Torturing animals, strip mining the earth, colonization, and exploiting and abusing women all come from the same poison tree. We live on such an astonishingly beautiful, miracle of a planet and this is what we do to it

Getting your flu shot may do more than protect against the flu: evidence now shows that the shot may protect against cognitive decline. Studies now link routine adult vaccination to a lower risk of Alzheimer's and other dementias in older adults. The lower risk applies not only to the flu vaccine, but also to the shingles vaccine, pneumococcal vaccine, and the diptheria, pertussis tetanus vaccine (Tdap). If you want to protect your body and brain, stay vaccinated.

For Africa, climate change is not about the future. It's about now. Our crops failing, our lakes shrinking, our people displaced — while boardrooms thousands of miles away count record profits. We don't have a climate problem. We have a justice problem. #ClimateJustice

Birders remember entering the Ramble in Central Park on sunny days and seeing Elise Bainbridge Hill, a 63-year-old unhoused woman, working with watercolors and a coffee-cup-lid palette. “She was there at all hours,” Sandra Paci, a birder who used to work in art galleries, tells me. In recent years, Hill at times slept in a gazebo amid the overgrown woods. She spent her days feeding the birds and making art, creating striking paintings of animals and night skies, pieces of the city that few others really saw. “When you look at the works, the quality was extremely high,” Paci says. “She had a real feeling for nature.” On Sunday, September 27, Hill, also known as Francis Lee Rogers — and several other names, according to those who knew her — was found dead, violently killed in a case that is still being investigated for motive. Her death brought an outpouring of grief. “She wasn’t a gimmick,” says Karen Gehres, who made a documentary about Hill. “She was a true artist. That was her life.” Read more about the life of the painter in Central Park: nymag.visitlink.me/36KgBk

BREAKING: WE JUST WON!! All border wall/road construction across the entire Big Bend region is halted. What a massive, historic victory for everyone across Big Bend—the toughest, most beautiful souls I know. I’m a speechless puddle of tears. More to come soon.

Trump is dispatching roughly 9,000 troops aboard a group of ships to the Middle East, on Thursday and Trump is warning about new strikes against Iran could be on the horizon. apnews.com/article/iran-war-…

This is not Hiroshima, this's Gaza. Gaza is nearly 3 times smaller than Hiroshima, and Israel dropped 223,000+ tonnes of explosives, equivalent of ~15 "Little Boy" ATOMIC BOMBS, on Gaza. The world hasn’t seen anything like the destruction in Gaza since Second World War.

BREAKING: Trump's war in Iran is making it even more expensive to buy a home.

NEW ANALYSIS — In Gaza, Israel’s ongoing destruction during the so-called ceasefire is desecrating the bodies of Palestinians which remain beneath the rubble. Our analysis of videos and satellite imagery finds military practices of demolition, compaction and removal of rubble. These risk making the recovery of Palestinian remains impossible in the 65% of Gaza under Israel’s control.

NEXT Life Sciences has been developing Plan A, a nonhormonal contraceptive for men. It’s designed to last about 10 years and can be reversed. The company is aiming to win FDA approval in 2028. wapo.st/4xNrQSV

I can’t imagine what the parents of Dahmer’s victims must feel, having to relive their trauma over and over again while Hollywood continues to turn the murderer of their loved ones into a caricature and a spectacle. It’s fuck Ryan Murphy forever.

BREAKING: Bernie Sanders, AOC, and Jeff Merkley are introducing the Ban Flock Act. This bill would effectively put an end to AI surveillance cameras that track Americans. The Ban Flock Act would prohibit federal agencies from using automatic license plate readers (ALPRs) and block federal funding from state and local governments that use this technology, making it untenable for these AI surveillance cameras to continue proliferating across the country.

turning reports of sexual violence into spectacles of debate serves misogynists two ways. they get the cruel pleasure of retraumatising people and it establishes a kind of assumed-cost for people reporting their violence. hard to imagine they don't know what they're doing.
