#Iban People

[yekokataa]

you wouldn’t think that in 2024 i’d still be constantly plagued by the us not having proper bank transfer options and yet

[masked-disciple]

If I go and do Hazeel Cult tonight and actually remember to take screenshots of Clivet (because of course Iban won't be there if I go back to his temple, which I have to do during Regicide, which won't even be possible tonight because I need fifteen more levels in agility), I could theoretically do Dishonour Among Thieves tonight.

That would be fun.

To be honest I don't know if fundraising is enough at this point but it's the only thing I can do??

Everyone who cares by now already knows things are dire in Gaza. Several weeks blockade followed by bombardment is some sicko sh-t. Things are really expensive and there's just not enough STUFF to go around. Nevertheless, I'm trying to help Hamada and his family raise money for a tent. The latest strikes made impact near their previous shelters and they are injured and internally displaced in Khan Younis. If I keep writing people are just more likely to scroll past so here's the campaign

I think people might have been passing over this campaign because it's not vetted. I had submitted a request to @gazavetters for him but seeing as how all of Gaza is under assault and the team behind gazavetters are in North Gaza, I don't think they will be able to get to his campaign soon. And I'm not Palestinian nor do I speak Arabic so I can't give you a 100% guarantee in vetting but I will say that I've been chatting with Hamada and his brother on Whatsapp, they have +970 country code numbers, and the IBAN given to me resolves to a bank of Palestine account. If anyone knows anyone willing and able to vouch, please get in touch.

Edit: I reached out to @\canaanitepalestinian who verified Hamada's photo ID that I showed him. Also rb'd by Ahmed @\90-ghost here. Thank you both for verifying.

How to Donate to the Domari Society of Gypsies in Jerusalem

As many of you may know, the Domari community in Palestine is suffering alongside native Palestinians in the genocidal campaign headed by Israel.

Though we do not know much of the Domari's struggles in detail, I can only imagine it is the same extent as the Palestinians' struggles.

The Domari Society was founded by director Amoun Sleem in 2000 and since then she and her staff have done incredible things for the Domari, including providing resources and education to women and children.

On the Domari Society website, there is information on how to send donations via bank transfer, but considering that their main avenue may not be the most accessible to share and donate, I am making this post providing a step-by-step guide on how to donate to the Domari Society of Gypsies in Jerusalem.

This method works only if you have a PayPal and/or Xoom account (Xoom is owned by PayPal so if you only have PP, you can still donate.)

Step-by-Step:

Click this [link] here. It will take you to Xoom's page for sending money to Israel (Jerusalem is occupied by Israel, so it must be through them). Make sure you are signed in to either Xoom or PayPal.

Enter a minimum amount of 35.66 shekels (minimum 10.01 USD) to send. Click (Send Now) to progress to the next page.

3. Confirm information on screen and click (Next).

4. Select (Bank Deposit) and click (Next).

5. When selecting a bank, click (Other) and it will bring you to a page where you must enter the IBAN number of the bank you want to send money to. The IBAN for the Domari Society's bank is IL040176380000002503877 (copy and paste this exactly). Confirm that the bank is Mercantile Discount Bank Ltd and click (Next).

6. Enter in contact information. It is as follows: First Name: Domari Last Name: Society Address 1: Shua'fat, Derech Shua'fat 10 City: Jerusalem Phone Number: +97225324510 Email: domarisociety@gmail.com

7. Enter any information required and choose your payment option. On the last page, confirm the information listed and if everything is correct, click (Send).

Bank transfer may take a few days, but congratulations! You just donated to the Domari Society of Gypsies in Jerusalem. Know that your contribution will go towards the betterment of the Domari in Palestine.

