hey! there's zero esims left for the connecting gaza campaign as of today. i remember you promoting them earlier. could you give them a much needed boost?

oh dang! unfamiliar with that particular campaign, as I always donate via crips for e-sims because it's super easy to do, but regardless let's go people!

Palestinian Fundraisers to Boost

I've received a lot of asks reaching out for help with these fundraisers, and instead of posting them all individually I feel it would be more effective to put them all in one post. If you have anything to give, please donate to these campaigns, and please help spread this regardless! Campaigns under halfway to their goal in red, around the halfway point in yellow, and close to their goal in green.

Recently learned that apparently the budget for Jupiter Ascending was halved in the middle of development and that the original vision apparently couldn't be realized because of it and like... what could they have done with the full budget?! What would that film even have looked like?? What did we miss out on?? Also, Mila Kunis knew from the start it would flop but still stuck with it, and Eddie Redmayne got a razzie for it but said he's never had as much freedom with a preformance and it was 'freeing' (and like honestly his performance was fantastic, I LOVE him as this over the top melodramatic messy bitch). Like my GOSH this film is a phenomenon and I want to live in the version of reality where they DID have the full budget and we get to go on THAT trip. Honestly the world was just not ready for Jupiter Ascending and it still is not ready it seems and I am sad about it.
