As promised, the first three chapters of Chaos are available to the public!

Sixteen-year-old Nick Riverson has all but given up on getting answers to his questions. Ever since his father left under mysterious circumstances nine years ago, his life hasn't gotten any better. Not helping matters is the terrorist group B'trayed roaming around and forcing everyone to abide to increasingly strict curfews.
Just when he think he'll never get any closure, he rescues his new neighbor from a B'trayed attack, and unlocks a fiery power that he never knew he had. It doesn't take long until he learns this group is hunting down his father--and will stop at nothing until they do so.
Now seeing the chance to unravel a nine year mystery, Nick, his neighbor, the friends he meets along the way, and his uncle set out on a journey to find his missing dad, and learn deep secrets that span far longer than anyone ever realize.

Is it because of the sticky goo?

I Think if I drink this I will die and come back to life

There’s another me growing out of my back

The average white person on some level has to be convinced that Black people are people

the al manasra family is still fundraising to pay for manal’s life-saving operation in cairo and is still only about halfway to their complete goal. please help them. your donations have made it possible for this family to stay together once the border crossing opens, but please do not forget about them now that they are registered for evacuation.

the reality remains that mohamed is being forced to pay out-of-pocket for medical treatment that every israeli is guaranteed for free thanks to imperialist extraction.

if you are also frustrated by the violence and hypocrisy of medical disenfranchisement on every level, please consider at the very least keeping my friend’s campaign circulating.

the Al Manasra family is vetted #192 here by El-Shab Hussein and Nablusi.

read some of my posts and comics about the Al Manasra family here.

you can alternatively donate to Mohamed’s still-active GOFUNDME page if you have an issue with Chuffed.

mohamed’s Tumblr page is @save-mohamed-family

here is a post about their current goal that links to an additional FAQ!

i will also note in this post that mohamed previously purchased food for his starving neighbors thanks to your donations, but must now save for manal's treatment. thankfully, the sameer project recently announced that they will be operating in nuseirat, bringing food and materials to help displaced gazans survive the winter! here is their campaign page:

here is my friend mohamed's campaign one more time. his wife manal has uterine cancer that has become life-threatening because of this genocide, and gazan hospitals have no capabilities for the hysterectomy that she needs to survive. once the al manasras arrive in egypt, however, they are being charged exorbitant prices at a private institution because of egypt's strained medical system.

Don't SKIP HELp😍💕😭

am Asmaa Abed from Gaza, 39 years old💔👀

The whole world witnessed the tragedy that struck our lives in Gaza, where my family and I survived many previous wars. But today we face the most dangerous and fiercest battle in the current war. We are in urgent need, as we have nothing left and are unable to secure our basic needs of food, water and safe shelter.😍💔

Here is our story - On October 7th, our lives changed forever, as my family and I were evacuated from southern Gaza to West Mawasi Khan Yunis, hoping to return soon, but it was not meant to happen. It was a new house I built before the war, it cost me a lot of money and I couldn't be happy with it. It was surrounded, burned, and then completely destroyed. Our home, once a bastion of hope, is now in ruins, a stark reminder of our shattered dreams.

The night before we left for Mawasi Khan Yunis al-Bahr was terrifying. The sounds of bombing were everywhere, making a loud noise that seemed to penetrate our souls. Each explosion shook the ground like an earthquake, sending waves of fear through our trembling bodies. It fills us with fear. The smell of destruction and blood wafted through the air, making it difficult to breathe. When dawn came, we saw the devastation all around us💘💝❤️‍🔥

asmaa's account and campaign were recently created, and have not yet been verified. i personally cannot vet/verify fundraisers, however i can say that i did not find any duplicates of the photos shared through reverse image search, and i am inclined to believe this campaign is legitimate.

$300/$20,000 has been raised as of august 28. please share and consider donating! if you can spare even $5, it adds up to make a difference, especially for a recently created campaign that needs help to build up momentum.

Now @asma-family2 (same gfm link).

This campaign is vetted by association through @mohiy-gaza2 (vet). Asmaa is his sister. Proof under cut.

Disclaimer: I am NOT an official vetter and I did NOT vet this. That was done by the aforementioned vetted Palestinian, I'm just the messenger. I personally believe this campaign is legitimate given the evidence and encourage you to share and donate if you feel comfortable.
