THIS SHIT WORKS OKAY, I AM DEAD SERIOUS.

The last time I saw this on my dash, I didn’t think it would happen, so jokingly I wished I could go to a fun. concert.

AND GUESS WHAT, I WENT TO A FUCKING FUN. CONCERT.

I SAW THIS ON MY DASH THE OTHER DAY AND THOUGHT “ITS WORTH A TRY” SO I WISHED I COULD GET A 3DS

LITERALLY LIKE 4 DAYS LATER MY DAD SENT ME A PICTURE OF THE 3DS XL HE BOUGHT FOR ME WHILE I WAS AT SCHOOL

GUYS.

HE FUCKING CALLED ME 20 MINUTES LATER

20 FUCKNG. MINUTES. LATER.

OCEAN May one explain what powdered milk doth be? Is it not gas? I live in constant fear.

NOT DEAD The water flees to air, the rest is left. The dry debris then forms the powdered milk.

OCEAN Thou sayest water doth reside in milk?

NOT DEAD Pray tell what thou believ’st the liquid is?

OCEAN Is milk not one pure substance in itself?

NOT DEAD No; ‘tis only milk-stuff mixed with water.

OCEAN Yet milk appears from living cows’ own tits!

NOT DEAD ‘Tis juice from tits, yet water still it holds. If water be in juice, then ‘tis in milk.

Enter DERIN, the scarlet pescatarian.

DERIN ‘Tis drops of fat afloat in water, As if ‘twas dressing for thy greens. With water gone, the powdered milk remains.

A NOTE attached to an arrow, written by BURNING BRAND, flies through the window.

BURNING BRAND’S NOTE Obsessed with he who foolishly believ’d That milk is element of chemistry.

The NOTE crumbles to ash. BURNING BRAND is not seen again.

OCEAN As he who instigated such a fight, I felt that this creation was my duty.

OCEAN unrolls a scroll of parchment with a flourish.

OCEAN Behold, ‘tis milk, one hundred and nineteen.

Enter JASON FUNDER BERKER, a frog.

JASON FUNDER BERKER And yet the burning question still remains: ‘Tis metal, not, or somewhere in between?

JASON FUNDER BERKER does not wait to hear the answer, and exits.

DERIN A lanthinide! A special case, I see. How fascinating, geometrically.  But let us leave atomic musings be. For milk is a rare metal of our Earth.

OCEAN Of course it is, for I am always right. My choices are, of course, deliberate.

DERIN I do not doubt thou speakest truth, my lord Thy brilliant mind is utterly unmatch’d. It seems that an agreement has been reach’d.

OCEAN Of course; however, in sincerity I wish to know thy scholar-driven thoughts.

DERIN I fear ‘twould be beyond thy comprehension. To teach to thee would take this much too far.

Exit OCEAN, in a huff. Enter JESIN, BOOP BOOP, FLIPOCRITE, VELVET, and LOVELY DREAMS, curious onlookers attracted to the scene.

JESIN Do teach us, it would not take this too far!

DERIN Ye all complain of learning strangely, Then ask me baiting questions such as this!

BOOP BOOP Thy gross ineptitude shall be my death! Milk is formed of small component parts. The fat, the sugars, proteins all combine They seep through pores of membranes in this drink Unpleasant compounds all are filter’d out. All this obtained for small amounts of coin.

DERIN No, milk is lanthanide, pray keep the pace.

FLIPOCRITE The word thou mean’st is lactanide, I think.

DERIN May sharpened pain-shaped stones fill up thy shoes So that thou never know’st a moment’s peace.

VELVET A cube of milk, three inches on each side Could blow up the entire galaxy.

DERIN Our galaxy was formed in such a fashion. ‘Tis why we gave it name of “Milky Way.”

LOVELY DREAMS Thus ends our entertainment for the night Here fools and pompous scholars come to fight.

