Sudan's representative at today's U.N. summit in response to the UAE's offer of 70 million in monetary support:

"We do not need the UAE's support, for Allah is supporting Sudan. When Sudan was supporting the [Arab] nations and their freedom movements, the UAE was not cited in history [as in it didn't yet exist] nor was it found in the world map. We know [the UAE]'s evil. [...] Sudan is richer than the UAE, and Sudan would become the richest nation in the world if the UAE would settle down. The UAE simply has to lift its hands off of Sudan. That is the first step towards Sudan's conflict settling down."

He goes on to explain that 6 UAE passports were found on RSF members in Khartoum during the civil war. The UAE has yet to answer for its support for the militias and terrorists it continues to fund that are major players in the devastation of Sudan and the genocide of Darfur.

If you're Sudanese and want to correct my translation or the context provided in brackets you are free to do so.

Happy Birthday Shireen Abu Akleh

Your legacy lives forever. You will be avenged. Your Palestine will be free.

"No sugarcoating the Palestinian cause to make it palatable for Westerners. We don’t want peace—we want freedom. We don’t want to live side-by-side, we want the settlers to leave our land. There’s no conversation to be had. The demand is clear—we want to return to our home. We don’t negotiate with terror!sts. Long live the Palestinian revolution. ✌🏼🔻🇵🇸"

Dear Tumblr family,

I would be grateful if you could please help me share this gofundme campaign to support my brother and many employees be able to stand up on their feet again and be able to financially support themselves and their families. This is a sustainable solution amid the madness that’s going on in the Gaza Strip.

The funds raised through this campaign will enable many displaced employees in Gaza to go back on track, empowering them to support themselves and their families after they have lost their homes and work in this ongoing genocide. This financial stability will not only ensure their well-being but also provide a firm foundation for their mental resilience, and the community's strength.

All the details of the campaign are included in this link. Please kindly repost and share with people who can help.

i am not joking we need to force teach cooking in schools. like. it is an essential thing for survival. do you know how easy it is to make things if you know even the bare bones shit about how cooking works. we need to teach teenagers how far you can take an onion and some other veggies it''s sad that people grow up not knowing how to prepare literally anything. and i'm not talking about oh this home ed class taught me how to make chicken nuggets at home i'm talking about learning the balancing of sweetness and acidity and saltiness and bitterness and shit like that and techniques and oil temperatures and how meats cook. it needs to be taught because it's literally not even that difficult and it matters so much

[lmaonade]

i truly believe that knowing how to cook is a basic survival concept and the fact that so many people can't even make simple dishes is depressing as hell this is the sorta thing that should be taught at a young age. being able to take the ingredients you have around your home and turn them into a meal is like, essential and will make life so much better. you don't need to be a high end chef you just need to understand some things that can be easily taught... but then again maybe the education system is playing a roll against this and ultimately they want you to grow up to rely on mcdonalds for dinner. i don't know. please learn how to cook for yourself if you're able. i'm not asking you to hunt for specific ingredients to make some expensive youtuber's "best" recipe but if you know the basics of cooking you can do a lot with cheap canned ingredients. cooking can be affordable i promise you just need to learn how to make do with what you can get

[eroticcannibal]

Can anyone point me towards resources that teach those basics cus I would LOVE to teach my child this stuff but i dont know how to cook

[loumandliker]

not comprehensive but heres some:

internet shaquille's basics but especially:

making rice

making scrambled eggs

making oatmeal

levels of cooking meat

using & storing vegetables with recipes in the description (this one has a bit of Sassiness directed at people who dont like vegetables but the content is solid)

food safety + a recipe to demonstrate

how to learn to cook (just a list of subtopics, no actual tips)

cooking techniques playlist

how to cut x

basics with babish s1 & 2, but particularly:

freezer meals,

weeknight meals,

kitchen tools (although the specific suggestions are pretty expensive even with the lower end scale items the basic categories are solid, and you can evaluate what items you will realistcially need - eg. if you dont need to read temp for steaks etc the temp reader will not be relevant) &

kitchen care (mid-high advanced home cooking)

basic knife skills

picking the right pan for each recipe

j. kenji lopez-alt's tips and tricks playlist

egg recipes

a little more complicated, involved, and longer than any of the rest of these but good breakdown of flavor & how and why to use the basic seasoning/flavor profiles

and then recipe channels representing various cuisines:

j. kenji lopez-alt (various)

marion's kitchen (southeast & east asian, western/asian fusion)

maangchi (korean)

