salt is not only the perfect spice for any dish that brings out richer flavors, it also has use in the winter. when snowfall sticks to the ground, if you put salt on pavement, the salt will act as an absorption device, sucking up all the snow and making paths safer. thank you salt!

A linguistics professor was lecturing his class. "In English, a double negative is a positive. In some languages, like Russian, a double negative is still a negative. But, there is no language wherein a double positive can be a negative."
A voice from the back of the room piped up, "Yeah, right."

⚠️ More than half an hour into the scheduled ceasefire, the IDF says that the ceasefire is not in effect because it claims Hamas has not provided a complete list of names of hostages to be released and confirms that it is continuing strikes within Gaza.

Over 50% of nonviolent movements to overthrow governments are successful within one year of their peak.
The key is to engage over 3.5% of the country, a cross-section of society—clergy, kids, grandmas, teachers) using DIVERSE & CREATIVE tactics, with women in leadership.
We can do this.

So you've already heard about Mohamed from me, he's a farmer and even in the refugee camp he's been growing plants.
He just got this really awful news - even despite the ceasefire, he won't be able to go back to his village.
This is his fundraiser, he is supporting many of his family members too:
