New Gaza fundraiser asks I've received (26 August)

Ayman Sharif (@aymanelsharif): Ayman has 6 children. His child Mohammed (6) has a problem with his eyesight and is at risk of losing his vision if he doesn’t get surgery soon! However, since all the hospitals in Gaza have been destroyed, they will have to go to Egypt to get the surgery he needs. A lot of children children are also contracting hepatitis due to the unsanitary environment and they have all lost a lot of weight. Please help them evacuate! (https://gofund.me/0ff8b798) (#244 on the verified fundraiser list by el-shab-hussein and nabulsi.)

Jawad & Farouz (jawad236): Jawad and Farouz have two children: Muhammad (4) and Ahmed (10 months old). Their home has been destroyed, they have lost their source of income, and are now displaced. They are raising funds to buy daily basic necessities, medicine, shelter, evacuate and start a life in a new country. (https://gofund.me/bc231514) (#655 on the Butterfly Effect Project verified campaign list.) 

(@falestine-yousef)

Mohamad Smeer (@mohamadsmeer34): Mohamad is a palestinian medical student studying in Egypt right now. He has lost contact with his family since October 7 and his house has been bombed. He is trying to raise funds to cover his studying expenses. (https://gofund.me/db622b3a) (UNVETTED but seems legit. This is his Instagram: @mohamadsmeer and it has links to the same gfm campaign. His Instagram has been active since 2017 and he has posts that are geotagged in Gaza.) 

Rawan Shihada (@rawanshihada11): Rawan lives with her parents and 4 siblings. She is a renewable energy engineer, graduated in 2022 and already has a published paper. She dreams of doing a master’s degree. However now their home is destroyed and they have been displaced 6 times. Her brother Karam is a medical doctor, her sister Ruba is a software engineer, and her youngest sister Tala is 17, a secondary school student but the war has obstructed her education. They are trying to evacuate out of Gaza. (https://gofund.me/741d42ef) (UNVETTED but likely legit, see post here. @/catboymoses has managed to find Rawan on both LinkedIn and ResearchGate and has messaged her to confirm that this is her Tumblr account and fundraiser.)

Falestine (@falestine-yousef): Falestine has a 3-month-old son called Youssef that she gave birth to during this war. She cannot provide enough milk, medicine and other basic necessities for the baby. Due to the horrible conditions and the loss of their homes, her father suffered a stroke and her mother is suffering from chronic diseases and needs treatment. They are raising funds to evacuate out of Gaza and buy daily necessities. (https://gofund.me/77ca82d7) (shared by 90-ghost) (additional info on Falestine and her sisters)

Prompt 26 - New

@jegulus-microfic August 26, Word count 520

Previous part First Wolfstar part

“Okay, so we’ve found and destroyed two. How many more do you think there are?” Sirius asked Regulus as soon as he and James had returned to the camp. Regulus stared at Sirius incredulously.

“How am I supposed to know that?” 

“Well, you were his little follower. Surely there was something he let slip?” Sirius pressed. Regulus chewed his lip as he thought. 

“Not really, he just kept going on about blood purity and power. He spoke a lot about power. He said we should be always in power, over and over. He was obsessed,” Regulus racked his brain for anything else that might be helpful, but he knew very little about Voldemort apart from his abhorrent grammar.

“Always in power, where have I heard that before?” Sirius was pacing back and forth along the tree line, muttering to himself. “Always, always in power. Power, power, always in…” His head snapped up. That’s a family motto!” Sirius’s eyes stared into Regulus’s as though they held the answer. “Old, old family. Damn it, I can almost see it in that damn family's history book. Always in Power. It’s not the Carrows, maybe Selwyn. No, No, it’s the Gaunts! It’s the Gaunt family motto!” Sirius exclaimed excitedly. “The Gaunts are basically gone, there’s not been a new one born for decades. There’s only Morfin left and he’s in Azkaban. There was a huge thing about it. He killed a whole family of muggles. I’d have to look it up, but yeah, why is Voldemort spouting Gaunt words?"

