Just a woman living in Australia doomscrolling through the climate crisis, misogyny and the plague while trying to appreciate beauty and humour and raise well adjusted offspring. Also I like novels and I'm heaps traumatised.

It was on this day
six years ago
that the WHO
officially declared
COVID-19
a global pandemic.

So it is on this day
six years later
that all of us
officially enter
the seventh year
of this pandemic.

Yeah contact them separately if domain name or spelling mistakes etc aren’t obvious signs it’s a scam it’s probably legit but better to ask than be sorry.

Murphy: β€œI think it’s likely the U.S. carried out this attack on this school β€” I think it's unforgivable under any circumstances, but the fact that this was one of our 1st targeting decisions, that this mistake was made on the 1st day of war β€” I think speaks to the incompetence of our leadership”

A lot of us veterans are not ok right now.

Do not EVER ask a veteran if they killed someone.

Do not ask us if we wish we could go fight again.

No human should experience war. Period.

Even if you are 100% convinced that Democracy is already dead and our votes won't count...
PLEASE VOTE ANYWAY!
I'm begging everyone. There is a critical mass of voter turnout that will be too big to fix.
Please vote, no matter how bleak it seems.

Crazy to think that six years ago this time, we had the last normal week of our lives.

Caitlin KALINOWSKI over X

I resigned from OpenAl. I care deeply about the Robotics team and the work we built together.
This wasn't an easy call. Al has an important role in national security. But surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got. This was about principle, not people. I have deep respect for Sam and the team, and I'm proud of what we built together.

The reason we have β€œstupid rules of engagement” is to make sure we don’t bomb elementary schools.

Understand that 80 million Evangelicals in πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ, people who believe in the Rapture is why Trump is President, why Iran is being bombed, and why we are now paying a fortune for everything.

After I noted
how a century ago
there was a pandemic
followed by fascism
and a world war,
the historian called me
and explained
that a century ago
there was a pandemic
followed by fascism
and a world war
and also by
nuclear explosions,
so let us hope
history stops repeating.

People who believe in an imminent Rapture/Armageddon don't have anything invested in what happens to you here on Earth. You are irrelevant to them and will be treated accordingly.

The American government telling their troops that they invaded Iran to bring about the rapture is terrifying. I don’t think the media should move on from that when they’ve given the justification that they are fighting a Holy War. At what point does someone step in and stop this insanity?

1908: the Lancet, one of the most respected scientific journals, calls for 18 age limit on reading in bed amidst a moral panic surrounding children becoming "addicted" to novels, which were "designed to keep kids hooked" and destroy their attention/mental health

My late father was a little obsessed with Iranian politics (despite not being Iranian). He taught me from a young age about democratically elected Mosaddegh, who was toppled by the USA to install the oppressive Shah, which led directly to the Islamic Republic. Mosaddegh was nationalizing the oil.

When I asked for her insights
on this perilous moment
the historian told me
that she used to believe
we would never again
see nuclear weapons
used in a war,
yes, when I asked for her insights
on this perilous moment
the historian told me
that she used to believe that.
