Wildfires burning across the western U.S. and Canada on Sunday left some residents keeping a wary eye out for possible evacuation orders while others already forced to flee their homes waited to see what would be left on their return.

“It’s almost impossible to transition away from fossil fuels without nickel from Indonesia,” one research analyst said. Fueling that transition are migrant workers from China, laboring in deadly conditions. Read @wufeiyu.bsky.social’s new feature, produced Grist and republished by Rest of World:

Grist identified at least 30 U.S. warehouses leaking ethylene oxide — a cancer-causing gas that’s invisible and toxic. You can check where many are located using Grist’s interactive map: grist.org/health/ethyl...

From El Paso, Texas to Richmond, Virginia, warehouses are leaking ethylene oxide, a cancer-causing chemical. Almost no one knows about them.

2022年東航3.21空難,#記者 程旋坐着出租車,在墜機附近村口被人攔住,他下車,碰上老鄉騎摩托車路過,便坐上後座,裝作村民,駛過值守關卡的官方人員。但他到了村裏才發現,自己和墜機點之間還有三道關卡,被警察層層把守。他看不到飛機殘骸,也接觸不到封鎖線裏做調查的專家。 同年唐山燒烤店毆打女性事件,記者姜予安來到餐廳,想和老闆娘聊幾句,但對方彷彿看不到她站在跟前,也聽不到她的聲音,兀自機械地、沉默地拉上捲簾門,轉身離開。姜予安跟上去,語氣溫和地表達來意和關心。老闆娘沒有呵斥或驅趕她,也沒有回答,全程木然。

It’s the fault people humblebrag about in job interviews, but psychologists are discovering more and more about the real harm it causes.

As you may have heard, most (not all) of the people who produce Outside magazine (and the website) were laid off on Thursday. The ex-ME has a complete archive of issues going all the way back to the 1970s. If anybody knows of a library that might want to house these, lemme know.
