WHA33.3 Declaration of global eradication of smallpox

The Thirty-Third World Health Assembly, on this the eighth day of May 1980;

Having considered the development and results of the global programme on smallpox eradication initiated by WHO in 1958 and intensified since 1967;

Declares most solemnly that the world and all its peoples have won freedom from smallpox, which was a most devastating disease sweeping in epidemic form through many countries since earliest times, leaving death, blindness and disfigurement in its wake, and which only a decade ago was rampant in Africa, Asia and South America;

Expresses its deep gratitude to all nations and individuals who contributed to the success of this noble and historic endeavour;

Calls this unprecedented achievement in the history of public health to the attention of all nations, which by their collective action have freed mankind of this ancient scourge and, in so doing, have demonstrated how nations working together in a common cause may further human progress.

(We celebrate in December because the Global Commission for the Certification of Smallpox Eradication published their report on December 9th 1979.)

it's weird to post callouts and blacklists, it's weird to make up stories and assumptions about a stranger's offline life, it's weird to act like you know what some people have/not experienced, it's weird to dismiss someone's pain, it's weird to become a bigot in response to pain, it's weird to send spam and threats and misinformation, and it's weird to defend people for doing any of the previous. Most of all it's weird that people do all of the above with the alleged goal of making the world a better place. You aren't.

#i think im just going to be offline for a while. sick of this fucking site as it's having a collective pissing on each other contest

I’ve been asked to volunteer some time to speak on local crime as a person with experience in Security and depending on what they’re expecting they’re either gonna love it or hate it, I can see no middle ground

teaboot

P much all crime is a convergence of means, motive, and opportunity, ime, and it’s impossible to eliminate means, which leads me to think that all we can actually DO to “stop” crime is reduce motive and reduce opportunity.

If a community can tackle Reducing Motives- offering safe distribution sites, shelter, food pantries, mental health, clothing, education, outreach, etc

And private businesses and individuals take responsibility for Reducing Opportunity- hiring ACTUAL security, training staff, maintaining equipment, locking doors, not leaving valuables unattended, etc

Then that’s just. Most Crime

But everyone WANTS to just “lock up the bad apples so the streets are safe for the normal people” and that’s not….. Anything, actually

From Google Translate: Amharic —> English via text detection on Google Images:

Left panel: “I don’t know about HIV/AIDS.”

Middle panel: “I have not heard of HIV/AIDS.”

Right panel: “I don’t talk about HIV/AIDS.”

Black and red text lines beneath:

“Hiding about AIDS is dangerous!”

“Let’s talk about what we do, and practice what we talk about.”

End translation.

As a side note… you can see a small USAID logo on the bottom-right of this poster.

Are you like allergic to alliums or just joy

I might be allergic to joy in that I don't think garlic tastes that good, especially without other flavors to balance it, and I love potatoes so much that it makes me sad when I take a bite of a dish that feels like it exists to be the pure essence of potato, and all I taste is garlic

#this is an extremely rare day when I actually notice my messages

watching a cosplay creator's youtube video where they mentioned that, working in just content creation and freelance design work, what he missed the most from having a day job was their coworkers. full respect to this man but extroverts are insane

scribefindegil

Genuinely one of my favorite things about TNG is how often they're just doing art for fun. Riker's been playing trombone since he was a kid and he really enjoys it and also he is Not Good. Dr. Crusher is stalking the halls trying to rope all her friends and acquaintances into joining her community theater productions and musical reviews even if they've never been on stage before. They're constantly going to their crewmates' music recitals and poetry readings, and some of these people are impressively good at what they do but some of them are just getting started or content to stay at beginner level. They're having fun! They don't have to be prodigies in order to be involved with art because engaging with art on whatever level has value of its own! THIS is what I want to see in my post-scarcity socialist space future. Will Riker's bad trombone playing is load-bearing, actually.

Also, in the age of replicators, Will Riker still does cook.

Badly.

But he cooks for the love of the game, not the flavour profile of the food. So in a post-scarcity food covered by machine printers, William 'Trombone' Riker is whipping up the worst omelet in Starfleet because he just loves the cooking process.

