EPISODE TITLE: [REDACTED] S1E1: False Start (Part 1)
—--------------
Introducing [REDACTED]; from Athan (The Grotto) and Jamie Petronis (The Cellar Letters)
Following the death of his twin, failing actor Jacob Kane assumes his late-brother’s life in hopes of a fresh start. Instead of finding stability, Jacob finds himself working within The [REDACTED] Unit, a covert agency tasked with containing impossible creatures and phenomena. As he becomes entangled with paranormal forces and secret agendas, Jacob begins to discover a sense of belonging in a place he never expected.
Equal parts horror and workplace satire, [REDACTED] takes inspiration from late 90s & early 2000s television like procedural monster-of-the-week shows X-files & Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and the classic ensemble banter of Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Psych.

From the description by Abigail Johnson: This fundraiser is a continuation of a similar project to cultivate arable land in Gaza. For the convenience of the two landowners who're spearheading their respective projects, I've split the initiative into two fundraisers, one for each plot of land. The first fundraiser can be found here.
Approximately $2500 from the first fundraiser was used to jumpstart the cultivation of this new plot of land. As of the publication of this campaign, the land has been cleared and plowed, and an irrigation system has been purchases and installed.
[...]
The plot of land to be cultivated by these funds is approximately 700 square meters, more than double the size of our original project, hence the higher starting goal of $10,000. Funds raised here will go towards seedlings, fertilizer, pesticides, wages for those who cultivate the land, and other relevant expenses. This plot of land receives more direct sunlight than the first plot. Therefore, the landowner has determined we will plant cucumbers and molokhia here, and possibly a heat-resistant strain of peppers. A small portion of the funds will be used to pay any taxes, duties, and fees associated with transferring the donations to Palestine. Depending on success, the goal and scope of the project may be expanded.

(But they never would)
