[coldswarkids]

me, thinking about everything coming up for me in the next 60 days: i won't be on tumblr that much

me, thinking about me: i will be on tumblr the whole time wailing

[weeping-vintage-toes]

Lowkey, I'm really stressed out rn because I'm busy pretty much every day for the next 4 weeks

[wild-at-mind]

Goddamit I spent all my 20s so depressed, now in my mid-30s all I want is to have a nightlife suddenly.

I love drawing in charcoal because when you're in the beginning of a work, instead of looking like something reasonable it's perfectly acceptable and natural for them to look like this

[thesilversun]

So many comments to reply to on ao3. Meant to get start on it this evening - but it half past midnight now, so it’ll have to be in the morning.

Deadline Nov 28: Tawfik needs to pay his international student fees.

My other promos | Currently keeping up with here

Updated: Nov 21

Member(s): @dev-tawfik (current), @devtawfik (shadowbanned), @tawfikblog, @90-tawfik (shadowbanned)

Verification: @/90-ghost

Payment methods:

Gfm for education: PayPal, Venmo, Google Pay, credit/debit (donation match $10 USD)

Kofi for survival (mentioned here): PayPal, credit/debit. DO NOT DONATE HERE UNTIL AFTER NOV 28

Tawfik is a Palestinian currently taking online classes at an Egyptian university. His gfm campaign needs to reach $10,050 by Nov 28 so he can pay off his international student fees. Any additional funds in the gfm and Kofi will go towards the next semester's payments and family care respectively.

More info:

Nov 27: Tawfik has reached the Kofi goal to buy flu medication and a vaccine, so we are now focusing entirely on the gfm. He needs $10,050 by Nov 28 (hard deadline).

Update Nov 20: More details here. Tawfik has fallen ill with the flu and won't be online much. He needs USD $228 (fees included) for medications and a vaccine. This requires him to reach 71% of his goal on Kofi (which is specifically for non-education related needs). At the same time, he needs $10,050 in his gfm by Nov 28 to pay off his international student fees.

Update Nov 15: We reached the halfway goal for the international student fee of USD $9,050 by Nov 15. Now going for the full fee of $10,050 by Nov 28.

Update Nov 6:

Tawfik got an extension to Nov 30 to pay the international fee. New goals of USD $9,050 by Nov 15 and $10,050 by Nov 28 (to account for transfer time) were set. The final goal was reduced with some backup money. Grades will be withheld until payment is made.

Update Nov 5:

Currently, it seems impossible to raise the required funds ($10,050 - $10,150) by Nov 13. Tawfik has emailed his school to negotiate for more time.

Update Oct 29:

Now @dev-tawfik.

The next goal was $9,250 to pay off international student fees (due Nov 13, see math section below) that Tawfik just found out about.

The family urgently needed $1,000 for healthy food (Tawfik's father has health problems and needs vegetables).

Tawfik initially wanted to use the gfm money for education only as promised, but had to add the sum to the campaign goal (a total of $10,250) because the Kofi he made solely for his family wasn't receiving many donations early on.

There were some issues with the Kofi taking a few weeks to transfer funds, but that's been resolved. It is now for support of Tawfik's family and transfers money relatively quickly.

From Oct 17-27, we fundraised to $7,200 to buy some food for the family. This food money will last roughly 2 weeks.

We are focusing back on international student fees and set a short-term goal of $8,862 in the campaign by Nov 3. There will be another small goal set after this date.

We need roughly $10,050 (an estimate) in the campaign by Nov 13 (hard deadline). Again, this isn't a concrete number and involves some usage of Tawfik's backup money.

Campaign details:

Tawfik is a software engineering student in Palestine trying to continue his education by enrolling in online classes at an Egyptian university.

He already raised roughly USD $2,500 in late July through a now closed Paypal campaign and paid the school as an application and reservation fee. This is nonrefundable.

We fundraised $4,113 (5200 - 1087) and paid off his tuition for the year on Oct 7

The gfm is meant for education only. To support the family, donate to the Kofi. It no longer faces issues with long transfer times.

