Hi, guys. I try to keep my personal life off of here for the most part, but my partner and I have experienced a pretty bad blow, and I don't know what else to do. On Friday a private yacht backed into our sailboat, the Nautilus, with enough force to move the concrete dock we were tied to. The main mast was snapped in half, and we're still waiting to learn how bad the damage to the hull is.

We've worked on the Nautilus for years now as her crew, and this spring we put every cent we've been able to save over the last decade into buying her. All of our time has gone into sailing and maintaining her, and running our charter business - and now she's out of commission for the foreseeable future. Insurance will hopefully help, but we don't know anything concrete yet. The best case scenario is that with 8-9 months of work, we can have Nautilus sailing again by next summer - but in the meantime we still have the vessel's loan payments, and our own living expenses, and no source of income, let alone the repairs we'll need to begin sooner rather than later if we can hope to get her seaworthy by next summer.

I know things are hard for everyone right now, and I know we are incredibly lucky no one was hurt. One way or another Crow and I will get through this, and be okay, so please don't feel guilty for passing this by. But if you are inclined to help us get through the next few months, by donating or by sharing our fundraiser, I would be more grateful than I can express. I will be posting updates, photos, etc. on our Instagram page at nautilusmaine as we learn more, if anyone would like to follow along with what is hopefully the journey to rebuild her.

“People are inherently terrible” no!!! Have you ever seen a child wait for their friend while they tie their shoelaces? Have you ever known someone who would bring hurt squirrels and rabbits and mice to the nearest vet just so it doesn’t suffer? Have you seen someone grieve? Have you ever read something that hit your heart like a freight train? Have you looked at the stars and felt an unexplainable joy? Have you ever baked bread? Have you shared a meal with a friend? Have you not seen it? All the love? All the good? I know it’s hard to see sometimes, I know there’s pain everywhere. But look, there’s a child helping another up after a hard fall. Look, there’s someone giving their umbrella to a stranger. Look, there’s someone admiring the spring flowers. Look, there’s good, there’s good, there’s good. Look!!!!

Hello, thank you for reading this. I'm making another post on behalf of @ibrahim-alhayek and I urge you to follow his account both on tumblr and on instagram if you can HERE. If you can help by sharing his family's fundraiser and making your own posts too you would be making a world of difference. I know concern is high about vetting fundraisers, and I cannot provide that information with authority as I am not Palestinian myself nor Arabic-speaking, so I will just assure you that his fundraiser can be regarded as vetted by association with his niece, Yasmeen Khaled (insta account HERE), who's fundraiser is verified by Operation Olive Branch. Please do not dismiss them out of hand, the availability for vetting resources has reduced and Ibrahim's family is not any less deserving of life. I am including all the links if you want to boost, follow, verify, and reach out and I urge you to do so.

The above is the fundraiser I assisted in organizing with Ibrahim and his son, Abdelrahman (instamgram account HERE) I will leave you with Yaser's words.

"Abdelrahman writes, 

Below is the story from my brothers, Yaser and Farah, explaining our situation:

“Hello, this is Yaser, and I’m speaking alongside my sister, Farah. Life here in Gaza has been devastating, and it’s getting harder by the day. Our school, home, and even our football club have been destroyed, leaving us to focus on survival instead of our future.

I was in my last year of high school, preparing for university, but now my studies are on hold indefinitely. I’m helping my father provide for the family, but it’s a struggle every day.

Farah, our creative spirit, used to fill our home with her art. But now, with our house in ruins, it’s not just the physical loss—her creativity and hope have been shattered too.

Our older sister, Ameera, is trying to keep us together. Her young daughters, Kenzie and Hala, have been scarred by this war. Kenzie no longer laughs the way she used to, and Hala, still so little, has faced illness after illness.

Our parents, Ibrahim and Sawsan, have sacrificed everything for us, but their strength is fading under the weight of these circumstances. Our home was more than a shelter—it was our safe place. Now, we have nothing left but each other.

We’re asking for help to meet our daily needs, rebuild our lives, and support our family through this tough time. It’s a lot to ask, but we’re hoping there are compassionate people willing to help us get through this and move toward a better future.

Thank you for your generosity, and for sharing and donating.” If you would like to help further and have access to a printer, you can print this flyer and hang it up around your city

there is no soul of an artist that distinguishes them from some 'non-artist' category of person that could simply never comprehend what it is like. anyone can make art. you should know this by now. from ratatouille

Love Zerith-var being like "I thought people in the cities would look at me weird" like nah man this is the second era. That dudes wearing a neon yellow bathing towel and feathered cap at the alchemy station, that girl is riding around the wayshrine on a glowing horse with 4 arms holding swords, there's a skeleton talking to the banker named "Beam Me Mommy". This shit just happens. You having glowing blue eyes is par for the course honestly
