Today's #worldcancerday

However uncomfortable screening can be, it's nothing compared to having cancer.

Please get screened.

@Infoseepage @cstross Unfortunately, at least in America, anti-vax parents are so brainwashed that if they lose a child they either say "it's God's will, there's nothing we could have done anyway" or "they died of something else that doctors say, essential oils totally work."
By definition these people ignore facts and reality.

A report from the UK government:

"The world is already experiencing the impacts of biodiversity loss, including crop failures, intensified natural disasters and infectious disease outbreaks."

"The rate of extinction is tens to hundreds of times higher than the average over the past 10 million years. It suggests that a sixth mass extinction may be underway."

I'm really glad I switched to #Linux.

Being able to understand what the issue is then having the ability to solve it by yourself is a great feeling.

And I'm by no means a tech person!

My computer is finally "mine".
I'm the one in control, not a f***ing corporation making billions by sucking out my private info.

Honestly, it feels like I'm back in the 2000's when computers were fun to use.

"Mississippi's infant mortality rate is highest among Black babies and rose from 12.3 deaths per 1,000 births in 2023 to 15.2 per 1,000 in 2024."

"By contrast, the infant mortality rate declined for a third year in a row for white babies."

"A massive outbreak of toxic algae which has devastated hundreds of species of marine life and disrupted local tourism and fishing, is a "natural disaster," state Premier Peter Malinauskas said."

Just to keep you updated, last night I was turned into a vampire by a group of 3 pretty cool vampires, "What We Do In the Shadows" style.

I didn't get to bite anyone and didn't manage to turn into a bat but we repainted the apartment and went to the beach.

"The move came just days after Colbert publicly criticized CBS’s corporate owner, Paramount, for agreeing to pay President Donald Trump $16 million to settle an outrageous $20 billion lawsuit against the company.
The agreement was the latest in a series of bootlicking moves by Paramount as its chairwoman, Shari Redstone, desperately tries to sell the company to Skydance Media, a deal that requires federal approval."

“The reason I support trans kids, trans grown-ups, gays, and lesbians is because I know when I was growing up, I didn’t fit in anywhere”.
“That it was because of the clothes I wore, what my hair looked like, the music I listened to.
Those are all things I can rectify."

“But I don’t know what it feels like to be trapped in a body that I don’t feel I belong in.
That is why I support that.”

"The 8-3 vote in Brazil’s top court orders tech giants like Google, Meta and TikTok to actively monitor content that involves hate speech, racism and incitation to violence and act to remove it."

After Bolsonaro's arrest for his attempted coup Brazil is showing us, again, how things should be done.

Don't bother with American mainstream media doing any actual journalism.

Foreign newspapers are doing a better job at correctly reporting what's happening in our country.

"There’s no opting out of being tracked: if you drive, you should simply assume that these cameras are logging your movements.
A Texas police officer used Flock to perform a nationwide search of more than 83,000 ALPR cameras while looking for a woman who had had an abortion."

But who cares?
The only danger to women are trans women in bathroom and sports! /s

"insect populations had declined by 75% in less than three decades."

“Conservation actions overly biased towards certain insects or certain stressors will likely be negative for many other insects.”
“If we focus too much on bees and butterflies and their conservation, we will miss a lot of other species, most of them in fact.”

My husband had a medical procedure done today.
He profusely thanked the nurse who helped him when we left.

Once in the car he told me this nurse has breast cancer.
It has metastasized to her brain and she needs to have chemo every 3 weeks.
She does it Friday evenings to make sure she won't miss a day's work.
Because if she stops working she loses coverage.

You want this to change?
Go fucking vote!

Is it me or this nobody who gets famous by licking transphobes' a$$ rather than actually winning a competition also managed to make it a display of racism?

Taking a knee has important significance in the Civil Rights Movement. It's a gesture against racism and discrimination.

This white person actually thought she was discriminated and had a right to take a knee.
It's #WhitePrivilege and #CulturalAppropriation all in one.
