Sometimes I wish the general SFFH industry at large would admit, and when I say at large I include everyone writers, publishers, and other entities, that there has been a big turn against Black and brown writers and then also within that group queer, women, disabled people

From the wonderful @savannahridley.bsky.social and me: The federal government is fast-tracking a gold mine upstream from Grassy Narrows First Nation, even though its own scientists have sounded alarms about the project. www.thestar.com/news/investi...

This proposed Ontario gold mine could pollute water ‘in perpetuity.’ Why is Ottawa fast-tracking it?

Federal reports warn Kinross Gold’s proposed Great Bear mine in Ontario could release arsenic and require water treatment ‘in perpetuity.’

This summer's food recalls are broader in scope, longer-lasting, and more severe than past years as regulators are slow to respond. The parasite surveillance staff at the CDC, which responds to outbreaks (such as cyclosporiasis), was downsized last year by DOGE from 11 people to three.

Welp, there it is. The CDC is now officially manipulating data and their count of measles deaths in 2026 now stands at ZERO. My understanding of reportable diseases is that the CDC would usually use a state health department’s determination as the final say. The new CDC Director is failing us.

The CDC left two measles-associated Pa. deaths out of its latest count after RFK Jr. sparred with Gov. Shapiro

HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has accused Pennsylvania of not cooperating with the CDC in its handling of a measles outbreak.

Hey, let’s put Ron DeSantis in prison.

My girlfriend, who runs a queer archive, is looking to publish an essay of an overarching / comprehensive look the history of queer political and social organizations in East Texas and is on the hunt for queer periodicals, journals, and magazines that would be interested. Anyone have suggestion?

If you're writing a story about police abusing Flock access to stalk current/former/potential partners, I'm begging you to please follow up on the consequences these cops face for getting caught, because a lot of the time it's barely more than a slap on the wrist.

Undocumented migration does not raise crime rates, huge study finds

Analysis of neighbourhoods in more than 100 US cities finds no evidence that rising numbers of undocumented immigrants are linked with violent crime.

there is no such thing as "age verification." All "age verification" is actually "identity verification." You can coat it in glitter and "privacy-preserving" wrapping paper. But in the end, mandating age verification means mandating surveillance be built into software and hardware. Period.

there are a lot of philosophical concepts that get egregiously misused out of the seminar room (and in the seminar room, to be fair). but in terms of sheer pernicious misuse "social construct" has gotta be top 5 somewhere and it's not number 5

Channel 4 has announced documentary “The Great ADHD Myth?” It “seeks to determine whether ADHD is a genuine neurodevelopmental disorder, or a social construct.”

The article NEVER mentions prior COVID infection as a risk factor for shingles, which research has shown that it is.

The claim “RFK Jr. does not fuck chickens” is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that RFK Jr. fucks chickens.

it's not just for entertainment. gambling also goes up during economic downturns. here's the mindset: if you only have $500, you can't pay many of your bills — but if you double or triple it, you can. and if you lose that $500, you aren't much worse off than before. that's why it's so insidious.

While I gamble and believe it’s personal choice, I wonder if its rise is bread-n-circuses as we are more disconnected to world affairs, and this is entertainment as Rome burns

Daily reminder these "teen takeovers" only apply to groups of Black kids. I've never seen a "teen takeover" with pictures of kids of any other race, not once since this bullshit started to be astroturfed

stop. if you think the existence of a warrant is part of the conversation in any way, you cannot, by definition, argue that it makes any difference whether the guy they killed had a warrant or not. because right guy or wrong guy, an arrest warrant isn't a death sentence.

I see Ann Widdecombe has died. When she was Home Secretary I showed her round Drake Hall womens’s prison. There was a pregnant woman on a bed in the early stages of Labour and she asked the prison officers why she wasn’t handcuffed to the bed. That’s the kind of woman she was.
