Because of recent, er, discussions, let repeat me it once more time for those in the back:

Being an ally to a marginalized group means to LISTEN, first and foremost. Do NOT propose solutions in advance of actual data. People from marginalized groups have almost certainly thought about their […]

#pennedpossibilities 807 — Have you ever written anything that falls within the genre of horror? If you haven’t, is it something you would be interested in doing someday?

A bunch of German folk tales fall squarely into the "horror" genre. My favorite is this one, which is almost like a […]

Jamal Khashoggi was my friend and colleague who was killed and dismembered in 2018.

Do you know how many times I’ve written against Saudi Arabia’ coverup over the last seven years?

The sportswashing? The paying of influencers to visit Saudi Arabia?

Saudi’s censorship of Hasan Minaj?

Inuit-led solution aims to avoid killing of Marineland’s 30 belugas
A Nunavik man says Inuit leaders should step in to provide habitat to 30 beluga whales at Marineland that are at risk of being euthanized because the amusement park in Niagara Falls, Ont. can’t afford to keep them.

For over 50 years, Muthuramalingam has brought vision and hope to tens of thousands across rural India.

At 67, he is restoring sight, one child, one elderly villager, one pair of eyeglasses at a time. 👉 bit.ly/46Pfu2J #WorldSightDay
Photo of Muthuramalingam, using an ophthalmoscope to examine a young girl’s eyes. Text on the image reads: “Muthuramalingam cycled between villages, turning school verandas and shaded spots beneath trees into makeshift clinics to restore sight for those overlooked by regular healthcare.” The background features soft green and coral tones with the WHO logo in the upper right corner. Graphic with the text: “Restoring sight, one pair of eyeglasses, one child, one elderly villager at a time.” Below, a quote reads: “Eye care is not just treating vision. It is giving people a whole new life.” A small circular photo shows a man examining a patient’s eyes with an ophthalmoscope. The background is green with a subtle paper texture and a small eyeglasses icon at the bottom.

Dolly Parton isn't doing well. Keeping her in my thoughts, hoping she recovers.

May the Patron Saint of Appalachia be hale and whole, healthy and happy.

She's done so much for Appalachia, for children, for literacy. Such a warm and generous heart.

Recover well, Dolly.

Der exponentielle Anstieg geht weiter. Ich bin gespannt auf die neuen Abwasserdaten heute nachmittag.

5-Wochen-Mittel der R-Werte:
Fallmeldungen: ~1,11
Abwasser: ~1,04 [normalisiert: ~1,06]⁉️
Hospitalisierung: ~1,12
ITS-Belegung: ~1,13
ITS-Aufnahmen: ~1,10
Die Grafik ist logarithmisch skaliert. Dadurch erscheint ein exponentieller Anstieg (oder Rückgang) als Gerade. Die Grafik zeigt ⦁ die Fallmeldungen nach Berichts- und Meldedatum (blau/rot) ⦁ den Dunkelzifferfaktor (DZF) nach den NORMALISIERTEN Abwasserdaten (schwarz Strich-Punkt) ⦁ die mit den Abwasserdaten modellierte Inzidenz sowie die zentrierte 5-Wochen-Glättung (braun) ⦁ die Inzidenz inklusive Dunkelziffer (grün) ⦁ den exponentiellen Trend der Fallmeldungen und der Abwasserdaten (schwarz) ⦁ eine Extrapolation dieser Trends bis Mitte November (gestrichelt)
