As a heatwave approaches, experts say US sunscreens are less effective than those abroad Other countries have approved a wider range of UV-filtering ingredients, which allow for more advanced sunscreens

This is great example of media illiteracy when it comes to risks of extreme heat: sunscreen protects skin from damage from UV rays, but it does *nothing* to protect body from overheating. For that, you need water and cool spaces (shade, AC, a cold shower etc).

They invited them in and then killed them. How is this remotely acceptable? Why aren't more countries screaming about this?

(Tangent: this was the strategy employed by the daleks in their first story to wipe out the Thals. When your strategy is the same as daleks, you are doing it wrong.)

What's we've been saying for 20 months. This is genocide. Gaza has been turned into a concentration death camp.

"It can be easy to forget, but many of the rights we have – including access to safe abortion, needle exchange, birth control, women’s right to vote, and the end of segregation – are the direct result of civil disobedience."

February, March 2025 unregulated drug toxicity data released According to preliminary data, 132 people in February and 143 people in March 2025 died due to unregulated drug toxicity, as reported by the BC Coroners Service.

Unregulated drug deaths are down, with 132 people in Feb and 143 people in March killed by the toxic supply. This is an improvement in deaths from last year, but none of these people needed to die. It's not yet clear what measures are behind the decrease in fatalities. news.gov.bc.ca/releases/202...

I spoke to YouTube star and children's educator Ms. Rachel about her outspoken support for Palestinian kids in Gaza - and the bad-faith attacks on her in response.

Tom Homan, Acting Director of ICE, implied last week that he would begin arresting mayors and governors who do not cooperate with their unconstitutional ICE plans. They just arrested Ras Baraka, Newark's Mayor. This cannot stand. This is a direct threat to any possibility of democracy.

I didn’t submit the homework that was due last week and I have no idea when I’ll finish it either. I’ll get it to you as soon as I’m done 🤦‍♂️
