Amazing!! Women Help Women (womenhelp.org) is manufacturing their own abortion pills in order to make abortion safer, simpler and more accessible across borders. They designed an eco-friendly combi-pack that's easier to mail discreetly and centred around women’s experiences and needs.

We asked U.S. adults (~1k, representative) about their level of acceptability to standard animal agriculture practices, such as extreme confinement & painful mutilations. Unsurprisingly, most people don't approve 👇. Check out the full @faunalytics.bsky.social study: faunalytics.org/public-accep...

This #UHCDay, we’re underscoring a simple truth: universal, equitable health care requires #SRH services. Fully meeting all SRH needs would cost $15.56 per person annually, and every $1 invested in contraception saves $2.48 in related care. Read more: https://gu.tt/4qVHXfc

“Dutch people cycle an average of 2.6km each per day. If this pattern was replicated worldwide, annual carbon emissions would drop by 686 million tonnes.

This mammoth figure exceeds the entire carbon footprint of most countries, including the UK, Canada, Saudi Arabia and Australia.” @euronews.com
Cycling like the Dutch would slash the world’s carbon footprint
If everybody cycled like the Dutch, we could offset the UK or Australia’s entire carbon footprint.

McKibben’s point is directionally right, even if simplified. Fossil fuels dominate global shipping ton-miles. Electrification + renewables don’t just cut CO₂ — they collapse fuel logistics chains. Energy becomes local. Trade shifts, ships don’t vanish — but power does.⚡ #disruption #EnergyTransition

Q: Is an (ACA)extension with abortion restrictions better than no extension at all

#AOC: “An extension with abortion

“Hell is here” isn’t a metaphor.

It is a daily reality for millions of nonhuman lives and increasingly for human ones.

Honesty doesn’t cause collapse.

It simply names the collapse we were born into.
We are told things are getting better. They aren’t.
“Hell Is Here” is what the world looks like when greenwashing replaces truth.

@kennytorrella.bsky.social is the only one covering this very important story!

I know Americans really like to eat meat but allowing the meat industry to contribute to the ruin of miracle antibiotics really strikes me as an irrational trade.
At the end of each year, FDA releases data on antibiotics sold for use in livestock.

It usually changes a few %. This year, it went up 15.8%.

I was shocked & emailed experts/industry groups. Likeliest explanation per a source: industry is not "being good stewards of antibiotics"
