not Peter Cochran discouraging someone from creating a byron association in brasil because it would “attract lots of weird people” LMAOOOO

(source)

translation:

When we wrote him just over a year before his death, in the beginning of 2014, telling him that we were translating Don Juan and looking for information about the prospect of officially opening a Byron Association in Brazil, Cochran responded that an integral translation to Portuguese was important, because he knew there wasn’t any, and told me to focus on it and avoid thinking about an “association of byronists” in Brazil for the time being, since it would attract “lots of weird people”.

Dina ( @dina179 ) a young mother of three beautiful children- oldest of whom is just seven years old and youngest being a baby who was born in a tent with very little medical facilities available. With every single day that passes, her children lose the childhood they should be spending playing with other kids their age to this genocide.

Dina has been fundraising on this site since june of this year and has only been able to reach 30% of her goal. There is still a long way to go, but her campaign has been stagnating badly, with only $15 donated in the past 2 DAYS.

She has told me how she has been despairing at this state of things, and this fundraiser is her only hope in taking care of her children. Please don't let dina and her children noor (7 years), omar (5 years) and baby farah be forgotten- please donate anything you can spare to her fundraiser and help this family survive.
