How microplastics may be reshaping our bodies and minds.

“The particles are in our blood, brains and guts – and scientists are only beginning to learn what they do.”

Microplastics like those from car tires. The bigger and heavier the vehicle, the more microplastics shed.

Hello, I'm Majd. I'm writing to you today after the war ended, from the rubble of our home in Gaza. They took everything: our home, our work, and our dreams. We now live in a tent, trying to live with dignity. Your support through GFM is our only hope to start over. 💔

The holiday began with a sunrise ceremony on Alcatraz, after which the American Indian Movement disrupted a planned reenactment of Columbus's landing. Later, hundreds gathered on Sproul Plaza where Indigenous rap group With0ut Rezervation performed

settlers cannot be effective "leftists" until they are actually engaging with unlearning the settler ideology the settler bourgeoisie has forced into their minds and they have so benefited that they have chosen not to question it for fear of losing the privileges it brings

This history is why I get wary when settlers on the left dismiss Indigenous sovereignty and the prospect of Land Back (which admittedly is very poorly defined) as ethnonationalism because it is based in settler logics around ultimate control of land.

Tbf it's not really that slippery. it's only hard to define cuz so many refuse to define it so they don't upset the white folks. It's not a nebulous thing and we have plenty of real world examples. people tip toe around Indigenous control of the land so hard it's become an abstract metaphor

Blood and soil comes from German ideologies in the 19th century that pushed for a return to rural areas and an embrace of agrarianism, something the Nazis took up as part of the ‘philosophy’ of Lebensraum, an extremely settler colonial ideology if there ever was one.
