Hey all! I’m asking for help for this father trying to raise emergency funds to go get his oldest son, whose mother died suddenly this week, three states away from where Dad is living with their daughter…
Mom is #AlaskaNative from Kaltag, and if you know US history, you know how important it is to keep Native kids with their families. 💔
@goodthinking I think the first thing to do would be figure out if there’s somewhere you can put a projector that would have the desired effect… sounds like the building across the street would’ve been perfect, but you refer to it in the past tense?
@MediaActivist@feisty_lemming@Tutanota So glad I saw this post, I’ve been wanting to ditch Gmail, but hadn’t heard of anything that sounded unproblematic enough to go to the bother.
But “Lanzhou beef noodles” does give me tons of recipe search results! :blobcatheart: (And I’m happy to simmer animal parts for days on end if it’ll give the the results I want. I can get a little obsessive about my soups. lol)
@skinnylatte@kickingvegas I still kick myself for not taking a photo of a menu page at this one noodle place in Beijing. The English translation of the soup name on the menu was “Private Beef Noodle” and I have no idea how to find a recipe to recreate it, because searching for that phrase sure doesn’t yield results. :BlobCatPain:
It probably goes without saying, but none of the Chinese restaurants in Fairbanks, Alaska have anything that even comes close. :blobcat_cwy:
*phew* Whoever got my eSIM used almost all 10GB of data in two days. :blobcat_sweats: I definitely cannot afford $70+ a week, I’m hoping they just had some things they needed to catch up on, and will slow down to an affordable rate for me.
Maybe a journalist with a lot of video to send? :blobcatthink:
So the other week I finally had some spare cash to throw at https://gazaesims.com and I’ve been anxiously checking my Nomad app every day since then, and today my eSIM was activated! :blobcatcheer: :wecan:
If you’d like to help provide internet connectivity to folks in #Gaza, check out the https://gazaesims.com site and consider donating (and keeping topped up) an #eSIM also. This is the only way Gazans can currently communicate with the outside world.
After the first 10GB disappeared in less than three days, the top-up 10GB took a couple days to activate, ngl I was worrying. But now it’s activated and being used at a much slower rate.
As I mentioned last, I’m imagining a journalist with a ton of video trying to get it all uploaded while they had data… maybe they caught up? :blobcatheart:
Anyway, https://gazaesims.com if you’d like to help someone going through hell keep touch with the outside world. #Palestine
