My name is Nada, I’m 22 years old, from Gaza 🇵🇸.

I used to live a peaceful and happy life with my husband and our little child ❤️👨‍👩‍👦.

Suddenly, everything changed when our home was bombed and collapsed with all our memories 💔🏚️.

We survived miraculously, but now we live in a tent after losing everything ⛺

The war stole our sense of safety and took away my child’s bed, toys, and little dreams 😢🧸.

We asked our friends in the U.S. to help by launching a support campaign, but the link is taking some time 🇺🇸⌛.

So we had to use my friend Maram’s link temporarily 🙏.

We hope peace returns, and that we can rebuild a new life despite the pain 🌈🕊️.

Thank you to everyone standing with us, even with just a kind word — you are the light in this darkness 🤍✨.

About the closest I can get to being a duck is putting some sesame seeds in a bowl of water and sticking my face in it. Woe is me

Fossilized wonders came out and I STILL haven't finished a touhou game.

It smells fishy to me.

They are absolutely hunting for VC money by the sound of it because wanting to turn a simple, searchable database into some meme LLM chatbot is ridiculous unless you're trying to lure investors. Also one of iDigBio's founding members (Larry Page) was one of the initial creators of Google, and remains as Alphabet board member/employee/shareholder, so that will also play a massive factor.

If you're not following my bluesky, for the past few days I've been sharing communications I recieved from people working at a biodiversity database called iDigBio. They are holding a webinar on Monday the 18th to announce their plans to turn the biodiversity database into an "agentic" AI chatbot. Long story short, I engaged politely, but I just got sent a giant essay about how I'm uninformed, and the people behind this project are very smart and famous. It smells fishy to me.

I'm going to make a much nicer post with a link to the public webinar. I want people from all parts of science and the general public to tune in. Maybe ask these guys some hard questions. At the very least, people should know what is happening.

Would you all like to help? I don't exactly know what I'm doing here, but I know someone powerful wants me to keep my mouth shut, and I know biodiversity databases like iDigBio and iNat worked just fine already without AI.

save family lost their home ,dreams and everything in Gaza ��💔

This is my home before the war and after the war how it became💔💔💔

Before: After:

Before the war, we lived a simple but happy life in Gaza. Our home in Shujaiya wasn’t big or luxurious, but it was filled with peace, love, and comfort. We had our own land — a small garden where we planted vegetables, a roof where we sat on warm evenings drinking tea, laughing as a family. Our kids went to school every day with joy, dreaming about their future. We had work. We had neighbors we trusted. We had routines, family dinners, birthdays, laughter. Life wasn’t perfect, but it was ours. It was full of meaning.

The bombing started, and we had to flee our home during the first week of the war. We left everything behind — not knowing it would be the last time we would see our home standing. We first went to Rimal, hoping to be safer. That’s where we heard the news: our home, the place we built with love and hard work, was destroyed. Flattened. Just like that — gone. Everything we owned, everything we saved for, was buried under rubble.

After that, we kept running. From Rimal to Al-Zawaida. Then to Rafah. We’ve been displaced four times. Each time we carry less with us, but more pain. We sleep on floors. Sometimes there’s no roof. Sometimes we stay in tents. The nights are cold, the days are burning hot. There is no electricity, no clean water, no toilets, no privacy. We wait hours just to get a piece of bread. We lost our jobs, our income. We lost our safety, our dignity. We live in fear every day — fear of the next bomb, the next loss.

We used to dream of the future. Now, we just dream of surviving the next day.

We are the Anas family — like many families in Gaza — ordinary people who only wanted peace, a safe home, and a chance to live in dignity. But the war has taken everything from us: our home, our land, our jobs, our dreams, our stability… even our sleep.

It’s hard to write this. It's hard to ask for help. But we are desperate.

Please, if you are reading this, help us. Even a small donation could mean we sleep under a real roof again. Could help us buy medicine, food, or clean water. Could bring back a little dignity to our lives. If you cannot donate, please share this story. You might reach someone who can.

This isn’t just a story. This is our life. And we’re still living through it.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

💔

Please, we are in dire need of you and your support. If you cannot donate, you can share☹️❤️🥹

"Federal, territorial and Indigenous leaders gathered in Yellowknife this morning [July 21, 2025] to launch a landmark Indigenous-led conservation agreement that will protect nearly 380,000 square kilometres of land and water.

Following a prayer song by the Yellowknife Dene Drummers, Chief Ernest Betsina of the Yellowknives Dene First Nation opened the event, saying, “This document we signed today has been a long time in the making. It reflects years of collaboration and commitment from Indigenous leaders across the North. It reflects our shared understanding that Indigenous people have always been the stewards of the land. And it’s time for that responsibility to be recognized and supported.”

The agreement, known as NWT: Our Land for the Future, is a partnership between the federal government, territorial government and 21 Indigenous governments across the Northwest Territories. It covers existing protected areas, which will share in the long-term funding, and around 200,000 square kilometres of new protected and conserved areas — forming a region roughly twice the size of Florida. 

In addition to the $300 million in federal funding, the agreement also includes $75 million from philanthropic partners. In the next several months, the NWT: Our Land for the Future Trust will begin to distribute funds to Indigenous governments in the territory, to support activities such as conservation and stewardship, protected and conserved areas, Guardian programs, ecotourism and more. 

Echoing statements from several chiefs, territorial Minister of Environment and Climate Change Jay MacDonald said, “This agreement represents a generational investment. It will provide opportunities to support Indigenous-led stewardship, while offering real, meaningful and new opportunities to Northerners, particularly in the small communities. We are seeing a shift toward a conservation economy that puts people, community and cultural values at the centre of decision-making.”

Minister of Environment and Climate Change Canada Julie Dabrusin echoed that sentiment. “This isn’t just a conservation announcement — it’s really a global milestone. Our Land for the Future is one of the largest Indigenous-led conservation efforts in the world. The areas that it is going to help to conserve is almost seven times the size of Nova Scotia,” she said, adding that represents more than two per cent of Canada’s land-mass.

Last November, the landmark agreement was signed in Behchokǫ̀, NWT, by leaders of Indigenous governments and organizations from across the territory at a celebration that also involved jigging, drum dancing and a fire-feeding ceremony, drawing community members of all ages. 

“This partnership is about investing in our people and taking care of our land,” Danny Gaudet, Ɂek’wahtı̨dǝ́ of the Délı̨nę Got’ınę Government, said in a statement. “It’s about generating jobs that strengthen our cultures and create economic opportunities across the North. We have so much work to do to care for the land, guided by our Elders, our youth, our Guardians. The funds released today will help us honour that responsibility.”

Dahti Tsetso, the deputy director of the Indigenous Leadership Initiative and CEO of NWT: Our Land for the Future Trust, told The Narwhal in November the funds “have so much transformative potential.” In addition to generating hundreds of jobs each year, they can also support cultural and land-based programming, and create opportunities and positive examples for youth. This morning, she celebrated the “incredible milestone that so many people … put in an incredible amount of effort to get to this day.”"

pyramid conspiracies are so funny cause like yeah theyre extremely impressive feats of engineering but its not like. crazy unbelievable. i think even as a kid if you asked me how i thought the pyramids were built id be like "i think they probably cut rocks into rectangles and stacked them. it probably took a very long time." aliens or power plants would not remotely be on my list of options yknow.
