Tomorrow! Give me 60 minutes of your time and I'll teach you different ways you can de-escalate and build community care. It's open to anyone, anywhere aged 12+ and it's not recorded, so don't miss out! zoom.us/webinar/regi...

1. 1100 words is only very long if you’re an amoeba. 2. Asking an LLM a question is not a skill. 3. One dead teen is actually too many unless you are a sociopath. 4. You’re welcome.

Just as summer suddenly arrived where I live in Canada, summer has come for Gaza. But for them, it's not a celebration. It is incredibly hot inside the Farwanas' tent. They want to fix their fan to provide some relief, please help if you can! chuffed.org/project/help...

It terrifies and enrages me that people like those in the screenshot have tenured positions while so many hardworking and skilled researchers can't even get an interview.

I fear all we don’t know. A tragedy. Gaza had a robust public health and health sector, prior, working diligently, despite the severe limitations. So much has been undone. As Israel's genocide devastates Gaza, more babies are being born with severe defects www.newarab.com/features/isr...

Proposals due Monday at 5 pm EDT!

Senate committee overseeing still has power to intervene & launch an emergency hearing. Oil and gas lobbyists are framing as “energy security”, but it’s about profit & a dangerous precedent. Sign the petition to force leaders to stop this extinction decision. action.eko.org/a/stop-trump...

In a week of deeply depressing news at home and abroad, take five minutes to be inspired by Tala and Farah’s grit and tenacity. Tell your kids what they achieved, from a tent in a bombed-out city. Gaza sisters win prize for turning rubble into reusable bricks www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

With other urgent costs and few donations, the Farwanas haven't eaten in days. Reminder: where they are in Gaza, it costs $100 just to buy the most basic staples for a single meal for their family! Please please donate if you can, help them feed their children. chuffed.org/project/help...

"There's all this stuff that's working, and it's impossible to pay attention to, because we're not scared of things that work," is a killer line that says so much about why Americans voted to break everything.

Noreen and Khalil are sacrificing so much to help their children. They desperately need medical care (both suffered recent fractures) but all their money has been going to feed their kids. Their estimated immediate costs are $400 for meds and food. Can anyone chip in $5? chuffed.org/project/help...

"Employers respond not by improving jobs, but by recruiting more vulnerable workers (or pressuring governments to grant them access to do so)." www.readthemaple.com/temporary-fo...

Might have to post this annually until we do something.

I feel like this should be hitting more radars.

Second-Hand Slopping. AI is like smoking. Even if you don't use it, you still have to deal with it every day.

Donations have really slowed for the Farwana family. Both Khalil and Noreen are recovering from injury and illness and still need to feed their kids. Can anyone spare $5 or $10 to get them through this time? chuffed.org/project/help...

Tapping the sign for Canadians who think Carney did us a favour.

This result took 40 years to emerge. Not 3. Not 5. Not a funding cycle. Four decades. We’re trying to understand planetary systems with attention spans measured in quarters and election cycles.

I admire the hell out of these Texas Tech students, who held a funeral for academic freedom: pen.org/texas-tech-a...

1 kg of potatoes: $40 1 kg of tomatoes: $40 A tray of eggs: $60 1 kg of meat: $90 A single chicken (1.3 kg): over $150 A bag of flour: over $180 Sound ridiculous? That's because it is. These are food prices in Gaza. Help the Farwanas feed their children. chuffed.org/project/help...

Imagine missing your babies' first words because you were too poor to pay a $100 bail. That will be some Black mamas and caregivers this Mother’s Day. #FreeBlackMamas today by giving to break open a cage: bit.ly/freeblackmamas2026

We know that one of the best ways to fight despair is to DO something. Consider donating to a mutual aid fund - it's easy and makes a huge difference. Noreen and Khalil need help with medical costs and affording food for their children - things are dire in Gaza. chuffed.org/project/khal...

There's a lot to know about this proposed "war bank", but what also struck me from this article was how so many activists have had to change their strategies, because lobbying politicians isn't working anymore. www.readthemaple.com/national-coa...

"If deployed across hundreds of millions or billions of devices, the total emissions impact of simply distributing the file (not even using it) could reach tens of thousands of tons of CO2 equivalent, an amount similar to the annual output of tens of thousands of cars."

Noreen and Khalil really need help to stay afloat right now. Neither of them can work as they recover from injuries. Feeding their family costs ~$100/day, and ongoing medical costs are at least $200/week. If you see this post, consider helping with $5, or please share! chuffed.org/project/khal...

I've just donated to @nationalbailout.bsky.social, which is something I try and do every year in honour of Mother's Day. They post bail for black mothers and do a ton of advocacy and education work, if you're looking for a great group to support. ♥️

"Between manufactured malnutrition, traumatic injuries, and the burden of chronic and infectious diseases, it is not surprising that Gaza has one of the lowest life expectancies in the world."

What the hell www.newyorker.com/culture/prog...

It's a beautiful, beautiful day to help a Palestinian family get something to eat. The conflicts are ongoing, and food prices are sky-high. The Farwanas need help in getting enough to buy even a bag of flour. chuffed.org/project/khal...

Just started following @devezer.bsky.social and am just delighted. First post to cross my feed is deliciously meta.

The Farwanas really need regular help right now. As many of us know, the poorer you are, the less able you are to weather further crises. They are both injured, and now ill. Their eldest son (a CHILD) is doing what he can, but he can't make money. Please help! chuffed.org/project/khal...

My father-in-law no doubt just felt a (good) disturbance in the force.

Oh my god. This is devastating. My heart goes out to all who knew Dr. Daniel.

“Israeli authorities know that without water life ends, yet they have deliberately and systematically obliterated water infrastructure in Gaza…” Our latest report documents how the Israeli authorities have used access to water as a weapon in Gaza:

I want to follow some folks in this space. Who out there is studying/innovating on how to reduce emissions and waste in healthcare?

"Look for the helpers" ♥️ and be one too!!

I worry very much that instead of seeing privatization of so much of Britain's public assets (water, rail, energy, mail, etc.) as a cautionary tale, the former Bank-of-England-governor-now-Canadian-PM might see it as a model. (The British are being robbed and left with poorer public services.)

Noreen and Khalil work so, so hard to take care of their children. Can anyone spare $5 to make it a little easier for them today?

Khalil's children have only had bread for 3 days. They need money for vegetables and protein. Please give what you can.

This is so cool! Congrats to all involved!

Khalil has finally gotten some good news: they have been on a list to have a chance to buy gas (for TWO YEARS), and it's finally their turn!!! They estimate that they need $80 to fill their can, can anyone chip in?? chuffed.org/project/khal...

It's been a rough, rough time for the Farwana family. Over the past month: - their camp's water pump broke - Khalil was hit by a car - Noreen broke her hand while fetching water Their daily needs haven't changed, they need meds and food for their kids (very $$$$). chuffed.org/project/khal...

To be clear, Muhammad is their eldest son. He is a child. Please please help this family if you can, they've been through so much.

BREAKING: Ford Government officially votes to restrict Ontarians' █████████ and access to ███████, assures them it's for █████████ reasons, so shut the fuck up about it
