Hi all, Chanukah is a week away and we are completely broke. We have to pay the energy bill, wifi bill ($35), renew my phone plan (~$100 for 3 months), and I'd really love to afford groceries!
If you can spare anything and help us have a chanukah full of joy and free of worry, please send to:
Please share!

it really hurts me to see so many gazans asking us for help, though that's through no fault of their own. they've been forced to use a social media site that they're probably not familiar with (because tumblr has kind of faded out of popular consciousness), to interact with us in a second language, to distinguish themselves from the scammers who are taking advantage of genocide, and to ask strangers for help. i don't think there are any cultures where it's easy to ask for help like this, but i'm intimately familiar with how humiliating it can be in arab culture. please be kind, gracious and helpful to the gazans in your inbox. this is a desperate time for them, and in addition to the physical danger inflicted by "israel", the prices of basic resources in gaza are extremely high due to scarcity, and those that manage to escape to egypt are financially exploited by landlords there and have an extremely difficult time finding work due to their unofficial status as refugees. these families will continue to need our help and i hope we can all continue to provide it to the best of our ability.
vetted fundraisers from today. please keep sharing and donating as you're able, it really does so much; even if your individual action feels small, you are helping to save lives.

with the knowledge that sam specifically built the prison to mirror what tommy went through in exile, that explains the entire vibe that the prison.... was specifically made to scare tommy. not just because he once was supposed to be it's prisoner. but even as he walked those halls as a guest, the prison was meant to terrify him. the careful isolation in order to enter the prison- the only way out being through nether portals monitored and controlled by sam. having to drop all of his items when he arrived, just so he couldn't try anything. being killed over and over, even after he'd dropped all his items, just in case he had anything that could be used to fight back. sam's contract including a clause that stated tommy had to do everything he said without question, even if it meant killing himself, which put tommy completely at his mercy. (and even if he refused, sam could have just as easily killed tommy himself.) sam's words after poisoning tommy being, "I want you to be as low as possible and as weak as possible." forcing tommy to once again question his relationship with dream, out loud, to a friend he barely knows anymore. his unempathic march through the prison with tommy in tow, isolating him more and more with every locked room and fortified wall. and in the end, tommy's growing paranoia leading him to ask if sam would betray him, and sam's answer, "if I wanted to betray you, I would have done it already." no wonder sam felt off! no wonder he felt suspicious! in that moment, he was just as much tommy's warden as he was dream's. an uncaring overseer trained to keep his prisoners in their place. which makes it make so much more sense now that tommy was the first person to visit. it was meant to scare one person, and it did it's job perfectly. sam did his job as the warden perfectly. and tommy pushed through regardless. because today, tommy conquered more than just his fear of dream. he conquered his exile as a whole, and took one step further on the road to finally recovering from his trauma.
