At a time when the food-stamp system is under fire & more strict work requirements are starting to kick in, a review of companies with the most SNAP recipients in the state shows many are employed by high-profile companies in retail, health care & the gig economy. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/28/m...

If you see someone "shoplifting" from (the hoarders who own) the greedy fucking corporations robbing this country, no you fucking didn't. They could feed people but let them starve to death instead. A corporation isn't a fucking person and deserves no rights or property

Our weekly reminder to all decision-makers: Fossil fuel companies are spending billions to spread fake news and confusion, but they can't change the laws of physics. To avert disastrous climate change, we urgently need to stop burning fossil fuels. Not some, but all! #FridaysForFuture

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game. The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

DYK: Women have earned the majority of doctoral degrees awarded by American universities each year since 2009. First women to earn a PhD in the US? Helen Magill White.

Heavy-industry sectors like cement have long struggled to decarbonise because their processes require very high temperatures. That’s why the new Rondo Energy heat-battery project in Thailand is such a big deal - powering a cement plant with low-carbon steam. www.energy-storage.news/rondo-energy...

Theory: We replaced "experiencing art" with "having opinions about art" and this explains why everyone has takes on movies they haven't seen. You don't need to read the book anymore, you just need to know which side you're on.

It’s really rubbing me the wrong way that tech companies want to call it “hoarding” that some people aren’t buying new devices. Not acquiring more stuff is the opposite of hoarding.

Wild how we have studies to show that hoarding wealth and being ultra rich literally poisons your brain, and we can observe how selfish behavior is treated in other species (literal shit like banishment, murder, coups) but in humans we have to remind others how dangerous it is for us to let happen

I made a new friend today. Isabella tiger moth caterpillar, aka the woolly bear, are a common sight across Nova Scotia. The larva emerges from an egg in the fall and overwinters in its caterpillar form.

Thanksgiving is problematic. Giving thanks is not. As someone who wants to remember the attempted genocide of indigenous people but also likes a reminder to practice gratitude, I like to use Indigenous People's Month to support (and be grateful for) indigenous creators. A partial list! /1

PSA to neurotypicals - asking “why” is not arguing. “Here is how a thing is.” “Why?” Is not an argument. It’s a request for more information. Why is the thing that way? Teach me.

They killed billions of birds.

I‘ll say it… celebrating thanksgiving, even if it’s just y'all eating food, is wrong. You don’t have to say “Happy Thanksgiving”. I get doing the dinner on thurs because that’s when we are all free. but, call it a fall harvest, learn about land back, uplift indigenous people. Don't Support Genocide.
