Update: 186/450 by Monday! 🩷 Good news!! 🧿 After over a YEAR of an immigration fight, Ahmed is going to get his student visa!! 💚 This will be our LAST fundraising for Ahmed, because once in Europe he will have a stipend & right to work.
So let's get him there. Let’s start with the plane ticket.
--
Ahmed doesn’t deserve help just because his work—treating child trauma in Gaza—is noble. We owe everything to Palestinians and genocide doesn’t end, but rather continues, after exile.

SPhotonix 5D memory crystal: cold storage lasts 14B years
After decades of research and development, humanity finally has a data storage medium that will outlast us.The 5D Memory Crystal stores data by using tiny voxels – 3D pixels – in fused silica glass, etched by femtosecond laser pulses. These voxels possess "birefringence," meaning that their light refraction characteristics vary depending upon the polarization and direction of incoming light.
That difference in light orientation and strength can be read in conjunction with the voxel's location (x, y, z coordinates), allowing data to be encoded in five dimensional space.
And because the medium is silica crystal, similar to optical cable, it's highly durable. It's also capacious: The technology can store up to 360 TB of data on a 5-inch glass platter.
The future of long-term data storage is clear and will last 14 billion years

10 HOURS LEFT: I've appealed monthly for my best friend, genocide survivor & art therapist Ahmed, for a year. This is our final appeal, because he's FINALLY starting uni to resume research into Palestinian children's trauma.

The bird: house sparrow spotted with Ahmed. My partner has a hilarious photo of Ahmed taking a photo of me taking a photo of this bird.

Selenskyj plädiert für Einfrieren des Frontverlaufs
Auf einem NATO-Beitritt der Ukraine besteht Präsident Selenskyj nicht mehr - und plädiert für einen Waffenstillstand entlang der Front. Doch der Kreml bewegt sich nicht und erwartet "kaum Gutes" von dem Berlin-Treffen.

Ahmed sent these videos, I've combined them to share. He has to push up the water that's gathering every hour or it'll burst the tent. There's water seeping in already and it's freezing cold. I have never heard him so exhausted. Donate please.

The Afipsky refinery, one of Russia’s largest, processes 180,000 barrels daily. Russia’s oil industry is critical to its economy and global influence.
