I have terrible news. For no apparent reason, gofundme has disabled Nader's contact from being able to recieve and transfer the money from his gfm to Nader and this has been the case since December 17th, 2024. This means that despite being 95% raised of his goal, he can't actually access the funds bes been fundraising and he has to start all over again because gofundme also won't respond to his contact asking for help and trying to resolve the issue.

Below is his new fundraiser. He asks that you donate here, and that they need the funds because the corridor to exit Gaza will be opening. His vetting information is on the pinned post of my blog.

Please all help us we have not received money since 12/17 until now and the time for opening the Rafah land crossing is approaching and we need your help please donate

So Nanowrimo is actually dead.

After 25 years of operation, Nanowrimo is shutting down.

An email came out in the hours approaching April Fools

A video was attached to the email, which can be viewed here:

The video is on Kilby’s channel and not the long dead Nanowrimo channel. The video is full of…

Kilby logic, but there is some relevant information contained within.

If have anything on Nanowrimo you need to get off the site, take it now. The site will likely not be around for too much longer.

Despite everything that the organisation has been through, the closure of a 25 year old nonprofit is still a tragedy, and my heart goes out to everyone that’s grieving from this. Nano has hurt a lot of people, but it meant a lot to so many, and I will be sorry to see that go.

Even if I don’t agree with many things in the recent video, I can agree with the sentiment of one slide.

I will update you all if and when relevant information comes out. Despite everything, I now doubt that this will be my last post.

Seeing as I was never an expert on Nanowrimo I haven't much to say other than "AI killed them" rings untrue. The reason they promoted AI would be the same reason Tumblr and other sites did: they were bleeding funds and AI companies are offering bundles of free money.

Honestly, I think what killed them was getting rid of the forums, a huge draw for most users and the main reason why individuals donated. Also, the accusations of funding mismanagement among the board members were probably a way bigger problem than it seemed.

The AI companies were flush with cash they certainly don't have now. It was an albatross keeping the focus away from the holes in the ship, but it also chased away pretty much anyone still sticking around. A good lesson, at least, to beware of organizations and companies suddenly touting AI as a quick fix.

i hope you are sharing meals with the people you love, for me as of today, i only hope kholood ( @kholoodpals ) and her family can have food at the very least, because to know them safe and healed seems a wonder now, as we all heard of the end of the ceasefire, and we knew it for the lie it was, and we saw how aid was used as both hope and cruelty.
through this the true hope that palestinians have had is us, people who can care where kt matters, when it matters, and as it should matter or so i hope. this hasn't changed, and i know that in strife aiding seems just to live in suffering, but i hope for one day for everyone to find joy in helping, when the cruelty of a genocide doesn't hang over us.
please know your efforts are not just for kholood, but also her baby, her husband, her brother and her mother, all of them need us, and we can help them, i know money is not always possible, but sharing always is, i ask you as well to try to reach out beyond here, and also, to kholood if you have the time, a few words are enough to get through a day sometimes right? hell, sometimes just sitting down and eating together is enough, please reach out, help kholood now, donate and share as soon as possible 🙏🏽

there's also a link for chuffed if anyone can donate or prefers to aid there:

thanks for helping if you've done so, and hope we can hold your hands in the future here as well, we do need each other and so does kholood's family then.

This is the worst Eid I have ever experienced in my entire life. I lost all my friends in the war and I am left alone here suffering from the pain of loss. I used to go and visit my friends, but today I went to their homes and found their mothers collapsing from crying and grieving over the loss of their sons. We used to meet and go out and spend a pleasant time together, but unfortunately today I went and visited them in the cemetery and sat next to them all day crying from the intensity of my pain and regret. How difficult this feeling is for me and I cannot bear it!!! 😭

This is entirely indistinguishable from Biden’s State Dept press briefings on Gaza, btw.

The logic of domestic abuse—“I beat my wife because she deserves it”—extrapolated to the sphere of geopolitics and genocide.

Tonight, my little brother nearly swallowed his tongue from the convulsions caused by the terrifying sound of the bombing that fell next to us. I'm trembling in shock. Can anyone hear us? We're living a nightmare.

My 10 year old brother always follows my account and campaign, please don't call me a robot we are human just like you and thanks for every kind word in the comments ♥️

Everyone knows how hard it is to take care of a family alone, especially as a young girl. But imagine doing it in a war zone, with bombs falling around you, hunger creeping in, and fear never leaving your side. Imagine carrying all of this while your mother, the only pillar you have left, suffers from heart disease and desperately needs urgent surgery. And there is no way to help her.

I wake up every day to a new struggle—finding food, water, medicine—trying to keep my family together while the world outside crumbles. The weight of it all is crushing me. I can’t do this alone anymore. That’s why I came here, to you, my second family, because I have nowhere else to turn. Please, if you can, help me. Stand by me. Donate to me and my family. You might be our only hope. You can donate as little as $1 via PayPal or $5 via GoFundMe. vetted here

🌹Hello again🌹
Note: I lost my old campaign and had to create a new campaign. I am now starting over with you, but I know that you are by my side and will not leave me alone in this war and this bad situation. My child and I are in great need of your support. I hope that you will continue to support me as before.
We are a small family consisting of 3 members. We lived a beautiful life. I worked as a lawyer and my husband worked in programming. We lived in peace and security before October 7, but since that time we have not lived a single fine day. We were in our house at the beginning of the war, but We have Ahtaho Khan Yunis. We were the first people to leave. There was artillery shelling over our heads. Many died before our eyes. We escaped death and ran away more than 7 times while we were in Rafah and made tents.. Now we are in a tent after we were living a good life and we have a beautiful house. But unfortunately, the occupation has destroyed it. We are dying every second and every minute. If it is not from the occupation, then it is from living in a tent made of nylon in this extreme heat, or from the high prices through which we are unable to buy the simplest necessities of life. My child is exposed to many diseases and gets very tired. I appeal to those with good hearts to look at our situation, how we were and how we have become
I hope you see my account and see what we are suffering from, a new displacement and new tents. We are now sleeping in the street, me and my little child. He is suffering a lot. I don't know what awaits us. Our situation is very bad and difficult. It is truly tragic. I hope you help us with your donations, even if they are small. Don't forget us. We are in a difficult situation and my little child cannot bear it. I wish I had given him a better life than this, but he is not well now. He cannot enjoy his life or play like other children. He has become very afraid and cries a lot. I hope you help us and give us hope again. We need you and your constant support. I hope you look at us again and feel what we feel and what we live. Perhaps your donations will be the reason for saving my life and the life of my little child. I hope you always remember us and do not forget us.
Asking for help is not easy .l request a small donation of $ 10 or $25 from each person .$20 will save my family and help me cover travel expensesx
Donate even £5, even if it is small, it does a lot for us, helps us stay alive and gives us hope to continue our lives and that we can build a new life with these donations.
Donate to me and my little boy, he needs your support and your donation

Every few steps she looks back to check on her little kitty cat 🐈🥺
