Infection with a common parasite can seriously disrupt the brain function of intermediate hosts – potentially including humans – new research has found.
This person on TikTok has made a spreadsheet of jobs that various neurodivergent people have, and the reasons they like them. It's fascinating, and also probably very useful for people who are struggling to identify work they might feel comfortable in, considering autistic people are one of the groups with the highest unemployment levels.
The paper effectively makes the point that it’s financially impossible to offset enough carbon to compensate for future fossil fuel burning, said Daphne Yin, director of land policy at Carbon180, where her team advocates for U.S. policy support for land-based carbon removal. And the idea that companies would be required to account for the downstream emissions from the fossil fuel they extract is a “fantasy,” she said.
no, I want to plant trees because it helps to have a resilient ecosystem that's more safe in case of a cascade collapse. I want to plant trees because they provide shade in the summer. Because they improve the soil. Because they help prevent floods. Because they give birds food and shelter. Because they are fucking PRETTY.
Can we start thinking about the whole thing instead of acting as if i single problems that are not interconnected?
Plant some fucking trees, even if they are not just carbon sequestration batteries.

Colombian President Gustavo Petro has expressed concern over rising tensions in the Middle East amid Israel’s attacks on Iran, stating that “it all began with the bombing of Palestinian children: the genocide of the people of Gaza.”
Israel launched its aggression against Iran on June 13, claiming that it wanted to remove any chance of Tehran developing nuclear weapons despite Israel itself widely assumed to have nuclear weapons.
Bogotá (Quds News Network)- Colombian President Gustavo Petro has expressed concern over rising tensions in the Middle East amid Israel’s attacks on Iran, stating that "it all began with the bombing o

Demonstrators in cities around the world have taken to the streets to protest against President Donald Trump's decision to launch a strike on Iranian nuclear facilities.
Protesters in France, Pakistan, Greece and the Philippines condemned the attack, which was a significant escalation in the war between Iran and Israel.
When the British Prime Minister justifies the American-Israeli aggression against Iran by citing Britain’s alliance with both countries, he is saying much more than that. His statement also implies that Britain does not regard the Palestinians as allies.
This should come as no surprise. It was, after all, British hostility and enmity toward the Palestinian people that enabled the colonization of Palestine.

1 in 6 children in Wales has been in poverty in 3 out of the last 4 years. 🚨 Urgent, radical action from the Welsh and UK governments is needed to avoid lasting consequences. Our report with Bevan Foundation lays bare the state of poverty in Wales: www.jrf.org.uk/poverty-in-w...
Very deep poverty is rising in Wales. More people using food banks, unable to heat their homes, or living in temporary accommodation, means the human cost and impact on public services is huge.
What is biophilic design, and why do you need it in your office? via Fast Company
[Shared]The field of biophilic design aims to create spaces that optimize productivity and well-being. In the roughly 300,000 years humans have been on Earth, offices have only really been around the past few hundred years. Biophilic architecture is based on the concept that humans evolved in natural environments, and because of this, we feel the best when these factors are mimicked. Incorporation or mimicry of the natural world into our built spaces can greatly improve peoples’ health, happiness, and productivity.
The image depicts a modern office space with a large, dark wooden table at the center, surrounded by several black office chairs. The room is well-lit with natural light streaming in through a large window with a grid pattern, revealing lush greenery outside. The walls are painted white, and the floor is a light gray concrete. Several potted plants are placed around the room, adding a touch of greenery and life. The table is cluttered with office supplies, including a laptop, books, and papers. The image is framed with a decorative border featuring stylized leaves in pastel colors, including shades of green, blue, and pink.

L'immagine è un meme suddiviso in tre sezioni, ciascuna con un'immagine di un uomo e un testo sotto. Nella sezione superiore sinistra, c'è un uomo con occhiali e una camicia beige, con il testo "WINDOWS" sotto di lui. Nella sezione superiore destra, c'è un altro uomo con occhiali e una giacca nera, con il testo "LINUX" sotto di lui. Nella sezione inferiore, ci sono due uomini con occhiali, uno con una maglia nera e l'altro con una polo rossa, con il testo "WSL" sotto di loro. Il meme sembra rappresentare una parodia delle relazioni tra i sistemi operativi Windows, Linux e WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux).

un superlativo Nicholas Cage in The Surfer. C'è qualcosa di molto ballardiano in questo film, elementi da Isola di Cemento o il Condominio. Se leggete di recensioni del film che tirano in mezzo Ballard segnalatemele.
The image features two individuals sitting closely together, both wearing black leather jackets adorned with various patches. The patches include a red patch with a winged emblem, a blue patch, and a red patch with white text. The individual on the left has gray hair and is wearing a black leather jacket with a green shirt underneath. The individual on the right has blonde hair and is wearing a similar black leather jacket with a green shirt. They are positioned in front of a backdrop featuring the American flag, with red and white stripes and white stars on a blue field. The text "TOP GOY" is prominently displayed in bold white letters with red accents, accompanied by a white star. The overall composition suggests a theme related to aviation or military, possibly referencing a film or a similar media production.

«En algunos sectores de la sociedad se sostiene que la diversidad sexual y de género, todas aquellas formas que normalmente se agrupan bajo el acrónimo LGBTIAQ+, son antinaturales. Lo cierto es que se trata de una idea basada más en prejuicios que en hechos.

