Help Aram (and Uday and Qusay) survive and thrive!

Hello! My name is Aram, and if you're reading this you probably already knew that!

Back in April I was laid off due to the collapse of funding in my industry following...events in Washington D.C. As a result, I've fallen on some pretty dire financial times. I'm actively seeking new work, but unfortunately my field provides slim pickings. I have student loans, regular loans, and house payments to make, along with food costs, gas money, medications (which are not covered by my state insurance plan), and food/medical care for my cats. In addition to this, I am making a trip to Eastern Europe this August to do field research, and this will be yet another set of costs I cannot currently afford. Alas, I already bought my plane tickets back when I had a job.

If you're able to help me with a contribution, I'd very much appreciate it! If you appreciate my news updates and background knowledge of complex current affairs-related issues, please consider showing said appreciation with a little donation.

Any donation over $100 comes with a free one-hour lesson on a topic of your choice (from my menu of options).
