Thank you, so much, to everyone who has donated or even just retposted. In two days we hit the goal I had imagined, and will be able to cover 2/3 of their operating expenses for the rest of this year. I will stop here, end the fundraising, and get them the money. Thank you !
Once more, I'll pass the money through a local contact in the Catholic Church (Indonesians will be able to guess who this is), and as with last time, I expect SekBer will send a thank you note with photos of the money being put to good use

Comecei a ler esse livro do @vincentbevins.bsky.social sobre as manifestações dos anos 2010. Ainda não terminei, mas pelo já encaminhado de leitura deixo aqui minha recomendação. Muito interessante não apenas do ponto de vista histórico, mas da discussão sobre as formas de organização da esquerda.

Essentially nothing happens, and the film has almost no political content. It made me weep and I will see it again, ten stars. I wrote about I'm Still Here: www.northsouthnotes.org/p/im-still-h...
