Hello folks, we have already raised ~$150 for Mohammed, his parents, & siblings who are struggling to survive in a tent in Gaza. Let's get him money to survive the gangs, the looters, the IDF to feed his family. In return, please pick any of this art work that will be shipped for free to you in USA.

YIKES Urban Ore workers are picketing on Jul 19th and 20th because they have not been re-instated and have been asked to take $1000 cut. Meanwhile, Urban Ore paid more than $200,000 to hire union busting lawyers and claims they are not making money while Urban Ore workers are saying they are making more than $150,000 a month. via https://www.instagram.com/p/DMGxlKchAH5/
Sign this letter to support the workers if you are an Urban Ore customer!

Hesitating about helping people in Gaza and need an incentive? I am offering multiple artworks to people who donates $20 or more to this fundraiser
for free! Just send me a screenshot of your donation. Will ship for free
anywhere in USA (or you can pay cost of shipping to your country).
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.

I just backed this kickstarter on bringing back to Blu Ray Indian movies that are lesser known than their Bollywood counterparts. The first movie is Om-Dar-B-Dar https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Om-Dar-B-Dar

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!

here is someone on blusky explaining why everything is so extorbitant in Gaza
https://bsky.app/profile/nora.zone/post/3ltpa2pmfyk2h
`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%.`