Exuent, pursued by a cow.

samah’s original campaign and account are shared by 90-ghost, but it was shut down as her organiser’s bank account was deactivated

proof samah asked me to use my paypal / ko-fi account here

starryeyedgiant is the ko-fi link used to raise funds for ammar's weekly digoxin injection - he needs this on time every week by 4 pm tuesday samah's time, or he will need a more intensive $3k+ injection in addition to this one to avoid his heart giving out - in total requiring $5k+

currently, because it is winter, he also needs another immune globulin injection to keep his immunity up and protect him from winter illnesses

we have consistently failed to meet this deadline, and recently this has been getting even worse. almost no one has been donating, forcing more and more costs to incur - first the night time travel, then one for IV fluids, then one for an injection resuscitating him so he doesn't fall into a coma

we were given a final deadline yesterday where ammar would have lost consciousness and we wouldn't have been able to give him another injection. if that hadn't been paid, he probably would have died

and now, we are starting with $0 to cushion us for next week. i am very worried about him, and if people are going to let him die.

$0 / $2540

samah's gofundme campaign is focusing on raising the money for purchasing passports so that she and ammar may leave for egypt. samah was able to find a deal that lets her have a passport for both ammar and herself at once for $10k in cash

this will let her finally get him the heart surgery he desperately needs - as mentioned, the digoxin is only a temporary measure and the longer ammar is on it, the more it will also damage his heart. he can't take the injection for much longer

unfortunately, as mentioned, we have figured out the rates for what the bank is taking in fees when we send the money, and it means we need roughly $4k more than before to make up for what is lost

thus, the goal is now higher

edit: the goal is now higher again by $265.60 as samah was forced to use $239.70 from her bank to pay back a doctor. we only received $27.20 to make up for that, and therefore the total has changed from $30,791

and now it is higher again, as samah was forced to use $168.60 from the bank to pay back iv fluid costs no one else was willing to pay for. we only received $34 to return it, and therefore we need $168.20 to be added to the total

and for the third week in a fucking row, it is higher. samah had to use $71.16 from the bank to pay for the immune globulin injection, because this time no one even cared enough to raise money for this, and therefore we need $88.95 added to the total

$12,048 / $31,314

samah requires an inhaler in order to breathe properly, and without it has much difficulty doing so, leaving her very ill. previously she was able to freely obtain it from charities, but there has been no stock available recently

we are raising money for this on systemprotocol, as this is something we are uncertain if we will be able to obtain without money, and she needs it very badly - she is the only one capable of taking care of her husband and ammar, so being sick is extremely bad for her

one inhaler lasts her for 15-20 days and is $148 in cash - this is $417 after fees. i have set the goal for two of them as per her request, making it $810, but just one is sufficient for her

if she doesn't get this in time once she runs out, she will be forced to take a cortisone injection, which at $300 in cash is $845 total

$0 / $833

pwyw commissions for donating

the current cash conversion fee is 45%, with the paypal fee being 32%. everything is thus priced accordingly. breakdowns for prices are under the cut

$13,118 / $31,314

after almost 3 whole weeks, we finally were able to once again raise the full amount of ammar's weekly needs, and samah + her family were able to evacuate the hospital and return home after the urgent danger of israel threatening and bombing it

i also see that we were able to raise money for the gofundme campaign in the interim, and i'm quite grateful for that

we still need to raise $18,196 more to be able to buy a passport for samah and ammar, which is unfortunately quite a lot, but i hope small and steady donations will be able to raise this amount with patience

we now only have the final day left after today, and as always i will make the post for it on that day. i am rather worried as we currently do not have much raised in preparation for it, i hope we can raise what we need in time

For two years, war interrupted my education and future plans.

Despite everything, I completed my Bachelor's degree in Computer Systems Engineering and continued supporting students through educational initiatives in Gaza.

Today, I am taking the first step toward my Master's degree.

🎯 Goal: $300 ⏳ Deadline: 6 Days

This amount will help cover university application fees and the first steps toward graduate studies.

Missing these deadlines could mean postponing my dream for another year.

If you cannot donate, please share this post.

Every dollar brings me closer to continuing my education and helping others through it.

Today was supposed to be the final deadline, but after a difficult effort, I was granted just one extra day.

