We found a way to feed the animals in the north! A lot of animal food was left there in storage too. We bought some of it and our volunteer Kamal will distribute. These are some of the cats that were fed with this food.

Throw some poses in those off screen limbs, even if you think we won’t see them. Got cut off, but you get the idea. #film #animation #animtip

Always the audacity and none of the sense and tact.

Exactly 31 years ago today, a British man by the name of Graham Bamford, set himself on fire in front of the British House of Commons in London, as an act of protest against the ongoing Bosnian Genocide. He saw his own daughter in every child killed in Bosnia.

Spotlighting RDJ was always a mistake from the first trailer. He produced it (along with his wife I think), & he plays a lot of side characters, but marketing should have always been focused on Hoa & the other actual main characters dealing w/ the North/South & refugee aspects.

Do you see the tents? This is in Rafah just now.

As I knew would happen people in the comments think her wearing a skirt is adding insult to injury, but fun fact, wearing skirts to play basketball is actually quite normal. Look up 'Netball'.
It's played predominantly in the Caribbean and other countries in the Commonwealth.

All this money to Israel, meanwhile the ACP program is no longer closing the digital gap because it's out of funding. So many comrades on tribal lands will not be able to afford their internet bills.

Every time I see an announcement about the use of AI in creative industries where the programs are being used to replace humans, I think of how detrimental the use of AI is to the environment.

These companies are taking people's jobs and killing the environment at the same time.

Our last hope for survival is crumbling. The campaign is moving very, very slowly. Asking for help each time is awkward and uncomfortable, but I feel like I have no choice but to do it again. The genocide doesn't stop, and day after day, things don't get any easier, and we can't…

What about Malak, Elia, Deema, Hassan, and more than 15 thousand kid who were killed by Israel, buried under the rubble, deprived from a decent funeral! Oh, I’m sorry, Palestinians are subhuman!

I had a great time speaking with IN FLAMES actresses Ramesha Nawal and Bakthawar Mazhar about their characters learning to trust in each other as mother and daughter, and finding their strength through trauma as women, for KCRUSH America.
