Saving lives on the frontline in Palestine - help Maha My name is Louisa and I'm raising money for my dear friend Maha and her family in Gaza. 

EIGHT DAYS LEFT—and we’re still matching you! Give and be doubled to help single mom Maha & her two kids from getting evicted.

The cold is deadly. Shelter is literal survival. Can you click “monthly” on a coffee so they don’t have to worry again?

Saving lives on the frontline in Palestine - help Maha My name is Louisa and I'm raising money for my dear friend Maha and her family in Gaza.

A single mother with three kids, displaced for more than 1.5 years. No trace of her house after occupation's bombardements. Keeping the family sheltered means surviving and dignity.

The rent deadline is January 29th. We can make sure that they have a shelter.

I'm sorry. As a technology writer, I'm supposed to be telling you that this bet will some day pay off, because one day we will have shoveled so many words into the word-guessing program that it wakes up and learns how to actually do the jobs it is failing spectacularly at today. This is a proposition akin to the idea that if we keep breeding horses to run faster and faster, one of them will give birth to a locomotive. Humans possess intelligence, and machines do not. The difference between a human and a word-guessing program isn't how many words the human knows. I'm sorry. I know that when we talk about "digital sovereignty," we're obliged to talk about how we can build more data-centres that we can fill up with money-losing chips from American silicon monopolists in the hopes of destroying as many jobs as possible while blowing through our clean energy goals and enshittifying as much of our potable water as possible.

Every week, YOU help six families & a displacement camp with healthcare for escalating emergencies, winter & newborn supplies as the deadly cold continues & more rain sweep through Gaza, and food & other essentials under blockade.

Please keep it going:

LAST NIGHT: Israeli settlers set fire to homes and vehicles and injured Palestinian residents in a Bedouin community near Mukhmas, northeast of Jerusalem, in yet another escalation aimed at ethnically cleansing Palestinians from their land.

ICE is a disability justice issue.

ICE enforcement is a mass disabling event.

Their actions, kill maim and disable.

Kaden Rummler is permanently blind in one eye because ICE shot him with “less lethal ammo”.

He has multiple skull fractures.

He is now disabled.

This is wrong.

Thread. [the shorthand about her that is often uplifted on social media always does her a disservice and also does Rosa Parks one too. Glad for this thread]

For what it's worth I think all of the following can all be true at the same time:
-Detection of microplastics via analytical techniques can be really challenging due to detection limits
-Some scientific papers out there are poor and lack rigour
-Microplastics are bad for human health

Mankind's folly, a documentary by Yorgos Avgeropoulos covering the impact of human-induced climate change on the Arctic and the lives of people living there.

I’ve pre-ordered but everyone should check out THE DISORDERED COSMOS too.

Danish social workers often tried to convince/trick Kalaallit Inuit (Greenlandic) women into getting abortions as recently as last year. They truly don't want a new generation of Inuit in Denmark. Many move from Greenland to Denmark for work and other things.

Also, if y'all could please understand that criticism is a tool to help you do better tomorrow than you did today and not just somebody trying to shit on you for doing something wrong, well, that would be just grand.

The casual appropriation and indifference to Black suffering are vile. It's morally vacuous to demand people "say her name" when they are, in fact, saying her name. How quickly did we learn her name? How long will we remember it? And yet how quickly we forget Sandra Bland and the names of so many...

Reminder that “Say her name” was developed specifically to call attention to murders of Black women

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.

I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

Yes, forest trees die of old age. But the warming climate is killing them faster The warming climate is killing Australia’s forest trees at a faster rate. This offers a glimpse of what may lie ahead for forests globally.

I hear from friends in WA, where the trees are dying.
I hear of the loss in the Adelaide Hills.
I see it here in Central VIC.
I see it across the higher mountains.

The fact that ecologists still manage to function in the face of ongoing loss is a daily miracle.

As many Black people have pointed out across social media time and time again, this violence is not a bug but a feature of the system. It's always been there, used against Black, brown and Indigenous folk. And let's not pretend it's just in the US (even if the violence is less lethal elsewhere).

Remember, the genocide is ongoing.

Thank you for the work effort you are putting into the Giving Circle!

I'm currently without an income but managed to sell some things on Vinted and donated what I got. If you have something to give, however small, please do so.

Are you an ECR/Postdoc who feels stuck/hopeless? Hit me up, we can cry together.

Fuck you and fuck the US.

Help Baha and his family rebuild their home and meet their d Lying on my back feeling helpless and powerless, I decided to tell you my story from the beginning.

Little Talia is growing slowly, smiling. She needs formula and diapers. Biased western media is not covering any news regarding Palestine but there is no proper aid getting into Gaza. Shortages in basic things. Help Samaa and Baha to cover Talia's and Julia's basic needs.