Also, most information is found on the Domari Society's website, so if you wish to confirm that the donation is legitimate you can check the bank details here: [link]

Please share this whether you donate or not, it could mean life or death for Dom under occupation. May we all see a day where our people are safe. Te aven baxtalo 💙❤️💚

News on how to help People of Gaza get food

Eyad and his brother have decided to start a campaign to feed those in need in Gaza, due to Israel once again cutting off aid during Ramadan. All funds in this particular new campaign will go towards providing aid to people. This new start up is called The "Ever Mile Foundation"

Eyad's brother, Khaled, is accepting donations via direct transfer by bank. However, once the charity is more well established, a gofundme will be created to accept further donations. For now, they are looking to raise $1,000 to get the charity started, and so if you'd like to help send aid and food and supplies into Gaza, please send it to them with the below information:

Name of recipient: KHALED ABDALNASER ALANQAR IBAN: PS22PALS045115431680013100000 (Bank of Palestine) Address: Gaza, Palestine

additionally, Eyad is still fundraising for his own campaign, which you can donate to here. If you can't donate at all, please share this instead, you'd be helping out a lot!

“I was broken hearted and at a crossroads in my life when I first went up the Skrang River in Sarawak Borneo. The people I met there, ten years ago, who hosted me and my crew in their longhouse, who fed us and looked after us, treated me with great kindness. When the Chiefs invited me back for their yearly harvest festival, GAWAI, I said I would come.

It took me a while, but in the end I did return.

I have to admit, I was wondering if all the bad shit running through my head the first time I went up that river was still lurking there — if I’d managed to entirely put it away. I was fulfilling a promise. And I was curious to see how things had changed.

The Iban people are wonderful hosts. It is true that once, not too long ago, they were headhunters — a proud tradition reflected in the faded tattoos on the fingers of the elders — and dusty bouquet of skulls that hung over my head in the longhouse the first time I was there.

The skulls are gone now. And there are more TV’s and cell phones… And when I arrived this time, friends and relatives from all over the world had returned for the festival. The forest has been somewhat denuded by timbering, but much is the same.

We went to great lengths to retrace our steps — so some of you might feel you’ve seen this show before. Which you have.

But things are different now.

The drinking was non-stop. The Iban karaoke, insane. And my idea to get a traditional, hand-tapped jungle tattoo on my sternum was probably ill advised.

But it’s one of the most beautiful places on earth-as remote and as different from where I grew up as anyplace could be. The people are lovely — and the food, as everywhere in Malaysia, incredible.

It was, in the end, the best kind of adventure.”

–Anthony Bourdain

Representing Malaysia to answer “what’e something a lot of people falsely romanticize about the country?”

A lot of people assume Malaysia a tropical paradise with really beautiful forest and beaches with those really aesthetic blue/green vibes. Most advertisement are projecting only the notable states that have actual clean and well maintained nature (such as Sabah, Sarawak, Pulau Pinang and Pangkor) which are suffering from tourism prices where the locals themselves have to pay insane amount of money for basic items like food and groceries. The other issue is, most of these environments are being neglect, horribly so. Many of the “untouched” natural spots marketed to tourists are actually struggling due to overdevelopment and lack of conservation efforts, and half the places are not being maintained properly due to so many reasons ranging from political to financial issues.

😂not a romanticized issues, but very much a misconception is that only Malays exist in Malaysia (because of “Malay”-sia). We have Chinese, Indians, Orang Asli (indigenous people, which alone has a whole category like Senoi, Kadazan-Dusun, Iban etc) and more! We’re a very diverse country :3

OMG, hi Gomz.

Yeah, tourism seems to be the cause of a lot of environmental issues in different countries and a lot of people don't want to hear it. Tourism can be good in some circumstances, in others it fucks up a lot of things for people who are inadvertently involved because they committed the cardinal sin of living somewhere that's marketable.

Emergency aid for Rojava!

Humanitarian aid for the victims of Turkey’s aggressions

Turkey has been bombing civilian infrastructure in Rojava (North and East Syria) since 4th of October 2023, and the region is heading for a humanitarian catastrophe. Turkey has bombed more than 150 targets so far: Much of the region's vital infrastructure has been damaged or destroyed in a matter of hours. Turkey’s attacks have so far caused dozens of civilian deaths and injuries and destroyed 80 per cent of civilian infrastructure, including water and power supplies, hospitals, residential areas, schools, oil fields, factories and warehouses. Hundreds of thousands of people have been cut off from electricity and water supplies for days now. The Covid hospital in Dêrik, one of the most important hospitals of its kind in the region, was completely destroyed by the Turkish air strikes. Numerous other health facilities have been destroyed, hospitals cut off from electricity, cold chains broken - there are calls for blood donations. As Turkey’s attacks continue, the humanitarian situation is expected to deteriorate further and the death toll to rise. The Kurdish Red Crescent (Heyva Sor a Kurd) is on the ground providing vital humanitarian assistance. Support the work of Heyva Sor a Kurd with your donations!

