as a regular donor to Gaza Soup Kitchen I get their email updates, and they said today that while they've continued to be able to expand, donations are slowing down as Gaza gets less coverage. If you have a few dollars to spare, I encourage you to send them here to continue the amazing work that Hani and his team are doing.
The ableism with the augment gang in DS9 is bad for many reasons but I think worst of all is the idea that the four aren’t safe to like… exist in society. Jack maybe needs some monitoring but like… a simple dude, a horny woman (it’s STAR TREK, everyone is horny), and a mute woman.
And additionally, they're given a converted cargo bay as quarters rather than, you know, regular guest quarters in the habitat ring?? The way they are treated is so terribly terribly grim.
Ive always seen their behaviour as like textbook trauma responses but its so hard to tell whether its the augmentations themselves or weathering all of this déshumanisation and helplessness alone that caused that trauma. Probably both.
Due to the limiting of medical supplies, the break down of Gaza's health system, and Israel's repeated closings of the crossings, many ill and disabled Palestinians are struggling to maintain their health.
Hamza's family is currently fighting the effects of malnutrition and chronic illness due to limited food and a lack of medical care. Food and medicine are both extremely expensive in the strip, and any amount of sharing or donation will help! Thank you!
“I’m just doing what I’m told. If I am ordered to remove gold fillings from refugees theeth then that’s what I’ll do”, says police officer Michael Hansen.
Just thought I’d add this since not a lot of people outside of the nordic countries seem to have seen it. This is a danish police officer discussing a new danish law that says the police should seize the possesions and money of refugees to finance the integration.
hello everyone I need to make some money so I am opening $80 fullbody character commissions in this style :-) if you're interested please email me! i'll do em 5 at a time
These pescatarian birds are directly exposed to PFAS contamination due to the island's position near the St. Lawrence Seaway.
Over fifty years of data show a peak in PFAS (also known as "forever chemicals") content in seabird eggs in the 90s, followed by a decrease as regulations went into effect. The most recent findings show a 70% decrease of most common PFAS.
While continued vigilance a regulation is needed, this data indicates that regulations are working to reduce PFAS concentrations in marine ecosystems.
Yes!!!! I did a review of literature on PFASs in human drinking water about half a year ago, and there is a lot of really good progress! Please celebrate this, please don't let this solution be forgotten (at least so quickly) as the ozone layer or acid rain.
We are making genuine progress! Producers are dramatically altering how much they use PFAS and how much gets released in effluent, but also there's a lot better understanding of how to remove PFAS from the environment!
Today is the first day the FIFA World Cup. We should do everything in our power to boycott it!
FIFA (International Association Football Federation in English), like many organizations, is corrupted. Here are some of the few things it has done over the past couple of weeks:
1) "FIFA president Gianni Infantino has fended off concerns over ongoing visa issues for players and officials entering the United States for the World Cup, saying the global football body’s executives are not “kings of the world” and cannot override government decisions.
Infantino, facing questions from the media on the eve of the tournament on Wednesday, said that FIFA is focused on being a “sports organisation” and will not intervene in helping the US determine approvals for entry into the country" [Al Jazeera].
2) "FIFA is banning spectators at World Cup matches from bringing reusable water bottles into its stadiums, after initially saying it would allow them.
Just three weeks ago, FIFA updated its code of conduct policy for North American venues, stating that “empty, transparent, reusable plastic bottles, up to (1 litre in) capacity, may be brought into the stadium,” Reuters reported, but backpedalled Thursday, saying they were no longer allowed and that fans will now have to purchase bottled water on site" [Global News].
3) "FIFA President Gianni Infantino defended World Cup ticket prices, saying Wednesday "if we are doing something wrong, everyone in North America is doing something wrong'" [CBC News].
As a sporting organization, it is okay with harming the local economy, the environment and does not extend its influence when it comes to the people! (Which is nothing new!)
At the same time, 'Canada' has denied entry to Palestinian Football Association officials during the pre World Cup meeting? [The Guardian]. Eventually, visas are granted after pressure from the public [Palestinian Youth Movement], but this is how you know that FIFA is a platform for Zionists!
So please keep talking about Palestine. Boycott, donate and protest! Consider helping my friend, Suad (@stillwritingtoday) [#279 in the vetted spreadsheet by @/el-shab-hussein and @/nabulsi. @/nabulsi has written multiple posts for Suad, with the latest update here].