Tawfik has some extra leftover funds from paying off the tuition, but it isn't much and is to be used for emergencies.

Oct 17: Tawfik bought his textbooks ($800 incl fees → $6,000 in campaign) and got a small discount for being Palestinian. This money saved went into his emergency funds.

Math:

Please let me know if I screwed up the calculation somewhere.

The transfer fee is assumed to be ~$50 per $600 earned. My bad in earlier calculations where I set it after the bank fee rather than before.

Textbooks: base $600

Funds left after:

Gfm for 40 donations: 570.6

~$50 transfer fee: 520.13

12% Bank fee: 458.13

To cover the funds lost to fees, we need an extra $200 (assumed 15 donations). After fees on that, it's only $166 (enough to cover the short-term goal)

So we need 600 + 200 = $800 for the textbooks.

This is $6,000 in the campaign.

Slightly outdated: International student fees: base $2,423

900£ = USD $1,180.93

60k EGP = USD $1,241.29

Funds left after:

Gfm fees for 160 donations: 2304.74

Transfer fee, ~$200: 2,104.74

12% Bank fee: 1852.17

To cover the funds lost to fees, we need an extra $800 (assumed 55 donations). After fees on that, it's only $625 (enough to cover the short-term goal)

So we need 2423 + 800 = $3,223 for the international student fee.

This is $9,223 10,223 in the campaign, rounded up to $ 9,250 10,250

The rate of ~$100 daily is sufficient to get us to this goal before the deadline of Nov 13 (this accounts for the 2 days needed for transfers)

For people still in denial whether Israel has committed war crimes, here is a comprehensive list of war crimes Israel has committed both before and after Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, the list being taken from the Wikipedia article of war crimes with some notable missing examples being the usage of chemical weapons, famine, disease and apartheid.

The Worlds Of Terry Pratchett - At the British Library

[Event News]

The Worlds of Terry Pratchett: with Neil Gaiman and Rob Wilkins at The British Library

Date: Tue 21 Nov 2023, 19:00 - 20:30 (Bar opens at 18:00)

Location: Pigott Theatre, The Knowledge Centre, The British Library, 96 Euston Road, London, NW1 2DB

A special celebration of the remarkable creative life of Sir Terry Pratchett, 40 years after the publication of the first Discworld novel The Colour of Magic.

This event takes place in the British Library and will be simultaneously live streamed on the British Library platform. Tickets may be booked either to attend in person, or to watch on our platform (online) either live or within 48 hours on catch up. Viewing links will be sent out shortly before the event.

Soon after The Colour of Magic was published, it inspired a young journalist Neil Gaiman to meet Terry, beginning a long collaborative friendship that was epitomised by their joint novel Good Omens, which appeared in 1990. The TV version of Good Omens was created by Neil Gaiman, with the first season on screen in 2019 and the second earlier this year.

Neil is joined Terry Pratchett’s biographer and former assistant Rob Wilkins, in a conversation hosted by Kat Brown.

We'll be sat intently listening and cheering Rob on from the cheap seats!

This event is an In Person and Online event.

Tickets are available from:

Deadline Nov 30: Abdulrahman needs to pay off part of his tuition.

My other promos

Updated: Nov 27

Member(s): @3bdulra7manosama

Verification: link (#4 in list)

Payment methods: Paypal, credit/debit

Summary: Abdulrahman is an evacuated Palestinian currently studying medicine in Egypt. He needs €4,405 (fees included) in his campaign by this time to pay off a second installment of his tuition so he'll get a receipt.

Current progress (Tuition installment 2):

€ 3,206 / 4,405

Nov 5-27 : €2,647-3,206

Details (Updates, campaign, math):

Update Nov 27: Abdulrahman has just paid off his monthly living fees but it's unlikely he'll get the amount required to pay off a second installment of his tuition (€4,405 in campaign). This means he won't get a receipt for his first payment, and that €4,405 + his living fees for December (not calculated yet) will be due at Dec 31.

