Devastating news: the Slender-billed Curlew has just been declared extinct. This Slender-billed Curlew is from "A history of the birds of Europe, not observed in the British Isles" (1863). #SciArt by Benjamin Fawcett #ExtinctionIsForever www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/42530095

This is HUGE! Please share so people with ME/CFS can learn about this incredible medical breakthrough!!

It not only helps develop a diagnostic test, but also points to immune and inflammatory changes to aid future treatments. After 80+ years of no treatment, there’s some hope, finally!!

You are not behind. You are becoming – and becoming takes time, shadow, and stillness. ✨💜

I prefer “anti-fascist“ for a host of reasons and this is a nice practical one.
I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

Side-quest from my Culpeper's Herbal: Digitising the index of a Victorian dictionary of English plant names 😛

I've been adding them to my database of common names. I've added almost 10,000 records 😅

“What radicalized you?” Bro I was told to treat people the way I would want to be treated in kindergarten and it made sense idk what else there is to say
Tbf that is a helluva combination, but you're still also in a helluva situation even without that.

I hope you get to be pleasantly surprised by both how your health progresses, and how much you still get to write.

And that the world gets to have you in it for a decent while yet 💖
This is what happens when I don't have wireless headphones 😅

(I finally took mine back re connectivity issues since I bought them, and Sony decided that adding stickers to the exterior of the headband clearly caused the problem and therefore voided the warranty. $450 headphones < stickers)
Guess who tried to make pancakes for dinner (/breakfast, since I haven't actually eaten yet) and instead up-ended almost an entire batch of pancake batter on the floor (after their earphones cable got caught around the jug)?

It me 🙃

So new studies showcase that the more you know how GenAi works, the less likely you are to use it! 😌

This reminds me of ai advocates who claim that those who refuse to use GenAi do so because they dont know how it works, yet it’s the opposite!
The less you know the more you are likely to use GenAi
The Less You Know About AI, the More You Are Likely to Use It
AI can seem magical to those with low AI literacy, a new study finds. That, in turn, might make them more willing to try it.

The stuff in the US has definitely emboldened folks, but nothing happens in isolation. It's not a coincidence it's here, and there, and the UK, and more.

The US learned a lot from Australia's terrible treatment of refugees, and we should be way more fucking ashamed of that, honestly.
I was glad to hear that the numbers were a tiny fraction of the turnout of last weekend's rallies for Palestine... But it's still far too many.

From what I hear, the counter-rallies were pretty strong, too. But the fact that nazi-run rallies are getting thousands of attendees is not ok 😔
