been vetted by nabulsi here. If anyone has doubts to the legitimacy of this PayPal, Iyad will be making a post announcing it soon, but Internet and electricity are currently very hard to come by in Gaza so he has asked me to announce it for him first.
I AM STILL OFFERING COMMISSIONS IF YOU DONATE:
"Urgent and very dangerous, a massacre is now happening next to the place to which we were displaced."

Daffidazey reference and practice in my own style
I’m trying to incorporate aspects of the G3 style while having elements of my own style as well. I like how this turned out!
When you let your daughter do your mane in the hopes she’ll take over your beauty parlor, but she ends up growing up to become a professional surfer instead.
Sketch of Daffidazey and Sunny Daze, who are mother and daughter in my MLP G3 AU! I decided this because of their very similar colors schemes and because both of their names incorporate the word “daze” in some manner.
I’m not sure what their relationship is yet, other than that Daffi worries a lot for Sunny Daze sometimes, because being a surfer is not without its dangers.
