Update: North Gaza Aid!
As part of his promise, Hussam sent 20% of your HelpGazaChildren donations ($4000) to Mahmoud AbuSalama for the 5th time now, including the earlier North Gaza Campaign (as location on our notion site) to buy food and necessary products for families still surviving the dire situation in North Gaza. The food package contains, as you see in the picture below: flour, lentils, canned food, formula, diapers, and women pads!
Please continue donating and spreading the word — every penny means so much! Feel free to share our campaign link to other platforms as well!
Donate to our GoFundMe which goes directly to Hussam, who manages camps in Rafah, with NO middleman in between!

My friend Mona has asked me to share her story with you all.
Here's the link to the evacuation gofundme. They're very close to their goal. They legitimately only have less than 10k USD left to go before all 9 of them can evacuate.

Update: North Gaza Women's Project!
Mahmoud Abu Salama is doing an amazing thing in North Gaza! He is starting a project to help Deaf Palestinian women use their pastry making skills while also distributing food to families in need. This is helping both the women make a bit of a living and feed the hungry in the North.
By donating, we’re helping Mahmoud hire more women who take pride in helping both themselves and their communities! So please feel free to donate if you have a few dollars to spare, or spread the link if you're unable! Any little bit helps!

Fundraiser masterpost
This is a masterpost for the evacuation fundraisers I've vetted so far, a few other fundraisers I find trustworthy but have not been able to vet (inability to communicate with the organizer), and a few semi-completed fundraisers or fundraisers for a different purpose (like house rebuilding, or aid distribution). The numbers next to the names have no significance beyond ease of navigation for me for when I check their progress in the future. You should look at the disclaimers instead and focus on those. Occasionally I will update these with new info, including new fundraisers, and the amount of cash that's been raised. Check in regularly on the original post when you see it being reblogged. In all likelihood once its reached you it's already outdated. Also please don't overlook the Sustainable Aid options near the bottom! The brain drain is already creating problems but having another way of keeping or creating new knowledge and key members of a functioning society is important.

also that just reminded me of the funniest/most frustrating fandom racism moment i've ever witnessed from bg3's ea. i can't remember if it was on reddit or the discord server, but this one guy was talking about wyll and how he didn't like him and just couldn't decide what it was about him that was causing him to have this strange apathy toward wyll specifically when he usually loved the more heroic characters in stories. and somehow him & the few other people involved in this conversation talked in circles around the obvious answer long enough to end up concluding that it was because he had a subconscious bias against london accents
#bg3#they didnt say subconscious bias obviously but that was the gist of it#i think about this every day#this became sort of a Thing i think for a minute there but that was the first time i saw it

i think a lot of the issues with the disc horse around wyll is coming from people rly not understanding how extensive the rewrite of his character was and just how bad it really was. like i think most everyone is at least vaguely aware that his character was rewritten, but from the way i see people who've only played the full release game talking about it, it seems like the majority think it was just par for the course changes like you'd expect from a game transitioning out of ea & that the issues with the current version of his character were always there when that could not be further from the truth
ea wyll was easily the most complex, interesting character in the entire game imo, and his story pre-rewrite looked absolutely nothing like the rewritten version we got in the final release. ravengard was not his father, his and karlach's stories had nothing to do with each other, mizora was his ex-girlfriend & also not even an actual devil, he had already effectively freed himself from his contract before you ever met him & was in ZERO danger of being turned into a devil/sent to the hells about it, his backstory & missing eye/scars were actually tied in & VERY relevant the main storyline of the game as opposed to being some random exposition about a largely unrelated event, etc etc etc
all we had access to in ea was the first section of act 1 (the grove area, underdark, and grymforge, but not the creche area), but it seriously feels like ea wyll had more cutscenes & character moments in that amount of time than full release wyll does in the entire game. just off the top of my head, i know he had at least 2 scenes in the goblin camp, 3 in/around the village, at least one extra scene in the grove itself, and an interaction (maybe 2?) with the fists (yeva specifically) at waukeen's rest
he seemed to be one of the characters whose story & past would turn out to be most related to the main storyline & who was being built up to possibly play a major role in the later parts of the plot (especially considering some of the datamined stuff on him from ea), but then shortly before the game was set to release, it was announced that they would be scrapping EVERYTHING they had done with his character up until that point and reworking him completely
if the full release character feels sloppily written or rushed compared to the other companions, that's because he IS. this version of wyll was seemingly written in a matter of months where the others had years
#bg3#FIGHTING to not respond to a Wrong Post on here hrnhfnc#idk idk idk i guess what im saying is#while the criticism of both the fandom & larian itself are DEFINITELY warranted#it absolutely was not just.. like this from day one#so wyllnation what we really need to be doing is trying to convince whoever still has the og writing for his character to leak the docs#i will PERSONALLY make the mod to re-implement his original quest into the game like ill learn how to code and everything#please god

