Some of the most reputable global media outlets, in their dislike of Trump, have been reducing the Venezuela issue to a Trump yes or Trump no. It's very disrespectful for us Venezuelans

We're hosting an emergency fundraiser to help fund a kidney procedure, this account is ran by someone in the US and is currently uninsured and we need help. Currently we're $13.2k away from meeting our goal

Thank you all for the support so far, we're getting close to avoid debt!

Only tangentially related, but FUN FACT, gang: At least 9 Japanese medical schools, including the illustrious Tokyo Medical University, have been caught CHANGING THE SCORES on admission exams to exclude female applicants for the last 20 YEARS.

This is real! It happened!

Canada made weird tv shows because it was all being done with government funded art grant money so they fell in this wacky middle ground between “shoestring budget” and “no expectation to generate shareholder value” which is really the best way to make art

Consistently, a whopping 15% of the people who open and read our emails are in Sweden! 🤯

We had no idea what to do with this information, except to toss a semlor fragrance into this year’s Lavender Kitchen series to thank you for your kind attention.

A graph showing the rate of email opens by country, with the US at 68.9%, then Sweden at 15.2%, and all other countries less than 1%.

A Terror Bird in seven-league boots. Brown pencil, 68 × 89 mm. From 2020.
Humorous drawing in brown pencil of a phorusrhachid, a 'terror bird', an extinct flightless bird from the Cenozoic Era with a large head; a stout, heavy, hooked beak; small wings; and long, robust legs; striding merrily in a pair of cavalier boots.

it's frustrating because autistic people aren't actually worse at communication in general. autist-autist communication is just as effective as allist-allist (if not more so!) and alistics do just as poorly communicating with autistics as autistics do with them journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Today is the day to repost this meme about International Men's Day, one of the most unironically wholesome memes that has ever been made.

Shoutout to all my fellow champs, chiefs, and kings. ✊
Nerdy kid at keyboard: Hi guys, I've noticed that it is International Men's Day today, and I'm confused. Why do we need a day to talk about men? We're not a marginalised group like women, queer people, or people of colour. The media is already full of stories about men. Big buff shirtless dude at keyboard: I'm glad you asked, champ. Whatever your view on men's place in society, it's still true that we face a lot of issues - like social isolation, risk of suicide, health problems, and attitudes towards sex and child rearing. Having a day to talk about those doesn't take away from anyone else's problems. In fact, having a day to talk about them helps us be more mindful, and listen better at other times. Second shirtless buff dude on a couch at his laptop: The chief here is really on to something. I want to echo what he said, and also point out that the idea we should remain silent about our problems actually contributes to a lot of our issues. We are human beings, with human needs. Seeking mutual support and understanding isn't the same thing as placing a burden on others. Especially if we're providing it for each other. Third buff dude at his laptop: Right on, my fellow kings. We've inherited a social legacy of competition and division, and a lot of what makes a man in our era is under question. IMD is a chance for us to examine and rethink what we are together, and build the bonds of solidarity and support that will make a better way possible - like in this meme. Because in our hearts, we're all curious kids and buff guys on keyboards.

The people who make Shein's clothes labor for ten to twelve hours per day (in violation of China's labor laws), some up to seven days a week, and earn as little as 15 to 30 cents per t-shirt.
Excerpt from a BBC article: ""We usually work, 10, 11 or 12 hours a day," says a 49-year-old woman from Jiangxi unwilling to give her name. "On Sundays we work around three hours less." She is in an alleyway, where a dozen people are huddled around a row of bulletin boards. They are reading the job ads on the board, while examining the stitching on a pair of chinos draped over it. This is Shein's supply chain. The factories are contracted to make clothes on order - some small, some big. If the chinos are a hit, orders will ramp up and so must production. Factories then hire temporary workers to meet the demand their permanent staff cannot fulfil. The migrant worker from Jiangxi is looking for a short-term contract - and the chinos are an option. "We earn so little. The cost of living is now so high," she says, adding that she hopes to make enough to send back to her two children who are living with their grandparents. "We get paid per piece," she explains. "It depends how difficult the item is. Something simple like a t-shirt is one-two yuan [less than a dollar] per piece and I can make around a dozen in an hour.""
