A friend of mine is watching LOTR for the first time (I know, I know!), so I'm sending him all the memes because he finally has context for them. Drop your favorite below?
We have hard data showing when trans kids are affirmed & allowed to explore their gender identity, they have similar outcomes to the rest of the population when it comes to mental health. Like, it just works, we know this, we have proof. Being a trans kid doesn't have to be any harder than being cis

hey #ChronicIllness sky, why do my palms keep feeling like I've scraped them raw on pavement or something? there's no scratches on my hands but the skin feels raw / abraded. is this a #fibromyalgia thing?
Wins matter, not only because they build movements, but they also let us know what works!
Massive investment in renewable energy is a national security imperative. We must not be held hostage by American petropolitics.
Aha! A mystery solved! Paper: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41671482/

Image of paper title, authors, and journal with the QR code and photo of Jaime Seltzer (white woman with long curly hair wearing glasses, green shirt, and black blazer.)

"A team of researchers at Stanford University found that frontier AI models readily generated 'detailed image descriptions and elaborate reasoning traces, including pathology-biased clinical findings, for images never provided.'"
I just got set up to manage audiobooks remotely for one of my niblings who is in Grade 2. I can’t go visit my siblings’ kids, so this will be a fun way to be involved!
I have very few cognitive spoons to manage books for my kids and this new system is making it harder.
I find the new TPL system annoying
1) I don’t want to see my digital holds in the same list as my physical holds, that is overwhelming and annoying
2) I want to be able to make a hold and then just suspend it without needing to set a specific date to unsuspend it by
Someone should make an app that you can run when on screens or reading that has an alarm (soft noise) that goes off every 20 min for 20 seconds to remind you to look 20 feet away and stretch your eyes.

plums cry “save us”
“we’re for breakfast”
“please don’t take us”

Literally an evergreen statement.
"Why doesn't the prime minister just say the truth and tell Indigenous peoples that he doesn't give a fuck about their rights?"
Can we please declare September 25th Romeo Saganash Day to celebrate when he dropped an F-bomb in Parliament?
Doesn't matter who is PM now, his statements remain true.

In honor of Earth Day: a thread of environmental wins
We can do things if we try. We helped the ozone layer, cleaned rivers, made our air breathable again.
Just a week ago people were crying with joy because we went to space again, talking about humanity coming together.
Climate change? WE CAN DO THAT. We CAN.
We just need the will. Let's go.
The first epidemic of the 1918 flu in the United States occurred at the military’s Camp Funston, Kansas (later Fort Riley).
Infected soldiers headed to WWI battlefields carried the flu to Europe. Millions died
It’s not *vaccination* that weakens force readiness.
A lot of the confusion here (for a lot of people) is that alt text isn't really meant to be an image description. It's meant to be a text replacement for an image.
Sometimes, rarely, what's needed is an in-depth description. But usually it should be much shorter and to-the-point.
Yeah, I'm real tired of this narrative that disabled people "enjoyed" lockdown. Lockdown sucked. It just sucked less than dying of COVID, a thing the abled world doesn't care about anymore.

Sure, Doug.
