TIL learned a fun fact
the vast, vast majority of microplastics aren't actually from breaking down single-use plastics like I thought, but from car tires. Car tires, simply by being worn down while driving, emit more microplastics than anything by far

We can all thank the anti-intellectuals and anti-vaxxers for the maimed and dead children, the resurgence in bested afflictions, and the massive quantity of general human suffering that is going to arise as this continues.
I hope they'll just stay home when they get sick. Selfish monsters.

Measles cases are skyrocketing globally, as experts warn Canada is approaching a 'tipping point.' How did we get here?
More than 42,000 measles cases have been recorded across Europe in recent weeks. Canada could be vulnerable as vaccination rates decline, experts say.

It enrages me that a monster like that gets to spew their views and hatred, which emboldens others to act on its behalf.

Ok since a lot of you don't seem to get it:
"Platforming" has very little to do with follower counts or views
What it has everything to do with is who is invited to the table to give their opinions (and who isn't)
No one should be asking Chaya Raichik's opinion on anything

It's hard to keep an uplifting mindset, but it's important to have.
We'll get there.
As we get closer more will feel emboldened to lend their shoulders to the shifting, and what was a terrible and agonizing crawl will become a full out sprint into something far greater.

The world could be different/better but some days, most days, it's such a heavy boulder to shift.

Wtf? Disgusting move.
Disgusting beyond measure. It is incredibly disappointing that hate and exclusivity are still the watchwords in so many places, though there is some consolation in the vote having been neck in neck.
Ultimately an abhorrent move, and one I think worthy of protest.

It disgusts me that we still live in a time where we need to commit new victims of hate to memory instead of just recalling those that suffered before.
This was a putrid and revolting act and those responsible need to be held accountable, including those beyond the murderers themselves.
