Before the war, my dream was simple: I wanted to continue my education, build a future, and one day be able to support my parents, my brother, and my sister. Like millions of young people around the world, I believed that with hard work, determination, and education, I could build a better life.
Then the war came and everything changed.
For nearly three years, my family and I have been living in a displacement camp. Every day has become a struggle just to survive:
Severe Heat: The summer heat inside our tent is unbearable, turning it into an oven during the day making it difficult to sleep or rest.
Water Scarcity: Clean water is extremely difficult to find, requiring long walks carrying heavy buckets. Every liter matters.
Food Shortages: Food is scarce and basic items have become far too expensive.
Medical Care: Healthcare is extremely limited, making even simple illnesses frightening.
Despite everything, I still refuse to give up. I have received an acceptance from the University of Glasgow. For me, this is more than an academic opportunity—it is a dream I have carried for years to study in Europe, gain knowledge, build a career, and return that opportunity to my family by creating a better future for them.
Financial Requirements:
Tuition Fees (University of Glasgow): £33,000
I am not asking for a luxury life. I am asking for a chance: a chance to study, to rebuild my life, to support my parents after everything they have endured, and to give my younger siblings hope that our future can still be different.

complete my education, build a future, and support my family. Like millions of young people, I believed hard work and study could build a better life.
Then war came, and everything changed.
For nearly three years, my family and I have been living in a displacement camp in Gaza under a harsh siege. Every day is a struggle to find clean water, basic food, and shelter from the extreme heat inside our tent.
Despite everything, I refuse to give up on life and education. I have received an official acceptance from the University of Glasgow. This isn't just an academic offer; it is a lifeline to rebuild our lives and give my younger siblings hope. However, the tuition fees (£33,000) are far beyond what my family can afford after losing everything.
To make things more urgent, my mother is currently in critical condition and in dire need of urgent medical treatment and surgery.
Getting essential, life-saving medical care in what remains of Gaza's collapsed healthcare system is nearly impossible without immediate support.
Surviving a real-life siege in this day and age sounds absurd, but it is our daily reality. We need your help to secure the medical care my mother urgently needs and to help me pursue my education.
100% Direct Impact: Thanks to our fundraising setup, every single cent goes directly to my family with zero transfer fees, ensuring we can cover medical expenses and basic survival immediately.
How You Can Help: Every donation—no matter how small—brings us closer to health, dignity, and a future. If you cannot donate, please share this post. One share could reach someone who can save a life.

From my father, my mother, my brother, my sister, and myself: Thank you for giving us hope when hope feels so far awa

PSL: Comprehensive Report from the Central Committee in Response to Marissa Sanchez’s Letter
(thelemmy.club)
The PSL just released two documents related to the recent Marissa Sanchez post detailing her experiences at the national level of the PSL. I'm going to be posting both of them as well as their full text for archival purposes.
I should note a couple things before I link these things:
- At multiple points, the report mentions that Marissa was reportedly fine and thankful during and after the immediate events of this incident and it's cover up. This is shown to be an example of proof that she was fine at the time, and leads into building the case that this is a factional decision. However, I am not convinced that this means she is cynically using this to split the party for her own ends. Betrayal Blindness is a collection of responses and symptoms broadly related to a person being betrayed by someone whom they rely on for financial, personal, romantic, or political needs. In order to come to terms with my experience of the same exact tendencies on a local level I read the book "Betrayal Blindness" by Jennifer Freyd, and I implore everyone to read it as well.
- Repeatedly they claim this is the result of a factional dispute. That might even be true in some ways, perhaps Marissa saw that there was a different way to organize going forward and it gave her the ability to be able to accept the abuse she faced. This, however, doesn't have to only come from a sense of macabre cynicism, being able to finally use her trauma as a loaded gun to split the party for her own selfish ends as described in the article. For myself, when I stepped away from the party for my Leave of Absence, I was able to begin to be engaged in mass organizing work that I wasn't in prior, that I didn't have the time for. This has given me the courage to be able to stand up and say that I don't think is acceptable at all.
- I am not in a faction, have not been in communication with anyone in a faction, and my disgust is only colored by my own similar experiences and emotional waves being thrown right back in my face as someone who's faced the exact same tactics myself. I'm genuinely just a trans woman by myself, I have some friends and comrades, but our local branch is still up in the air
The party routinely expects things like this to be leaked, so they prepare for the possibility. Given they already know we're going to do this, I'm just going to share the documents here for you and others here, and I leave it up to you and your comrades to decide how you feel about the party and it's current leadership. For me, the emphasis on how this fits into factional warfare is not only not convincing, but honestly disgusting.

Anthropic's AI apparently has a "fondness" for Mark Fisher (Capitalist Realism, et al)
(en.wikipedia.org)
from Wikipedia:
In April 2026, AI company Anthropic released their new Mythos large language model. The system card noted that the model had a specific but unexplained 'fondness' for Fisher, bringing him up in "several separate and unrelated conversations about philosophy." When asked to elaborate on him in particular, Claude Mythos Preview would respond with statements like “I was hoping you’d ask about Fisher.” The model showed a similar unexplained affection for American philosopher Thomas Nagel.[57]
was just looking up his anthology so i could see what books of his my local book store had, was surprised by this and figured i'd share 
i'm sure the issue of their AI producing even remotely based or sympathetic views to leftism will be fixed in the next patch

On the Norwegian-language side of NRK there's just one banner, because in both Bokmål and Nynorsk the title "King" is "Kong"^[The noun "king", however, is konge with an E at the end. Also, I recall reading a joke as a kid about how the king before last was bad at English and accidentally introduced himself as King Kong Olav. Har har.], but I guess for NRK Sápmi they have a quota about equality between Northern Sámi, Lule Sámi, and Southern Sámi (from top to bottom), and each of these three languages has a different word for "King", and they really couldn't think of a more elegant solution than tripling the amount of space taken up by this banner which is (for a republican like me) already intrusive enough when it's a third its size.
The proto-Sámic word for king was *konëŋkēs, loaned from proto-Germanic *kuningaz whence English king and Norwegian kong(e). The Sámic languages constitute a branch of the Uralic languages, putting them in the same family as Finnish, Estonian, Hungarian, and a bunch of Russian Indigenous languages; Germanic languages are Indo-European.
