"Warming is going to exceed 1.5°C. We are heading into overshoot within the next few years": a stark message by PIK Director Rockström & James Dyke in @theconversation.com. Yet, science shows a way back: fossil-fuel phase-out, nature protection, carbon removal.

Wear a mask, ideally a respirator like an N95.

RFK Jr has gutted the CDC.

There is no plan to prevent the next pandemic or protect people when it inevitably hits.

Wearing a mask is an act of resistance and community care.

PayPal has rolled out a new "feature" that prompts you to leave feedback about an artist that you've commissioned via invoice.

Whatever you do, DO NOT fill this out! To quote Admiral Ackbar, "IT'S A TRAP!!!" It is meant to misguide you.

I would like to remind people that they did this two and a half years ago under a Democratic president.

In (somewhat) good news, while 109 Dems voted in agreement in 2023, only 86 voted in agreement this year.

(thank you Kelly for pointing out their awful behavior)

every author in the class action, please file the claim.
AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.
Authors celebrate “historic” settlement coming soon in Anthropic class action
Advocates fear such settlements will “financially ruin” the AI industry.

“She explained how much Covid could hurt her & how vulnerable it felt to be unable to wear a mask to protect herself.

She was a perfect example of why other people need to wear masks even if they don’t personally think Covid will hurt them”

If you want to honour Alice Wong’s memory, please mask up
Thank You Alice Wong
Alice Wong has passed away and the disability community has lost a leader. I lost a mentor and a friend. The Disabled Ginger wouldn't exist without Alice and everything she taught me.

I appear to have developed a cool new symptom of a twitch in a tiny muscle or something in my solar plexus?? It's directly below my xiphoid process and seems to be irritated when I am reclining or lying down which is unfortunately a lot of the time.

Human bodies, am I right, kids?

Does anyone know of any small business grants that will provide approximately £90-100 for once a year or single expenses for artists?

Or if anyone is interested in covering the cost and would like some creative advising, I will happily meet with you!

We’ve moved the dates back a week for this so if you were thinking about it, please join us!! You don’t have to consider yourself an artist or an activist, this is geared towards the natural creativity of humanity and how it supports positive community change ❤️

Support! The! Strike!!

(says someone who hasn't had Starbucks in over 2 years)

tbh, it would be awesome if Starbucks closed everywhere and were just replaced with local coffee shops. Local business support local economy.
BREAKING: Starbucks workers have just authorized a massive strike.

Union Starbucks baristas voted to authorize the strike by 92%.

Now baristas in over 25 cities could launch an unfair labor practice strike on Thursday, November 13th.

The first fireworks were at 3pm today and have been going non stop. i'm not happy, my dog isn't happy, the fireworks sure aren't doing the environment any favors.

Genuinely a horrible way to "celebrate".
