I spent the afternoon in the woods, in a haze of peace and loveliness. Then came home and heard on the news an Irish doctor working in Gaza describe the clearly systematic, mass targeting of Palestinian children by Israeli snipers. It's just crazy making. How can such pure evil exist in the world?

Wearing a mask is an act of resistance. It helps protect your health and the health of those around you. It tells the government you don’t believe anyone is expendable. It says you value community care. It shows solidarity with the disability community. Covid is not over.

Happy Stanislav Petrov Day - a reminder that one person saying "No" can make an unimaginable difference.

We let people know what #Fascism is on the #SanAntonio #Riverwalk this evening. We did a silent, serious procession of the signs of fascism. #NoKings #NoKingsSanAntonio @50501satx.bsky.social @visibilitybrigade.bsky.social @50501movement.bsky.social @indivisible.org

Costco has novovax starting next week

Growing food crops under solar panels is called Agrivoltaics. Lots of crops benefit from growing underneath them. I know in Maine they were piloting wild blueberries, and in Massachusetts cranberries. You can also graze animals like sheep or if you mount them high cows (not goats - they climb)

@pettter.bsky.social @vivianharris45.bsky.social We are a family from Gaza. My brother and I are injured. We need $2,000 to transport us south and secure a tent. Every bit of support makes a difference. Help us in these difficult times.

This NDIS registered provider (the govt says that registration will ‘keep us safe’) wants to be famous. Well, let’s meet Monique, who underpays and exploits disabled people through her NDIS registered modelling agency, Diversity Models. 9now.nine.com.au/a-current-af... Make her famous.

By now you have probably seen it reported that the world’s oceans have failed a “key health check,” so the next time you are asked how you are feeling reply by saying: like the ocean.

Here's me. "The Yanks are cooked (and cooking the rest of us)"

I called my Mom to see how she is doing. She broke her arm but was out again this morning with the Grandmothers Against Genocide vigil. She said, "Do you know someone named Timothy Snyder?" Wow Mom. He is the expert on fascism. She said he took a picture of her sign. My Mom rocks.

Aseel and I sent each other videos. Her of her cat Lisa, me of my cat Roux. We talked about how similar they look, how similar they act. All morning I have been holding Roux close and crying for Aseel and Lisa. It feels so wrong. So wrong. To be able to hold my baby close and know Aseel can't.

Help Ramadan if you can ❤️

Eslam is here ❤️❤️

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Sabreen. Sabreen worked in advertising before the war and her husband Iyad was a designer. They lost their jobs and their home. They have three children Zaher, 9, Amal, 7 and Mustafa, 3. Mustafa has a seizure disorder this is getting worse.

EXCEPTIONAL HEAT IN THE CARIBBEAN Relentless heat with stifling hot nights and Minimums >29C in Mexico,Bo.naire,Cayman Islands,Grenada etc In Particular the Minimum of 29.8C at Owen Int. AP is GRAN CAYMAN HOTTEST NIGHT IN HISTORY All tropics are smashing record after record

“He used to be a straight-A student… He had Covid five times in 2022 alone before they stopped testing, and he has been struggling with new-onset asthma, exhaustion, memory loss and anxiety ever since. Once a star hurler, he now collapses after one lap of the pitch.”

I confess there are many days when I see people mocking the pandemic and these comments make me mutter “you’re killing me.” And I confess there are many days when I see people mocking the pandemic and these comments make me mutter “you’re killing yourselves.”

My column on the contentment with mediocrity www.theguardian.com/business/gro...

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

The Sumud Flotilla is under attack. Thiago Ávila, a Brazilian organiser, reports 10 drone attacks on the smaller boats, seemingly to destroy their sails. Citizens from the entire world are aboard. It is carrying food for the victims of genocide. Governments need to protect it.

If you can't side with the world's most extraordinary people against the western world's most bloodthirsty genocidal colony, you could not be more lost.

Incredible moving speech by 20 year old Violet Affleck at the UN today. Violet listed the harms of infection, pleaded for people to do more to protect children from COVID infections and advocated for masks and for clean filtered indoor air for everyone.

This whole speech rules, but I especially love her point that we should approach clean, filtered air like we do clean, filtered water. Never thought of it that way, but I agree! We're never gonna get people to mask en masse again (boo), but at least we can establish stricter air filtration standards

The Australians on the flotilla we are in contact with are calling on all of us to contact the authorities to ask for help Ordinary people bringing food to starving people should not be getting attacked by the IDF! You can email [email protected] and contact Foreign Minister Penny Wong

Deeply concerned about reports of drones above the Sumud flotilla and their radios being jammed following escalating threats from Israel. Australia needs to call for the safety of the flotilla and all those on board.

Not the rapture. Just human trafficking by a degenerate, vicious government.

Ahmed’s account was deleted but hes trying to build a better tent and needs help gofund.me/e975e2820

💔😭 My beloved friends, thanks to you we reached $600 of the $1,700 we desperately need for a tent, urgent expenses , and care for Majd & little Mona. Our tent was stolen—we now sit on rubble, trying to build again. Please, I beg you with a mother’s tears, help us reach the rest.😓 gofund.me/2f942387

There’s a historic indoor clean air high level event at the UN today. @drbronking.bsky.social is of course leading by example wearing a high quality mask while chairing the meeting 👏👏👏

Don't Scroll 🥺 Donations are so slow in the most difficult time 💔 We are trying to survive, find shelter and buy some food . Please help us as possible as you can🥺 @mommunism.bsky.social Show your humanity and kindness 🙏🤍👇 gofund.me/2fcf519b

Few scandals better illustrate the cost of government secrecy than robodebt. But the newly proposed FOI bill will make it harder for the public to scrutinise the government and easier for secrecy to prevail www.canberratimes.com.au/story/907156...

“Distinguished epidemiologist Professor Fiona Stanley said she was “deeply sad” and “ashamed” after the Fremantle hospital that bears her name abruptly cancelled a 2024 event featuring Palestinian Australian doctors speaking about their experiences in Gaza—” www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

A month ago, the famine in Gaza, deliberately created by the Israeli government, was officially confirmed by UN agencies. Since then, there has been an eerie silence in the media here, with far fewer reports than there were before. But it hasn't ended. On the contrary, it has intensified.

Please save Pr MacDonald. He is being targeted by Zionists for speaking up for civilians being exterminated by Israel.

Help if you can ❤️

"Since the start of Israel’s genocidal campaign in Gaza, doctors and medical students across Canada have been suspended, disciplined, doxxed and surveilled for signing petitions and posting pro-Palestine content on social media." Excellent work from @brishti.bsky.social as always.

Update of perhaps my favorite global climate policy indicator: The production gap report. In fact, the gap between countries' planned fossil fuel extraction and global climate targets has widened. Turning the tide on these indicators is essential for climate policy success. productiongap.org

RECORD HEAT IN WESTERN AFRICA After the record heat in the Canary Islands,Morocco,Sahara and Mauritania, SENEGAL was also affected: The northern coastal town of Saint Louis later this week recorded a Minimum of 29.2C: its hottest night in history (data since 1880s)

‼️EXTRAORDINARY DAY We are witnessing something unbelievable: Dozens of thousands of records are being smashed with the hugest margins ever seen allover Oceania,Asia,Europe,North,Central,Southern Africa,Central and South America. >150 countries are breaking records. Wait for multiple updates coming..

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.
