NYC Street Finds 4.1.24-4.21.24 1 Of 3

a really great organization that i don't see any posts about here is HEAL palestine. it was founded by steve sosebee, who was a founding president of the PCRF before leaving in late 2023 to refocus his efforts on heal palestine to better meet the needs of palestinians impacted by the genocide. the organization provides palestinians in gaza with food, clean water, shelters, "makeshift classrooms," and even medical evacuation for some children when it's possible--their services are pretty wide.

you can donate here if you would like to send a tax-deductible donation to an organization. also, i don't think any evacuations are possible right now, but if you're in the united states and you'd like to welcome medically evacuated children in the future, i highly recommend signing up for their newsletter or following them on social media so you can stay updated in case any children evacuated by HEAL come to your area for treatment. welcoming these kids at the airport is a really moving way to provide them with moral support, entirely for free.

reed of the lists and warnings. the demo goes up to the end of stage 3. time of completion varies, but it’s roughly bit less than an hour

many many thanks to my co-writer who'd like to remain undisclosed, and @alconteh who helped me animate a scene near the end of Garoa’s scenario. please support Al's work and attend to their twitch streams if you can 💚

its crazy how much the term 'ai' has wormed its way into peoples brains that any use of it is means for panic. 'ai voice' have we forgotten tts has existed for maybe 50 years.

PLEASE SHARE WIDELY!

Currently the situation in Gaza is dire--crossings are closed, making humanitarian aid difficult to reach, prices are rising, and there is no safe place to shelter. I have shared Nader's family's campaign on here before and hope you can share it and donate as well, especially if you are able to sleep safely at night and voted in the poll.

Close-up of a Fresnel lens

The Fresnel lens is a compact compound lens developed by the French physicist Augustin-Jean Fresnel during the 19th century for use as a lighthouse lens.

my friend Omar is still desperately in need of funds. he is living in a tent, often going entire day without eating and his mental health and suicidal ideation have been awful as conditions worsen. the prospect of escaping seems far off and now it is simply trying to afford food to last day to day. he has endured so much loss of his friends and teammates (he played football before the destruction and displacement) Omar is a selfless, community minded man, and a radiant presence in this world, struggling with depression and being crushed by this brutal occupation.

please help him out; he is on insta and appreciates anyone sharing his posts or kind words. he speaks often of how much people ignore you if you are Black and Palestinian. please don't ignore this and consider skipping one small thing in your day to day, anything, and directing that to this campaign instead.

his campaign is also verified by the butterfly effect project mutual aid collective on line 1044
