“How did it feel for the man who built a home, only to watch it turn to the rubble? How does a farmer stand before the land he tended year after year, now lying barren—no scent of soil, no whisper of harvest? How does a father tell his son the school he loved is gone, that the garden where he played is now only a rumor in the rubble? How does a mother walk through the ghost of a playground, finding a small shoe, a torn notebook, a toy she once mended? How do neighbors look at one another, wo…

Help Sehwel family with their medical treatment
I'm Joe in the UK, I've been in touch with Aseel from the Sehwel family for over a year now and have been following their difficult struggle to afford medication, shelter and food in Gaza. I'm creating this Chuffed campaign for the family to help afford these things and hopefully help them get out of Gaza when the opportunity arises. Here's Aseel's writing:

I knew I was cranky about AI, but I guess I didn't realize just how cranky until I filled out this obnoxious and wildly boosterish questionnaire from the government of Canada.

Several of you have asked for something you can do to help Minneapolis. I have something concrete:
Here is a fundraiser for families at Seward Montessori, a Minneapolis public elementary school. Many families in the neighborhood are sheltering at home, and unable to work and/or get groceries. Parents at the school have organized this fundraiser to help out.
I know the graphic is a bit generic and doesn’t say much, but don’t worry: I can vouch for this fundraiser. It’s vetted, and it’s needed.

Greenland thoughts from Antarctica..
Greenland is all over the press at the moment for all the wrong reasons. But Greenland is also on my mind, not just because of geopolitics, but also because the Copernicus Climate service has just put out their annual global climate highlights for 2025 with some disturbing messages about Antarctica. Understanding Greenland can help us to understand also what is happening here.

Nice, open talks... , the delegation from Denmark and Greenland has to excercise self-control i think.... "U.S. President Donald Trump said Wednesday that NATO should help the U.S. acquire Greenland and anything less than American control is unacceptable, hours before Vice President JD Vance was to host Danish and Greenlandic officials for talks."

Trump says anything less than American control over Greenland ‘unacceptable’
U.S. President Donald Trump said “NATO should be leading the way for us to get it” and that otherwise Russia or China would — “AND THAT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!”
