Yo are there any Swedish larpers/ Swedish larp-interested people who would like to do a youth exchange to participate in a fantasy LARP in July near Gotheborg?

Their national exchange group is still missing some players and it's a really cool LARP - DM me for more details if you're interested.

It's a a few days of workshops plus a 3.5 day long fantasy LARP with cca 200 participants and all expenses covered if you go via the exchange.

This year we want participants that are already somewhat experienced with larp/dnd/performing, since the theme of workshops will be preparing little rituals and scenes to play out during the LARP days. If you have any cool skills/talents you could incorporate into that, that's really appreciated there.

Hey!

I discovered your blog yesterday and it truly made my day. I love your drawings, and I have also read all your delightful fanfics. They totally read like Pratchett, and I had to stifle my laugh, Patrician-like, because I was sitting in a doctor's waiting room when I was reading them. :-)))

Looking forward to all your future creations! And have a lovely (rest of the) day. :-)

Thank you so much! 💛 I might be finishing a new one ehehe

[higgsbison]

do you think you'll keep updating tar and tonic water? I'm obsessed with jean and I love your characterization of him and the humor in your fic!!

thank you 💛

I very likely will, but tbh I can't really promise any reasonable timeline of doing it, it will just happen when you least expect it, I fear 😔

SPREADSHEET OF PALESTINIAN ESCAPE FUNDS‼️TIME SENSITIVE

Operation Olive Branch is a continuously updating spreadsheet of Palestinian escape funds where progress towards their goals is being tracked. As of right now, there are over 100 funds listed there.

Any amount of money can make a difference. With their recent decision to bomb Rafah, the only remaining “safe” territory in Gaza, Israel has forced Palestinians into a corner by giving them nowhere else to go. The international community has given Israel the ability to act with impunity - it is long past the point in time to rely on those in power to hold Israel to any standard of compassion.

Today, I want you to look at this document, choose a fund, contribute to it, and share it. The people in Rafah are living on borrowed time. Free Palestine.

[higgsbison]

Canada, New Zealand, and Australia finally call for a ceasefire.

UPDATE AND PROOF OF PURCHASE!

Hussam has been out all day the past two days after the strikes on Rafah getting material for refugees. Since, again, there is a huge influx of refugees and the nights are quite cold, blankets are still very important so he bought another 300 for them to keep warm. These have yet to be distributed since he came home around Isha' (during the dark) and didn't have any time to give them out.

But in addition to the blankets, he's been buying other things! He bought 50 bags of flour (25 kilo) for people, as you can see in the video, and volunteers helped out by cooking 200 warm meals, both of which were already distributed!

Thanks so much for all your help!! You're helping keep families warm and fed during this terrible onslaught in Gaza!

For those of you who have been following this, my tumblr 'helpgazachildren' was deleted for unknown reasons. In the meantime, I put together this notion site to help document all the receipts and videos of updates for people who want a backlog of information. I will be continuously updating this site. Here is the archived version of the latest update.

Please consider donating today. Your donations go directly to people in need with NO middle man in between. No donation amount is too little, or if you're unable to donate please spread the link today!!!
