I met so many awesome south asian women!! Really lovely. One of them has connected me to a divorced south asian network now. Let's see how that goes!

Absolutely fantastic time at @anirvan and @barnali ’s SF South Asian walking tour. Do not miss their tours. It is so well researched, well presented and you will leave feeling proud and hopeful which is necessary in these dark times. I was so inspired I registered for their Berkeley walking tour on Aug 17th!

Mohammed has been displaced 3 times, lost his brother to the war, and is now living in a tent with his family. He is the only person who is caring for them all.

here is someone on blusky explaining why everything is so extorbitant in Gaza

`In Gaza, all the banks are closed. You can't make digital or credit card payments for anything. The people of Gaza have to buy food from people who stole the aid and marked it up to exhorbitant prices.`

`They can only pay for this in cash. The way this works is they transfer money to a money dealer or commission trader, who takes 45-50%.`

(Here's an article about this; the numbers I heard from Alaa are a bit higher than the AP got. https://apnews.com/article/gaza-cash-crisis-economy-shekel-israel-67e1cff55e2c042dd89e831c4f22b0ee)

Hello folks! RTs will be appreciated. I thought there would be folks who would love to get some art in lieu of doing some good but it sounds like that Venn diagram is a sum total of 1 - me so far!

If you know people in your life who would fit this Venn diagram and expand it more, please share it with them! I will send this original art to anyone in USA who donates $20 to this fund raiser and sends me a screenshot!

Help Mohammed's family bear the heavy burdens of life in Gaza

We write to you with hearts filled with sorrow and despair. I am Mohammed, writing on behalf of my family from our tent, where we shiver in the bitter cold of winter after our home was destroyed during this genocide in Gaza.
