We are Issam and Sahar, a family living in Gaza with our 6-month-old twins, Adnan and Reem. ❤️
Our babies need a safe and clean place to live, basic essentials, and proper care. We are currently living in a tent and struggling to provide the necessities they need.
If you can donate or simply share our campaign, you can help us get through this difficult time. Every share and every donation means so much to our family. 🙏

Tomorrow I am running the first of a series of fundraising one shots to fund a wheelchair for a friend.
This one is a Dungeons & Dragons game in which you'll be questing through a dungeon to collect the parts of a wheelchair for a disabled Queen.
I'm running it on Foundry & Google Meet (no account or download required for either).

Edit: raised $50 so far. Please help us get that other $700 covered ASAP? If you can't cover it all, any part of it you can cover is less still to raise.
Not to put too fine a point on it, but if we can't raise Atha and Inara the $750 to cover immigration bureaucracy within the next week, a cascade of problems will unfold that jeopardizes the future of not only Atha and Inara, but also the entire project of the Vulpibus. Problems including a $500 fine imposed in court, points on the license, more expensive insurance, inability to get paid work in the USA and probably inability to leave the USA for any chosen reason too. Problems also potentially including deportation of Atha back to the UK.
USCIS made a mistake and they are leaving it to us to pick up the pieces, and fast.
Can you help?

The unbearable cost of surviving in Gaza
•• In Gaza, a 75-amp battery can cost up to 10,000 shekels — around $3,300.
Imagine that.
A mobile phone screen that once cost around $50 before the war can now cost $400.
A 1,000-liter water tank that used to cost around $40 can now cost more than $300, even when it is second-hand.
These are not luxuries. They are basic necessities: electricity, communication, and clean water.
Yet their prices have become unimaginable while our sources of income have disappeared.
Every day, families in Gaza are forced to make impossible choices: food or water, medicine or electricity, repairing a phone or feeding their children.
How can a family survive when the cost of almost everything has multiplied while there is little or no income?
For my family, this is our daily reality. We are trying to provide food, clean water, and basic necessities for our children while living through conditions that have made ordinary life almost impossible.
If you can donate to my family, even a small amount can help us buy food and meet one urgent need. If you cannot donate, please share our story. Your support could be the reason our children have a meal today. ❤️🩹

It's a tea-saster! A catastroph-tea! Atha, whose vessel origin is British, is left without a working electric kettle after the Vulpibus kettle was damaged by fire, by chemicals and by falling. Seriously, that kettle has seen some things.
Can we get a new one? The cheap plastic ones start from like $14, a metal one that might last longer is probably a bit pricier.
And maybe a pizza? It's been months since the Vulpibus folks enjoyed one.
In better news though, all the solar panels are up on the Vulpibus now! Yay!

Fundraising campaign update
Hey everyone, so today I wanted to provide an update to our GoFundMe campaign! We’re currently 21 percent of the way towards our initial fundraising goal. The campaign has seen a lot of clicks and interest, but progress has been slower than expected. If you’ve already donated or shared the link, thank you. Your support helps keep the site running and focused on the music.
TheNwothm is an 100% independent non-profit project run entirely by volunteers from around the world. Since launching in 2023, we’ve covered hundreds of bands through news, reviews and interviews. Our aim is to give artists a platform and keep traditional heavy metal alive.

We have a very urgent need to help Atha and @Kuniti_shino at @vulpinelabs make car loan and credit card payments that are well past due before the repo people catch up.
The car is needed for day to day runabout and safety. We need to find around $2000 to cover these needs ASAP for two beans who are stuck in cracks in the system and their health.

Today's food mutual aid request has been fulfilled (yay!)
Now let's see how much of Atha's debts run up trying to survive we can pay off...
The total debts are in the region of $50-60k if you include student loans.
But the immediate needs (to avoid car repo and excessive credit card and overdraft fees) are more like $2000.What can we do to put a dent in that today?

