Hello 👋, I hope you're doing well..
My name is Mahmoud, and I'm a 17-year-old from Gaza. The ongoing war has devastated my city, destroyed my school, and made daily life incredibly challenging.
Despite these hardships, I'm determined to continue my education and build a better future. I've been given a chance to study abroad, but I need help to cover the costs of leaving Gaza, as well as living expenses and other essentials abroad once the crossing opens.. 🙏
If you can, please consider donating or sharing, your kindness can truly make a difference, and thanks for your time. ❤🍉

My silly art account 👆 where I shall discuss pota stuff
No one asked but i shall slowly deliver my Roaring 20’s themed Planet of the Apes (future) AU starting with one of my personal favorites, Dorothea May the Bonobo.
Bonobos by the time this AU is set, are uncredited for inspiring the flapper look which includes styling fur into a bob-cut style and shaving off most of their hair off as a reflection of their society’s view of hairlessness as a status symbol (seeing as back in the day, alpha female bonobos were typically hairless from over-grooming by subordinates). The majority of them have French surnames and were heavily isolated from the other ape species—minus Gibbons who they’ve had friendly relations with for centuries—resulting in them sometimes “Americanizing” their names when they move to the main setting of this AU, Soror, which is dominated by the other apes species.
I’ll probably go more into depth about Bonobo culture in this AU in a separate post mainly because it’s quite long and I have many thoughts 😭 also the symbol on her necklace is meant to be an ancient emblem for Bonobo beliefs that has long since been interpreted in many different ways, it is the Yerkish symbol for “hide”
For a vague idea of the AU, it’s very loosely inspired by the original POTA novel which is vaguely based on early 20th century America and the concept of flapper apes came to me so here we are. I plan on taking inspiration from the original novel, the reboot films (seeing as this is meant to be set maybe around one to two thousand years after), some bits that I genuinely enjoyed from the Tim Burton adaption of POTA, “The Humans” comic series, and unsurprisingly the Great Gatsby lmao
Tallsbian saga(so far!) in order!
HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE Let’s say it’s 6.15pm and you’re going home (alone of course), after an unusually hard day on the job. You’re really tired, upset and frustrated. Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in your chest that starts to drag out into your arm and up into your jaw. You are only about five miles from the hospital nearest your home. Unfortunately you don’t know if you’ll be able to make it that far. You have been trained in CPR, but the guy that taught the course did not tell you how to perform it on yourself..!! NOW HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE… Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack, without help, the person whose heart is beating improperly and who begins to feel faint, has only about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness. However, these victims can help themselves by coughing repeatedly and very vigorously. A deep breath should be taken before each cough, and the cough must be deep and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the chest. A breath and a cough must be repeated about every two seconds without let-up until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again. Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze the heart and keep the blood circulating. The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it regain normal rhythm. In this way, heart attack victims can perhaps buy precious time to get themselves to a phone and dial 911.

In honor of world bonobo day here are pota bonobo headcanons for my au‼️‼️
- many of the bonobos of the large bonobo colony originated from either zoos or research facilities, and the latter were fluent in yerkish.
- Sign language isn’t known by most bonobos, as they have always communicated verbally once speech was acquired by them (I imagine before this was discovered they communicated using simple gestures and drawing out yerkish symbols they could remember into the ground).
- Some of the yerkish symbols are remembered in the modern “20s era” as symbols with vague but sacred meanings.
- bonobos and gibbons are considered to be long time allies, stemming from admiration for one another in “ancient times” (aka Caesar’s time) and a shared history of discrimination and persecution by the other ape species
- It was through this close bond that allowed bonobos to also gain the difficult ability of singing far sooner than their non-bonobos counterparts
- Chimps and gorillas that originated from the San Francisco colony (more on this in a separate post the Caesar family drama goes crazy) nearly hunted their kind to extinction before they went into full isolation mode and almost seemed to “disappear” from history for many generations.
- They were found by proximus’ apes and forced into many years of servitude until his untimely death, and they again fled and went into hiding until they began something akin to “mythological creatures” until they felt safe enough to live openly a few decades before the 20s era’s.
- I like to think that the few apes that accidentally encountered often spotted them wading in the water, thus making them believe they were something equivalent to “water nymphs” and non-apes.
- Song and dance is extremely sacred to them and it’s considered a great honor to allow outsiders to join in
- Water is also a deep part of their culture, I love to imagine them being fascinated by mammals that live in/near the water such as beavers, river otters etc.
- They have a less than favorable view of Caesar due to centuries of bad history with chimpanzees and their belief that their personal martyr died as a result of Caesar’s teachings (not entirely true but no side currently knows the full story).
- Bonobos directly inspired the 20s era’s “flapper” look and lifestyle and are unfortunately uncredited for it
- Many 20s era bonobos are French speaking with French based names, this is due to their ancestors learning the language in order to further isolate themselves from other non-bonobo colonies.
- A controversial practice that died out only a few decades before they stopped hiding themselves was the breaking of young females hands in order to strengthen the bones and spirit, not realizing at the time they were in fact only weakening them.
- This practice originated from a very young Lisala’s (I’ve talked a bit about her before, she is meant to loosely pay homage to Lisa and is the martyr worshipped by bonobos) mother shattering her hands with a rock in response to her throwing a tantrum and striking her younger brother.
- A character that hasn’t been introduced to yall yet succeeded in introducing it to Soror City (Francesca Octavia; rumored to be the result of a bonobo/chimp affair and is known for being the “bridge” between the two species’ separate societies)
- Currently in the 20s era, bonobos that live in Soror City often struggle to find sustainable careers due to biases held by other apes who find them “undesirable” to have working for them. As a result many often find work in less than legal and/or socially acceptable ways, such as bushmeat hunting or working in brothels.
- Despite this, they are loved and trusted by apes of the rising queer community who are warmly welcomed by the bonobos in the city.
- Dorothea May is considered to be the first true glimpse of hope in their community, due to her breaking barriers and becoming the first adored bonobo film actress
