Horrível mesmo. Mas como eu faço pra boicotar quando a minha universidade (como tantas outras) adotou a porcaria do Google como serviço e o Gmail como conta institucional?

A gente precisa começar a discutir respostas ao feudalismo digital (é disso que se trata, o nome “big tech” não sei transmite o tamanho do problema) para além de ações individuais

The cervical screening test, or 'pap smear' was developed thanks to a lab technician called Mary Papanicolaou, who had a vaginal swab taken every day for 20 years to advance research in this area.

"Industrial Farming Has Killed Billions of Birds"

🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬
_________________________________

Worldwide, 49% of all wild bird species are in steep decline.

BirdLife International’s authoritative report, State of the World’s Birds 2022, estimates that there are now nearly three billion fewer wild birds in Canada and the U.S. than a few decades ago, and about 600 million fewer in the European Union.

The single biggest cause of bird declines is chemical-intensive farming. Some birds are killed by pesticides or herbicides, but the most important impacts are loss of food, especially insects and other invertebrates that most bird species depend on, and the spread of fertilizer-intensive monocultures that eliminate shelter and nesting areas. Insect-eating populations declined more than any others.

In short, the collapse of farmland bird populations is closely related to the Insect Apocalypse in the Anthropocene. The mass slaughter of insects is killing masses of birds.

Hello, I'm here to seek out a community of other #Disabled people and accomplices.

I'm working to build a non-profit tool to make alt text easier, and I want to connect with folks who can help guide that project toward a useful start.

I've built a proof of concept, but getting it further will take building community. I'm #Autistic, and networking does not come easy to me. Boosting this is an immense help.
