I am a father of two children 👨‍👧‍👦 from Gaza 🇵🇸, currently living through extremely difficult humanitarian conditions after losing my home due to the war 💔, and I am now displaced far from my original place of residence.

Life here is filled with daily challenges 😔, especially when it comes to providing basic needs such as food 🍞, water 💧, and care for my children.

My children are everything I have in this life ❤️, and I am doing my best to provide them with the minimum level of safety and food, but the current situation is very hard, and sometimes I cannot even provide them with a proper meal during the day 🍽️.

I also want to be able to provide my children with their school needs 🎒, such as supplies, stationery ✏️, and basic materials that help them continue their education despite the difficult conditions 📚.

I am only writing this because I have reached a point where I can no longer manage on my own 😞. Therefore, I am asking for help from anyone who is able to support, even with a small amount 💵, as it may help feed my children or ease part of our suffering.

Every contribution, no matter how small, makes a big difference in our lives 🌱. And if you are unable to help financially, sharing this post 📢 could reach someone who can, and that would also be a great support for us.

I still believe there are kind hearts 🤍 that can help in times of need.

Thank you to everyone who read this post 🙏, and thank you to everyone who helps or shares the message.🥹👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Take a moment and ask yourself, a project like this requires a lot of time, money and dedication of resources, why would scientists dedicate that time to something that could just be done by a tree?

The answer is they wouldn't. So that means this claim requires further investigation!

This project is called LIQUID 3, and it's not meant for cities with wide open spaces, it's meant for cities like Belgrade in Serbia. These cities are densely populated and heavily polluted, to the point where pollution actually chokes out current trees and makes creating green spaces difficult.

Liquid 3 was a PhD scientists answer to these problems. The microalgae tank is intended for spaces where you either:

Don't have enough space to plant full trees, or

Don't have enough time to plant trees and wait for them to grow up.

The tank is extremely efficient when you consider the amount of space needed compared to the amount of CO2 turned into oxygen. The tank can operate throughout the winter. And most importantly, it can be quickly set up in areas that desperately need relief from air pollution NOW not in 10 years when trees are done growing. Children currently suffocating on polluted air can't wait for trees to grow, they need to be taken care of now, and Liquid 3 is one of the ways to take care of them. Depending on the species of microalgea used, a number have shown a pretty amazing capacity to pull heavy metals out of the air which is something trees can get choked up by.

The tanks aren't just tanks either! Liquid 3 have solar panels placed on top, they have lighting and mobile phone charging, and they work as public benches. The designers of it want to encourage green spaces where there's room, but where there isn't room or time, Liquid 3 can step in. Realistically, this isn't a replacement for trees. It's replacing boring metal city benches with new, cooler benches that also clean the air (and have at least some heating during the winter).

Not only that, but the microalgea that grows is native to Serbia and all that microalgea has a ton of great uses! It makes for great fertilizer, compost, wastewater treatment, cleaner biofuels and even for helping create new tanks for further air purification. They only require a quick algae divide once a month, and the produced algae can be carted off to where ever it's needed. This makes them effective solutions for areas that can't sustain complex installations.

Hoodoo is distinct in that it involves working with specific ancestral spirits and deities, many of whom remain unfamiliar to the broader spiritual community. This sacred connection extends beyond mere knowledge; it is an intimate relationship with spirits deeply ingrained in the Hoodoo pantheon. These spiritual entities are closely tied to the experiences of Black Americans, and understanding them requires a profound awareness of one's lineage.

:

Hoodoo is considered a closed practice, meaning that access to its teachings is earned through guidance and mentorship. True practitioners are taught; they don't self-proclaim. Unfortunately, there is a concerning trend of non-Black individuals claiming to practice Hoodoo without a genuine understanding of its essence. Many cannot name a single spirit from the Hoodoo pantheon, exposing a significant gap in their knowledge.