The image shows four individuals standing together in front of a mural depicting a seascape with clouds and water. They are positioned from left to right: a woman in a black top and floral skirt, a woman in a white floral dress, a man in a black shirt and brown shorts, and another man in a striped shirt and gray shorts. A dog with a black and white coat is sitting in front of them, looking towards the camera. The individuals are wearing casual clothing, and the setting appears to be indoors, possibly in a room with a carpeted floor. The mural behind them adds a serene backdrop to the scene. ― The image shows a game board titled "DIAPER PONG" attached to a dark green wall with a tropical mural in the background. The board is yellow and features six diapers arranged in a triangular formation. The top diaper is labeled "5 points," the middle two are labeled "3 points," and the bottom three are labeled "1 point." The diapers are secured to the board with black clips. The board is positioned above a green table tennis net, suggesting the game is played with a ball and a paddle. The text is handwritten in black marker, and the overall setup appears to be part of a playful event or party game. ― The image features a large pretzel-shaped sandwich prominently displayed in a white cardboard box. The sandwich is made with a dark brown, crusty pretzel bun, filled with slices of yellow cheese and green lettuce. The pretzel is placed on a white paper liner within the box. Surrounding the sandwich are various other food items, including a tray of green and pink cookies, a blue container with pastries, and a stack of blue napkins. The setting appears to be a buffet or a gathering, with a wooden table and a chair visible in the background. The overall scene suggests a casual, festive atmosphere with a variety of food options available. ― The image shows a table set with various baked goods, likely for a celebration. In the center, there are two rectangular cakes, one blue and one pink, both decorated with colorful sprinkles and small candies. The blue cake has a shape resembling a letter "T" and the pink cake has the text "Ms. 6" written on it, indicating a possible birthday celebration. Surrounding the cakes are bowls of pastries, including golden-brown puff pastries and chocolate cookies. To the right, there are trays of lemon cookies, green and peach-colored cookies shaped like animals and flowers. A small white daisy is placed on the table, adding a touch of decoration. The table is set against a blue carpeted floor, and a wooden chair is partially visible in the background.

Desde ya, gracias por vuestra generosidad hacia las travas y los travos de mi ciudad, y quien no lo haya hecho ya pero disponga de algún dinero solidario, puede seguir aportando a kotopezzani@gmail.com (PayPal) u ollita.trava (MercadoPago). Consultas a mí, por favor: trataré de resolverlas de un día para otro como mucho. Usuarios/as de otras redes que quieran difundir con vuestras propias palabras el pedido: enlace por favor a mi publicación del sábado, y si les parece conveniente al Instagram de la Ollita Travesti; recuerden que no somos sólo una "olla popular" sino red de ayuda mutua permanente; y observen (esto ya surgió) que somos varones y mujeres trans, no se distraigan por el hecho de que aquí la que pone la cara soy yo.
No, hoy no les trato de miserables. Porque espero lo contrario de ustedes, apelar a vuestra generosidad.
En mi ciudad hay una organización, un grupo informal, que bajo el nombre de Ollita Travesti(empezaron haciendo ollas populares y en ellas insisten) nos brinda ayuda a quienes nos caímos del sistema, y ya el nombre les dice una de las causas de nuestro "fracaso"--pero naturalmente no se nos toma un examen de travestidad, aclaro esto para quienes descreen de la llamada política identitaria.
A mí y a otras/os compañeras/os nos han literalmente salvado la vida. Y yo tengo casa propia, con lo cual lo que necesito es comer y pagar los servicios, pero imagínense quien ha sido echade de su casa, o acaba de salir de la cárcel (es algo que nos pasa a menudo, por este asunto del trabajo sexual, la extorsión policial y en general la existencia precaria).
Esta ayuda mutua, este apañe según lo nombramos, cuesta más dinero del que pueden aportar de su bolsillo las personas que participamos orgánicamente. Solicitamos por lo tanto donaciones en nuestros eventos y hoy yo soy quien las pide, en esta red donde pareciera que una de cada dos personas es trans o de otro modo queer, y el grueso de les usuaries reside en el hemisferio norte... junio es vuestro Mes del Orgullo, ¿verdad? ¿Qué mejor excusa para hacerle un regalo a la gente de mi Transtravalandia sudamericana?
Toda suma que puedan aportar es válida y significa algo para una persona necesitada. Si precisan alguna confirmación para saber que no están promoviendo el narcotráfico o el terrorismo o siquiera mis modestos vicios de alcohólica, escríbanme por cualquiera de los canales listados en mi Linktree y organizamos algo que les brinde seguridad.
Si arriban a una decisión favorable, desde Argentina recibimos dinero por MercadoPago (ollita.trava) y desde el extranjero por PayPal (kotopezzani@gmail.com).
Desde ya, infinitas gracias y quedo a la espera de vuestra pronta respuesta, material, emocional, moral o "social" (como promover esta publicación). Han demostrado en otras ocasiones ser buena gente: sé que no me defraudarán.
"La Ollita es de quien la habita y la construye como puede y con lo que tiene, así que gracias por ser parte de este fuego que la mantiene encendida."
The video features a person wearing a green t-shirt with a yellow design, sitting in a room with wooden cabinets in the background. The individual is holding a brown paper bag to their mouth, as if they are about to take a deep breath or are in the process of doing so. The lighting in the room is warm, and there is a lamp visible in the background. The text overlay at the bottom of the video reads "ME RIGHT NOW," suggesting a humorous or relatable moment. The person's expression and body language convey a sense of urgency or discomfort, which is emphasized by the action of holding the paper bag to their face.
