hello, i'd like to give an update on the iwais family (verified here).

a few days ago mohammed's young nephew was outside their tent when there was bombing extremely close by, and he's suffering some pretty extensive burns.

on top of the typical daily costs of supporting 27 total family members, mohammed now also needs to pay for medical supplies and treatment for his nephew. the donations we make to this campaign get sent into gaza in batches, so donating today will make a tangible difference for the family almost immediately -- and especially for mohammed's nephew.

please bear in mind the exchange rates: 10 USD = 110 SEK. gofundme also takes 3 SEK off each donation.

thank you all for continuing to support the whole iwais family. they are grateful each and every time a donation comes through.

donate by gofundme

people are so mean about horror movie victims like. sorry but if i had gone to a cabin in the woods with my friends as a teenager you couldn't have stopped us from reading aloud from the evil tome. how were they supposed to know the ancient curse was real they're like 17

in hatchetfield, i always find all the timelines so fascinating because anything could happen in them. some unspeakable horrible thing could happen or someone puts themself in the worst possible situation but, there’s always the hope that somewhere, in some timeline, they didn’t make the mistake or that traumatic event didn’t happen. anything could change.

which just makes the events that happened before october 5th, before the timeline split, all the more tragic. because they’re set in stone, there is never any hope that those can change. across every timeline those events will have always happened

jenny will always be gone, there’ll never be a timeline where she and ted can find each other again. he’ll always have lost her and it’s all his fault. and since he made the decision to change who he was in 04, he’ll always be that sleazeball

hidgens will always be obsessed with making working boys because they will have always died on that football field in that lightning storm. every hidgens we see has had to crawl out from under the fried corpses of the men he loved. he’ll think of the life he could have had with chad and his other boyfriends forever

jerry and jeri will always have that child. since ted remembers hearing lumberaxe dragging his axe around and he certainty didn’t go to the camp after 05, lil jerry will always be raised in the woods and kill the horny campers. girl jeri will always be stuck.

miss holloway will never be able to save those three girls. she will have always made her deal with the lords in black. despite the people she saves now, she can never do anything to spare the lives that kickstarted this whole thing for her

it’s just the fact that some things, that didn’t make the 2005 cutoff point, will never be altered, will never be changed! those people will always be dead, they will have always done those things. every single version of each character across any timeline will still be marked by the same defining events

The Langs naming Wilbur Cross, a relatively minor character in the Hatchetfield universe: Yeah so it's a pun on 'double cross' but also a parody of Randall Flagg from The Stand - but also mayyybe a Charlotte's Web reference? Because of Webby's spider motifs? And it could even be a reference to Wilbur Whately from Lovecraft's The Dunwich Horror! Plus its the most extra Southern-sounding name we could think of. 'Uncle Wiley' is a play on 'Uncle Sam', but it kind of sounds like a nickname for the devil as well. Is there any intentional meaning to the fact that 'Wiley' sounds like a Bottle Imp name? Guess you'll have to wait for NMT3 to find out! Did you know there's a type of spider called a Cross Orbweaver?

The Langs naming significant major characters Pete and Ted Spankoffski: hahaha silly name sounds like 'spank off' because funny

There's an open pit in the middle of our office plan that drops down into a bunch of very sharp spikes that kill you instantly. This is bad. People keep falling in there and dying. Someone put a sign up, the other day, all bright yellow so you can't miss it, that says "Beware!!! Spikes!!!"

The office immediately split into two factions over it. One says that if anyone falls in the spike pit it's their own fault for being so stupid and not watching where they're walking, so we should remove the sign. The other says that the sign is an insult, there shouldn't be a spike pit in our office at all, and having the sign up like that is just normalising the existence of the spike pit, so we should remove the sign.

We ended up removing the sign. Probably for the better. Still... for a while there it looked like it might have worked...

i’m here speaking on behalf of mahmoud. (@ma7moudgaza2)

i talk to mahmoud every day, and honestly? the situation he’s in terrifies me. i could not imagine what he’s going through, and the fact that he has no escape haunts me.

to those of you reading this who need to hear it;

i understand that activism burns a lot of people out. it’s stressful to fight. it’s terrifying to be in palestine, in congo, in sudan right now. it’s exhausting to help fight, day after day after day. but you need to keep helping. sit down for a second of you need it, and then stand up, dust off your clothes, and keep on walking.

the world will not be rebuilt in a day. but we keep fighting nonetheless.

back to the post:

i had to edit a lot of what mahmoud said, for both conciseness and clarity. but here is the exact copy.

“Oh Lord...” was the last word I said before going to sleep, and it came out of me with a flame of burning and fear. I prayed and sat in my tent, looked up at the sky through the cracks of the tent, and recalled what had happened during the year. My tears flowed, my head began to hurt, and suffocation was killing my chest.   I usually turn on the internet after dinner, but tonight I didn't want to. I wanted to go out, but where should I go? for whom?

Imagine yourself in my place. Around 20 members of my family, I remembered my beautiful memories and the news of my friends’ death. My body shook and I sat on the floor, and the screams of my mother and sisters filled the place. I wanted to sleep and didn't want to wake up.  I remembered how I walked with 10 children from north to south. The responsibilities I carry are greater than I can handle. I remembered searching for a home for my family, standing in line to get food, and how upset the people closest to us were.

I woke up to my mother’s voice asking me: “What’s wrong with you, Mahmoud?” I went out, but I felt strange and I came back and sat at the tent door feeling suffocated.  I reassured myself of returning, but I remembered that our house had been bombed, and there was nothing left. I put the pillow on my head and said, “Lord, you are hers.”  I woke up today and we were afraid, but thank God, nothing happened. I wasn't going to work, but I was encouraged.  I'm really suffocated and I have nothing. The only thing left is the money from the fundraising campaign you launched. I was hesitant to ask for help, but now I have no choice.

I ask you for help. $10 could save me and my family. If you can't, participate in the campaign. You are the only hope.

if mahmoud’s story doesn’t speak to you, i don’t know what i can say that can.

🛑🛑Please don't ignore me, stop and look, care about someone🍉🍉🇵🇸

Hello everyone, unfortunately the situation has become very bad. It has deteriorated and become more difficult for us. We are living with bombing, fear and hunger because of the high prices. We cannot find anything to eat. Can you imagine that a bag of flour has become worth $120? 💔😢😢

I mean I can't afford to buy it so please help me to buy food buy bread for my children please

Please help me, lend a helping hand to me and my children, save us from famine, save us from malnutrition, save us from poisoning because of spoiled flour, which we can't find anything else to feed our children💔😢😢

Donate even a small amount, it will help me and my family.
