- and i'm working on trying to be more communicative. how are u guys :D
happy to announce to my loyal 18 followers that i am returning to this app. i don't know why, i just kind of fell off. there have been collabs with some musicians/public figures that have interested me since the last i posted, and i'm just missing this app. so hi :)
Like I am to this app for the first time in 3 months. Life is pretty shitty, I’ve taken a break from doing a lot of the things I love, but I think I’m emerging from my cocoon of depression like a disheveled, sad butterfly. I’ve slowly come back to:
- playing basketball (poorly)
- songwriting (effectively, with lots of shitty life experience to write about)
- making weird summer playlists (linked)
it feels so empowering to walk around wearing ethnic clothes in a ‘modern’ city where the standard fashion is deeply influenced by the west. i will always love u, sarees <3 also, this is my mum’s saree, and many sarees are heirlooms passed down in the family. it’s quite literally, wearing your culture, carrying the stories of your ancestors with you! maybe this is why i like thrifted clothes lol
hi everyone, in light of the atrocities in Palestine, i’ve been trying to do what i can to help. i am a digital illustrator (i do concept art, character design and other work) and i’ve been taking art commissions to help donate to a family in Gaza. a 100% of whatever i earn from the commissions goes to my friend Ahmed and his family. ArtvsHate is a campaign i started back in 2020, to help people in India whose homes had been damaged in riots. this is the Palestinian edition of the same. through this campaign, i have been able to donate €100 to Ahmed and his family, but it doesn’t even come close to what they need to survive. if you’re interested in commissioning me, and donating to an extremely important cause, please see the link to my instagram post about what kinds of art you can commission me to make. Indian nationals can pay me and i’ll send the money in batches via Ahmed’s gofundme. people from other countries can donate and send me a screenshot of their payment! if you just want to donate, i will comment the link to Ahmed’s gofundme as well! we must do our part in helping the oppressed; we must do our part in helping Palestine 🇵🇸