Thank you to all who donated under my last post. Thanks to your amazing efforts, Mona was able to distribute 100KG OF FRESH CHICKEN!!! DO YOU LOVELY PEOPLE UNDERSTAND HOW AMAZING THAT IS? The vast majority of the people of Ghazzah haven't had meat in months. Mona is truly amazing. Please remember to donate! Every dollar goes a long way!
G*f*ndme to distribute basic necessities in Ghazzah.
P*ypal for the same thing.
G*f*ndme to evacuate Mona & her family.
Instagram to track progress.
If anyone still wants to send her kind messages, leave some under this post in the tags or replies and I will send it to her (no inbox this time please as there's lots of people asking for fundraiser checking there).

so i study decolonization, as in i studied it as part of my degree, and i thought I'd make a list of some readings/films that might offer additional insight about decolonization (it also helps if you're tired of the christian moralistic thinking)
occupation 101 (can be found on youtube i believe, it's about the history between isreal and palestine, it focuses on palestinians and it is quite comprehensive. there's live footage, there's interviews with palestinian children, etc. it's a must watch i think, regarding palestine. it points the finger squarely at the united states.)
the wretched of the earth, franz fanon. fanon is really well known in the decolonization sphere because he writes about it in a very succinct and clear way. to him, decolonization can never occur peacefully, and i think that's a really important key lesson. he also talks about how colonizers don't just take land, they reframe ideas, they take language, art, thoughts.
the battle of algiers, 1966. this is a fascinating film, it's sort of a documentary, they got the actual people to play their parts. it describes and interviews the main individuals involved in the fight for independence within Algiers. i think understanding how a nation can gain independence over its colonial forces is really important in the grand scheme of decolonialism.
unthinking eurocentrism. if you can get your hands on it, i love this text. it's so poignant and it lays everything out so clearly and it really shows how we center our worlds around eurocentrism and westernism.

UPDATE: NORTH GAZA!
Because of the dire situation and famine in North Gaza, our friend Hussam from Rafah decided to keep helping by directing 20% of all donation (starting March 11) to Mahmoud AbuSalama and his team in the North who were able to buy all what you see in his video above. So far, he received $5000 since Ramadan started.
Both Hussam and Mahmoud are so grateful and humbled by your continuous support which is helping so many families in the North and the South. Let's keep up the pace everybody!
Please note that Ramadan target of $50k started the first day of Ramadan on March 11 and the first $100k was donated and spent throughout the couple months before Ramadan.

Combined with the "BG3 characters belong to WOTC/Hasbro" this article makes me want to eat glass
#bg3#add this to the list of things that support my conspiracy theory for what his original arc was meant to be#because this completely lines up with it hmm#it sucks bc this is almost certainly something that can't just be added back in#hes just a completely different character now#the original and the full release versions' characters are/were based heavily around who their fathers are/were#and his father was a COMPLETELY different (slash way more important lol) person pre-release so#it's that or (less likely imo) something to do with mizora and again#pre-relase wyll and mizora's relationship was a completely different situation than wyll 2.0's so#whatever this was would make absolutely zero sense for current wyll regardless#it sucks!!!!!#he was literally the most interesting character in the entire game pre-rewrite#and they just ripped him to shreds#every time i think abt it i want to scream hgrebkvjn

