Quick reminder that if you see a headline from a source you’ve never heard of that isn’t being reported by anyone else, you really should do some due diligence before spreading it around as fact. There’s enough misinformation floating around already; no need to add more.

In 2020, only 3.6% of the world’s population lived outside their country of birth. People only leave their homes when they're desperate.
If conservatives really care about immigration, they would focus on stopping climate change. Because that's going to cause refugee numbers to skyrocket.

One reason I think it’s important to continue to highlight the disparity on our streets is that most people just don’t see it.
Despite it being obvious to some, so many people don't have clarity because we have done such an incredible job of normalizing this imbalance.

Today I was asked in an interview about folks who use the weirdness of ✨quantum✨ to hawk pseudoscience junk. I think that kind of grift proliferates because of a big misunderstanding a lot of folks have about quantum mechanics, which is not really their fault!

Prompted by this and a need for distraction I Did Some Math. Turns out most extrasolar planets are quite cauliflower-compatible. A thread, with citations. And laboratory astrophysics. And footnotes.

Why city planning needs diverse perspectives.
Touring possible commuter cycling routes.
What I saw - Smooth pavement. Separate from traffic. Shade. Not too busy. Perfect.
What my female partner saw - Blind corners. No lighting. No escape routes. Too few users. Wouldn’t use this route.

so, possibly a silly question that I could just google myself, but I like asking real humans... what are we calling posts on this platform? "Bluesky post" just doesn't have the same nifty sound as "tweet".

Newsky Bluesky tips by me, figmentpudding;
1. Use alt text, it can take a little time but just imagine your bestie is sitting with their eyes closed and you're explaining a picture to them like a little ASMR meditation, because you care about them and want them to thrive <3
On videos and gifs too
