My partner and I were just talking about how donations have slowed since the ceasefire and how we want to donate. Thank you for the update, we'll be donating something soon. I think it can be hard for those of us safely far away to not realize how much devestation needs repairing and healing and how much money that actually requires under capitalism. To anyone reading this, please donate, even if that's just a few minutes of your time taking about how much help is needed still and sharing/boosting mutual aid efforts. ❤️

I can't donate but here are some fun facts for algorithm boost: 1. It would take nine years to walk to the moon. 2. Mars is called the Red Planet because of its red coloring, which comes from the large amount of iron oxide – known on Earth as rust – on the planet’s surface. 3. Mercury’s temperature varies from -280° F on its night side to 800° F during the day. 4. If you can spot the Andromeda Galaxy with your naked eyes, you can see something 14.7 billion billion miles away. 5. The Sun is 400 times larger than the Moon, but also 400 times as far away, making both objects appear to be the same size in our sky. 6. Jupiter is the largest planet. It could contain the other seven planets in just 70 percent of its volume. 7. Stars don’t twinkle until their light passes through Earth’s atmosphere. 8. If Earth were the size of a tennis ball, the Sun would be a sphere 24 feet across, approximately 0.5 mile away. 9. Of the 9,113 official features on the Moon, a mere 421 (4.6 percent) are not craters. 10. Driving a car to the nearest star at 70 mph would take more than 356 billion years.

Gah, it is really great that creators like Tara and others like Majority Report have chosen individual families to direct funds toward. It is absolutely important for general aid to exist but I think it is good also to not only put a face to the "tragedy" (which many of us already understand, but it still helps in choosing where to direct attention), but also to know that what you're doing is actually meaningfully helping someone instead of being held behind red tape or blockades.

Thank you for sharing this update. I have been so upset anytime I see news about Gaza (and Palestine overall) because I can’t believe it’s 2025 and we are standing by as people are m*rd*red but news like this gives me hope💕

UPDATE! I posted a video in November fundraising for a family in Gaza. Some of you have been asking how Ahmed and his family are doing, here's what he said: "My family and I are now trying to reach the north. We went from Khan Younis to Nuseirat (middle of the strip) to now walking to the north of Gaza city."
If you'd like to keep updated on Ahmed & his family here's his instagram: www.instagram.com/ahmedmateer/
If you're interested in donating here's his family's PayPal: www.paypal.com/paypalme/Ahmedmatar25?fbclid=PAZXh0…

I hope it goes without saying that if you're not in a position to donate, take care of yourself first. There's a lot of tragedy occurring all over the world. I hope you & your loved ones are safe and happy.
Love Tara, Siggy, Mr. Ella & The Cow
