🚨 ICE disappeared a woman on Wednesday night. She was grabbed by men in plainclothes and taken to an unidentified location.
ICE is refusing to say where she is being held. It’s 72 hours later and not even a dedicated team of lawyers can find her.
This is WRONG. We can’t let this be the new norm.

I'm currently reading through that New York Times article about ADHD, and I think I'm gonna live post some of my thoughts along the way.
But first, my standpoint: I have a Master's of Psychology, and degree in Developmental psychology, work as an ADHD coach, and have ADHD myself

Hi, I'm @mek.fyi and for 9 years I've run the @openlibrary.org at @archive.org, where 11M patrons world-wide rely on us to preserve society's library books, many which can't be accessed elsewhere. 🎲 Markets, politics, employment could change: I pledge to keep Aaron Swartz's Open Library OPEN 📖. Why?

Are you Canadian & live in a riding that's likely to go Con despite your best efforts & vote?
Any Canadian can donate to Bruce Fanjoy's campaign via the Carleton Liberal Riding Assoc'n - he's running vs Pierre Poilievre in Carleton (near Ottawa) & he has a fighting chance.

In this election I’m not running against Conservatives, New Democrats, or Greens. I’m running for Canada against Pierre Poilievre. We can do this, but we need to do it together.

I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped
I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky

Does anyone have a contact for Ann ? Would love to discuss with her the possibility of partnering with her to publish her cartoons exclusively on @bluesky
Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public.
He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.
Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

There will be a period during which H5N1 will spread silently before it erupts.
We will, of course, be unaware of this while it is happening.
By the time we realize what is occurring it will be too late.

Few people even know about this; when people are asked in surveys how child mortality has changed the majority says it has stagnated or increased.
If you consider that many don't know about humanity's biggest achievement, then it's not surprising that many are so pessimistic about our future.

Next October Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan–ATLAS) is still predicted to be a 'bright' naked eye comet. Probably best view in Northern Hemisphere during the evenings looking west. Could prove to be one of the astronomical highlights of 2024. 🔭 🧪