Hey there. I'm Seymour (aka Stanislav in regular life), a Kyiv-based Ukrainian trans man, and I am crowdfunding for my top surgery.

Long story short:

The price is USD 1875 (75000 UAH). And frankly speaking, that's A Lot for me. So, I would really appreciate any donations, even just a dollar or two. If you can't donate but can share, it’ll be of a great help too.

GoFundMe unfortunately doesn't work in Ukraine and I haven't found any other reliable services which do (pls let me know if you know any). So unfortunately I can only provide my PayPal and bank info (pls do ignore my deadname lol):

Long story long:

I'm an artist, a queer activist, a writer and a LARPer. I'm employed full-time plus doing some side gigs plus trying to sell my artworks, but salaries in Ukraine just aren't that great. I'm making monthly about $1200 and half of that goes for the rent. Some medical bills for my partner and my doggo already left me with about -1750 USD on my credit card. I got another credit card approved for the surgery specifically and my partner and I are planning to move out to a cheaper place in December, but I’m planning the surgery for October, so paying off the debts will be hard for a while.

I know there're a lot of causes closer to home, whenever that home is for you. If I'm honest that's why I try to ask people from outside Ukraine bc here every donation we have to make is for the survival of our people. Something like a top surgery is frivoulos compared to that.

But if you do have a spare couple of dollars, they would make a huge difference for me. The exchange rate is 1USD=40UAH, so yeah. I would be tremendously happy for any donation you can make.

If you donate more than $20, pls get in touch with me (tumblr, instagram and twitter: @nezoriy, @stanmur in telegram), and I'll be happy to do a digital painting of yourself, your partner, your cat, your OC/DnD character etc. For a donation over $50 I'll draw for you pretty much anything you want.

Please share and donate if you can.

[handweavers]

trying to learn more about soil and clay for earth pigments purposes (ie using earth pigments for making paint for both fabric printing and watercolours) which i've studied before and have taught classes on working with purchased earth pigments for the above purposes, but i'm trying to understand more about exactly how these pigments form in the soil and thus how to most easily find them outside myself. and the easiest solution i've found is to read my dad's earth science textbook on 'the nature and properties of soils' from 1996 like, for fun essentially, front to back, and try to absorb as much as i can from it

like when i describe myself as a textile artist and talk about making paint and dyes and weaving people think it's exciting, which it can be, but people keep asking me where i get my knowledge from and i can't emphasize enough how much of my life is spent sitting in my house reading 20+ year old university textbooks on soil and ethnobiology papers titled like 'utilizing non-timber forest products in traditional culture: iban dyes of sarawak' while being a high school dropout lol

[bitter-hibiscus]

I know I run a fandom blog, but I can't in good consciousness not talk about what's happening in Brazil.

Rio Grande do Sul, my home state, is underwater. The floods are reaching 9 meters in height. Over 74 thousand people are now homeless, and over 300 cities out of the 497 cities in the state are in critical condition. In marginalized cities, the gangs are demanding to be paid to save people. There are 74 confirmed deaths, but that number will grow exponentially once the water is low enough that we can actually see the bodies-- the estimate for right now is over 1000 deaths. This tragedy will become a yearly event because of the utter incompetence of our governor and our president. There are multiple hospitals filled with people who needed to be treated for hypothermia that got flooded and now the patients are stuck inside.

I'll leave below the information to donate money to the government, but if I find any links related to non-profit organizations I will be making other posts about it. If you're American, your donations would be even more important. 5 dollars is equivalent to 20 reais. That's enough to buy someone a meal, or a blanket, or clothes that aren't soaked in dirty river water, or most common medications.

If you have no money at all, please just spread the word. It will encourage other countries to send help our way because Brazil was entirely unprepared for this disaster. Ask your representatives to help us.
