All sentient beings desire freedom from suffering. I want to see it happen in my lifetime.
I feed street dogs, cats, rats, kites, insects.

You can't afford a house. So you rent.

Rent gets too expensive. So you buy an RV.

It's illegal to live in an RV. So you try to live in your car.

Still illegal.

So you end up homeless.

And it's illegal to be homeless on the street too.

America made every affordable alternative to a house illegal.

Then wondered why homelessness keeps climbing.

Yesterday, something unexpected arrived on the shores of Gaza.
My friend, fisherman Yusuf Abdel Halim Qanan, was checking his fishing nets when he discovered a large object tangled beneath the water. After calling other fishermen and divers, they found part of a damaged vessel that had been carried by the waves and trapped underwater.
When they brought the pieces to shore, they found solar panels, wooden boards, and a ship’s wheel.
For many people, these might seem like ordinary objects.
For us in Gaza, they felt like treasures.
The solar panels meant electricity in a place where power is scarce. The wood meant fuel and warmth in a place where families have struggled for years to find basic necessities.
What made the discovery even more meaningful was the belief that these remains came from the vessel Kasr Sadabat, which sailed from the Turkish coast as part of the Sumud Flotilla mission that sought to challenge the blockade and bring humanitarian aid closer to Gaza.
Standing on the beach holding the ship’s wheel, I wasn't thinking about its material value.
I was thinking about what it represented.
A symbol of solidarity.
A symbol of people from different countries, languages, and backgrounds who refused to forget Gaza.
For many, this wheel is just a piece of a boat.
For us, it is a reminder that even when ships are intercepted, delayed, or prevented from reaching their destination, the message behind them can still travel across the sea.
That message is simple:
Gaza is not forgotten.
And sometimes, hope arrives on the shore in the form of a broken piece of wood, a solar panel, or a ship’s wheel that carries a story far bigger than itself. 🌊🤍

A heartfelt thank you to the Freedom Flotilla and everyone who supported it, stood with it, and tried to reach Gaza across the sea. Your efforts to break the blockade and bring hope will never be forgotten. From Gaza, we see and appreciate your humanity.

As a parent you shouldn't be telling your kids that you sacrificed your life for them, It’s hurtful and manipulative, and it’s not true. You chose to have your kids and nobody forced you to have them. Taking care of them is your responsibility.

In 2010, Andernach, Germany planted 101 varieties of tomatoes in the town center and told everyone to take whatever they wanted.

It was so popular that they did it again, adding beans the next year. Over time, they added onions, fruit trees, lettuce, zucchini, berries, and herbs, all free to the public and maintained by the city.

Andernach is now nicknamed the "edible city." And they're not alone.

Philadelphia has been doing a version of this since 2007. The Philadelphia Orchard Project has helped establish 67 sites across the city with thousands of food-bearing trees.

Baltimore is planting fruit trees on sidewalks. Seattle, Boston, San Francisco, and Asheville all have public urban orchards.

A mature apple tree produces 400-500 pounds of fruit per year. A mature pear tree can produce for 75 years.

Cities pride themselves on their tree cover. We've decided that trees are important, but we haven't fully decided those trees should feed people yet.

Would you support urban fruit trees and vegetables in your city?

Reckless deeds have escalating punishments. Israel's karma would be worth living long to see. And worth enduring all the present day inflation.

Everyone watch senior military advisor to Iran supreme leader’s chilling interview to CNN. He makes clear:

Iran wants $24 billion up front and in return… keeps Hormuz & charges “fees”

That's why most desi men can’t relate with RaGa who does scuba and free diving, aikido, eats low carb, is relaxed around women who aren’t his family.

We relate to those who eat maida fry food, give gyan on yoga without ever doing it and are professional black belt in burping.

राहुल गांधी जी पिछले कई महीने से सरकार को चेतावनी दे रहे थे कि आर्थिक सुनामी आने वाली है। लेकिन तब नरेंद्र मोदी और तमाम मंत्री चुनावी सभाओं में व्यस्त थे।

अब RBI ने उसी आर्थिक सुनामी के संकेत दे दिए हैं। विकास दर का अनुमान घटा दिया गया है मित्रों।

खैर, राजा को “मेलोनी + मोदी = मेलोडी” जैसी स्तरहीन और छिछली राजनीति से फुर्सत मिलेगी तो देश की अर्थव्यवस्था की ओर देखेंगे।
