Diversity in Horror (they/them) @diversityhorror.bsky.social · 2d

As someone who works with patients who have substance use disorder (SUD) if the government ACTUALLY cared about drugs they would provide free, easily accessible healthcare, destigmatize mental healthcare, improve social supports, and create free, quality detox programs and sober living homes.

Fentanyl and coke are the new “weapons of mass destruction” lie. It’s Iraq all over again, folks. It’s always about controlling the oil.

A tweet from Morgan J. Freeman states:
“FACT: Venezuela is NOT a major producer of cocaine.
They do not have large cocaine factories.
They do not produce fentanyl either.
What Venezuela does have is the world’s largest oil reserves.”

Thursday: Target to lay off 1800 corporate jobs
Monday: Amazon to lay off 30,000 corporate jobs
Tuesday: UPS to lay off 48,000 operations and management jobs

You'd think with all these layoffs, CEOs and CFOs and COOs would also be fired. Alas.

centrists will tell you to your face that we all need to abandon identity issues, and focus on kitchen table issues instead and yet when a leftist candidate runs a generational campaign based on kitchen table issues, it's the centrists weaponizing identity politics to smear the leftist.

“If we are going to be destroyed by an atomic bomb, let that bomb when it comes find us doing sensible and human things. . . not huddled together like frightened sheep and thinking about bombs. They might break our bodies (a microbe can do that) but they need not dominate our minds.”

In the present day, it’s easy to take maps for granted. But to make a #map useful, you have to decide what to keep in and what to leave out—which #mathematical equations to use. Mathematician Paulina Rowińska takes us on a journey through the math at the heart of all kinds of maps. buff.ly/pl6aJ1h

How Math Helps Us Map The World

In "Mapmatics," a mathematician tells the stories of how math helps us track epidemics, map the seafloor, and plot a complex delivery route.