Update Nov 8: Abdulrahman has €1,000, which is enough to pay off an installment on his tuition. However, he won't get a receipt for this and would prefer to pay off an additional installment of €1,000. He'll look for someone to help with this. In the meantime, focus on paying off his living costs of €3,205 in the campaign (roughly €20 daily). The second installment would require €4,405 in his campaign (roughly €80 daily).

Update Nov 5: Abdulrahman's school is now allowing him to pay his tuition in installments of €1,000 at the end of each month. Fortunately, he already made sizable progress towards this goal for November.

He needs (both amounts account for fees):

Done: Due Nov 30: Tuition installment: €153

Due Nov 30: Living costs and rent: €425

I talked to Abdulrahman when his campaign was at €2,627, so he needs €3,205 in his campaign by Nov 30.

Campaign/family details:

This campaign is to help Abdulrahman complete his education, pay his own living costs, help his family survive, and evacuate them.

Abdulrahman had a passion for helping his community and studied medicine to become a doctor.

His university was destroyed and he endured plenty of hardship so that he can continue his education in Egypt.

On July 1, he made a big leap towards his goal when he was evacuated, but his family remains struggling in Gaza.

Abdulrahman initially needed €5,900 in his campaign by Nov 30, but successfully negotiated a better deal with his school.

Math:

Fees:

Gfm 2.9%

Gfm €0.3 per donation

Bank 8%

DONE Nov 8: November tuition base cost: €123

After the above fees, he will need an extra €30 (I've included fees on this amount too) to cover the cost. So he needs €153, which is €2,780 in the campaign.

November survival (and rent) base cost: €350

After the above fees, he will need an extra €75 (I've included fees on this amount too) to cover the cost. So he needs €425, which is €3,205 in the campaign.

Extra tuition installment base cost: €1,000

After the above fees, he will need an extra €200 (I've included fees on this amount too) to cover the cost. So he needs €1,200, which is €4,405 in the campaign.

Zorine's (nightclub) - Chicago, IL (1976)

Designed by Richard Himmel

"Although we never entered a speakeasy during Prohibition Days, it must have been something like the experience we had on our first visit to Zorine's shortly after it had opened last January.

Only the address indicated we were at the right place.

Otherwise, we faced a nondescript glass door in the window wall at one end of a new brick building. Inside, there was nothing but a counter where a host opened another door concealed in the brick wall behind him and ushered us into a darkly lit, circular vestibule. Here, we waited while someone was dispatched to find the project's interior designer and co-owner, Richard Himmel, ASID.

Wearing a light colored suit and shirt open at the throat--de rigueur for the surroundings--Richard Himmel emerged from the crowded lounge and led us on a tour of the club. First, we went to one of the two balconies where small tables accommodate groups of two. From here we could look down onto the main dining area and the glass dance floor in which lights flashed in synchronization to the booming disco music.

Next, we went into the buffet area with its copious spread of hot and cold food, and then into the lounge and bar where we were shown the clear plastic piano and rhinestone lady mirrors.

After Himmel had introduced us to the project director, Gregory Stratman, he looked around at the full tables and smiled. "You can't do this kind of a job without some laughing at yourself," he began. Calling it a "very cerebral job," but one that required a "certain amount of glibness," he explained that it was designed to appeal to the young person who "ten years ago was told to cut his hair but who is now a success." In answer to our "nuts-and-bolts" questions, he explained that the place seats 230 and is open from 5 PM to 4 AM. He owns it in partnership with Arnold Morton who owns Arnie's, the well known restaurant next door in the same building. Zorine is Mrs. Morton.

Its style? "I meant it to be a departure from the natural look," Himmel explained. "It is not strictly Art Deco or Art Moderne but a combination of both, a reinterpretation of the roots of modernity and the machine age in a contemporary version of a 20's or 30's nightclub."

Lighting, he informed us, was of prime importance. "The intent was to imbue the entire space with a peach-like glow that makes everyone look beautiful. We attained this effect by working the dimmers and changing the bulbs."

As goodbyes were said, our host looked around again and beaming a broad smile asked, "It doesn't look cerebral, does it?"
