Bitcoin boys found their way over here fast.

I hate this world.

A bloody 24hrs in Sudan. From SAF airstrikes in Kabkabiya (dozens killed; some estimates put death toll at 85) & Khartoum (27 killed) to RSF bombings in Omdurman (at least 40 killed) & Zamzam IDP Camp (at least 8 killed) Civilians remain the primary victims. #KeepEyesOnSudan

A 100 people A DAY are dying in Sudan due to starvation. This HRW report talks about the Nuba Mountains primarily and more specially, al-Hilou, a camp outside of the village of Tongouli. It highlights that despite some aid reaching the area, it’s still not enough. #EyesOnDarfur #KeepEyesOnSudan

Bringing this back up on the TL because Jin is still in need of support. Any contribution you can make will go a long way towards securing housing & safety for her. Please help! #mutualaid

#Disability Hi! This is Shadia, a disabled 16 year old girl in Gaza. She uses a hearing aid as she cannot hear or speak. However her device was destroyed, and needs to be repaired as soon as possible. She's still in the middle of genocide, and now cannot hear approaching danger! gofund.me/834cdb23

BLUESKY IS NOT A FRESH START FOR PREDATORS, ABUSERS, BIGOTS, BULLIES, ETC. If we packed you up on Twitter/X, you getting PACKED TF UP HERE. Hoe.

Never forget.

Why am I attracting ✨that✨ demographic of anti-Black men from the continent. What is happening…. I need to do some self reflection.

What a beautiful thread. I love Black women 🥹

Hi friends! Saving Algeneina are raising $1000 to provide blankets & winter clothes for displaced people in Gedarif who fled from eastern Jezira State in Sudan. paypal.com/ncp/payment/... There are so many children & elderly among them. Watch the video & listen to the kids: #KeepEyesOnSudan

This first one might be an acquired text — it’s certainly a deep cut. Translated, the title is “A lady, a unique beauty”, and it’s part of the Haqeeba —the “briefcase of art”—a collection of songs that make up the classics of Sudanese music. Like so many Haqeeba songs, it’s been covered A LOT.

"does bluesky have drafts" no but we have kindness. we have friendship. we know love. we know how to see the world in a grain of sand, and heaven in a wildflower. we know how to hold infinity in the palm of my hand, and eternity in an hour.

Thanks new followers. I’m a Blackfoot person living in my homeland in what is currently called Canada. I came over from Twitter earlier this year. Sorry, I’m still not on Facebook. Just thought I would introduce myself in case anyone was wondering who tf I was.

So glad the racists don’t know how to make a Blue Sky account.

For anyone looking for folks to follow to learn more about #Sudan, I prepared this list some months ago. It’s not an exhaustive one (and doesn’t include bsky because I’m new here & don’t know anyone yet), but it’s a good place to start. 😊 #KeepEyesOnSudan

idk how to explain it but twitter is the US and bluesky is canada

My mom recently told me it hurts her when I ask about Sudan because it takes her back to a place she wants to forget. She said she doesn’t want to focus on it because we’re in a much better place now.

Today’s quick update [Nov 16]: - SAF airstrikes reported in Elfashir today targeting RSF positons east of the city; intermittent RSF shelling also reported. #KeepEyesOnSudan

In case anyone else is curious about the haka translation:

“When you’re accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.”

Tbh this feels more like a community over here. Slowly following everyone back and rebuilding what I had on the bird app forever ago.

This app has no place for: -Racism -Ableism -Misogyny -MISOGYNOIR -Homophobia -Classism -Serophobia -Xenophobia Or any other form of ridiculous -ism or -phobia aimed at minorities and the oppressed….NOT HERE! Take it back to that bird app

*this is an afropessimist account* you have been warned

This is our jasmine we call it Indian Jasmine, it grows like a tall tree , it was our spot me and mom , to sip tea or just chitchat about whatever . I wish I had better quality photos , I never thought I’d contemplate that I might never see my home again or the plants I love .

This grapefruit tree is 20 years older than me, growing up; I used to pic the fruits with my mom , we would pack them up and send some to my eldest sister –she lives in nearby city— my mom always believed that our grapefruit are super special .

Update: Jin is just over the halfway point 🙌🏾 time is of the essence for them to be able to secure new housing and avoid homelessness. Please share widely, and give what you can! No contribution is too small! #KeepEyesOnSudan

Last but not least (for today), photojournalist Faiz Abubakr. For the better part of the last year and a half, he’s been documenting the war in Sudan. Faiz is the 2022 World Press Photo winner for Africa (last photo). He’s amazing.

Jood Ahmed is a recent discovery for me (in the last year), and I’m so grateful. I can *smell* her photographs, if that makes sense. They reflect small town/communal life in a way that is relatable on a cellular level (esp the last 3 photos here).

Something about Hassan Kamil’s photographs is really calming to me. I like how in a lot of his photos the environment seems to swallow up the subjects, but you’re still drawn to them. The last photo is his latest work. I like that to think it was a callback to the first photo.

Mahamat Djouma is one of the millions displaced by the civil war in Sudan. He is part of an especially vulnerable group — unaccompanied minors. Here is his story.

Today’s quick update [Nov 15]: - Airstrikes and exchange of heavy artillery fire continued in Elfashir, North Darfur. - Video surfaced showing RSF forces rupturing canals, flooding villages in Jezira State after forcibly displacing residents. #KeepEyesOnSudan

A poem of mine

I will not burden Palestinians with creating new accounts to keep reminding us they are experiencing genocide funded, armed, and perpetuated by England’s bastard children - The US and Israel - so I’ll share what I can from that other site here for them.
