It's Sakher 🍉 @sakher23.bsky.social · 7m

I’m back, still broken, still trying to rebuild what’s left of my life.
The war took everything — my home, my dreams, my peace.
Now I’m just asking for one thing: don’t leave me alone.
Please keep supporting me

Please help Sakher take care of his family. Everyone in Gaza is so, so tired and the situation is still very difficult.

Trump was never in actual contention for the Nobel. If anything they gave him a consolation prize by awarding it to a vocal supporter of his.

But also, Kissinger.

They say the war is over... but the pain inside me hasn’t ended.
The bombs may have stopped falling, but the struggle is far from over.
I'm Sakher — a young man who lost everything in this war.
My home… gone. My memories, my work, my future all destroyed

Friends, I am feeling extremely depressed. I haven’t even been lucky enough to see or embrace what’s left of my memories, my clothes, my bed, and my room in my home, as my city is still under the grip of occupation.
I feel a very, very, very deep depression.

The last 2 Halloweens were pretty difficult, seeing the parades of kids in their costumes against the background of the constant news about children in Gaza. I can't imagine how difficult it has been for the diaspora.

I hope this one is much, much happier.

And while I do think its unlikely the ostriches are a huge risk, they are still a risk that can't be quantified. Because an H5N1 pandemic would be so catastrophic, this is a risk we can't afford to take.

Rasmussen, of course, is also acutely aware the scientific issues involve the possibility of a global pandemic. The farm has exhibited a persistent lack of biosecurity, with humans and wild animals such as ducks in the outdoor pens with the ostriches, and most pandemics are the result of what’s called reassortment: where different strains of flu mix and create a new strain. H5 hasn’t been overly menacing to humans so far, but that could change.

“I’m not too worried about this virus, per se,” says J. Scott Weese of the University of Guelph, a leading expert in veterinary health and infectious or parasitic animal disease. “I’m worried about what this virus could become. And the more we let it spread, and the more we mix it with other viruses, the more likely it’s going to turn into the virus that we’re worried about. Might never happen. It might have happened yesterday, and we just haven’t seen it yet.”

“Reassortment really is the thing that keeps me up at night about this,” says Rasmussen.

If the ostriches are not culled, Canada will violate its trade agreements for managing avian flu outbreaks. This could cause our trading partners to ban Canadian poultry imports and cut off the entire $2B poultry export market. Three countries have already restricted Canadian imports on this basis.

For some people, this is just about nail polish or lip gloss or eyeshadow or whatever.

For me, as an immigrant, it's about just how many people care more about sparkly shit that they wipe off than they do about my right to not be wiped off the face of the Earth.
