Spent summers there as a kid. That’s not liberal country at all.

I worked at a place in Germany that did this for brunch. Put on a plate with chopped up leftover nutloaves and/or pound cakes from the day before, smothered them in fruit, syrup, and marinated black cherries with cream.
Called it: Jellyfish on the beach.

Noticed an uptick in stupid trolls this week and just ignored them. 😬

It’s not like racism is a youthful folly.

An exciting job opportunity at the Manitoba Museum! Please share widely, but note that this position is for First Nations, Inuit, and Métis candidates only!

And what happens to their staff? Presumably, they will go without pay?

Soylent green is people!

Wow that's really weird advice, on so many levels.

112 acres of biodiverse land in the Devon dairy-belt needs saving. Only £10k short now. Can you chip in or share this skeet? Thanks!

I mean, him being proud of that particular point doesn't even merit a slow clap.

My god. Yes, the rage baiters must be making unimaginable bank, no wonder they work it so hard.

With the latest budget cuts to polar science, we’re not necessarily losing the raw data - but we are losing its translation...

The stories behind the numbers, the context for decision-making, and the communication of the Arctic and Antarctic’s far-reaching impacts throughout the year.

Chainsaws and rock music are all fun until the actual work needs to be done...

That's why we need to cut funding for data gathering, Nick. This stuff is just too scary to know.

Ignorance is bliss, right?

It turns out getting an MRI is sort of like being physically inside a Laurie Anderson song, without the lyrics or melody.

Better than expected, is what I'm saying.

Today's lesson in: You are not automatically entitled to anyone's approval.

See also: The 20s/30s is when friends start assessing who they actually want in their lives rather than who is simply in proximity. The road sort of runs out for those people you don't want to be a longer journey with, esp if they drift off into icky political waters.

AI-generated lessons ftw

This is the only lesson: AI is not suitable for teaching our kids anything, at least not yet.

Now this is what I like in my flash fiction...

This is the quiet, but slowly getting louder horror story taking place across the northern hemisphere

Not yet...

Boy howdy are we in trouble if these folks suddenly decide to go live in their bunkers in New Zealand.

That branch has a lot of weight on it at this point, and a lot of saws.

Unless what they are itching for isn't genuine respect, but compliance after a brutal beatdown.

It's okay, we've only just passed one of the official global climate tipping points. Surely that won't make much difference, right?

*sigh as deep as extinction*

a woman is holding her hands to her chest and smiling while saying `` thank you so much '' . Alt: Kristen Bell says thank you and also, jk

Honestly it's so nice to be seen and that is just so swee...

To be fair, it's still fashionable in some circles...

Until we (wp) learn to understand whiteness, racism will always be that thing out there that we can decide not to think about unless we feel like it.