future neighbor (mostly korean)

the western supermarket playlist of chinese cooking demystified (more recipes available but these are accessible if you dont have "specialty" ingredients)

family recipes playlist by made with lau (chinese)

not another cooking show (various)

cooking with boris (bear with me here i know he does it exaggeratedly humorously but a lot of them are actually solid and beginner cook friendly. mostly slavic/russian)

you suck at cooking (also falls into the intentionally humorous category but most of the recipes are pretty solid anyway)

how to cook that (baking, also does debunking videos of viral cooking hacks - breaks down the reasons the hacks dont work, pretty important to understand those basics imo)

internet shaquille (various)

babish culinary universe (various)

i REFUSE to recommended joshua weissman because he is fucking insufferable but if you want you can try if you can deal with it, the techniques/recipes seem fine for the most part

also disclaimer: these are channels i watch and cuisines i most often cook with (save for YSAC and boris which i just find funny) - there are tons of cuisines that are missing completely but i don’t cook with them much so i don’t really know who to rec

again definitely not a comprehensive list but it touches on most of the basics

Palestinians are currently facing genocide; 2.2 million Palestinians are starving to death and face relentless aerial bombardment every single day by the hand of Israel, a brutal apartheid genocidal state. Please do whatever you can to support them in this critical time of need.

SPREADSHEET OF PALESTINIAN ESCAPE FUNDS‼️TIME SENSITIVE

Operation Olive Branch is a continuously updating spreadsheet of Palestinian escape funds where progress towards their goals is being tracked. As of right now, there are over 100 funds listed there.

Any amount of money can make a difference. With their recent decision to bomb Rafah, the only remaining “safe” territory in Gaza, Israel has forced Palestinians into a corner by giving them nowhere else to go. The international community has given Israel the ability to act with impunity - it is long past the point in time to rely on those in power to hold Israel to any standard of compassion.

Today, I want you to look at this document, choose a fund, contribute to it, and share it. The people in Rafah are living on borrowed time. Free Palestine.

[fleshadept]

looking at (vetted) gofundmes for people trying to escape palestine and i don't know how many of you actually click on the gofundme links you reblog but i would like to point out, for what it's worth, just how amazing it is that so many have raised so much money. it may overall feel like a drop in the ocean but the fact that several gofundmes have raised tens of thousands of dollars is amazing. it is so expensive to leave gaza right now, and people still need money after they escape. but regardless of what propaganda the US, UK, canada, and other western nations are trying to pump out, people across the world are doing what they can to help these people survive. many of them are still very far from their goals (like this one and this one and this one) and some of them are very close to high goals (like this one), and some of them have reached almost double their original goal.

and that's not even addressing direct aid or organizations that take continuous donations for distribution of food, menstrual products, etc. the PCRF has raised $16,000,000 of their target goal of $20,000,000 to fund current aid and long-term relief efforts in gaza. ANERA's febuary 13th update discusses the material ways they helped palestinians today:

(ANERA donate link)

my point is, it often feels like the world is turning a blind eye to palestine. but i would like to point out that there is an important difference between "the world" and "western political leaders and media narratives". a breathtaking amount of real people, the people who make up the world, are trying to help. in the face of israel attempting to commit genocide, the world is saying No. These people deserve to live. and literally sending millions of dollars internationally, through the internet connection that israel has desperately been trying to destroy.

it may not feel like it matters in the grand scheme of things. but to the people who get fresh clothes, or a hot meal, or blankets, or the kids who get new toys, or to the people who are able to bring their families to safety, it matters to them. go make someone's day better. i've linked so many options with ways to do that.

Arknights KR server posts about their user survey. It’s been nearly a week since they wrote a statement calling the game apolitical & referred to feminism as a dividing force. These statements were written in explanation after they deleted a woman’s art because she posted about International Women’s Day 6 years ago. So far Hypergryph has remained silent regarding the Korean server’s actions.

Users are suspicious about some of the questions that include DCIncide as a main fanhub and a question about including memes after an ilbe (extremely far-right equivalent messageboard) meme was included in Arknights KR’s 3.5 anniversary. Management has come into question due to the fact that Yostar (Arknights Korea publisher) responded to complaints about the previously mentioned artists’s IWD tweets only an hour after they were posted about on Arcalive (read about it here). One user mentions how they respond to users on those sites immediately but give no response to fans on twitter. You can see more responses in the QRTs of the Arknights post, here’s a few of them. Note that it’s MTL so it’s never going to be 1:1 with what they’ve written.
