Echoweb2 - ♤

dear people with OCD: the next time you have spiraling & intrusive thoughts, what-ifs, or catastrophizing scenarios, I am sending a cardigan-wearing 46-year old NYU professor directly into your brain and he says "Aaaaand scene!!!" and he claps his hands slowly. and he says "Wow. Wow. Powerful stuff. Evocative imagery. A little bit post-modern, a little bit hysterical realism in the vein of Don Delilo but let's pause right here." and you will recognize your thoughts as a perplexing avant-garde film shown to an audience of 15 liberal arts students who are now trying to get a good grade and sleep with their professor.

And donate to ANERA if you have the means! 🍉

Good news! Firas (read more about him in my post here and @/riding-with-the-wild-hunt slightly better post here) has achieved his goal of 4,100 CAD to pay off his and his sister's university fees for their second semester! They will continue their education to become doctors in Egypt for at least one more year. Bad news, his fundraiser seemed to be completely stagnant since he hit that goal, which was 16 hours ago. But reminder:

HIS GOFUNDME CLOSES ON AUG 17TH.

That is literally just 3 weeks away. And when a gofundme closes, all the money is refunded to the supporters, which would practically put Firas back to square one.

Furthermore, his goal is 82,000 CAD (~59,000 USD) , and he again has only 4,100 CAD so far. Firas needs this 82k to get his 6-person family out of North Gaza. Which includes his father, his brother, and three children.

Don't stop now since he met this one goal. Firas' family still needs your support and donations to evacuate. They are completely unable to make any money after Firas' father construction company was destroyed via airstrike. They don't have medicine, food, water or electricity. They are in a warzone and are in constant threat of bombing.

Firas and his sister Nisreen becoming doctors one day was a source hope for the Muhaisen family. Let the Muhaisen family surviving and evacuating out of Gaza be a source of hope for the siblings as they work to be doctors in Egypt.

If you can donate in any way, please do. Your small donation can go much farther if you donate in a currency larger that CAD (USD or EUR, for example.) And if you need further incentive, @/marnota is doing anthro art commissions for 5 CAD and up.

I love when trauma makes characters messy. I love when characters don't know how to show love. I love when they lash out. I love when they're vile and break down. I love characters who aren't perfect victims. I love when stories don't excuse behaviour but allow you to understand it

Please help Rawan, Yemna, and their family! They are still far from their goal of kr319,315 SEK (~$30,000) to evacuate from Gaza; they have currently raised kr97,184 SEK / kr319,315. However, with your help we can change that - every dollar counts no matter how little!!! Together, we can all help the Abudaya family!!
