Happy Friday!

Bee beds are sleeping chambers directly over bee hives. It is called apitherapy.

The warmth from the bees, vibrations and buzzing are said to be both healing & calming.

Beehive air is antiseptic, there is a hospital in Krakow that utilises this therapy.

My job as a professor is not to create a serviceable worker. My job is to help foster thoughtful citizens or community members.

If that sounds fanciful it’s bc corporate interests have spent decades framing how we talk about education so they don’t take the heat for immiserating labor conditions.

Screenshot of article excerpt. Text: How Long They Waited. The amount of time between a disaster declaration and the appropriation of long-term relief dollars varies wildly. Here is a sampling of those time frames: -Hurricane Harvey (2017): 15 days -Hurricane Ida (2021): 32 days -Hurricane Sandy (2012): 93 days -Houston ice storm (2021): 223 days -Hurricane Sally (2020): 375 days -Hurricane Laura (2020): 398 days -California wildfires (2020: 404 days

The process of getting long-term aid after a natural disaster is wildly unpredictable.

Congress takes anywhere from a few weeks to more than a year to approve the money.

Actually distributing the funds to communities can take even longer: propub.li/4lrL9uV

The FDA Let Substandard Factories Ship These Medications to the U.S. ProPublica identified more than 150 products that were exempted from import bans since 2013. Our list provides the names of the drugs or ingredients and their manufacturers, many of which are no…

The FDA never released a comprehensive list of the drugs it allowed into the U.S. even though they were made by banned factories.

This week, we published that list.

This is devastating, and part of a larger move to entirely push science out of NASA's mission. It is horrific betrayal of so much work, not to mention the fact that it violates NASA's charter.

Change the Locks A tale of two sisters; the narcissist's demand for reconciliation without reparation, and the lowest rung on justice's ladder

This week I dug deep into the Paradox of Tolerance.

We might hope still to build a new house to replace the one abusive bullies are burning down, after centuries of decades of being enabled in the name of civility.

If we do, the new house will need new locks.

Everyone is just treating this like a big joke but do you realize someone getting attacked by a sub is what caused the US to join WWI

Make sure your RPG battle transitions, scene composition, and attack animations are at least as cool as this Taiwanese DOS RPG from 1995

"...a lawless dictatorship does not arise simply by snuffing out the ordinary legal system of rules, procedures, and precedents. To the contrary, that system—which he called the 'normative state'—remains in place while dictatorial power spreads across society."

Photo of a page from Omar El Akkad's ONE DAY EVERYONE WILL ALWAYS HAVE BEEN AGAINST THIS that reads: The obvious charge of hypocrisy looms over this work, always. Refrain from engaging with one organization because of its ties to a genocide but not the uncountable number of other organizations who do as well? Call for divestment from fossil fuel companies and yet still use electricity? Agitate for a better world in any way and yet continue to exist within it? The purpose of this kind of accusation is never moral concern. To be accused of speaking too loudly about one injustice but not others by someone who doesn't care about any of them is to be told, simply, to keep quiet.

this is the standard for convictions under terrorism legislation. you'll never pass a DBS check. that's a life bar in jobs in teaching, healthcare, social services, civil service etc. it's an international travel bar. there's also upcoming legislation for bans to social housing and access to finance

No actually. People should see these pictures.
