Friends, I've spent the last two days in a (terrible) 'AI in education' kinda online conference with some lovely colleagues but wow it's been discouraging. But I came home tonight to a message from a colleague at UManitoba who helped produce a large reference work on the Algonquian language family. I had contacted him b/c a grad student here is doing reconstruction on an E. Algonquian language... 1/x @linguistics@fedigroups.social #scholarship #linguistics #languageWork #goodNews 1/x

Little known fact: before #TerryCrews was a famous #actor, he was a #portrait #artist As a teenager in #Flint #Michigan he was a courtroom sketch artist. He got an #arts #scholarship to college but switched to #football. His #NFL football career was meager, he was constantly cut from rosters. So to survive financially he did locker room commissioned portraits of his teammates Talk about range Anyway here he is hand sketching #SofiaVergara https://www.instagram.com/reel/DcztcUSgZav/

I helped others during the hardest days in Gaza, but now I cannot find someone to help me protect my own future. But when I ask for guidance, a connection, or support to continue my studies, everything becomes silent. Do people from Gaza have to lose everything before someone decides their dreams are worth saving? I am not asking for pity. I am asking not to be left alone. 🇵🇸 #Gaza #Palestine #GazaYouth #Scholarship #Education #StudyAbroad #StudentsAtRisk #UniversityOfLeeds #GazaVerified

Today, with a heavy heart, I am stepping back. After losing my third chance to continue my education, and after months of searching for support with no real response, I no longer have the strength to keep chasing the same closed doors. I also need to step away from humanitarian work for now. I gave what I could to others, but I feel my own future disappearing in silence. #Gaza #Palestine #GazaStrip #GazaYouth #StudentsAtRisk #Education #Scholarship #StudyAbroad #HigherEducation #Humanitarian
