By the end of September, more than half of the world’s countries could fit inside the land burned this year in Canada. “I can’t think of any analogy for the extent to which the modern records were not only broken but destroyed here,” says climate scientist John Abatzoglou. Read more:

My Palestinian grandparents probably never imagined their dispossession story to be told to 6,000 people on a remote island in the pacific, but they’d have loved it regardless 🥹. I feel I did them justice today. Thank you everyone for the great turnout 💚🇵🇸

Your regular reminder that pandemics are social problems, which cannot be solved by the products of biomedical research if the social infrastructure necessary for delivering said products is in fucking tatters.

New Zealand, our govt on our behalf gave Israel a free pass to “defend itself” while it’s wiping out 2m people in Gaza. 7k were killed so far, & comms from Gaza shut down today. Today is the day we ask to stop the genocide. Not on our behalf. Join us in any of these protests 👇

As a cybersecurity expert, I say do not ever use one of those DNA testing services. Your genetic data will be used to harm you. I'm autistic, so I have my own extra reason to avoid them. They want to find "autism genes" to eliminate us from the gene pool.

It’s time to spell it out loud and clear. “Endemic” is a racist, classist, ableist and ageist word that means some people are worth less than others. It is part of “the price one pays for progress” that the expendable must be thrown under the wheel. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

The other piece is that when we actually look at the use of the word endemic—both currently and historically—there is an implicit and sometimes explicit part of the definition of that term that means a disease is endemic when the people who are bearing the burden of infection and disease are people who we don’t really care about.

Aly and Heim: Compromise was looked upon as a mark of intellectual laziness, while patently criminal acts were spuriously dignified as historical necessity, 'the price one pays for progress'. The size and qualitative composition of the population were to be continuously monitored and regulated through government programmes of birth control (and birth promotion), resettlement and extermination.

Hey guys! Let's support our low-vision friends and prod Blue Sky to improve the functionality for screenreades. Email support@bluesky.com as Jaime and I have. Note that you can easily copy the text in the screenshot from the alt-text. #NEISVoid, #mecfs, #LongCovid

Email to support@bluesky.com saying: I’ve been working to organize the chronic illness community and help them get to Blue Sky. As a result, more than 1500 chronically ill people have gotten codes to join Blue Sky, and the community is coming together really well.

However, I’m concerned about accessibility issues. In particular, i’ve learned that the site currently functions very poorly for those who use screen readers. See this tweet, for example: https://twitter.com/blind_scholar/status/1709359830564245702. While I really appreciate the way you have prioritized alt text on Blue Sky, this is a key access issue. Can you let me know how soon you plan to address it?
