Introductions are Important, I Guess

estimated reading time: 2-3 minutes

Howdy friends! In my ever increasing efforts to go off grid but not lose touch with the people I care about in my life, I’ve decided to start a newsletter to provide something loosely entertaining in your email inbox. It would be cooler to send physical letters to everyone but unfortunately, postage is expensive :(

Topics will range from a variety of subjects, from things I’ve been into recently, life updates, and just random thoughts. That’s why the title of this newsletter is “message contents unknown,” because you don’t know what you’ll be getting until it drops. Certain emails may be like the equivalent of finding a bottle from the sea. Other emails may feel like passing notes secretly in class (a lost art nowadays). Either way, the contents will vary on quantity, but hopefully not in quality (unlike a certain ‘MCU’ I know of).

I’ll end it here for now - I’m not sure how often I’ll be writing, but considering my life and busy schedule, once a month would be impressive for me. If it’s a shorter message, they’ll come around more often.

Palestine Children’s Relief Fund

At the bottom of every email, I will include a link to a charitable organization or independent fundraiser, so the focus is not just on me. If you are able to donate, I highly encourage you to do so! Here are some info points copied from their website so you know where your money is going:

“Palestine Children's Relief Fund (PCRF), founded in 1991 by concerned humanitarians in the USA, provides free medical care to thousands of injured and ill children yearly who lack local access to care within the local health care system.  Over the years, we've sent over 2,000 affected children abroad for free medical care, sent thousands of international doctors and nurses to provide tens of thousands of children free medical care in local hospitals, and provided tens of thousands of children humanitarian aid and support they otherwise would not get. Our mission is to provide medical and humanitarian relief collectively and individually to children throughout the Levant, regardless of their nationality or religion.
