Not to start Disk Horse but my two cents on the whole "misandry is real" thing is that most forms of inequality that men face are still the result of a society that views them as superior. Which is misogyny.

Pls help. Trying to feed animals while fighting a broken ac in 100°F+ weather and keep cool. Reached ~100*F here yesterday & even ice packs aren't staying warm and the coldest watwe is like. Room temp rn. Really if I could get some food/water and electrolyte powder and make sure the heatwave doesn't make my health worse id really appreciate it. Maybe 150 for goal? Just for essentials idk fighting off heat exhaustion. Sweating buckets indoors so at least there's that. Been monitoring the animals for heatstroke signs and everything but this is brutal especially as a heat interolerate person

Americans will really measure in any form of unit huh?

As a society we have benefited so much from successful public health measures that we now have the privilege of declaring that we must not need them anymore

Bitch before enriched flour, neural tube defects like spina bifida were far more common. Even now, spina bifida clinicians and researchers are begging to have salt and maize fortified to reach groups that don’t use as much flour. Before iodized salt, the United States had a fucking GOITER BELT. Eleven years after the introduction of fluoridated water, a city in Michigan found the rate of dental caries among school children dropped a staggering 60%— in an era where tooth decay regularly fucking killed people

I’m literally not even going to start on vaccines, which are among the most successful and robustly studied public health measures in world history

You might say “oh well today we all have access to vitamins and toothpastes and dentists so we don’t need those things in our food supplies” and boy do white people on social media loooove to fucking say that. But here’s the thing: no, people don’t all have easy access to those things. That’s privilege talking yet again

Uncharismatic Fact of the Day

Need a spoon? Just ask the spoon-billed sandpiper! Unlike most other sandpipers, which have long, thin beaks, spoon-billed sandpipers have a bill that flares at the end just like a spoon. The unique shape helps the bird filter through mud and sediment to find food in the coastal marshes where it lives.

“Of course autistic people can go to the bathroom by themselves and have jobs!!” Some can’t. They’re not burdens or an “epidemic” either. Please don’t get pulled into an argument about usefulness, because that feeds into their baseline eugenic idea that you have to “contribute to society” to justify your existence. Nobody’s worth is tied to what they can do for the state.

honestly fucking fascinating that people will pretty universally understand that thin people can be naturally predisposed to thinness regardless of what they eat or their activity level, but that so many of the same people cannot possibly fathom that fat people could have similar dispositions or that there could be any factors more complex than a "lack of self control."

According to Beyond Fossil Fuels, Ireland joins Belgium, Sweden, Austria, Portugal, and the UK, who have already stopped using coal, accompanied by Spain and Slovakia who are also completing their coal phase-outs this year.

Cyprus, Lithuania, Latvia, Switzerland, Estonia, Norway, Malta, Albania, and Luxembourg never burned coal at the grid level. This leaves Serbia, Montenegro, Poland, Germany, France, Italy, Slovenia, Bosnia Herzegovina, North Macedonia, Finland, Hungary, Bulgaria, Czechia, Romania, Croatia, Greece, Denmark and the Netherlands who rely on coal to some degree.
