things have taken a really terrifying turn in sudan over the past few days. it's currently sudan action week to raise awareness to the war and the increasingly desperate situations of both sudanese citizens and refugees. some of the people to follow for updates and news about sudan on twitter (both in sudan and outside)

some of you guys view misogyny as simply men being mean to women and not a systemic hierarchical issue that prevents women from gaining liberation, support systems or a socioeconomic foothold and it shows every time you talk about “misandry”
the 10 crises the world must not look away from:
1. SUDAN
24.8 million people in need of humanitarian aid. a still-escalating war brings sudan to the top of the watchlist. fighting has more than doubled humanitarian needs in less than a year and displaced 6.6 million people- bringing the country to the brink of collapse. more people are internally displaced within sudan than in any other country on earth. in darfur, human rights groups have reported mass killings and forced displacement along ethnic lines.
2. PALESTINE
3.1 million people in need of humanitarian aid (gaza and the west bank). gaza enters 2024 as the deadliest place for civilians in the world. i*****i airstrikes and fighting have had a direct and devastating impact on civilians that will continue to grow as hostilities persist into early 2024, at least. with more than 18,700 palestinians killed, 85% of the population displaced, and over 60% of gaza's housing units destroyed, people living in gaza will struggle to recover and rebuild their lives long after the fighting ends.
3. SOUTH SUDAN
9 million people in need of humanitarian aid. the war across the border in sudan threatens to undermine south sudan's fragile economy and could add to political tensions in the run-up to the country's first-ever elections. meanwhile, an economic crisis and increased flooding have impacted families' ability to put food on the table. a predicted fifth year of flooding could also damage livelihoods and drive displacement.
4. BURKINA FASO
6.3 million people in need of humanitarian aid. as the burkinabè military struggles to contain armed groups, violence is rapidly growing and spreading across the country. roughly 50% of the country is now outside government control.
5. MYANMAR
18.6 million people in need of humanitarian aid. the conflict in myanmar has spread significantly since the military retook political power in 2021. 18.6 million people in myanmar are now in need of humanitarian assistance - nearly 19 times more than before the military takeover. myanmar has seen decades of conflict, but in oct. 2023, three major armed groups resumed clashes with the government. over 335,000 people have been newly displaced since the latest escalation began.
7. MALI
6.2 million people in need of humanitarian aid. dual security and economic crises are driving up civilian harm and humanitarian needs. conflict between the military government and armed groups will likely escalate.
8. SOMALIA
6.9 million people in need of humanitarian aid. somalia faces heightened conflict and climate risks after a record drought. more recently, widespread flooding has displaced more than 700,000 people and will likely continue into early 2024.
9. NIGER
4.5 million people in need of humanitarian aid. a coup in july 2023 triggered massive instability that risks a rapid worsening of the ongoing humanitarian crisis in the country.
10. ETHIOPIA
20 million people in need of humanitarian aid. communities across the country are facing the twin threats of multiple conflicts and the likelihood of el niño-induced flooding. the nov. 2022 ceasefire between the government of ethiopia and the tigray people's liberation front (TPLF) continues to hold in northern ethiopia, but other conflicts, particularly in the central oromia region and in amhara in the northwest, are fueling humanitarian needs and raising the risk of a return to large-scale fighting.
11. DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO
25.4 million people in need of humanitarian aid. weak state capacity has exposed many congolese to one of the world's most protracted crises, driven by conflict, economic pressures, climate shocks and persistent disease outbreaks. now, a resumed offensive by the M23 armed group is driving up conflict and humanitarian needs. the country enters 2024 with 25.4 million people in need of humanitarian assistance - more than any other country on earth. the magnitude of the crisis has strained services, created high levels of food insecurity and fueled the spread of disease.

Also got scammed by a USPS-related text
The only reason I didn't do it was because I don't remember asking for anything using USPS
I searched up the order number and asked my mom beforehand

the asian american writers’ workshop just published 16 love poems by poets of palestinian heritage that were featured in the anthology we call to the eye & the night edited by hala alyan & zeina hashem beck
Me: portraying Hamas as unreasonable and subhuman only suits to serve Israel and justify ethnic cleansing. We must deconstruct how they are portrayed and while not excusing what they’ve done, understanding them beyond the label of terrorist, which is wildly racialized and has been used to malign several freedom fighters who are working toward decolonization/liberation, is vital to understanding their political aims. What if we held the same nuance for them? Why is Israel allowed to brutalize and maim civilians but aren’t labeled terrorists? Why is colonial violence so justified that the violence from occupied people is never understood to be a necessary means of resistance. How can we challenge the narratives we hold that continuously paints a resistance group as subhuman stupid animals that must be wiped off the face of the planet. The best way to end the violence of Hamas is to end the violence of settler colonialism.
Smart people with the best reading comprehension: okay but they are terrorists though?? Do you condemn them?

[Image ID: A gifset containing four gifs of the low-poly puzzle game GNOG.
Gif 1 shows a montage of several monsterous heads that act as the game’s levels turning to face the audience.
Gif 2 shows two panning shots of level areas. One is of several brightly colored birds standing on branches. Another shot focuses on a gold chest next to a stack of gold coins.
Gif 3 shows a brightly colored level that resembles a bathroom. A second scene cuts to a close-up of the shower curtain in the level. The curtain pulls back to reveal a person sitting in the bathtub as the shower runs.
Gif 4 shows two scenes. One is of a yellow monster head turning towards the audience and opening its mouth. The second scene shows the back of the head, which resembles the inside of a sea vessel as it is being flooded with water.
