i am BEGGING indie musicians to stop using AI art for album and single covers, even if it's the background of the art and someone drew over it. it really isn't cute or kind to your fellow creatives.
Hey folks!
So, if you need to do some grocery shopping and would like your dollars to go towards Palestinian, Lebanese, or other MENA-based companies, here's a thread i'm working on!
My stomach is in knotsโฆthis is a lot to deal with for us, and I know it is for a lot of you. Please be gentle with each other and with yourselves. Take some time off of social media today, if you needโIโm going to. Do something that makes you smile. Be well, everyone.
I canโt say anything thatโs not already been said, but I just wanna make it clear that the victims of Elli*tโs rancid behavior are incredibly brave & deserving of love &support. victim-blaming, shaming, or minimizing wonโt be toleratedโ& neither will anyone twisting the situation
Thank you to everyone who had a hand in making Hoyoverse aware of this horrible situation--you were clearly heard and considered. This is a step in the right direction, and I hope it gives some of the victims even a little peace ๐๐ผ
Hi!
VAs opposed to having their voices fed to AI aren't greedy fun ruiners. They're protecting their literal jobs
VAs are by & large NOT rich
Attacking VAs for saying "don't synthesize my voice & make it say stuff that's inappropriate/violates contracts I am bound to" is NOT cool
man...don't grow up. yes, please learn how to communicate effectively & kindly, how to process your emotions, & how to handle the logistics of life. but please, please don't EVER give up your enthusiasm for the nerdy things that bring you joy just bc it seems like you should โค๏ธ

getting back into playing Genshin, and man i love the revival system. go up to your friendโs unconscious, battered body on the battlefield and just pour hot miso soup down their throat while youโre trying to dodge attacks. they will wake up!!! donโt worry!!!

Update: she is obsessed with Yaoyao and she drew her so well ๐ฅน
Guys she, a 3rd grader, is literally drawing better than I ever could in /5th grade/. I'm so proud of my little artist ๐ญ๐ญ๐๐๐

another day, another audition i was excited for until i realized they meant "East Asian" when they said "Asian"...no South Asian option on this database submission form, so I continue to get auditions for East Asian characters despite "Asian" being a v broad umbrella term (contd)

With all thatโs happening, I will not be doing a Lantern Rite stream. It doesnโt feel right. I have an immense amount of privilege to be part of such a cool game & be able to stream it, but I think my privilege would be put to better use amplifying the voices of the suffering. โฅ๏ธ
Though I wasnโt part of Sumeru, having been trusted with Yaoyao, being part of the Dendro fam, & having been โadoptedโ by the Sumeru cast has been a life-changing experience for me.

A happy, happy birthday to miss Yaoyao, the lil gal who made me feel validated in my voiceover career, and who will always have a special place in my heart!
To celebrate, I'm launching this CNY-inspired print of her I created on my Streamily page (link below!)

put together a little sampling of my dear sweet Ayla's voicelines in
#PGR
! i had a blast with this girlie ๐
she's a little sus, but she's got the spirit!
yo idk about you all but i would actually cry if studios removed the option to have VAs record remotelyโnot that theyโd care. thereโs not a chance iโll be able to move to LA, TX or NY any time soon, and i honestly just felt like i was starting to get somewhere with VO.
1. Baba's
Palestinian-American owned and operated company based in Minnesota. They make hummus and pita bites!
They seem to only be available in grocery stores in the Midwest at the moment from what I could find, but you can order online from their site
If you're a white supremacist, a proud boy, or even find yourself seeing eye-to-eye with bits and pieces of their views, go ahead and unfollow me. this space is not only not for you, it is actively and vehemently against you.
2. Cedar's Foods
Lebanese-American company that sources some of their products from Lebanon (like their olive oil). They also make hommus, baba ghannouj, tabouleh, and labneh.
In many grocery chains across the US, & you can also order directly online
โผ๏ธ 3. Zaytoun
They have dates, olive oil, spice blends, &more. This is a REALLY GOOD ONE.
Based in the UK and in stores/shipping to the UK and Ireland, 100% of profits go towards building community and supporting ethical and fair trade in Palestine.

People love to exaggerate certain parts of a story and minimize others, especially online and on this platform. Donโt let any hot takes, nitpicking or conspiracy theories distract from the issue at handโwhat the victims had to go through. I see you and support you.
5. Ziyad
A Palestinian-Syrian owned food brand originally based on Chicago's South Side (ayyy!), they sell a TON of different products from oils, to snacks, canned products, spices, & more!
They donate to Gaza relief, & can be found in stores and online.
i remember a commenter on my old chicago reacts genshin video that kept dogging english vas & saying "if she gets offended that ppl don't like english dubs, she probably isn't a very good va, & she prob won't get into the game at this point"
this one goes out to all my homies tbh
โผ๏ธ 4. Al'ard
Similar to Zaytoun, but available to folks in the US. Member of the Int'l Fair Trade Association. Money goes to providing training and extra support for Palestinian agricultural communities.
You can order online! (I just bought olive oil!)
discourse about remote VO work again?
hi. hiring remote = accessibility, inclusivity, access to more diverse talent, a more even playing field.
yes, i know the challenges on the studiosโ end.
please donโt shut out remote actors. itโs so much harder for us, and doesnโt have to be.
for the record, lest anyone think otherwise: i feel sorry that the creator of the art is upset. that sucks, and i can guarantee you was never the intent. this is for the people who are quick to judge a silly joke as malicious without using critical thinking. Ashe is a sweetheart.

iโm actually serious (even if i canโt be serious for one second)
hey you out there. youโre valid. saying this because it took me a while to realize that i was. ๐
iโm sorry, but one directorโs opinion will not change how hard i fight for or how loudly i speak about human rights. and, as a queer person of color, my existence could be considered โactivismโ by some. no. art moves along social change, far be it from me to stand in its way.
I know it's the easiest and most affordable option, but it's also so easy to find great artists on IG, Twitter, etc. Also, chances are you have fans who are artists and would love to work with you!
eeeeee itโs out, right on time before the new patch!
i LOVE when girly, silly little Ayla gets to be serious and a badass. thanks

folks, iโm going to be taking a hiatus from acting and voice acting (except for the occasional VO audition sent to my email) for a while. iโll post dates when i know more, but i think itโs important i get some more intensive care for my mental health struggles.
as ALWAYS, do your own research about Palestinian owned businesses in your area (restaurants, grocery stores, etc) & *please* use caution when sharing info about businesses online. as much as sharing can help others support, it can also help those w/ malintent target maliciously.
I will continue to update this list as I find more info, but PLEASE do not hesitate to let me know if I've got any info wrong, if you have suggestions for other brands, etc.
not to be like this, but i hadn't noticed any physical changes in my body since I starting lifting again...until i was putting up my hair on webcam before a meeting today (ignore my weird cringe face lololol). i'm proud of myself!!
