VIDEO TRANSCRIPT:
Jasmine: Hi. You're gonna want to hear this.
Omnia: Hello, everyone. I'm here to deliver the worst news of my life. There has been a report talking about how, by September, it is estimated that 2.5 million people in Sudan are going to die, due to hunger and malnutrition and sickness. And you can probably understand that we as the Sudanese people feel very helpless, as we cannot do anything to change the situation or the outcomes. However, it has been stated, even in the report itself, that the only way we can tackle such an issue is by supporting local initiatives and community kitchens.
Jasmine: Now that you've heard from somebody on the ground and from the experts, I'm here to tell you how you can help. In the report that Omnia mentions, they say that this 2.5 million represents 15% of the population of Darfur and Kordofan, two of the areas they believe are the worst affected by this hunger crisis.
This is where HRRDS comes in. They are a Sudanese organization working in South Kordofan, supporting some of the most vulnerable people, including raising funds to feed people across South Kordofan. You can make a one time donation. You can make a monthly donation, if you like. Whichever you choose.
If you want to help people in the Darfur area, you can donate to Sudan Solidarity Collective. They are supporting emergency response rooms and community kitchens in Darfur and across Sudan.
This hunger crisis is affecting the entire country, and especially the conflict zones, which includes Khartoum. Khartoum is the capital city/state. It includes Khartoum, Bahri and Omdurman. And Khartoum Aid Kitchen has been raising funds to support community kitchens across the state.
I urge you all-- particularly people who have been talking about, "Why isn't anybody talking about Sudan? Why isn't anybody doing anything about Sudan?"-- to engage with this, to donate. And, listen, times are tight, money is tough-- flip that over, you know what I'm talking about. If you cannot donate, then please absolutely share.
a lot of things changed, if you missed it! new engine, new UI, all sorts of new stuff! come get it

Happy new year, and Eid Mubarak
Yesterday, the Israeli army launched three raids, and the raids were so close that shrapnel from rockets fell on our tents.
Please watch the video as fragments fall on our tent and our children are screaming and crying saying that the fragments are falling on us. It is worth mentioning that the video shows part of my family members, including a disabled person with quadriplegic cerebral palsy since birth.
I personally was injured in my back in order to protect my family and children, and I was transferred to a hospital to receive treatment
Yesterday, we wrote a new life, but if other attacks occur, we may become martyrs, so if you want us to remain alive and live happily, this is in your hands by donating to us and contributing to saving an entire family consisting of 42 individuals.
The fate of our lives depends on you, so have mercy on us and our dream is to collect the money and all of us travel and live in safety
Just because an artist likes Harry Potter doesn't mean they support JK Rowling??? Its not their fault you can't separate the art from the artist.
because it's still giving the piece of media a platform. even if you pirate it. even if you disagree with it. I genuinely don't see any good, positive reason that can come from continuing to indulge and participate in the fandom publicly. Like, fine, whatever, if you're gonna read it in the privacy of your own home with nuance and critical thinking, I can't stop you. But posting about it online and engaging with it isn't helpful. It's just giving it more attention. Literally just read another book. I understand nostalgia and childhood hyperfixations and whatnot. But I have such little sympathy for the people that cling so so desperately to the problematic wizard books. There are other things out there! Just find something else!!!
You know what movie I really loved as a kid?? The Don Bluth Thumbelina movie. I rented it from blockbuster week after week after week. I love clowns, and I love frogs, so the fact that there's a frog character dressed as a clown would be totally up my alley, right? Well!!! He's a pretty racist caricature actually!! And the thing is, it's actually really really easy for me, even with my love of clowns and frogs, to actively avoid speaking positively about this character. There will be other frog clowns that aren't racist. I got over it. It's not that hard.

Here’s my sketch to pixel art of my (now paused, leaf-babes-and-awkward-book-nerd-and-fashionable-gamer-lesbians indie game 🍁
This is my main character Leafette. So far I have her as Black, trans, loves books and sweaters. Lol that’s it. I was making this game, but I wayyy over-scoped at my current level of game development, so this game is on the shelf for a bit longer. Might try to make a basic demo by late 2023 for a cozy little fall game 🍂
Here’s my 2021 blog post if you wanna hear about my beginnings for this character and game! Yes pls I wanna read more about leaf lesbians blog link.

honestly i just think we all need to slow down
Allah is the Provider and He is the one who blesses the provision, and Allah is more generous than all
And you are absolutely certain that what you give to God, He will multiply it for you many times over, so do not despair, for you are working and donating for yourself and the hereafter.
Yes, we need you because we are a large family. Yes, the amount is large, but it did not arouse your feelings, and my daughter is asking for your help
Don't raise your feelings while my family lives with humiliation
It did not arouse your feelings, and my friend asks you to help us in order for us to travel as soon as possible to treat my brother in a clean hospital
