uhh what else what else,,,,
incredible to see in real time a country so effectively alienated from their labor come to the realization that labor-based collective action is a real source of power. also wild that this is in effect a siege lol.
Truckers aren’t entering Colorado in protest of Rogel Lazaro Aguilera-Mederos getting a 110 year sentence after his breaks failed and his truck killed 4 people, a tragedy the company should be liable for. I think we’re about to see the power of truckers.
this stuff is very important to share with older children. i talk to kids about it all the time, but that doesn't compare with seeing the cool looking stuff debunked in a highly accessible way like this
this is just... absolutely unmoored shit. it takes a very specific kind of irrational attachment to write this thread and still have this be a takeaway.
After reports of tenants facing eviction for using fans and air conditioning during the deadly heatwave this weekend, a tenant sent us this picture of a thermometer showing their hallway at *55 degrees* yesterday after they've pleaded with the landlord for a week to turn off heat
i would love to see a megathread assembling all the videos that start as clearly palatable peaceful protests to send to the folks to start working on them tbh. i just want to have something for every argument. the bricks being brought out, pulling from cars, all that stuff
for context, pfizer vials contain 5 doses (6 only if you have a special type of syringe) meaning there's only 400-480 individual doses, and ultimately 200-240 fully vaccinated people. plenty for a place with a 1.4m population!
well i went down a really fun rabbit hole about radiation's effect on plant growth. this phenomenon is called fasciation, it does not require radiation for the mutation to occur but it's an increased risk after contamination. you've probably seen strawberries that look like this
it's honestly embarrassing i ever thought this guy was cool. he seems so invested in the most pedantic interpretations of genuinely exciting and engaging topics to budding scientists. it's truly wild that for a while he was seen as a spiritual heir to sagan.

yeah she for sure should have just gotten sicker and sicker, risking long term lung scarring or death, just because the US has a dysfunctional healthcare situation.
ADDITIONALLY never underestimate the power of sometime-who-isn't-the-parent saying the exact same thing. it really helps when it's not the person they see as getting on their case about whatever on the daily
weirdly obsessed with the fact that almost every bathroom cabinet available on amazon apparently offgases gnarly fumes. we had one that i ended up having to return after over a month(!) sitting in the basement hoping the migraine triggering smell would lessen

she asked him to change her features so ppl wouldn’t recognize her, I heard this in a documentary about the painting. She later had him paint an individual portrait of her that does look like her

I'd rather just pay taxes toward it so that the people who require unnecessarily expensive daily drugs like insulin stop getting found dead because their campaign couldn't hit a funding mark
@nekoewen
Used to teach at a gamified after school program teaching board game design through modding existing games. Using stickers as merits and engaging in meta-conversation about value of social-cognition/gaming allowed for very meaningful development of social skills in program!
i should have added this at way fewer likes, but there is a list of links to support funds for kellogg's striking workers in the second tweet of this thread. this has been a long and challenging action and the labor movement needs every win it can get
SCOOP: A Kellogg’s executive sent this email to other members of Kellogg’s management, bragging about the new tentative deal to end the 10-week strike.
“In short… no overall gain for [workers] with 3 more weeks of strike and no income. No ratification bonus.”
just to underscore why this is important, this is from July '19. yt is a big driver of kid culture now. it's useful to talk about the economic structure and machinations involved in this form of media.
lmao if you read this tweet and think it signals zero understanding of how portrait modeling works as well as basics like evoking a specific motif/aesthetic (or as the kids say "big mood") please consider that you don't HAVE to assume the worst about people around you ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
y'all ever scroll through and realize you are just on a specific person's tl instead of your own feed and panic about how long you've been scrolling and liking things
@shockvaluecola
idk i have had to tell grown ass adults that when they put a hot coal in a jar of peanut butter and then rinse pb off a fat quartz saying it turned into a diamond that that's not how that works. they wanted me to cite sources lmao.
@mnicholscomedy
@detachment_red
this makes a lot of sense, thanks for the context! i had assumed it was solely in pursuit of a very specific aesthetic, and i just enjoyed imagining the "... are you SERIOUS??" conversation after the fact.
also, glad to hear she got hers lol

