Planet is a big place… have legs, will walk away.

This military court has a 96% conviction rate - one of the most unfair in the world

Progressive voters are sick and tired of "centrist" compromises, "pragmatic" selling out of values, and "lesser evil" pushing everything to the right election after election. I think we're going to see BIG movement for change across the country.

Only the weak use corporal & capital punishment The strongest people & animals I know are the ones who suffered unspeakable abuse & still maintained their capacity to love & many love fiercely with the courage to break the cycle of abuse That’s the true sign of strength ❤️‍🩹 May we all strive for it

Australia just completed a 4,000-kilometer renewable energy transmission line — the longest clean energy highway ever built — connecting massive outback solar and wind farms directly to coastal cities that need power most.

I don’t care how weak you think I am. That’s my strength.

Israel just passed a law mandating death by hanging for Palestinians in rigged military trials voting 62-48 in the Knesset. Netanyahu turned up in person to vote yes. Ben-Gvir wore a metal noose pin on his lapel while the chamber erupted in cheers at the prospect of killing more Palestinians.

Particularly interesting as it's coming from a #cancer newsletter, not one focused on COVID impacts, indicating that the evidence of COVID harms is becoming obvious across fields. Also NB it focuses on the immune aspects, which would synergize with expected p53 signal alterations. #medsky #scisky

I keep seeing this headline about what certain governments are “secretly planning”… I’m not being funny but if it’s all over social media a week before it’s happened, is it really a secret?

Yes, people are changing holiday plans. Walking home tonight there were certainly fewer cars about. And this isn't an attempt by Albo to bring in 15 minute cities by stealth (yes, a talking point I have seen). It is people reacting to circumstances.

My bad. /s www.confectionerynews.com/Article/2026...

We have moved a long way from thinking about the ‘precautionary principle’ to now just ignoring a mountain of studies and hundreds of millions of long covid sufferers. It’s a very self destructive pattern of behaviour. Millions of children are impacted. I don’t know what it will take to U-turn?

We have often remarked that the mismanagement of COVID-19 messaging and the disinformation networks have left us in a weaker position to tackle novel disease outbreaks in the future… what I hadn’t anticipated was how this would be leveraged against countries in a war effort.

University of Oxford : maximising oil and gas extraction here would only save UK households up to £82 (€95) per year. A UK fully powered by renewable energy, would save households up to £441 (€510) a year on energy bills. www.euronews.com/2026/03/27/e...

I've been priced out of following any kind of sports casually. It is now a lifestyle choice to be into a team. Watching requires four different subscription services and checking for blackouts. Used to be a given that games would be on a local station. Another thing lost to digital feudalism.

talkin about my job with a group of younger teens at work today, i said somethin to the effect of “i actually haven’t had covid yet, & it’s important to me to work somewhere where getting it is less likely” & their reactions just… in so many words told me that they hadn’t considered that an option.

More good news from Germany. Scientists have discovered that they were wrong about how long it takes for solar panels to degrade, and that they can last twice as long as previously expected.

When I hear people say, “I don’t want to live in fear,” what I hear is: “I prefer to live in denial”

The fourth emergency service: How teachers became the last line of defence open.substack.com/pub/theleadu...

Welp. Just had a @guinesspig.bsky.social worthy mask encounter. My wife and I entered a shop. One person behind the counter. Looked at us with wide eyes: "Are you ok? Is there anything wrong?" We assured her we're fine. But she persisted: "Is there anything I should know??" Thought she meant us but

🤣🤣🤣 what the????

Hmmm… I’m thinking… if I can put a trailer on my EV… maybe I can get these construction supplies… Off to investigate.

All 6 New England states are considering legalizing balcony solar — a plug-in clean energy solution that’s as easy to assemble as an Ikea bookcase.

But remote learning to prevent people from spreading a novel virus is unthinkable.

Apparently they are trying to replace teachers with AI robots… Hands up who wants to leave their child all day with a robot that is running on the contents of the internet?

USA: "Concerning COVID Variant Shows Up in 29 States" BA.3.2 made up 0.55% of 5,238 U.S. samples from Dec 2025 to mid-March and was detected in wastewater across 29 states and Puerto Rico. As of March 14, XFG and its subvariants still accounted for about two-thirds of circulating variants.

Instead of relying on traditional streetlights that remain fully lit all night, many Scandinavian cities have adopted motion-activated lighting systems that automatically brighten as pedestrians, cyclists, or vehicles approach #energyefficiency #ActOnClimate

After our hampster had his leg splinted with a paperclip, we gave him physical therapy once the splint was removed. We put him on our bed and encouraged him to run around. At first, he ran on 3 legs. Then he forgot which leg to favor, and finally started using all 4 again. ❤️ our Vet!

They absolutely deserve healthcare. My problem is there are no small animal Vets within 50 miles of us.

talked abt this in class today! there were So many reasons but most boiled down to economic (another small is affordable for certain species, specialists are expensive)... it saddens my heart sm. my snake was my pride and joy man

I’ve been wearing my watch to sleep recently… to monitor my sleep and to try to improve it. I’ve managed to ulcerate a tiny patch of skin on my wrist! I wasn’t wearing the watch tight… but I did get it wet washing my hands. I guess I’m sharing this to warn others. Wrists need to sleep too.

I’m going to stop saying respies are normal protection, like raincoats and umbrellas. The number of people I saw in Sydney today without either, and it was cool, wet weather.

Among the many disappointments the pandemic brought was the realization that many musicians aren't particularly concerned for the well being of themselves and their fans. What would be more anti-establishment than standing up for the rights and well-being of the disabled?

HISTORIC HEAT WAVE IN AUSTRALIA Insane Minimum 32.2C at Port Hedland yesterday. It's the hottest night ever recorded in the whole Southern Hemisphere this time of the year. April will start smashing thousands of records in Australia,South America and South Africa. Mind blowing.

This is not a new thought, but it is really fucked that the place I’m most scared of getting sick is in the hospital because nobody wears a goddamned mask

We closed the fossil fuel sources too early???? 😂😂😂😂🤣💀

Bluesky is generally better than a lot of places… but I have noticed a lot of death threats lately. Imaginative ones I might add… Am I alone in feeling disturbed by this? Even though most of these threats are aimed at people causing the deaths of thousands… millions of people?

We had a pet rat with a possibly malignant mass under her armpit. We took her to the vet to have it removed. Sure, it costed a chunk of cash, but we got another couple years of joy and love from her. 🥰 She deserved to live free from suffering as much as a dog or cat does.

Tricia Dearborn: "Jesus fucking Christ on a cracker. On 22 March 2026, in Wales, at least 76% of patients in hospital with Covid CAUGHT COVID AT THE HOSPITAL. Healthcare providers everywhere: have healthcare workers wear N95s! Clean the air! Stop giving patients diseases they did not come in with"

I read this. I then googled “feline infectious peritonitis and CD14 monocytes”. I’m not a vet, and humans aren’t cats, so I’m saying nothing else… except that there is a reason I have been watching this for a while.

Small pets deserve healthcare too. A friend has a sick small pet, and everyone is giving them a hard time about the fact that they bothered to take them to the vet. I’m sorry, but I don’t think they should just be put down!

I’ve heard these questions a hundred times at least… but I don’t get tired of explaining if people really want to know. In fact, this brings me great joy. Sharing knowledge is a privilege. It is so rewarding to see people learn new things and get benefits from it.

What people REALLY do not know is that SARS-CoV-2 is STILL A THING, and is much more damaging than they believe.