“When was that?” James asked. “I don’t remember that.”

“It was before we were born in like the 40s,” Sirius waved James’s question off. 

“Riddle’s diary was dated 1943,” Regulus whispered. “What if he had something to do with it? The murders? If he’s related to the Gaunts, it would explain a lot. They were direct descendants of Slytherin and a lot of them spoke Parselmouth.” Regulus’s brain was sorting through the information as quickly as it could. “That article you read, Sirius, it might be worth trying to track down, it might be important.”

“Those records are going to be hard to get into at the Daily Prophet without drawing attention,” Remus, who up until then had let Sirius and Regulus bounce ideas off each other, spoke up. “You’re meant to be dead,” He pointed at Regulus. “You and I are missing and presumed dead,” He pointed at Sirius. “You’re a gobby werewolf who wouldn't even get through the front door,” He jabbed at Marcus. “And if James Potter starts asking about a specific incident involving the last member of an ancient pureblood wizarding family, someone’s going to start asking questions.”

“So what do you propose?” Regulus snarked.   

“Can you remember where you read it, Sirius?” Remus asked, ignoring Regulus. Sirius screwed his face up in thought. 

“Oh, shit, James!” Sirius’s eyebrows shot up his face. “Monty showed it to me, it’s in your damn library!”

“Looks like we’re going home again, love,” James spoke softly beside Regulus while Sirius hopped around excitedly. 

“That damn elf is going to have a fit,” Regulus groaned.

August 26:

On the 26th of August, 1966, Donovan unleashed Sunshine Superman, his album.

All of a sudden, he didn't want to be Bobby Dylan anymore. Since Donovan is known well as an artist with a very steep peak in his popularity over time curve, you can't help but wonder whether Mr. Leitch if he'd stayed with the folk and hadn't pioneered psychedelia, whether he might have had a longer career.

On the 26th of August, 1981, Devo sprung upon us New Traditionalists, their fourth studio album.

Now, I like "Through Being Cool," but if the album's Wikipedia page is any indication, the band at the time felt that their new album was a conscious repudiation of the popular success they had found with Freedom of Choice.

On this date in 1992, Shonen Knife released their major label debut, Lets Knife.

On the 26th of August, 1997, Altamont issued Wanted Dead Or Alive, their debut EP.

Altamont were a side project of Melvins drummer Dale Crover, who played guitar in this band, as he teamed with two members of Acid King

By the time the Works Progress Administration ended in 1943, it had provided jobs for 8.5 million Americans during the worst of the Great Depression--and created thousands of buildings, works of art, and other projects. When it went into effect in 1933, New York ordered its (male) relief recipients to "go to work or go to jail."

Here, hundreds of applicants line up to register for WPA jobs on August 26, 1933 in one of the bureaus set up by the agency. The administrator of this location said he had no doubt that he would meet his quota of 20,000 new workers for the week.

What Joe Biden and Kamala Harris did in 2024.

I started this project back in January and for most of a year, every week, I came up with the highlights of what the Biden-Harris Administration did. I did it because it felt to me our media and national conversion was broken, our government was doing huge things that it felt like almost no one knew about. It's amazing how often I struggled to find a single news source that wanted to cover a huge life changing project.

This is the last Friday before Election Day, and if you haven't already voted, take a minute to go back and look at the last 40 weeks, and decide, do you like these things or want literally the reverse on every issue.

Longtime ‘The Price Is Right’ Host Bob Barker Dies At 99

Longtime ‘The Price Is Right’ Host Bob Barker Dies At 99

Bob Barker, the longtime host of “The Price Is Right,” has died at the age of 99, his publicist told NBC News.

For decades, he was an ever-present personality on American TV screens, with an affable manner and an apparent tendency to be easily amused.

Barker, a Navy veteran, began his career in broadcasting in 1950 with a radio show titled “The Bob Barker Show.” His first television game show gig came in 1956 when he became the host of “Truth or Consequences,” the longest-running game show before “The Price Is Right” took the title.
