(AI actually has been used in science and medicine for decades and is incredibly good at doing things like finding cancer that can’t be seen with the human eye but that is a completely different type of AI then we’re all angry about it and we shouldn’t discuss them in the same conversations TBH)

Natural Causes is a podcast about the politics and practicalities of going outside in a world on fire, hosted by @jamesstout.bsky.social. It approaches the outdoors, conservation, agriculture, food sovereignty, fire management and Indigenous land rights as interconnected issues.

I’m less curious about how Jason Arday got his appointment at Cambridge than I am about how Noah Carl, who published in Nazi pseudoscience journal Mankind Quartetly, got his, and how Nate Cofnas, also fired for being a race science crank, got his.

The crowd was equally indignant, reportedly booing whenever Cunningham touched the ball.

This, 10000%. This statistic (TW: SA) is so important to keep in mind. And to remember that whoever's pushing forgiveness, assuming it's not coming organically from the harmed party, almost always wants to maintain the status quo / existing power structure. By definition.

We're in a moment where straight size women are panicking because they're seeing themselves rewritten as part of an out group, and many are panicking. That panic response: reach for in group status by excluding the out group even harder. No solidarity. No empathy. Just self-preservation.

Black text on white bg 
“It would take far more than a month to honor the contributions of queer and transgender New Yorkers.
 
From the Cercle Hermaphroditos in 1895, the first trans advocacy group in the United States, to the drag balls of the Harlem Renaissance, to the Stonewall uprising, to the Lesbian Herstory Archives, to ACT UP!, founded in 1987 as queer people fought for their lives while the Reagan administration looked away, New York City's history has long been shaped by queer and trans New Yorkers.
 
To all our queer and trans neighbors: you deserve a City where you can afford to live safely, openly, and joyfully.
 
Happy Pride, New York City.”