It's crucial to distinguish Hoodoo from general folk magick practices. Hoodoo demands practitioners to delve into their lineage, understand their history, and grow in spiritual wisdom. The conflation of Hoodoo with generic folk magick demonstrates a lack of comprehension about the unique cultural and historical underpinnings that define Hoodoo. Hoodoo requires knowledge of the American slave trade and its affects on black Americans

Ancestral spirits within Hoodoo are discerning entities, recognizing color and lineage. Contrary to the notion that spirits lack prejudice, Hoodoo practitioners assert that ancestral spirits work closely with their descendants. Given the historical context of slavery and oppression, it becomes inconceivable for these spirits to collaborate with those from the very lineage responsible for their suffering.

:

Unlike some other African Traditional Religions (ATRs), Hoodoo has resisted commercialization and exploitation. Its practitioners emphasize the sanctity of their belief system, urging others to respect and protect it. The appropriation of Hoodoo by those outside its cultural lineage is viewed as a disservice to its profound spiritual significance.

:

Hoodoo is not merely a set of rituals; it is a sacred tapestry woven with the threads of Black American history, spirituality, and resilience. The claim that anyone, irrespective of background, can practice Hoodoo disregards its closed nature and the imperative to honor its cultural specificity. It is time to acknowledge and respect the boundaries of Hoodoo, safeguarding its authenticity and the spiritual legacy it represents.

Every time I rewatched John’s death scene in the GDW anime as a kid I always jokingly wondered how John would react in the afterlife once he realized Hiro had been feeding him a bunch of white lies minutes before his death. 

As someone who is in a closed practice, when someone tells you to leave closed practices alone and not to mess with them, we have our reasons! Closed practices are not a "follow your heart" thing if you aren't a part of that culture. Full stop. In my practice I am sworn not to teach anyone outside my blood descendants because our magic is not for people outside our culture. You don't know how to work with our entities! You don't know how to deal with them when they decide to knock your ass down a peg!

If you are not a part of a specific culture, leave that culture's practices alone. To drive in my point I will share a story about my experience with a Lwa (An entity integral to a cultural practice for African-American people- Hoodoo) in a dream as a message to someone who that practice was meant for.

To preface this, I am not black. I have trace African ancestry but that's it. Not enough to claim black culture as my own. I am Italian-American and Irish, that's it. It's why I am a Strega.

Cw for graphic dream shit below this line.

But anyway, I had a dream of a Lwa and my roommate, who is black and has since taken up some Hoodoo practices after I told them about this dream.

This Lwa warned me to get out of the way as she was going toward my roommate to defend them. I did, but her claws grazed my face. So began a long, painful process of boils, skin necrosis, coughing up some weird substance, losing teeth. It hurt. My roommate appeared beside me and smeared some kind of remedy on my face and I began to vomit up something like wet skin. My teeth regrew, my skin stopped rotting and regenerated. My roommate in the dream said, "This is my path. Be careful not to get in her way again." And I woke up still hurting- still THROBBING- in the face.

The moral of the story, don't mess with things you're not a part of. They can and will fuck you up.

I am Iman Rouqa from Gaza, a mother of three young children.💔 I live in a dilapidated tent after the war destroyed my life. It destroyed my home and my source of livelihood

, and I was injured by shrapnel. I went into a coma that lasted for two months,😭 during which I had blood clots and a heart attack, which led to severe weakness in the heart muscle. The doctors made a decision not to get pregnant at all💔..

But God willed that I later become pregnant again.

Now I need to take all the necessary medications,💉 including blood thinners, heart medications, vitamins, supplements, and pregnancy calcium.💊 I also need follow-up appointments with cardiologists and pregnancy specialists, and monthly echocardiograms.

I urgently need these medications and supplements. I'm only asking for what will save me and my baby from the clutches of illness, weakness, and frailty. May God grant you success and heal your sick🛑. Any small donation could save me and protect my baby from any danger🥺.
