Feels weird to reshare this in the midst of festive season, but my mother is still on chemo, and I'm dealing w healthcare bills, electrical repairs and other expenses, along w frequent trips to medicine shops, police (due to safety issues), etc. It's a lot, so any support will help us stay alive.

Here’s @hramsaroop.bsky.social on the concluding volume of Cadwell Turnbull’s Convergence Saga: “Over the course of the series, Turnbull paints a vast picture of an interconnected multiverse and the humans, monsters, and gods that live within it, highlighting the power of people coming together.”

Sorry to reshare this again but my mother underwent another surgery last week and then we learned that chemo had decimated her red blood cells so she's in hospital again. I'm extremely sick myself, so if you can chip in anything or share, it will help us both to stay alive. 😭🧿🫶 #mutualaid