Thanks to your support, $166 of the $300 goal has been raised.

Only $134 remains.

This is more than a registration fee. It is the next step toward my Master's degree and the future I have been fighting to build despite everything.

I have one day left and no more extensions.

I have shared our story so many times because I don’t know any other way to help my family.

Some people may think posting online is easy, but it isn’t.

It is difficult to admit that you need help.

It is difficult to ask strangers to care.

It is difficult to keep hoping when support becomes slower and slower.

But I continue because my children are worth every attempt.

They deserve safety.

They deserve comfort.

They deserve the chance to enjoy simple things that many families take for granted.

So I am here again, asking you not to forget us.

If you can help, please do.

If you cannot, sharing our story can mean more than you imagine.

the only reason ammar is still alive right now is because a doctor took pity on him and bought him the injection before we raised enough money. the extended delays made ammar have his first seizure.

israel has also been bombing the hospital again, photos on this post - and their planes + drones are still circling the hospital now, threatening to shoot people. ammar, samah, and mahmoud are all outside in the courtyard and will be immediately wounded if they do so

we need to raise $1471 by tuesday 4 pm at gazan time, which is roughly about 50 hours from now. this is for his food, as well as his injection, and the iv fluids. this is now the bare minimum required to be urgently raised

if he doesn't get this by tuesday, he would need an intensive injection that costs $6k+ total alongside the fact he would need extra medicine and this original injection too

i have nothing else to say. donate as little as $3 or $5 for him, or you'll be letting him die. this is extremely time sensitive.

thank you to the people who generously donated, but we only raised $30 today

though the immune globulin injection is not yet delayed, the most pressing issue is that israel is still bombing the hospital

here is a video that samah provided from the latest news reporters, there continue to be airstrikes and the israeli planes have not stopped flying over the hospital

$1483 is still needed to be raised total, $1107 of which will be for ammar's immune globulin injection (and paying for the remainder of last week's iv fluids)

WE NEED THIS AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE SO THEY CAN EVACUATE

THE LONGER THEY STAY AT THIS HOSPITAL, THE MORE THEY RISK DEATH

THE HOSPITAL HAS ALREADY BEEN BOMBED WHILE THEY WERE HERE. THEY WERE LUCKY TO SURVIVE

please take this seriously and donate as much or as little as you can, but donate and encourage all your friends to donate even a small amount if possible - even $3 or $5 helps, because it will build up, but it requires many people to help

the immune globulin injection needs to be taken before 10 am wednesday gaza time, about 20 hours from now, but i am begging you not to wait until then.

ammar's birthday will also be on thursday, if that can additionally move you. please let him return home to celebrate it, instead of being forced to stay in a hospital courtyard, where he might die before he manages to reach that date.

THEY HAVE BEEN TOLD TO URGENTLY EVACUATE BY THE HOSPITAL BECAUSE OF THE DANGER.

ISRAEL IS BOMBING AROUND AND AT THE HOSPITAL. SHE SENT ME A VIDEO OF A DESTROYED CAR

THEY NEED DONATIONS NOW

THEY HAVE HAD TO GO INTO HIDING.

WE NEED $1403 MORE TO GET THEM OUT

I AM BEGGING YOU NOT TO LET AMMAR DIE THE DAY BEFORE HIS BIRTHDAY.

[3/6, 5:51 AM] Samah: Brother, please, the situation is dangerous, and they are telling us to leave the hospital. I beg you, have mercy on us.

[3/6, 6:47 AM] Samah: Brother, please reply. Ammar, Mahmoud, and I are hiding near the hospital. Please tell everyone that it's a matter of life or death. I don't want to lose Ammar on his second birthday. Please tell them to have mercy on us. The situation is very scary. 😭😭😭🙏

[3/, 6:47 AM] Samah: Please, brother, reply as soon as possible.

Prices in Gaza have started to rise unusually, and goods have almost disappeared from the markets. Types of vegetables are scarce and expensive, and meats have vanished from the markets too. I mean, what's happening is the beginning of a new famine; food is expensive and scarce in the markets!
