do you know where are the the best places or mosteffective to donate to help palestinians atm? like charities ect

In terms of direct aid it is better to give money directly to families in Ghazza than to a charity. Charities, governmental and nongovernmental organisations &c., are seldom able to use funds to distribute aid right now, as few trucks are getting through, and none to the north of Ghazza.

ETA on Charities in Ghazza:

Taawon Association (in partnership with the Bank of Palestine) are distributing hot meals in Ghazza.

The World Food Programme (WFP) is getting food parcels into Ghazza, though I can't find them sharing a more specific location anywhere. Donate here.

The Palestinian Children's Relief Fund (PCRF) is providing medicine, food, and water. Their website specifically mentions food relief in north, central, and south Ghazza, and water delivered to north and south Ghazza.

Direct aid to Ghazza:

Money given directly to families in Ghazza is used to help them cross the Rafah crossing into Egypt, and/or to purchase plane tickets and apply for visas so they have somewhere to go after arriving in Egypt.

Help Christians in Ghazza get visas to leave

Help Hala Abu Ramadan's family of six leave Ghazza (organized by Mohammed Samhouri, vouched for by @psychoticgerard)

Help Dr. Intimaa AbuHelou's family of 22 leave Ghazza (organized by professer Steve Tamari)

Help Shayma and her family of 16 leave Ghazza (organised by Fardowsa. You may remember a link to a paypal going around to help Shayma; however, paypal has frozen those funds)

Help Shaymaa's family of 13 leave Ghazza (organised by Shaymaa herself, who is in Canada)

Help Sanaa and her family of 5 leave Ghazza and establish themselves in Belgium (organised by Eyad M, vouched for by Motaz Azaiza)

Help sisters Duaa and Deena leave Ghazza and get medical treatment in Cairo (organised by Shereen Alhayek, @.littlestpersimmon's friend's acquaintance)

Help Ahmed (@90-ghost) and his family leave Ghazza via ko-fi, paypal, or gofundme (@unionfish is offering stickers and prints in exchange for donations)

Help a family of Ghazzan refugees in Egypt get medical care and relocate

Buy an e-sim for use in Ghazza

Interruption of arms sent to Israel:

Palestine Action targets arms manufacturers in the US and UK

Palestine Legal offers legal defense for those who get arrested &c. in the course of protest or sabotage on behalf of Palestine

If you have some barrier to donating or to buying e-sims yourself (someone looking through your transactions, no room on your phone for new apps, don't want to mess up the instructions, don't have time to keep up with what's being called for at the moment, literally whatever), I can buy e-sims and move funds on your behalf. My venmo is @gothhabiba; paypal paypal.me/Najia; squarecash $NajiaK; DM me for Zelle information. Feel free to leave a note about where you want it to go (specifically for e-sims; aid to people in Ghazza; &c.)

BDS (Boycott, Divest, Sanctions)

You asked specifically about donations, but if you haven't looked into the boycotts being called for by the Palestinian Campaign for Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI) and the Palestinian BDS National Committee (BNC), I urge you to do so.

BDS chapters in your locality may be calling for their own boycotts, so look into that as well. Think creatively about how to minimise purchase of boycotted goods (e.g., getting your union to refuse to shelve Israeli groceries).

Monday strikes

The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) has called for weekly strikes on Mondays. Talk to your union or coworkers about strikes or work stoppages on Mondays, if you can. At least avoid making any purchases (goods, recreation, entertainment, food, &c.) on Mondays.

ok, so y'all remember how i made that post once explaining how Bianca Solderini could totally be middle eastern. (Just read this if you need an explanation.)

so in my mind, I have totally already cast her. (at least for fic purposes, and only my imagination for the show) as either Nikohl Boosheri, or Shereen Ahmed. Nikohl has acted on screen before, but Shereen Ahmed has been on Broadway, and on television, and I know they like casting actors with same theater type background

so here is a photo dump below

that is Nikohl Boosheri. i think she could do bianca. just look at that last pic--the stance, the face, the hair. it kinda looks like a pose from a renaissance painting.

here is shereen ahmed.

(she's pretty light-skinned, and in my head i wanted her and armand to be closer to the same shade. for no reason other than i thought it might be nice for armand to see someone who look like him. but it would totally make sense for a middle-eastern women who was probably? born in Italy to be a lighter shade. seeing as she supposedly had a powerful family that was forcing her to kill people. that powerful family could have been white, and just had a few kids with the middle eastern women there. then separated themselves from that side of the family, bc racism was a thing.)

ok, here are the last two pics I couldn't find before. left is shereen, right is nikohl

My Fair Lady Revival Adds a New Twist to a Loverly Musical Classic

My Fair Lady Revival Adds a New Twist to a Loverly Musical Classic

Shereen Ahmed as Eliza Doolittle and the Company of “My Fair Lady.” (Joan Marcus) The sets and costumes in My Fair Lady have always been gasp-worthy, and this production does not disappoint. They said it couldn’t be done. That was the general consensus of several creative teams, including Rodgers and Hammerstein, who turned down the opportunity to turn George Bernard Shaw’s 1912 play, Pygmalion,…

[near-dareis-mai]

hello! do you happen to have any audio (or, if possible video) of shereen ahmed in my fair lady? she's my favorite eliza!

i love her too, but sorry no i don't have audio or video of her!

Casting Goals: Queen Guenevere in Camelot

So... with the news of Lincoln Center’s next major revival being Camelot, I decided to finally sit down and watch the pro-shoot that’s on YouTube. I don’t think it’s the entire thing because it’s only an hour long... I’m still watching it, but I already have SO MANY dream Guenevere‘s!

"My Fair Lady" at the Orpheum Theatre

When Shaw wrote Pygmalion, he most decidedly did NOT intend it to be a love story. At least not a love story about a budding romance between street urchin Eliza Doolittle and the grand and haughty Professor Henry Higgins. It was a satire on classism and privilege. But when Lerner and Loewe got hold of it, it lost much of its bite. (But gained some gorgeous music!)

While it's still a charming musical distraction from the troubles of our contemporary world, director Bartlett Sher has added back in some of the sharpness Shaw intended. Spoiler alert, Higgins and Eliza don't walk hand in hand into the sunset.

On top of all that, the staging is magnificent, the costumes sumptuous, and the cast brilliant. But go read my full review at TalkinBroadway.
