I am a cishet WM, but firmly believe the core tenets of humanism - that all people have inherent worth and we should work to make the world a better and more inclusive place for all. Live by the true golden rule: don't be a dick.

What color is math when asked to solve for the position function of a body orbiting two other bodies simultaneously?

I saw the story on NBC last night, framed around how ebikes are dangerous. The biggest example they gave was of a child who was STRUCK BY A VEHICLE while riding. Streets need to be made safe for pedestrians and cyclists. I still see new roads being constructed with no thought to people who aren't driving.

1/2 I have deactivated my account on Twitter (X), which began in 2007. Under Elon Musk, Twitter has not only decided to stop blocking bigots and liars and pro-insurrectionists, it has actively welcomed them, with apparent support from Mr. Musk.

I like to tell people just entering photography that you can do almost everything I do with your phone and a small tripod mount. Most new phones allow you to shoot in pro mode and capture raw image files. Then you can either buy a raw editing program or use one of the free options like gimp or darktable. Most of photography is composition, so if you have an eye for what makes a great photo you really don't need to start out with expensive gear.

Wait, so if media collapses the people die by crushing or drowning under the massive weight of the truth?
Alrighty then...
But also, here's your friendly reminder to support your local independent or nonprofit media!

This Supreme Court is not afraid to show who their masters are. This ruling was an obvious gift to corporate developers. So much damage has already been done, and it seems our only hope is to retain the presidency in perpetuity to replace the cons as they die. I've given up hope on Court expansion or reform, that's a pipe dream without 60 votes in the senate or a strong enough majority to get rid of the filibuster.

Shifting baselines is now shorthand for generational amnesia of the natural world. As species decline or die off, our cultural memory of them fades. We might remember the abundance and diversity of our childhood but never imagine the world of our grandparents — or of their ancestors. https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2023/08/29/shifting-baselines-maine-forests/
Why you should tell your children about vanishing fireflies

Accepting climate-related disasters as the new normal will make it harder to restore the environment back to health.
