Dok 1: Viel Leid, wenig Hilfe - Die Krankheit ME/CFS Eingesperrt in einem unsichtbaren Käfig – so fühlt sich das Leben für viele ME/CFS-Betroffene an. Die Krankheit mit dem sperrigen Namen Myalgische Enzephalomyelitis/Chronisches Fatigue-Syndrom macht e...

Heute ist #SevereMEDay day.

Vergangenes Jahr haben uns für diese Dok auch Angehörige von schwerst an #MECFS Erkrankten erzählt, wie es ihnen und ihren Liebsten geht, wie mit ihnen umgegangen wird und was sie dringend brauchen. Es ist nicht einfach ihnen zuzuhören, aber ihr solltet.

So erklärt Frauke Brosius-Gersdorf ihren Kandidatur-Verzicht SPD-Kandidatin Frauke Brosius-Gersdorf hat ihre Kandidatur als Richterin des Bundesverfassungsgerichts zurückgezogen. Ihre Erklärung dokumentiert LTO im Wortlaut.

Es lohnt sich sehr, diesen Text zu lesen und sich für die Union in Grund und Boden zu schämen, weil sie es selbst ja nicht macht:

Huge thanks to everyone who is involved in organising POLLEN26! Very much appreciated 👏

Sudanese journalist Yousra El Bagir has managed to get some footage out of Al Fashir in Darfur, Sudan. The RSF siege of the city has cut it off from food supply and medical assistance for months. One reason you hear very little about Sudan is that the RSF kills anyone who tries to document the war.

[quoting a tweet by fractalcounty that reads, “today I learned that there are actual people irl who get genuinely upset if they catch you using chatgpt. like they view it as a serious moral failing in certain circles”]

If you're using AI to write essays, eulogies, a text to your wife, I do think less of you as a person. Ceding your mental and creative abilities to a machine is an embarrassing thing and people should be ashamed to admit doing it in public.

Billions needed for failing flood defences on Lincolnshire coast A breach could leave Lincolnshire communities under several feet of water, officials have warned.

Climate fatalism is just as wrong as climate denial — it's never 'too late' for change Veteran environmentalist David Suzuki believes the time has passed us to stop climate change. He's wrong.

HEY here's a new piece for @crikey.com.au!

Sparked by David Suzuki's recent comments, but more broadly in response to the recent rise of performative fatalism: the reassuring, widely popular and lazy idea that fighting back against fossil fuels is worthless

"If we are to uphold the sanctity of research, we must do so consistently with the same grief, outrage and call for peace whether the laboratories are in Rehovot, Tehran, Gaza or Beirut."

The Myth of a Wilderness Without Humans For over a century, conflicting views of wild nature created a rift between indigenous people and misguided conservationists.

"They all knew better, the portrayers of wilderness; [Ansel] Adams assiduously avoided photographing any of the local Miwok who were rarely out of his sight as he worked Yosemite Valley. He filled thousands of human-free negatives with land he knew the Miwok had tended for at least 4,000 years."

Mass starvation stalks Gaza as deaths from hunger rise Aid agencies warned for months that Israel’s harsh limits on food aid would bring acute malnutrition and widespread suffering to Gaza’s 2.1 million people.
