(i Will go back to everlasting haitus if that GFM slows down too much btw, seeing it to its goal ASAP is my primary focus right now)
every once in a while you just gotta go “This Reality Is Not Acceptable” and put yourself all in on one cause and not let up on it until it is done, to make sure at least one fact of that unacceptable reality, changes. at least one more tragedy avoided.
that is what i have chosen to do here.
i’ll admit i’m not especially good at drawing more realistic portraits/people, but i took a crack at it for this. in the back of mind, is the thought: i want to be able to draw a proper family portrait for them a year from now, if they’d like one, and have nobody suddenly be missing from it.
donate, boost, share the GFM yourself on any platforms you may have/on websites i’m not on, in your community servers, anywhere sympathy and action can be found. please.
as of this reblog, another good chunk of progress has been made! we still have a bit of a ways to go, but just look what we can do when all boost, share, and chip in what we can together! every little bit helps, so let’s get that last third in, tumblr!
some people have lamented only being able to “just” boost/share, vs donate, but that’s still good! that’s still help! you still get more eyes on it, and then people who can donate can even know the GFM exists, and can do so! any bit of help, is help, and i extend gratitude to you all. think we can get it done? i think we can get it done!
happy “everyone forgets that icarus also flew” monday. i want to throw up !

“But first and foremost, I learned from Whitman that the poem is a temple—or a green field—a place to enter, and in which to feel. Only in a secondary way is it an intellectual thing—an artifact, a moment of seemly and robust wordiness—wonderful as that part of it is. I learned that the poem was made not just to exist, but to speak—to be company.”

It’s a common misconception that vampirism automatically leads to bisexuality but shocking new information from the World Health Organization says that, through sheer coincidence, everyone who’s ever been turned into a vampire was already bisexual. Scientists and statisticians all over the globe are working hard to understand this absolute statistical clusterfuck. More at 11.

Congo is silently going through a silent genocide. Millions of people are being killed so that the western world can benefit from its natural resources.
More than 60% of the world’s cobalt reserves are found in Congo, used in the production of smartphones.
Western countries are providing financial military aid to invade regions filled with reserves and in the process millions are getting killed and millions homeless.
Multinational mining companies are enslaving people especially children to mine.

La República Democrática del Congo vive un genocidio silencioso. Millones de personas están siendo asesinadas para que la parte occidental del mundo pueda beneficiarse de sus recursos naturales.
Más del 60% de las reservas mundiales de cobalto se encuentran en el Congo, y se utiliza en la producción de teléfonos inteligentes.
Los países occidentales están proporcionando asistencia financiera militar para invadir regiones llenas de reservas y en el proceso millones de personas mueren y millones se quedan sin hogar.
Las empresas mineras multinacionales están esclavizando a la gente, especialmente a los niños, para trabajar en las minas.
