Flash fundraiser; inspiration teaches; help Shahed in Gaza

Hey folks,

Welcome back to another edition of Sharing Notes! Read online here.

Flash fundraiser for Gaza and album costs

It's Bandcamp Friday! 100% of sales go to artists! I'm doing a flash fundraiser today. Purchase my latest album or another record today, and I'll give away 50% to my contacts in Gaza. The remainder will go towards breaking even on production costs for the album ($419/730).

Inspiration teaches

When you get a stroke of inspiration and make something out if it, it serves to teach you that you can indeed make stuff. The inspiration guides and affirms. For the person that learns from inspiration, they don't always need to have inspiration in the room. The hard work is trusting the process when there's only a little inspiration.

Help Shahed in Gaza

I wanted to start highlighting mutual aid and humanitarian crowdfunding campaigns. Today, I'm sharing about Shahed, who inspired this by asking me to share her story where I can. Shahed is one of the Palestinians I've had the pleasure of meeting on Mastodon, thanks to the Gaza Verified project. She needs money for medicine for herself and her family, among other needs. Sadly, many Palestinians are dealing with chronic illness on top of trying to survive the brutal genocide. A free Palestine is disability justice!

Peace,
Arend
