i will make a more detailed post about this tomorrow but when it boils down to it i need you all to know this: time is running dangerously low for Shaima and Muhammad's families to evacuate.
yesterday 1am the kids were woken up by deafening explosions extremely close to al-Mawasi—another iof targeted airstrike aiming for refugee camps. the family was forced to flee without any of their possessions. they are now officially tentless.
to make matters worse, Hala agency contacted Wafaa to tell her that she needs to have the full campaign amount ready by August 18 if she wants her family to be registered for evacuation together. We still have about 28k left to raise.
we have less than SEVEN DAYS in order to help this tentless and starving family evacuate. they have been displaced more than 10 times now, and the kids are sleeping exposed on the sidewalks of Khan Younis. I opened Al-Jazeera literally 15 minutes ago and the iof is bombing Khan Younis AS WE SPEAK. Please. I don't know how else to urge you to donate, the lives of 10 children and their parents literally are in your hands.
Two raffles being held simultaneously by me, winners will both be announced at the start of September (this deadline was set before I knew about Hala agency's stipulations. we still need this campaign to be completed THIS WEEK). please donate what you can and enter one of the two raffles: a crocheted Magikarp plush or a custom screen-print tote bag.
please don’t let this flop tumblr pleeeaase i spent 12 hours on this

When I see people talking negatively about Dream SMP and saying things like it doesn't deserve its massive viewership and that it's just kids screaming, or that only children would be capable of enjoying it, or most damningly that it's low effort content I know they've never watched a big plot stream like today.
Because, enjoy it or not, Dream SMP is probably the highest effort content you can find on twitch. It's like a 2 hour live theater performance with no scene breaks, and half of it is improv. All the "sets" are painstakingly built by hand, sometimes while being live and in character. It took Sam dozens of hours to build the prison, most if which he wasn't paid for since he didn't stream to avoid spoilers.
The amount of talent, EFFORT, and dedication that goes into pulling something like this off is astronomical.
And some of the old guard of twitch and youtube along with their viewership don't seem to understand that. A comedic video game review or a video essay may take a long time to script and edit but imagine the anxiety of having to pull something like this off live in front of 1 million people, and that's not even getting into how many will watch the vod. Last night Punz was talking about how anxious he is to get more involved in the roleplay for that reason.
It's a new era of live entertainment. These kids write their own lines, are their own camera operators, their own stage crew, their own stunt doubles. Even D&D doesn't require you to have a mastery of video game mechanics. These roleplays don't just require improvised lines but movements and fight scenes as well.
So even if Dream SMP isn't everyone's cup of tea I think it deserves respect from other creators and their fanbases.
"It's dumb and boring" says someone who's stream content of choice is just watching someone be good at first person shooters. "Just stream minecraft for clout, it's easy lol..." says someone who's never watched a stream and doesn't understand why Dream SMP specifically is so popular.
This isn't toy channels or a Fortnite loot boxes scam. Just because something is enjoyed by kids doesn't make it exploitative or low effort.

the thing about brasilian ppl is that we love heavily and deeply, our language is one of poetry and song. we are masters of metaphor and lyricism in a way. that being said most of us do need mood stabilizers.

We have been providing her medical needs for almost 3 years which is a life time support of oxygen. The oxygen tank last a day or two depending on her condition. We have been asking funds here on tumblr for a year now since I don’t have a job anymore and the expenses is out of my hands. Both of our parents are getting older now and they just can’t provide more for us. So everything is up to me now.
Your Donations go through the following:
Oxygen Tank Refill - Cost 660 php+ 40php transport a total of 700Php A day or two.
Medical Needs, her vitamins and maintenance
