I maintain that the best summation of my feminist beliefs are that men and women are not fundamentally different. There are a few quantifiable differences if you average out every woman and every man, but they are not qualitative. And most of them are socially constructed, and would be fixed if we started treating men and women the same. Neither is inherently smarter, neither is inherently kinder, neither is inherently more stoic or stronger or angrier or softer. Everyone is obsessed with the differences between women and men, with finding them and creating them and distancing themselves from the "other half". It's fucked up

70% Drop in Levels of Forever Chemicals Observed in Seabird Eggs Tracks Regulatory Success

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.

[sattarehi]

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!

Environmental problems CAN BE SOLVED.

The duality of man is thinking “children cannot help themselves and we all need to be patient with them as they explore what it means to be human in public” and also “damn, I wish this crying baby was not on the plane rn :/“

[ffcrazy15]

Just as courage is not the absence of fear but doing the brave thing in spite of it, patience is not the absence of irritation but doing the kind thing in spite of it.

[ninanation]

Come to think of it, it really is insane that my entire country is burning alive and literally no one in the rest of the world cares. Thousands of Indians are dying every day from the heat, it's 45+ degrees in multiple areas, the government couldn't give two fucks, we're getting severe warnings and red alerts, and not a soul outside of South Asia is speaking about it because why would you ever care about brown people

[ninanation]

please keep talking about how Becky from Maryland doesn't like the rising gas prices. It's clearly the more pressing issue.

In case anyone needs this today or ever.

[tjalexandernyc]

if you're subscribed to Microsoft word, you probably received an email recently saying they're upping their prices. Like, a lot. ($9.99/month instead of $6.99)

guess what though? you can log into your account, click Cancel Subscription, and get the option to continue your subscription at the same price WITHOUT their bullshit AI.

That's right, the new, higher price is actually a different subscription that includes AI that everyone is being opted into by force! What a cool and fun product that clearly everyone wants.

you can also choose to buy Word 2024 without AI for a single lump sum that will be yours in perpetuity, with no updates, for one computer.

Check your subscription if you need Word for work! Don't get duped into paying for something you might not even want

[ralfmaximus]

Also, reminder that Word 2007 still installs just fine on Windows 11 and can do damn near everything Word 2024 does.

Full Office 2007 installation media here.

With these added bonuses:

No frequent updates that prevent you from using the thing while it updates

No AI grammar/spell check (it's all local, baby!)

No nag screens about sharing everything with OneDrive

Runs screamingly fast on modern computers

Free to use, since Microsoft doesn't give a shit

The only downside I can recall is that working with PDF files is a bit frustrating and requires additional steps. But if all you need is DOC or DOCX it's great.

99% of the leftists on this site who claim they want to change stuff need to see this.

Then they either need to shape the fuck up or get real cool with admitting they’re fascists in gay hats.

Petition: Repeal the Online Safety Act

We want the Government to repeal the Online Safety act.

I hate having to post political posts like this nut he we are again. Anybody from the UK wanna sign this. Folks from outside the UK maybe share it?

[corvidkusnos]

PLEASE sign this if you're in the UK

And in the meantime, many have recommended getting a VPN, too.

Non-UK folk, help this get more reach if you can!

Huhn. I thought they were aligning themselves with Trump last I heard. Well, good on him.

Info from Reddit:

To anyone considering supporting Ben Cohen: You need to be aware that Ben has sold Ben & Jerry’s to Unilever a long time ago. He is currently involved in lawsuits against them for ousting him and silencing the company’s progressive social mission. Supporting Ben & Jerry’s now is no different than supporting any other MAGA-aligned business. Ben Cohen is the good person here — not the company. Ben’s Best Blnz (B3) is a nonprofit cannabis brand launched by Ben Cohen (co-founder of Ben & Jerry’s) to fight racial injustice from the War on Drugs. 100% of profits go to: - 80% → grants for Black cannabis entrepreneurs - 10% → Vermont Racial Justice Alliance - 10% → Last Prisoner Project Support the cause or share the mission. Ben's Best Blnz (B3)

WSJ article about how Unilever forced B&J to continue to sell in settlements in the Israeli-occupied West Bank and prevented B&J from posting any criticism of Trump on his inauguration.

Sometimes you have to take a step back and remember that same-sex marriage has only been legal in America for ten years.

[libraford]

I know that it seems like it's been this way forever, but when they were leaving it up to the states and Indiana legalized it for a whole 24 hours before Mike Pence got wise to it- me and a bunch of strangers ran around the city hall block with a rainbow flag because we were so happy. People were getting married on the spot because they'd been waiting so long and we didn't know if the ruling was going to stick.

It's wild to think about how much has changed just in my lifetime. Sodomy was a crime until 2003. Don't Ask Don't Tell was both enacted and repealed in my life.

The processes are slower than we want, but in retrospect- a lot has changed since the 90s.
