Giving to those who are truly in need

=ImaRawkStar:iconImaRawkStar: reports, December 23
This is the time of year of which we all get tangled up in our own troubles and do not focus on some of the real issues of the world. Well, heifer.org can help us with this, by giving animals to families who are truly in need of food, shelter and security.

By donating a small sum of money, such as ten to twenty dollars, you could provide a family with an animal such as a cow, which could produce milk for the family, for food and cooking. With the extra milk it produces, the family can go to the local market and sell the milk to gain more money, which could go towards food and shelter. Over time, the family will start to gain an income and will be able to earn an education.

With the education, they can receive a steady job and produce a stable income for the family to survive. Just by donating a small sum of money, you could not change one life, but many around them. But this is not just it, the family MUST produce offspring to give to another family, which will do the same thing as the family before. Over time, the community will grow and sooner or later, the impoverished areas will start to gain strength.


Even if you can not donate any money, please donate a few seconds or minutes by adding a favorite to this article and sending it on to other deviants around deviantart. It would be really awesome if we could get some support on this, and maybe as an art community we can pull together to help others in need! I know it can be done!

When did we start hating everything?

When did it suddenly become cool to hate everything? It's a growing problem, especially in the entertainment world, and no one benefits from an increasingly hard to please, pessimistic audience.

SAAM Sexual Assault Awareness Month, April

=crystalofchaos:iconcrystalofchaos: reports, 1d 8h ago
Rape is not just a crime, it is a heinous and personal invasion on the most intimate of levels. Rape destroys lives and belittles its victims. End the silence, conquer fear, and speak up. We need to raise awareness and help prevent this inhumane crime.

If you're giving away adoptable characters...

=Queen-of-Randomness:iconQueen-of-Randomness: reports, April 8
:please: If you're giving away adoptables(be it a horse/wolf/lion/potato adoptable) whether by "freebie" or by "sales", do us all a favor:

If you create a design that you want to keep for yourself, PLEASE DO NOT PUT THAT ADOPTABLE ON THE ADOPTION PAGE WITH ALL OF THE OTHERS. :frustrated:

:bulletyellow: This isn't directed at anyone in particular, really. :| This is just a trend I've noticed over time and I feel it needs to be addressed, or at least taken note of, by the deviant community.

:bulletyellow: I'm aware that all of us have the potential to create memorable character designs, and we're all free to display them. I am just concerned about the fact that, if you don't want to adopt that particular character (and its design) out to another deviant, please refrain from posting it with the other adoptable characters.

:bulletyellow: I hope I'm not the only one that's noticed this. I don't mean to offend anyone when I state this plea. It was just a thought I wanted to express to the public for future consideration.

Thank you. :thanks:

~Lessa, aka the =Queen-of-Randomness

<Hork-Bajir, come on out,> I said firmly. Slowly the big creature crawled out. He stood erect, blinking in the dim evening light.

"Not Hork-Bajir," he said. "Jara Hamee. My name. Jara Hamee."
:icontotalrandomness:
hehe I've noticed that too :P "these are all free to anyone who wants them, except no. 5 because I've fallen in love with his design and want to keep him myself"
blah :P
