Nobody gives two shits about an ENTIRE COUNTRY being hit by two cyclones consecutively. It’s displaced over 160,000 people and destroyed over 30,000 homes.

Yet no one cries.

No billionaires or other countries have talked about donating or helping the country out.

Please help by donating to charities and fundraisers dedicated to helping provide humanitarian aid to Mozambique!

Hey y’all, I’m Claudia Edison, and when I’m not drawing stupid metal gear jokes for tumblr dot com I’m a community organizer for an immigrant justice organization. I’m the person being interviewed in those news articles.

Right now my little organization is raising legal funds for an undocumented mother of 2 who is facing deportation. We’ve almost got her legal costs covered, but we need about $200 more to cover her lawyer fees. If you have ever liked my art, I’m selling simple doodles like the ones above for $20+. This is an absolute emergency, this person we have been in contact with for months is going to potentially be separated from her family (including her two children aged 2 and 6) and/or detained. Please DM me if you want to buy a commission or donate. This is an emergency, please spread this.

Here’s some fun facts about one of my favorite stories being told in Hamilton: this is Ariana Debose, who plays a special role within the ensemble known as The Bullet. She’s killed for suspected espionage right after You’ll Be Back, and is the first one to die (not counting Hamilton’s mother or cousin who hangs himself). After this moment, she becomes an omen of death. At the beginning of Stay Alive, she carries a shot that narrowly avoids hitting Hamilton. In Yorktown, she helps Laurens kill a redcoat, shakes his hand, then Laurens is the next to die. In I Know Him, she’s the one bringing the message to King George about John Adams and symbolically heralding the impending doom of Hamilton’s political career. During Blow Us All Away, she’s the one who tells Phillip where to find George Eacker, (and flirts with him! Phillip is literally flirting with death!) then Phillip is the next to die. In Your Obedient Servent, she brings the desk on stage and hands Burr the quill to write the first of several letters that will eventually lead to Alexander Hamilton’s death. During the final duel, she again catches a bullet (fired by Burr), and if you watch her, she gets closer and closer to hitting Hamilton while he’s doing his soliloquy until Eliza pops onto stage. At this point, The Bullet is stopped by other members of the ensemble, the time freeze is abandoned, and we all know what happens‬ next. (soure: JC Payne)

Maya, a trans Yemeni woman, was able to raise enough funds to secure a flat and some basic necessities for the time being, but she needs help getting out of the country. Please consider donating if you are able! Share!

Note: GoFundMe image shows (non graphically - wounds have been patched up) bruises and facial wounds caused by transphobic violence and the description contains (non graphic) mentions of torture and abuse.

For donation receipts and more updates and details on Maya’s situation refer to: QueerAMEASA and thetranshijabi on Twitter.

Anyone who can quote Thomas More is well worth the effort. The Prince has read Utopia? I found it sentimental and dull. I confess, the plight of the everyday rustic bores me. I gather you do not converse with many peasants. Certainly not, no! Naturally. Excuse me, Sire, but there is nothing natural about it. A country’s character is defined by its everyday rustics, as you call them. They are the legs you stand on. That position demands respect, not… Am I to understand that you find me arrogant? Well, you gave one man back his life… but did you even glance at the others? Ever After (1998) dir. Andy Tennant
