Israel killed Maria today in South Lebanon.

There is no universe where this is not an evil act - cold blooded murder of innocents

Despite his visible injuries and bandaged eye, this young boy stood for long hours in “Tekiyeh” (charity kitchen) lines in the besieged Gaza Strip, only to end up carrying a simple bowl of broth.

We’re at the point in the genocide where the killings don’t even make headlines anymore. The world has normalised Gaza’s horror.

Universities: “Focus on quality research.” Also universities: “How many papers this month?” 😅

I don’t think people are taking what’s happening in Lebanon seriously enough. 40 people were massacred by lsrael today, including children. 40 people. DURING A CEASEFIRE. Where’s the outrage?

The U.S. Forest Service is spraying glyphosate (Roundup) across tens of thousands of acres of national forests this spring to support commercial timber production. Following wildfires, forests naturally regenerate with diverse shrubs, wildflowers, and wildlife. However, a recent investigation reveals that the Forest Service and private logging companies are routinely applying the herbicide to eliminate competing native vegetation, favoring commercially valuable species such as Douglas fir and sugar pine. This practice has created large areas with significantly reduced biodiversity, often described as "dead zones", where insect, bird, and plant populations have sharply declined. Glyphosate, classified by the World Health Organization as a probable human carcinogen, has seen its use in California national forests quintuple over the past two decades, reaching a record 266,000 pounds in 2023. Local communities, environmental groups, and residents are raising concerns about potential impacts on water quality, endangered species (including salmon and rare foxes), and public health. Critics argue that prioritizing industrial timber production over ecological diversity conflicts with the broader mission of national forests as public lands. The issue has intensified debates over forest management, balancing economic interests with long-term environmental and community health.

Medicine being called a “noble profession” has been used for years to guilt doctors into accepting burnout, underpayment, and terrible working conditions.

To be clear, I don’t just hate GenAI. I also hate golf, war, monoculture farming, clear-cutting forests, and building on floodplains. I love biodiversity, wildlife conservation, regenerative forestry, soil restoration, sustainable farming, and economic degrowth.

The tree in the picture is a giant sequoia tree that was there before Jesus was born, it was older than the Roman Empire. Before the criminal settler orcs from Europe arrived the old growth had trees that were 300 feet tall and 35 feet wide. Most of them were 2000-3000 years old. After california gold rush the greedy logging companies started to cut down these trees. Each tree would cause a little earthquake when it fell. About 95% of these majestic trees were lost. The funny part? The sequoia tree wood was quite brittle and a huge portion of it was wasted by loggers. Most of it shattered on impact or were burned by loggers. The crimes of European settlers their destruction of nature is not talked about enough

I wanted to run the London Marathon but training takes too long and is too hard as a pudgy 47yo woman, so I got an Uber to the finish line. It's not fair that athletic people get to gatekeep long-distance running. I'm still a Marathon runner! This is what AI 'writers' sound like

I need a good book that serves as an introduction to pure mathematics for someone who comes completely from the humanities, has little grasp of math, and is terrible at thinking mathematically

Maybe this is controversial of me but if you see the scenes so clearly in your head but can’t get them into cohesive words that sound good, maybe you’re just not a writer lol

We should honoured such loyal animals. Their service helped save lives in Gaza
