60 attended Oct. 6 Ohio Power Board Siting hearing in New Albany for NEO gas plant to help power Meta Prometheus data center. 3 plants were approved with no public notice or hearing. Why wasn't hearing held in Licking County, where gas plant would be built? @ccbecker271.bsky.social
From left are Save Ohio Parks volunteers Cathy Cowan Becker, board president; Shannon Flanders of Westerville; and Rebecca Malik of New Albany.

Save Ohio Parks board member Malik testified about moving to Ohio from Washington, D.C., and choosing New Albany due in part to its beautiful environment. Now, she said, it's threatened by NEO and six other major gas plants approved and proposed to power data centers. (Save Ohio Parks Photo)
Mimi Plevin-Foust, board member of Faith Communities Together for a Sustainable Future (FaCT), spoke of her father, who grew up in Weirton, W.Va., which has ranked among U.S. cities with the worst air quality because of fine particulate matter. 

He developed pulmonary fibrosis that killed him in his 70s. She said now that we've cleaned up air pollution, we should not release it again with gas to power data centers. (Save Ohio Parks Photo)
Molly Scott, nature educator at Healthy New Albany, asked the Ohio Power Siting Board how she should explain to the children she teaches that the state would approve a major gas plant, knowing the pollution it would create and the harm that pollution does to children and communities. (Save Ohio Parks Photo) 

Buckeye Environmental Network board member Greg Pace testified that NEO alone would create over 100 Olympic-sized swimming pools worth of toxic, radioactive gas and oil fracking waste brine per year, which would be disposed of in Class II injections wells - where it often migrates into other wells and now threatens drinking water in Marietta.

In Spain they are still protesting for affordable housing. Notice the lack of thug police inciting violence, and therefore the complete lack of violence. In sharp contrast with Macron's Police Thug State.

#ResistanceRoots Mary Engle Pennington was born on this day in 1872 in Nashville, Tenn. She was a pioneering bacteriological chemist, food scientist and refrigeration engineer who developed the “cold chain” of food safety. Every time you buy fresh food or open your fridge, thank Dr. Pennington. /1
Mary Engle Pennington in 1940. Dr. Pennington’s legacy is woven into the fabric of modern food systems and public health. As a chemist and engineer, she took a chaotic, unregulated and often lethal food supply network and engineered it into a secure, predictable system. Every time we open a modern home refrigerator, buy a fresh carton of milk or eat frozen foods shipped across continents, we are benefiting from her research and development. Before her work, bacterial contaminants in unrefrigerated food were a death sentence for American children. With the distribution of 1.5 million free domestic safety bulletins, she taught an entire nation how to properly cool and zone food. Pennington also battled systemic gender discrimination, not with loud protests, but with bulletproof, undeniably superior empirical data. We owe a debt of gratitude to this brilliant, soft-spoken Quaker who quietly saved millions of lives by keeping food cool. Photo credit: Smithsonian Institution.

Honouring MARY ANN SHADD CARY Oct 9 1823 to June 5 1893 First Black Woman Publisher in North America & the very First Woman Publisher in Canada🇨🇦1853 • youtu.be/KpBlHj2jS_8 • en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_An... • www.canadashistory.ca/explore/wome... #BlackWomen #Women #CanadianHistory #history

In 1853, Mary Ann launched The Provincial Freeman, Canada's first antislavery newspaper. She was the first Black woman newspaper editor in North America. She personally smuggled copies of the paper across the border into the U.S. so that her message could reach as many Americans as possible. Mary Ann
Shadd was the first of 13 children born into a prominent abolitionist family in Delaware on 9 October 1823. Her father, Abraham Doras Shadd, was a shoemaker in Wilmington, Delaware, and a leader among Delaware's free Black community. Her mother was Harriet Parnell from North Carolina.
Their home was a stop on the
Underground Railroad that assisted freedom seekers out of Maryland and Delaware into the Free State of Pennsylvania and beyond.

Trauma endures in Paris suburb after police grenade shatters teenager's jaw: 'They maim a student, leave, and then what? How are we supposed to pick up the pieces?'
On September 28, 14-year-old Eden suffered a fractured jaw and lost most of his teeth after he was struck in the face by a tear-gas grenade fired at close range, just a few meters from his high school, where a protest was taking place. Students, teachers and parents spoke of their fear, anger and sense of helplessness.

Our entire culture-from media to religion-tells us sexual assault is a stranger attacking you in a dark alley. We deny our most likely assailants are male friends and male family. Then when women experience the most likely assault and feel confusion, we blame women or psych labels. It’s the culture.