#star trek #tng #yk even if we had food printers I'd still insist on making mashed potatoes by hand every time #not only bc nobody makes them exactly the way I like them (smooth; no dairy; NO FUCKING ALLIUMS. FUCK YOU)#but also; god; it feels so good to mash them #food printers would be incredible for shit like macarons though. they're hard to make and made with expensive ingredients

unfortunate that I must inform you but; sometimes, people get annoyed by your social and political beliefs, not because they're a bad person with bad politics, but because you're being annoying in how you engage in those topics

dragontatoes

also some of you are just fucking mean. why do you think you'll get people to become marxists by being mean

weepingwitch

i know this means absolutely nothing to most people but basically all of the little web game things I've made recently (angels in automata, hex plant growing game, d.a.n.m.a.k.u., life music, sudoku land, the metroidvania style map editor, etc etc etc) are all entirely self-contained individual client-side html files that can be downloaded and run offline and have literally no libraries or frameworks or dependencies, because i'm an insane woman who enjoys hand coding my input handling and display code from scratch in vanilla js and having it all live in one single html file with the game logic and the page structure and the page style all just living and loving together side by side in a universal format that can be run by any web browser on any devixe. i'll even include image files as base64 data-uri strings just to keep every single asset inside the one file.

submalevolentgrace

the sudoku one is gorgeous and a really intuitive way to play sudoku

greaseonmymouth

i also really love the hexplant one

(reaching the purple aquare with the three exlamation marks is how you 'win' this game)

this is going Around again and it is always funny to me when ppl tag it "need to try this later on my computer" babes you don't need to wait they all work on mobile too <3

800 years ago at All Saints Church in Hereford, England, a skillful carpenter carved this gentleman high up in the dark roof where nobody could see him. Five years ago they built an extra floor with bright lights for a restaurant.

I had to get my favorite moment from the new Defunctland video on its own

meanya

The wall behind him would come down and OH MY GOD--

It's HUGE!! 😱

It's SO BIG!! 😨

WHY would they think this wasn't big enough⁉️

This could KILL someone. 💀

Mezzatesa even said, quote, "This could kill someone." 😶

It's 13ft tall! 🫢

It's 18 feet long! 🫣

It's 11,000 pounds!! 😦

For our metric based audience, 🤓

that is equal to: Something that is huge and enough to kill someone 😓

Also I am asking all of you, once again, to learn about ecosystem conservation and restoration instead of wallowing in "we are already past the point of no return" or that it will take "millennia" to restore ecosystems.

You have to understand that nature does not work in the same timeframe as ours. Protecting and restoring ecosystems is RIDICULOUSLY inexpensive and requires very little industrial technology; shovels and saplings are not exactly high-tech. But it takes time and long-term projects with people determined to do it. Maybe we are too focused in our "we want it now" thinking, but what you see today is not what you may see in 10, 20, 50, even 80 years if you live that long.

But it works. It's working right now, and when capitalism is replaced by socialism and we stop thinking on short-term gain, when our societies are focused into the common welfare instead of accumulation, it will even work better. Again I could point out to individual examples but instead, I encourage you to learn about ecology. We are well past from the catastrophic "Earth will die and there's nothing we can do" predictions from the 80s. We know what to do, we know it can work.

robthefrench

The delusional economic view in the last paragraph aside, it is better to have a positive mindset about this stuff. Most ecological problems are still fixable if we put the effort in; "it's too late to fix it" is a self-fulfilling outlook.

elbiotipo

This is not post about "positive mindset" or outlooks, it is about how there are things right now that work, are proven to work, and can be put to work. It is not a question of being positive or negative or not but to implementing them.

Following this, the construction of socialism is not "delusion", socialism is something that has strong theoretical basis and can be put in practice. The current state of affairs is temporary and can be replaced by socialism, this is not just an idea but actual changes to society that can be done.

#hm i wonder why 'earth will die and theres nothing we can do' became so popular during a huge shift to the right in america #maybe bc doomerism is extremely useful for capitalists and fascists and christian nationalism #i say this all the time but the more you learn about REAL ecology and environmental studies the more obvious that there have been easy #solutions the entire time and there continue to be easy solutions. ppl dont do them bc the capitalism and christofascists bury them and/or #convince ppl it's 'too late' so you may as well have fun w your temu garbage until the 'inevitable rapture'#you need to follow positive environmental news. all the species brought back from threat of extinction; energy breakthroughs;#medical breakthroughs (human health and environment are quite inextricable). the fucking OZONE LAYER getting fixed? hello???
