New Gaza fundraiser asks I've received (18 August)

Ahmed Al-Habil (@ahmed-omar0): Ahmed used to be a fisherman. He has 4 children: Omar (10), Khadija (9), Ali (6) and Zain (3). His 72-year-old father suffers from chronic diseases and osteoporosis, and his 70-year-old mother suffers from spinal problems, diabetes and high blood pressure. (https://gofund.me/5e913ded) (Vetted by association. @aya2mohammed (#166 on the verified fundraiser list vetted by el-shab-husssein and nabulsi) has stated that ahmed-omar0 is his brother. See post here for proof.) (18 Aug: LOW FUNDS!! Only €784 raised of €50,000 target.)

Eslam Gheelan (@eslamfamily): Eslam is a 29-year-old children teacher. She and her husband Rasmi have 2 daughters: Hanaa (5), and Alma (11 months old). Their home has been destroyed and they are displaced. Their daughters are suffering from skin diseases. They are trying to evacuate out of Gaza.  (https://gofund.me/1ac71cbc) (shared by @/90-ghost, #175 on the Bees and Watermelons spreadsheet)

Reham Yasr Al Soufi (@rehamyasirr, @sabrinaaxm): Reham is a nurse who used to work at a hospital in Khan Younis. Her brother has been killed in this current genocide. She is trying to evacuate herself and her family. (https://gofund.me/6a5b3ea9) ( shared by 90-ghost.)

Ahmed Atila (@save-ahmed-family1): Ahmed lost his mother during the current genocide. He has a wife and a daughter, but their house has been destroyed and they are now displaced. (https://gofund.me/d32acc37) (UNVETTED but likely legit based on my interaction with him. I have been interacting with him trying to get his campaign vetted. See my post here. He even attached a link to his IG account (which is currently set to private) on his account in an attempt to prove that he is legit)

Cover of the Saturday Evening Post, August 18, 1945, showing office workers playing poker after dark. Illustration by John Falter.

[From the editors of the August 18, 1945 issue:] Not long ago a contributor’s effort to replace his gaming losses brought us a story that otherwise wouldn’t have been written. But this week’s cover is the first time getting out from behind a poker eight-ball has paid off in art work for us. One night recently John Falter became embroiled in a “little game” at The Players, during the course of which he discovered that drawing to an inside straight was much less rewarding than drawing for Post Art Editor Ken Stuart. The game was dealer’s choice, so when Falter’s turn came he decreed a round of Artists and Models and transported the game to his studio. There Falter poker player gave way to Falter artist, and he settled down to making sketches of his friends working their way through stacks of blues and reds. That’s Falter with his back to the window. It’s the first time he’s ever put himself in a painting—with or without a pat hand.

@Ashton5SOS: Today I am feeling nostalgic about how much time I spent picking this mans brain whilst making Youngblood. We nurtured each other out of a very lonely and dark place. I am happy we made it out of those times. Love you @Luke5SOS. We are fighters.

At a press conference in Atlanta, Georgia:

Q: I want to ask what your unfulfilled ambitions are.

Paul McCartney: “Er, I haven’t got any.

Ringo Starr and George Harrison: Neither have I.

John Lennon: Me too.

I guess that's it, folks. We're done here.