College-Affiliated #PublicMedia Stand to Lose Big Under Cuts
The Trump administration’s cuts to #PublicRadio and television may create #NewsDeserts and limit experiential learning opportunities for students.
By Ashley Mowreader, July 23, 2025
"Recent federal cuts are hacking at an additional piece of college and university budgets and operations: on-campus broadcast and radio stations.
"On July 18, Congress voted to rescind $1.1 billion in federal funds for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (#CPB), which gives money to #NPR, #PBS and their member stations. The move hurts #LocalStations across the country, particularly in #rural regions, as well as dozens of broadcast hubs located at or affiliated with #colleges.
"More than half of NPR’s 1,000 member stations are licensed to or affiliated with colleges or #universities, according to NPR’s website. A 2019 PBS article listed 49 university and college public television licensees, a majority of which belong to public institutions—many of them flagship or public #LandGrant universities, but some community and technical #colleges as well.
"Data analysis by Alex Curley, a former NPR staffer and author of the blog Semipublic, found that university licensees were far more dependent than non-college affiliated stations on 'non-operating revenue,' which includes #CPBFunding and other money allocated by their parent organization to cover losses. Out of the 173 public stations Curley analyzed, 129 university licensees relied on nonoperating revenue for about 41 percent of their total revenue, compared to the 21 percent it covered for non-college–affiliated stations.
" 'For stations that lose federal funding, especially those who are losing a lot in relation to total revenue, that’s going to put a huge burden on their parent organization [the college or university] because they’re the only ones who can cover that deficit,' Curley said.
"On average, CPB funding makes up 12 percent of independently owned and operated public radio stations’ budgets, according to Northwestern University’s Medill School 2023 State of Local News Report. Curley’s analysis found that 15 percent of all stations relied on federal funding for 50 percent or more of their total revenue intake.
"An Inside Higher Ed analysis of Curley’s data found that cuts to CPB and other relevant federal funding could decimate university-based stations’ expected revenue.
Methodology
"To compile his database, Adopt a Station, Curley drew on two types of financial reports by public broadcast statements to identify where they sourced their revenue and how much federal funding they received. Based on these reports, Curley estimated how a lack of CPB dollars and other relevant grants would impact total revenue sources. [See the full database at link below.]
"#HowardUniversity’s TV station, #WHUT — which was recently awarded two Emmys for its work—lost as much as 21 percent, based on 2023 numbers from the station’s financial reports of revenue from federal sources.
"#KISU, the local station for #IdahoStateUniversity students and community members—which produces the athletics broadcast for Division 1 sports—is also poised to take a hit; 30 percent of the station’s funding comes from student fees, but an additional 30 percent comes from CPB.
"Some institutions host both radio and TV stations that saw budgets slashed. At #VincennesUniversity in #Indiana, TV station #WVUT is projected to lose 39 percent of its usual revenue from CPB dollars, while radio station #WVUB could lose 27 percent, according to Curley’s data, which would place greater pressure on the institution to fill the gap.
"In #WashingtonState, #SkagitValleyCommunityCollege’s radio station, #KSVR—which provides bilingual reporting to the Mount Vernon community, hosted by staff, local and student volunteers—is projected to lose 20 percent of its revenue.
"The cuts will also likely reduce opportunities on many campuses for students to gain hands-on experience working in a newsroom or alongside professionals. When cuts took place at public media stations in the past, those affiliated with a college or university were less likely to see reductions in force, Curley said—in part because the university could cover the losses they incurred.
"Now, in an environment where colleges and universities are facing deficits across revenue sources, college-based media stations have less of a safety net.
" 'I have no idea what’s going to happen,' Curley said. 'It’s almost new territory for many university licensees.'
"#ElizabethCityStateUniversity’s on-campus station, #WRVS, has five employees and a gaggle of student interns, work-study students and community volunteers who keep the station up and running. But under the latest federal cuts, WRVS’s expected revenue will be slashed an estimated 71 percent.
"Not every university-affiliated station has the same reliance on federal dollars; the University of Georgia’s WUGA, for instance, reported that just 1 percent of total revenue came from federal funds in 2023. The University of Florida’s WUFT-FM received about 5 percent of total revenue from the government, thanks in part to #fundraising efforts and in part to the success of the station in its local area, Curley said.
"A 2023 survey of 215 public radio stations found that, on average, colleges contribute less than 15 percent of funding to affiliated radio stations, and 80 percent of stations thought it was unlikely that they would receive additional financial support from their institution.
"In some parts of the country, student publications, radio and TV stations are the singular source of news for communities. But a lack of funding and support for current operations remains a primary barrier to getting more students involved in public media, according to a 2023 survey by the University of Vermont.
"The move to cut funding for CPB is generally unpopular with Americans. A Harris Poll on behalf of NPR published in July found that two-thirds of nearly 2,100 Americans surveyed support federal funding for public radio, with a similar number calling it a good value for taxpayer dollars. A 2025 survey found that 47 percent of viewers say PBS’s value for public dollars is excellent and an additional 29 percent said it’s good."

Group outraged as controversial mining project breaks ground on site of massacre: ‘[We] were not consulted’
Rick Kazmer
Sun, November 19, 2023"A lithium mine is being constructed on #Nevada land that’s culturally important to #NativeAmericans. The project by #LithiumAmericas is at #ThackerPass, where on Sept. 12, 1865, United States soldiers massacred Native Americans, killing up to 50 people, according to the Guardian.
"Now, 158 years later, the Thacker Pass area has been identified as having the country’s largest #lithium lode. But members of tribal communities who consider the land sacred told the Guardian that they have been left out of the discussion as the operation moves forward, a point contested by the company on its website.
“'All the people here on the reservation were not consulted when this mine was approved,' Dorece Sam, a descendant of one of three survivors of the massacre, told the newspaper.
Why is lithium important?"Lithium is a key part of #batteries that power electric vehicles #EVs and other tech. Much of it is refined on the other side of the world, with Australia and China among the leaders. The U.S., however, is among the global leaders in underground lithium reserves, with more than 13 million tons, according to Visual Capitalist, an online data collector.
"Proponents of mining the untapped U.S. reserve cite the need to gain independence from China for lithium and other metals, a goal marked at the highest level of our government.
"LithiumMining, however, can be invasive. Native Americans interviewed by the Guardian said that since it’s happening on sacred land, it’s an invasion of the highest order.
"'You can’t blow up a mountain and call it green,' Max Wilbert of Protect Thacker Pass said in a press release quoted on the Sacred Land Film Project website.
What’s the impact?
"Mining at Thacker Pass is projected to use about 1.7 billion gallons of #water, producing more than 66,000 tons of lithium a year, per the Guardian.
"Company officials claim on their website that the project has been planned for a decade with input from tribal leaders. They plan to permanently employ 500 people for at least 40 years, generating $8 billion in tax payments during the mine’s lifetime.
"At least two tribes have lawsuits filed against the project. However, tribal historic preservation officer Michon Eben told the Guardian that activity on the land is already disturbing.
"'So, if any tribes or anybody wanted to mitigate that destruction, what are we going to mitigate?' Eben said to the newspaper, noting frustration with the court system.
What’s being done to help?"#Noninvasive lithium mining, or alternatives to the metal for use in batteries, is in the works in labs worldwide. The right solution could eliminate the need for #mining, or lithium, altogether.
"To help Native Americans protect Thacker Pass, you can research their story. The #SacredLandFilmProject has several ways to help, including #fundraising, calling #media and #officials, and sharing the story on #SocialMedia to highlight the cause."
