One of the most heartbreaking pieces I've read this year, and makes me appreciate what I have vs what could have been.

As more psychiatric hospitals are bought up by private equity, the number of patients illegally turned away has increased with little consequence. The lack of consequences for EMTALA violations may be emboldening hospitals to turn away patients that could hurt their bottom line.

It has been 5 years since I started with the Coalition for Justice and Human Rights. During that time, I have helped 4,723 clients. My work involves all hours of the day and night, and often with extremely vulnerable people. Thank you all for your support! See my pinned post to donate.

This is an absolutely terrific piece from @texastribune.org and reinforces my belief that the best coverage of right-wing cancelations occur at the local level, after years of the national media focusing on threats from the left. www.texastribune.org/2025/09/19/t...

Keep 'em coming! these clubs keep signing up! I feel like I'm in one of those movies that takes place in a submarine where the alarms are all going off, and steam is blowing out the pipes, and everyone's running around in wet shoes trying to stop the sub from sinking.

@readtheorchard.org sounds like a certain Premier who prefers to practice medicine by feelings rather than facts.

"I had not touched a cat in 15 years when an orange kitten wandered over to sit with me in the grass one day. I was left without adequate words to describe that experience. It reminded me I am alive. It instilled in me a raw, unbridled happiness that I had never felt before, not even as a child."

This is amazing—this is my favorite magazine I don’t work for and I don’t read a lick of Japanese. (If you’re in Philly, Omoi Zakka in Old City stocks it.)

It's getting hot in Tsavo and when the sun's at its peak, everyone is happy to find a little shade. Rescued orphan black rhino Chamboi found just the right spot, where he was soon joined by Keeper Jackson, and then Bombi the zebra decided she didn't want to be left out. Sharing is caring after all!

This Day in Labor History: September 21, 1908. The Industrial Workers of the World met for its 4th annual convention in Chicago. This convention would reshape the struggling nascent organization, moving it clearly from an intellectuals’ movement to a workers’ movement. Let's talk about it!

Israel has officially begun annexing the West Bank by forcing residents of several Area C towns to obtain special Israeli permits to pass through the checkpoints at their entrances. It starts in villages northwest of Jerusalem: Beit Iksa, Nabi Samu’il, and Khallayleh. www.wafa.ps/Pages/Detail...

Discworld QOTD, from A Hat Full of Sky “You couldn’t say: It’s not my fault. You couldn’t say: It’s not my responsibility. You could say: I will deal with this. You didn’t have to want to. But you had to do it.”

The myth of Lemming suicide has its origins in #Alberta & Disney to thank for it! The '58 film "White Wilderness" has a scene of lemmings running off a cliff into the sea. This was actually shot in #Alberta where, no sea, no arctic, no lemmings. But that's not all. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMZl...

The rut is on! Give even more space than you normally would to any elk, moose, bison, deer, caribou, etc that share your neighbourhoods or the places you visit. Bulls are extremely tetchy, and can injure you very badly.
