I'm losing my mind at how slowly Iyad and Ruba's campaign is going. Can you just pay attention. Please. I know fundraising posts on your dash may blur together but please remember these are real people.
Iyad and Ruba's campaign was already going at a slow pace before this at only $100 per day but now it's barely getting 10 bucks. It has to support not one but TWO families now since Ruba can't access the money from her previous fundraisers. That's a total of at the least, 16 people.
Ruba is currently in the hospital and if you've been following the news, you know how dangerous it is for Gazans to be stuck in one place. And Iyad is currently having heart problems due to the tremendous stress of barely surviving under genocide.
You can help them. You can pay for their treatment. You can help feed them. Literally even just $1 helps. We got only 1 donation for the last 3 days. Anything helps.
They are both on the Vetted Gaza Fundraiser Spreadsheet by @/nabulsi and @/el-shab-hussein. You can check for yourselves but keep in mind the links have not been updated to their current situation. Read about that here
Regardless of what you think about generative AI in general, NaNoWriMo allowing AI-generated works is beyond stupid because that completely defeats the purpose of the challenge, which is for you, a human being, to write 50,000 words in a month. Yeah, that's hard. That's why it's a challenge. Where is the challenge when you can ask a chatbot to spit out 50,000 words of whatthefuckever for you? Even if you think that is a legitimate way to produce fiction, even if you don't care about the ethics of training on stolen works... where's the challenge? What's left of NaNo at that point?
This weekend, Radio TV Solutions will be holding a 3 day marathon fundraiser event for the people of Palestine.
All weekend long, we will be streaming a variety of games and events in an effort to raise money for on-the-ground aid groups and direct Palestinian support campaigns.
The event will not be a traditional stream fundraiser, rather than pointing people at one donation point, we will be suggesting many different support recipients, and you may donate to any of them. You can then submit your donation amount to be tallied into our rough total.
The information document detailing suggested groups/campaigns to support will open up closer to when the event starts, as well as a schedule of events for the weekend. The event will be hosted on my twitch channel, where http://stream.rtvsfundraiser.live/ links to.
Lastly, if you know of any GoFundMe's or similar site campaigns for Palestinians that you trust as legitimate, please send an e-mail to [email protected] with links and details, and I will add as many as I can to the event document.
Please tune in and support however you can, whether that be through donations, spreading the word, anything and everything helps. Even if you can't or don't want to tune in, please consider donating. See you this weekend!
Hussam managed to put together 100 packages of vegetables for the families in Rafah camps. They were happy about this because vegetables are quite expensive in the markets.
The packages includes tomatoes, potatoes, cucumbers, eggplant, lemon, and jalapenos.
Thanks again, everyone, for your continued support. Donate here to make a direct impact to people in Rafah camps with NO middle man in between.

Today 40 Palestinians died in an Israeli shelling of homes in central Gaza, while more than 100 were severely injured (majority women and children). Yesterday Israel bombed Syria, killing two. Israel also bombed Lebanon, killing a woman and a girl.
Just to be crystal clear—Israel is now simultaneously bombing Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria.
