Phil's never been the type to share his personal life to the internet, especially since we're just now learning he has a child. This is incredibly sad.
honestly devastating to see his family go through this
Desperate and emotional times for sure. I'm almost tearing up this morning...
Listening to Nico's These Days and crying. Why did this have to happen to Phil's family of all people?
jesus this is getting donations fast. when i woke up this morning it was 14k, now it's 20k
test
it's amazing, i love the phil fanbase
He should sell off the originals of his comics.
Fuck yeah. He definitely has the resources to make a really nice, well-printed hardback book on nice paper. Phil knows how to quality.
Jesus this is awful. I'd really like to donate but I am flat broke. I feel so bad.
don't worry, it will probably hit the goal regardless.
Well this fucking sucks.
Off topic, but what's also terrible is that once you donate the site gives you a big list of other people with terrible things happening to them and it took me a little before I realized that the big list wasn't all the related cases in the world, but literally just people around where I live specifically.
where do you live?
Pennsylvania.
But it's not even all of Pennsylvania it's showing me, just stuff near me.
I live near a city which makes up the majority, but still it just goes on and on. I've looked up to 200 cases, and I still get results that are potentially a ten minute drive from me, based on the town they're from, and these are just the people that happen to know about this website and decided to utilize it.
>these are just the people that happen to know about this website and decided to utilize it.
poor amish
Would Phil kill himself if his wife died? Or would he channel it into The Glow pt. 3?
just gave $20
phil has gotten me through some tough times
this sucks
>phil has gotten me through some tough times
absolutely the same here, i gave $50
I'm going to start a GoFundMe to fund my new organization that will make GoFundMe's for Amish people in need.
>implying amish people would take money produced by a satanic contraption
cool of p4k to report on it as i'm sure that spread it to loads more people. respect.
he has a baby. he wouldn't kill himself
www gofundme com/karlblau
karl had one too apparently
hell be fine
Half way baby!
heartbreaking love story here:
>We wanted a baby the whole time, pretty much from day one, but it just didn’t happen
so as soon as they had one, she gets diagnosed?
fuck the world.
fuck man why is this happening to phil of all people ? ? ? ;n;
The Amish are weird, dude. They won't use pedals on their bikes. They sit on the seat and kick off the ground like a fucking skateboard. Yet, they have no issue putting neon orange signs on the back of their buggies, which I seriously doubt that they manufactured themselves.
Their furniture is damn good though.
More than half the money in half a day. The situation is terrible, but I hope this success makes Phil and his wife's days at least a little bit better.
This is her a few years back. Chemotherapy must be hell
Get my paycheck today, I'll put in a chunk for them. Don't fret, Phil, we're coming.
>Phil, a year from now, his love is gone, now alone to care for the only thing he can care for now: his child. A child that reminds him of his immense love every time he looks at him.
>tfw the image of Phil singing songs to his son before he goes to bed and telling him how lovely his mom was
>tfw Phil has to face this pain alone
GODDAMMIT WHAT THE FUCK WHY
fuck this gay earth
its a daughter
"I thought I felt your shape but I was wrong
Really all I felt was falsely strong
I held on tight and closed my eyes
It was dumb I had no sense of your size
It was dumb to hold so tight
But last night
On the birthday in the kitchen
My grip was loose my eyes were open
I felt your shape and heard you breathing
I felt the rise and fall of your chest
I felt your fall
Your winter snows
Your gusty blow
Your lava flow
I felt it all
Your starry night
Your lack of light
With limp arms I can feel most of you
I hung around your neck independently
And my loss was overwhelmed
By this new depth I don't think I ever felt
But I don't know
The nights are cold
And I remember warmth
I could have sworn I wasn't alone"

wut.
I love both of them, but that's retarded.
Is this the most relevant song of his or what?
Acupuncture is actually highly effective at relieving stress and pain for loads of people. It was one of the first things my mother was recommended after visiting the Mayo Clinic. It's not silly at all.
when you're in a situation that tragic, reason takes a backseat as you're willing to try absolutely everything
that said i've heard genuine success from people who've used it (as well as stuff like smell therapy, or whatever it's called) for alleviating pain. even if it's a total placebo, if it has a positive effect then it is worthwhile.
I emailed Phil last October when I was quite drunk. Wrote to him about listening to Sauna when it came out with my girlfriend who had just left me. I thanked him for his music and art. Now knowing what he must have been going through, is going through Is just so awful. Hoping that they will some kind of peace and joy in their lives. Donate guys.
>email FACT magazine at 5am this morning asking them to run an article
>they get back to me a few hours later with a generic and lackluster "maybe, we'll think about it"
>this afternoon pitchfork put up an article about it
>30 minutes later FACT follow suit
fucking assholes
it's nice to know that the people over at p4k look after their favourite artists in dire times.. even if p4k does suck
i would pay for some blowjay videos of her
i don't see the issue here?
what song will they sing at her funeral?
i'm thinking this youtube.com
that song is actually about a guy named leica piranha
fact are usually horribly slow on shit, but will *ALWAYS* copy pitchfork's stories in a super short timeframe
their reply to me was horribly stale as if to say it was a stupid idea but as soon as p4k ran it they were on it within the hour
How do they get so old so fast
apps.who.int
WHO study on the benefits of acupuncture.
phil hasn't changed so much; Genevieve's chemo took quite a toll on her physicality
Damn, they are gonna reach the goal in a few hours.
This makes a lot of sense now... :^(
i bought a band name from him for shits and giggles last month, never thought i was inadvertently supporting him
It all makes so much sense now.
what did you get?
a certificate of authenticity, with the name handpainted by him
whats the name
getting close to $40,000 now. this is astounding.
you'll find out when the album's released on bandcamp :^)
who /lostwisdom/ here
done
ordering it today to support phil
it was only fucking 25k an hour ago
It's times like this that remind me that people don't always suck. I sure hope Genevieve gets through this. Courses is seriously one of my favorite albums ever. Time to listen to it again
You guys, imagine what they're thinking right now. They are probably both crying.
I was just thinking that.
I hope we get a blog post or a tweet or something
It's really moving to picture. Imagine just seeing *all* of this huge amount of money flow unstoppably in from complete strangers that you've touched with your art. In such a tragic and bleak situation, too.
Perhaps even a surprise music release as thanks.
Or even a goddamn duet between the two of them recorded just for this. I dunno if I could take that.
They're undoubtedly going to reach at LEAST $100k.
She is 35.
I've seen many girls around that age that went from cute to middle age lesbian aunt in a few years without even cancer being involved.
Holy shit they're getting $1000 like every 5 minutes
i noticed that, this is crazy
i feel such a weird mixture of sadness and heartwarming
so...50k in 20 minutes?
The philthreads here were always the most comfy but I never expected his fan base to be this awesome
perhaps even less, we just got 1.5k in a minute
One guy alone donated 5 grand an hour ago.
the average is still like 40 bucks, though.
less than 5000 to go
Can these campaigns go over their target amount in the same way Kickstarter does? I don't want it to stop at 50k.
Suddenly his le ironic shitposting haikus become painfully sincere.
I believe they can
I didn't ask what you believe.
yo if you want to give them more money I'd strongly recommend buying some of Geneviéve's albums on BandCamp, they're really very good (I love Fleuve)
Not him, but the campaign can continue to collect money after the goal is met. Also, don't be a edgy dick.
You could've Googled this shit yourself.
Great!
wasn't me.
prove it
I'd really rather not do this, given the thread, dude.
Can you?
Why is everyone getting cancer? David Bowie, Phil's wife, Surfer Blood guitarist, Blowfly...
people don't generally get through pancreatic cancer, unfortunately
>everyone
>5 people out of 7 000 000 000
What???? How is that unfortunate?
This is probably some elaborate trolling.
Phil has become the boy who cried Cancer.
Really? You think this is YACHT all over again, x10?
we're getting there fellas!
Anyone else think his wife kind of looks like Daddy Yankee?
WE'RE GONNA MAKE IT
$200 LEFT
Sure, and they just stole random kid