Please remember to send money to Mona's initiative! Thanks to all your previous donations, Mona was able to bake and distribute pizza to people in Rafah! With more donations she can keep providing people with basic necessities! Even 1 dollar goes a long way! P*ypal.
G*f*ndme to buy necessities to distribute in Ghazzah.
G*f*ndme to help her family leave Ghazzah.
Her IG to keep track of progress.
So far she hasn't found anyone to distribute food and supplies to the North, but she's still trying.

how to roll back your game version & play the early access version of bg3
because all the people in my notes talking about being sad about never getting to play during ea are making me sad. you can still get in there!! easily!! and you don't even have to uninstall the current version to do it! you can have the current game & the ea version at the same time and switch between them by just moving around a few files
all you need to do is follow a slightly tweaked version of this guide on how to roll back your game to a previous version--slightly tweaked in that this is a guide for people whose games are broken and yours isn't (hopefully?) but more on that in a sec
you need two different id numbers to download, the "main" depot's (1086941) and the "bin" depot's (1419652). the very last update to the early access game before its full release was hotfix #32. if you're just interested in playing the early access version in general, i'd suggest going with this one! but i'll also be putting in the ids for the various other patches for anyone interested in earlier versions of ea
the "main" (1086941) id is 2986558115270870303 and the "bin" (1419652) is 3491586966951526173, so in step 3, your console commands would be "download_depot 1086940 1086941 2986558115270870303" and then "download_depot 1086940 1419652 3491586966951526173" (without the quotation marks)
after you've gotten that downloaded, those slight tweaks come into play. since your game is (hopefully) not broken, in step 6, when it tells you to "Go to %LocalAppData%\Larian Studios\Baldur's Gate 3\ and delete there everything except PlayerProfiles folder," make a new folder somewhere easily accessible (i just keep mine on my desktop homescreen), give it a recognizable name like "bg3 full release" or smth, and toss all those files into it for safekeeping instead of deleting them
then, make a copy of the PlayerProfiles folder to go into %LocalAppData%\Larian Studios\Baldur's Gate 3, and continue with the rest of the guide from there
hopefully, everything should work and you'll be able to play the early access version!
if you need to make space, you can just delete the files in %LocalAppData%\Larian Studios\Baldur's Gate 3, replace them with the original files from this folder that you moved to their own folder earlier, and go back to playing the full version of the game
OR if you have enough space and just want to go back to playing the full release version for a while with the option to go back to ea later, you can make a second folder in that same easily accessible location, name it something like "bg3 ea," and move the ea files from %LocalAppData%\Larian Studios\Baldur's Gate 3 there for safekeeping while you switch the original files back in. and then whenever you want to go back to ea, you just switch them out again!
if you just want to play ea generally, that's all there is to it, but for anyone interested in the earlier versions, i'm also including the ids for everything back to patch 5 or 6 (more on that below) under the cut!
steamdb's "main" depot ids go back all the way to the beginning of early access in october 2020, but the "bin" ids only go back to september 2021. i have no idea why or if there's a way to get around this to allow access to the super early versions of the game (let me know if you know), but from what i recall, most of the big changes came post-patch 6 (which dropped in october 2021), so i don't think you're missing all that much here
i'm going to list 2 different versions for each patch--the version of the patch that dropped and then the very last hotfix of that patch that was released before the next patch's release. i strongly recommend using the pre-patch hotfix versions since they'll be the ones that's already fixed any major bugs found in the patch, including the ones that caused crashes (which weren't common but did very much happen from time to time), but since there were sometimes changes made in the hotfixes between patches, i'm including the raw, sometimes buggy initial patch itself, too, for anyone who wants the true ea experience
whenever a patch dropped, there was usually a patch announcement post that included a long list of everything added/changed and a community update post that highlighted & went into more detail about some of the biggest, most significant additions/changes shortly after. i'll be linking both of them for each version so you can see what was added in each patch & decide which you'd like to see!

the oldest entry of a "bin" id is from september 16, 2021. there are no community posts or hotfix announcements from that day, and i haven't tested it myself, so... possible pre-patch 6 version? but i'm not sure! if anyone tries this one, please do let me know

good luck & have fun!
