Team Hussain is another grassroot initiative that I didn't see being shared much around Tumblr. Like other grassroot orgs in Gaza, they're also helping multiple displaced families at the same time.

Their X account is here: Hussein_Team

i think community radio should be the only kind of radio that's allowed. dj this morning was back announcing the songs he'd just played and said "and then we had mykonos by fleet foxes, one of hunter biden's crack smoking songs" and then went on a 7 minute tangent about how good a hunter biden podcast would be. you just aren't getting that on commercial radio

As the man-made famine in the Gaza Strip worsens and access to food becomes increasingly difficult, we've decided to extend our support beyond agricultural inputs. We are currently working to connect grassroots initiatives with local farmers-allowing crops to be purchased well below the soaring market rates and directly distributed to those unable to buy or access them.

Read more about and donate to revive Gaza's farmlands, a project by APN that aims to rehabilitate the agricultural sector and restore local food systems to combat famine.

Last night, while I was at Nasser Hospital, I was shot in my right hand by random Israeli army gunfire.

Now, I’m pleading with one hand to save my family.

A puppy can be your best friend or even neighbor. Puppys can be at the store called “eye seeing puppy” who are a helpful kind of pupppy with eyes. Puppys can go into the trees to play and come out when it is night time. Puppies are a complex and interesting creation

Ever since I first heard the word grotto I knew it was a valuable word. When I first heard the word grotto I knew it could be used for great things. The word grotto refers to a cavity in the earth. The word grotto means a small hole or cavern in rock or other substrate like ice, especially when used as shelter. The word grotto is related to crypt, and it is related to grotesque. Grottoes can also be built. Artificial grottoes are sometimes built in gardens. Sometimes people live in grottoes. There have been people that go into grottoes and live in them. There have been people that lived in a grotto for a long time. Sometimes people store food and other supplies in grottoes. Sometimes there are religious things in grottoes. People like to put items in grottos for safekeeping, because grottoes are useful for shelter. When I first saw the word grotto I knew it had a lot of meaning and meant something special. When I think of grottoes I think they are unique.
