Thank you, everyone. I just heard from Aseel that we’ve reached her goal for this week.
Your contributions are literally helping keep a family of six alive despite Israel’s best efforts to destroy all life in Gaza.

Hey everyone, every Tuesday, my friend @Aseelsehwel asks for your help to feed her family. She can’t do it today (they’re trying to stay alive during a genocide) so she asked if I could do it on her behalf.
They need $500 each week for their family of 6.
Every single dollar makes a real difference If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing – it might reach someone who can help.
Thank you so much for your continued kindness and support.
Here’s the donation link and their full story 👇

The image is a four-panel comic strip titled "Dat is nou eenmaal mijn gevoel." It is dated August 20, 2025, and is created by Peter de Wit. The first panel shows a woman saying, "Dat is nou eenmaal mijn gevoel," while a man excitedly repeats, "Gevöel! Gevoel! Gevoel!" The second panel features the man, now with a magnifying glass, explaining that "Gevöel bestaat pas sinds de achttiende eeuw! Bedacht door hysterische romantici als Goethe en Rousseau!" The third panel shows the woman looking upset and saying, "Wat u zegt voelt gewoon niet fijn." In the fourth panel, the man is confused, saying, "Ik dacht echt dat die gevoelshype over zou waaien," while another man laughs and says, "Jij met je denken!" The comic humorously explores the concept of "gevoel" (feeling) and its historical context.

Where memory lingers and silence blooms.
Australia Plains Cemetery, Australia Plains, Australia, Jul 2021.
Location: 431 Cemetery Rd, Australia Plains, within the Regional Council of Goyder.
While exact founding dates are elusive, the cemetery reflects settlement patterns from the late 19th century, tied to Lutheran communities and agricultural expansion in the area.
The region was historically home to German Lutheran settlers, and nearby sites like Emmaus Lutheran Church suggest the cemetery may have served that community.
The cemetery is modest in scale but rich in local heritage, with inscriptions that reflect family histories, migration stories, and the resilience of early settlers.

Japanese Power Plant Turns Saltwater Into Electricity
Japan has opened its first osmotic power plant – so what is it and how does it work?
The site in Fukuoka is only the second power plant of its type in the world, harnessing the power of osmosis to run a desalination plant in the cityIma Caldwell (The Guardian)

I sounds more like it makes electricity out of fresh water, destroying it in the process (turning it into saltwater through osmosis/dilution). Sure… if there is some crazy salty water you have, and want to turn it into “still salty, but maybe less so”, you can indeed gather a tiny little fraction of the power.
But given that fresh water is also a precious resource in many places, this seems relatively niche.

Das Bild zeigt eine üppige Wildblumenlandschaft, die von Sonnenstrahlen durchbrochen wird, die durch die Blätter der Bäume im Hintergrund scheinen. Viele Pflanzen mit verschiedenen Blütenarten, darunter rosa und gelbe Blüten, wachsen dicht beieinander. Die Pflanzen sind hoch und dicht, und die Blüten sind in verschiedenen Stadien der Blüte. Im Hintergrund sind hohe Bäume zu sehen, die den Himmel mit ihren Blättern bedecken. Die Szene wirkt friedlich und natürlich, mit einer Vielfalt an Pflanzen und einer klaren, sonnigen Atmosphäre.
