Please consider donating to my friend’s gofundme, or at least sharing the link. Her grandparents, aunty, uncle and their two 3-year-old children are stuck in Port Sudan, they are facing death or worse and need urgent help to flee. I know everyone is worn out from all the horrific crimes being committed around the world right now but please, this is really important.

Knights of Liberty - Wikipedia
Pictured here is Moses Dickson, from the frontispiece illustration of the 1879 book A Manual of the Knights of Tabor and Daughters of the Tabernacle. In 1872, the Rev. Moses Dickson founded the International Order of Twelve of Knights and Daughters of Tabor, an African-American fraternal order focused on benevolence and financial programs. Dickson was born a free man in Cincinnati in 1824, was a Union soldier during the Civil War, and afterwards became a prominent clergyman in the African Methodist Episcopal Church. Dickson showed an interest in progressive fraternal organizations early on – in 1846 Dickson, with others, founded a society known as the Knights of Liberty, whose objective was to overthrow slavery; the group did not get beyond the organizing stages. Dickson was also involved in Freemasonry – he was the second Grand Master of the Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Missouri.
Dickson’s International Order of Twelve of Knights and Daughters of Tabor – or Order of Twelve, as it’s more commonly know – accepted men and women on equal terms. Men and women met together in higher level groups and in the governance of the organization, although at the local level they met separately – the men in “temples” and the women in “tabernacles” (akin to “lodges” in Freemasonry). The Order of Twelve was most prominent in the South and the lower Midwest. The major benefits to members – similar to many fraternal orders of the time – was a burial policy and weekly cash payments for the sick.
What many people today remember about the Order of Twelve is an institution founded in Mound Bayou, Misssissippi in 1942 – the Taborian Hospital. Michael Premo, a Story Corps facilitator, posted his appreciation for the impact that the Taborian Hospital had on the lives of African-Americans living in the Mississippi Delta from the 1940s-1960s. The Taborian Hospital was on the Mississippi Heritage Trust’s 10 Most Endangered List of 2000, and an update to that list indicates that the hospital still stands vacant and seeks funding for renovation. Here are some photos of the Taborian Hospital today.

SOME ADDITIONAL INTERESTING INFORMATION ABOUT MOSES DICKSON
Moses Dickson, prior to the Civil War was a traveling barber. Later he became an AME minister and was known as Father Dickson.
He was one of the Founders of the Lincoln Institute, now Lincoln University in Jefferson City, Misouri.
In 1879 along with others such as James Milton Turner, John Wheeler and John Turner he helped create the Committee of Twenty Five, organized to set up temporary housing for the more than 10,000 travelers who passed through St. Louis each year.
He was President of the Refugee Relief Board in St. Louis which helped to shelter and feed 16,000 former slaves who relocated to Kansas.
Moses Dickson was the first Grand Lecturer of the Most Worhipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Missouri upon its foundation in 1865. He was the second Grand Master of this Grand Lodge and the Grand Secretary in 1869.
In 1876 Companion Moses dickson was elected Deputy Grand High Priest of the Grand Chapter of Holy Royal Arch Masons of Missouri and Jurisdiction.
Moses Dickson wrote the Ritual of Heroines of Jericho penning the “Master Mason’s Daughter,” the “True Kinsman,” and “Heroines of Jericho” degrees. It was sold and distributed by the Moses Dickson Regalia and Supply Co., Kansas City, Missouri and entered into the Library of Congress, Washington, D.C. in the year 1895.
The Knights of Liberty was organized by 12 Black Men in secret in August, 1846 in St. Louis, Missouri. They were also known as the Knights of Tabor or the International Order of Twelve. Tabor is a Biblical mountain in Israel where the Israelites won a big victory over the Canaanites.
Moses Dickson was a leader of the Underground Railroad. He and 47,000 other Knights enlisted in the Union Army as soon as Linclon authorized Black men to sign up.
Disbanded by the Civil War many of the Knights of Liberty reformed after the War was over into a benevolent fraternal society named the International Order of the Twelve Knights and Daughters of Tabor. Moses Dickson authored “International Order of Twelve 333 of Knights and Daughters of Tabor,” a book outlining the Constitution, Rules and Regulations of the Temples of the Uniform Rank of Tabor and Taborian Division.
Moses Dickson died on November 28, 1901. A truly remarkable man!

"They burned my hands."
Photo: Our team met Pah La Er* on a relief trip in Karen State earlier this year.
1.
Pah La Er*
was captured and tortured by the Myanmar Army.
It’s not easy viewing. But his story mustn't be left unseen.
Watch.
Share.
Respond.
*pseudonym used for safety.
2.
Niss
recently told our SEED staff an all-too familiar narrative.
“I studied in a government school for 9 years…they didn’t want the students to know how the Myanmar military committed violence against and killed our Shan people.”
Read how she’s working to help other kid’s dreams come true.
3.
Leaving
home behind again. But this time, the reason is worth celebrating.
Ten Rohingya refugee families, most led by mothers like Fatema, recently moved into their newly reconstructed homes. Built by you, to keep them safe and dry.
4.
Pest control
isn’t usually in our wheelhouse.
Until kids in Newroz and Roj camps in Northeast Syria start suffering sores from infected fly bites.
Then it’s our thing.
With your help, these pesky flies are biting the dust.

scenes that make our hearts sing.
Our local partner Inhalation of Hope’s most recent 3-month trauma care session has wrapped up with what all kids deserve: a celebration.

Kids who have experienced the trauma of war smiling again is just another sign this hope-filled work you’re a part of is truly transformative.

absolutely HATE that Midnight Suns is not available in my country, I've been looking forward to that game for more than a year and I've been hyping it up for my friends and was in general so happy about it being made
Illyana and Nico are two of my most beloved characters in comics (I mean come on, a russian mutie dragged to hell at a young age and a an asian goth witch that had to run away from her family - they are basically me!!!)
the cinematics were great, all the promo I ate up and in general it was like a game made for me because I love turn-based combat in recent years
and now I can't play it?? y'all americans will literally send billions to support Israel but won't let russians who have been protesting and fighting against their tyrant for a dozen of years play a videogame? god I absolutely hate hypocrites
I will find a way to play it eventually but it frustrates me so much because it was the only distracting joy I've been looking forward to, I haven't been able to enjoy any videogames or other hobbies of mine because I am too depressed hearing daily about my friends and acquaintances in Ukraine getting bombed and having their electricity and water cut!!! I can't do shit about this war, P*tin has destroyed my indigenous culture and land and is now taking on other places and I've been pushing against him for years for zero results and I can't even have a single moment of joy in my life because it's all in vain!!!!! I can't even get out of my bed most days because none of my efforts so far have helped or mattered and I can only drown in guilt that my disabled ass can't do more! I HATE EVERYTHING
#and I can't even pirate it because they denuvo'd the shit out of it#firaxis and other companies you will rot in hell#hell doesn't exist but I will make it exist just for you#if you want to support people in Ukraine how about you SUPPORT PEOPLE IN UKRAINE instead of cutting off people in r*ssia#most of you spineless bitches have not donated a single coin to Ukrainian relief funds or helped refugees#but will pretend to be righteous and put UA flag next to your company's social media account#while fully supporting Israel#just a bunch of idiots

Ok, realised I can just post the link without some of the dubious comments underneath:
The click shows that you have viewed ads I think. They also have versions for a lot of charities and ngos. Cool idea, reminds me of the free rice game.
Click revenue goes to UNRWA I believe
Just thought people might want to know it exists. I know I feel very helpless a lot of the time with all the horrible things that happen in the world, so having a chance to help out even from so far away is big
