I don't think people understand how thin the line between "deportation" and "extermination" really is - not just in Europe, but everywhere the topic comes up. Many people feel comfortable with the idea of deportation because it obscures the underlying violence that is necessarily implied.

And to spell it out: when DHH says "deport Romani people", those are people who are citizens of the country they live in. Where would they be deported to? When the Nazis ran into this same question, they created extermination camps. bsky.app/profile/anil...

There IS an overarching cultural pressure indoctrinating children into a specific sexuality, but it's not the queers doing it!

How does one become indoctrinated into bisexuality?

Canadians and Northern USers, you would be shocked how well these work! Please, please, if you have the time and the money, make one.

GOOD NEWS! Phase I clinical trial results out of John Hopkins show a first-of-its-kind vaccine designed to target common KRAS mutations was safe AND stimulated KRAS-specific T-cell responses in 90% of study participants who were at HIGH risk of developing pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).

Phase I results show early promise for a vaccine designed to prevent pancreatic cancer in people at high risk of developing the disease.

Fellow prisoners also managed to smuggle in gunpowder in small packets sewn into their clothing until the Sonderkommandos had enough powder to blow up one of the crematorium buildings. The incredible bravery of these Jewish prisoners, who knew they were doomed.

If you have a hashtag with multiple words, write the hashtag in #PascalCase or #camelCase to help users of screen readers. That helps the screen reader to read out the words out individually, rather than trying to read them in one long word.

Even with an intact CDC and FDA, only like 1% of foodbourne outbreaks were ever identified. 1 out of 6 Americans get a foodbourne illness each year, with no identifiable cause. Now? All but the very largest, most severe outbreaks will be just like that.

Pookleblinky@pookleblinky.bsky.social · 2y ago

Fun fact: the vast vast majority of foodbourne illness in the US is not part of an outbreak, defined as 2+ people getting sick from a common food source, but a sporadic and isolated thing. Only about 1% of outbreaks are ever actually identified as such.

i cannot implore you enough to use respiratory protection that *really works* for what you’re facing. yes, the best mask is the mask you’ll wear, but when conditions are this bad, know that not all tools are created equal. if you can access something better and are able to wear it, it’s worth it.

PM2.5 Kills ~9 Million People Each Year Worldwide@tkovach.bsky.social · 3w ago

I feel like there should maybe be more coverage of the fact that NOAA is forecasting the AQI in Cleveland will be 296 tomorrow and 365 on Friday. That's worse than June 2023.

"I'd kill for my child" okay but would you put aside your preconceived notions of gender or sexuality for your child? would you apologize to your child when you're wrong? would you tell your child they can be whoever they want to be, and mean it? your child doesn't need more killing in their name

sex is the gendering of the body. the patriarchal gender structure is hierarchical. sex is a weight, a yard stick to measure you & a night stick to beat you. "biological sex" brands a woman's oppression on her flesh, through which her value to the brotherhood is stamped. abolish sex to free sex

A whole lot of people with otherwise progressive views suddenly get real mad when you talk about doing anything at all to address the scourge of speeding drivers killing people

Brilliant. See also “I kissed her in the train yesterday”, which can have eight different meanings by adding the word “only” in different places.

And to think they try to claim that English isn't a tonal language.

Felicity Hannah@felicityhannah.bsky.social · 3w ago

My son just told me is favourite sentence is: “I didn’t say we should kill him” because if you emphasise each different word it changes the entire meaning

you will assume you've got this figured out within the first few seconds and by the end you'll be questioning everything you know of our shared reality

need you all to see this deeply indescribable cooking video

people hate on this episode for its objectively bonkers premise but you KNOW if the genders were reversed and it was James T. Kirk being haunted by a hot babe in a sex candle we wouid all be like “yep that’s just TOS for you” and not even blink it’s CLASSIC Trek bonkers actually

People start getting angry when your illness doesn’t improve. Eventually, you stop being seen as someone who is sick and start being seen as an inconvenience, even a source of annoyance, to people who don’t even know you.

seriously, thank you! I have a form of orthostatic intolerance called POTS and I either need to be on the move or sit. I cannot comfortably stand and wait.

Your friendly neighborhood bench builders were back at it this weekend 🥳

Everything could be so different. Instead of an education system where college students, under pressure to get the best grades, turn to AI to cheat - we could have a form of education that's not about competing for grades (and a chance to survive within a capitalist economy), but about

Also like man I don't know there used to be societies where they didn't force people to sleep in the street in the pouring rain for not having enough money and it's absolutely unhinged that we've just accepted that this is a thing that can be done to a person Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

There is more surveillance in the average American grocery store than there was on the inside of the Death Star. Our ancestors' most fevered imaginings of totalitarianism do not compare with the level of surveillance we are under every second of every day of our life Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

what is the reverse historical dorito? the thing from the past that would blow our minds in a positive way

I was supposed to walk in for a shift (at a new job, where I had experienced transphobia during orientation and I wasn't given many hours) today. Instead I slept through my alarm. I need all the income I can get right now. I've had such a difficult relationship with sleep and timeliness since COVID.

I wish so fervently this thread would become irrelevant.

🏴🚩 Trans Kafka (any pronouns) 🍉🍉🍉 IS A REAL HUMAN PERSON!@alexpetrovnia.bsky.social · last yr.

As a trans CSA survivor, I cannot emphasize enough how infuriating, dehumanizing, and devastating it is to watch the majority of society around me get so agitated about the hypothetical bogeyman of the "pedophile" (aka queer person) while intentionally ignoring the actual pedophiles in their midst.

So I have care teams with 2 medical groups because of reasons, & I'm looking at the blood panels done by each of them & they have— in some cases Drastically— different ranges for what they consider "normal" values. In case you ever wonder why we talk about science and technology as being constructed

What if women didn’t have to make a public spectacle of the most painful and personal violence of their lives in order to clean out the most violent misogynists from the Democratic Party?
