November PCRF Donation

Hello, everyone

I'll make a more progress post about this later, but the new v3 print features are coming along. It's a lot of back and forth in terms of margins and padding and this and that, but I'll have some stuff to show you soon. It's definitely something that I could spend a long, long time on tweaking, so I'll give myself another two weeks or so to get everything usable then spend the time to really dial it in after v3 is released.

I don't know how to segue into this next paragraph, so forgive the abrupt shift in tone, but here it is: with whatever tiny presence I have in this world it is my duty to use it to make it clear that I stand with Palestine, now and forever. We bear witness to the ongoing genocide of her people by a depraved apartheid state and its aiders and abettors in the west, and it is clear that there is no one who can fight this but us. I beg you to demand a ceasefire as well as a free Palestine. Give what you can, participate in the BDS movement, and (if you are able) attend protests and demonstrations in your area. To do any less would be to condemn the people of Palestine, and spurn any inheritance we claim to the struggle for human freedom.

I will cover COMP/CON's hosting costs and 100% of the Patreon fund will go towards helping the people of Palestine. For now, and until I learn of a better or more direct means, the money will go to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund. If you or your gaming table want to add an achievement to COMP/CON, now would be a great time to subscribe, even for just a single month.

Additionally, if you post in the comments with a (anonymized -- this is a public post) picture of a receipt for a Palestinian aid donation you've made I'll figure out some way to recognize it in the app, maybe as a special achievement or something similar? If you're looking for somewhere to donate beyond the PCRF, consider:

Medecins sans Frontières
ANERA - American Near East Refugee Aid
UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Middle East)
Palestine Red Crescent Society

Having typed it all out it seems so small and pathetic compared to the horror of what's going on, but it is our responsibility to stack up the small stuff for as long as it takes.

In solidarity,
John
