over on bluesky we're doing a fundraiser for a specific family trying to escape Gaza and their GoFundMe by running a sweepstakes for prizes provided by the community that range from jewelry and dinner with prominent experts to getting to change someone's handle to your own joke. i think something like that could absolutely work on here if someone wanted to run it. i don't have the capacity because of the combined pride month load + chronic illness + impending surgery, but if you want to run one of these please hit me up and i'll contribute a prize and show you how the bluesky one is set up.
