They are Sudanese refugees who have evacuated to Egypt. As they settle down, her aunt collapsed on Christmas Eve and was rushed to the hospital. She was diagnosed with brain stem hematoma, which meant her brain was bleeding! She was in intensive care, relying on the ventilator, as she was unable to breathe on her own, but the doctors required $1,700 USD for her month long stay in the hospital!

They will discontinue her treatment if we do not raise the amount in time! So please donate and share! There is $124 USD left to go! You can match me. I have given $5, but you're more than welcome to give any amount! ! !

Egyptian analyst Mohamed Saad Khiralla writing in Elaf, a Saudi news outfit:

The height of justice was evident in what the IDF did at dawn on Friday, when it struck precision at Iranian military sites and facilities, making it clear that the machine of destruction must pay for its crimes. With this legitimate act, Israel is not only defending itself, but is fighting a battle on behalf of the free world against the dark forces led by Iran, those forces that sanctify death and assassinate the future with the name of a distorted past with false slogans that have brought nothing but misery. This is the truth that I have repeated in my writings repeatedly, and I reaffirm it today. ... Israel, with its humanity, proves time and again that it does not target innocent Iranian civilians, but focuses its operations accurately on military leaders and nuclear and military facilities, in order to save itself, the region and the world from an imminent catastrophe. Iran is deliberately targeting civilians and shelling Israeli cities with rockets to inflict casualties among the innocent. Any vast difference between the values that preserve man, and the forces that breathe only with the smell of blood. ... I conclude my article by thanking the IDF, which confirmed that it is a moral army that is well aware of the value of military honor, and proved that the mullahs’ terrorism cannot go unpunished. All gratitude to Israel, which defends itself, the future of our children and grandchildren, and the right of future generations to live in a Middle East where everyone lives in peace, and for the values of freedom, dignity and the right to life. Victory for the forces of freedom and humanity in the face of the forces of darkness and blood.

How can you go there? At this instant? And why do you feel compelled to go? I ask because a cousin of mine and his girlfriend went to Cairo a few days ago. They are posting their photos all over social media and being like: "Look, I saw the Pyramids of Giza! I rode a camel. I drove an ATV through the desert!" Then they act like they have a fucking conscience since they have visited Morocco and Türkiye.

I also have an uncle and his sister flying there next month. They are staying for a week. I even have a cousin who visits Dubai often! This is wild to know because these are relatives who consider themselves as being Pro Palestinians. But they are willing to spend $1,500 and more because it is their life, their money, and their desire to experience the world, while there are many who have been robbed from doing the same. They are hanging on a thread. Death is at their doorsteps.

Is this how far we can normalize genocide? Even as allies? How we can travel and ignore the pain and suffering next door? This is cruel. So fucking cruel.

If you care about Palestine and Sudan, please consider donating and/or boosting these families.

Boxopening - Penny's Box - Puppet Kingdom Little Witch & Little Painter Blind Boxes - aka Bodies for the Patchlings

As mentioned not that long ago i decided to turn the heads from @mirrorada into full dolls and knowing they fit Penny's box bodies was really helpful. I decided to use the bodies (&cloth) of this really cute series for Poe, Mary, Stephen and Bram.

I considered using a 5th for another rolling head but the head is too big for the body, therefore I ended up with two leftover boys. I kept those two with their original heads as they are my favorites of the series, I'm not sure if I will handle them as usual members of the crew or not, my brain is a bit done by now, dressing them up took quite a while.

"This museum is quite fascinating, isn't it, Elaf? It hosts a rich collection of art, paintings, and other artifacts of time past, all well-preserved and organized. While I don't go out often, I do enjoy frequenting places like this with a soothing and educational atmosphere. It's admirable how humans go to such lengths to immortalize these relics and keep them in perfect condition. Which exhibit shall we view next? I don't exactly have a strong preference."

The stunning and immersive architecture of the surrounding museum captivated Ruki with each step as he took his lover's hand, traipsing with watchful, tempest eyes. From hand-carved woodwork to elaborate murals and mosaics, he would occasionally marvel the attention to detail before turning back to Elaf, a slight smirk playing at his lips.

"As long as it's with you, I'm content wherever we go. It's like each exhibit is made even more special because we're experiencing it together."