@BAKKOOONN
These tweets are great to me because the way folks treat those working for them is a much more meaningful measure than with fans. I say this as a babysitter who's worked with the kids of musicians I've listened to since MS/HS
just talking about advertising and content as an ecosystem where their brain is the main source of nutrients that feeds the machine can help a child understand what's going on, and why it's all so appealing.
it's an excellent springboard for developing skills in critical assessment, and a system that truly deserves a cynical lens. but again, depending on your relationship with kids, having another adult they look up to deliver/reinforce it can be instrumental to its absorption!
apparently it happens in fruits on accident all the time, where they start sprouting. it can look anywhere from cool to horrifying, with almost every tomato pic coming in under "horrifying"

@chenchenzh
i doubt it was a decision made lightly, considering their awareness of the dire consequences. also, there is a very high likelihood that the most possible precaution was taken. east asians have been the butt of jokes for years for those same precautions being used regularly

if regular ass house cats can decimate local bird and rodent populations from a fairly early age i have a feeling this actual wild and experienced hunter will be just fine ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@MikeLarson15703
i came across something that was like "if the finish gets patchy, stripping and reseasoning is fine but you don't really have to do it, just cook more" and i stopped worrying so much and it's been great lol
thinking about vivipary more... the interesting thing is that some don't appear to be growing cotelydons, the two embryonic leaves that sprout first. they are mature, including later stage parts like petals.
this is probably the best thread i have seen on household/human temp management so far. if anyone is like "wow, what weenies" you have to keep in mind that only 60% of portland households and 30% of seattle households have ac and they are being subjected to death valley temps rn.
If they're in the cooling room, get them flat and deploy the socks as well as the frozen veg. Top of the head, back of the neck, both armpits, small of the back, between the thighs, back of the knees. Try to bring their temp down in the cooling room BEFORE taking them to the bath
It's officially my birthday. My mother is losing her vision and hearing and is unemployed sans UEI and is having trouble navigating insurance. Can you give me the ultimate gift by helping her maintain her senses?
hooooooo boy if you don't take the coming geopolitical clusterfuck that will be mass migration seriously, like if it doesn't twist your stomach and literally keep you up (unless of course you have understandably compartmentalized it) i highly recommend looking into it
@bombsfall
i feel this the most when you get to see the moon illuminated by planetshine (sunlight bounces off of earth and onto moon) instead of the sun. that's when you can really get a sense that it's just a big ass ball right up there. feels more 3 dimensional. sends chills down my spine
oh my god the guy who mic check'd his own insta is traveling up the coast to work with other police forces cool everyone meet 2020's deray lmao this time he doesn't even have charter schools to sell just his own brand.

getting their credit in there because they're a real sweetie and this song is so beautiful in sentiment i literally got a little teary eyed lol

I don't think this dude lives in the Philippines. Be wary, even well-meaning ppl who give false info will exhaust you quickly. Good luck.
@nekoewen
I will say, the owner came up with a BRILLIANT and fully formed concept that I could build a fucking thesis out of on its effectiveness in well-rounded education including social interaction but the owner doesn't quite understand why what he made works the way the rest of us did
@kenklippenstein
jesus i watched a gen x dude do this exact thing before dropping a ton of hints about how they should all start swinging with each other
it pays to be the one that doesn't hit the dance floor and hangs as "one of the guys"

there's a variety of ways to cover 6 miles, and a lot of policy/market choices that unfortunately incentivizes personal vehicle travel. but it's pretty funny to imagine 6mi as this like, epic trek. people walk that amount for fun all the time, but of course brutal when obligatory
@shockvaluecola
these are fully framed as lifehacks, the companies putting them out defend them as real, and they display "projects" that could be seriously dangerous that even a lot of adults might not look at and go "that's going to end in a terrible burn"
this is A Lot but every voice in this is so fucking well executed you can practically hear the dental prosthetics in quark's voice. odo's tonal characterization is spectacular, and rom is spot the fuck on it's truly wild
overhead a convo between 4yo and dad where he asked if dad being the oldest brother means he dies first and whether he's going to live a long time. the dad said "that's the plan" THIS KID STRAIGHT UP SAID "WELL DEATH HAS A WAY OF CREEPING UP ON YA 😋" y'all those POSTS are REAL
@ProfOak
@HoldenRedman
i don't know if I'd call it self crit, more that she's very dedicated to her local and understandably angry at how the funds for her friends' injuries were mismanaged by national and pushing back against people who tell her that antifascist organizing is comparatively unimportant
