me in five years when i still don’t have my life together:

It's been 5 years.

this drawing of Ragsat Al ‘Aroos, or the Sudanese bridal dance, was made in collaboration with awladalneel for their fundraiser for their work and the sudan solidarity collective. prints are available with proceeds to the same.

The ritual dates back to the Kingdom of Kush, where the dance was performed by couples during wedding ceremonies as an ode to the fertility god and to highlight the brides’ beauty. Until recently it was performed topless with a stringed skirt (rahat) pulled undone during the dance. Today, some choose to continue the tradition, reshaping the ritual to meet religious, familial, or personal preferences. Brides prepare intensively with a teacher (ragasa) and perform after the ceremony (jirtig). The bride begins in a thoob and groom in a jalabiya, and during the dance her belt is cut and thrown to the audience. The specifics of the dance, as well as the wedding week, vary widely across tribes, communities, and regions (it is most common in the north). The dance, and the African history it embodies, has survived and adapted to Arab, Egyptian, Ottoman, and British rule, and today through the struggle for freedom & peace in contemporary Sudan.

Due to his extreme hunger, this child ate watch batteries

In a tragic reflection of the severe conditions in Gaza, a young boy, driven by extreme hunger, resorted to eating batteries from a watch. His desperate act underscores the acute scarcity of food and essential supplies in the region. The boy is now critically ill, battling severe poisoning as a result of the ingestion. This incident highlights the dire humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where blockades and ongoing conflicts have drastically limited access to food, medical care, and basic needs, pushing the population towards unimaginable extremes just to survive.

Madleen and I have been messaging on Facebook and she told me how hopeless and tired she's been feeling. She says it's especially hard now that Ramadan is about to end and she and her family won't be able to celebrate Eid like they usually do. Let's help her achieve her fundraising goal at least so that we can lessen some of her worries even just for a little bit. Please donate if you can and share her gfm link to help it reach more people.
