Can you imagine seeing your children hungry in front of you, and you can’t do anything for them? This is what we’re going through right now. I need your donations to feed my daughter, Hoor. Please, don’t let her down. Your help could make all the difference gofund.me/683e3309

How are people reading serious volumes on the collapse of our current societies and environment and whatever was there of international law while not having their heads explode like a Victorian woman reading too much fiction? I am deeply impressed at the mental fortitude of it.
