I’m donating to a small aussie charity who is mapping endangered fauna populations and tracking responses to land use.

(not the san diego zoo ahah)

Cool but in all seriousness try not using amazon and using ethical alternatives if you can afford it.

Nah I doubt it’s that White Supremacist latino dude

Already chose a charity. But cheers. This year I’m aiding aussie wildlife :)

It’s a way chronically ill people talk about energy.

Our bodies tend not to be as resilient as healthy people. So if we do too much (ie. use too many spoons), instead of recovering after a day or two like healthy people would if they did too much, we tend to have our health worsen for long periods.

So the analogy is you have a limited number of “spoons” (energy) each day, and you have to use it wisely.

Obviously, this doesn’t impact every disability and is mostly used by chronically ill people and people with energy limiting conditions.

Disabled and bedridden, can’t volunteer. All I got is the 10-30 USD left over at the end of year from my disability insurance payments and I want to do good in the world.

Saving that little won’t get me anywhere. I’m already poor and in a shitty living situation and that money can’t really help me cuz its too small, so I wanna donate it to something where it can make a difference.

Corporate media is hilarious.

I love how them and the NYT say it’s a “fringe theory” that the writing on the bullets had anything to do with insurance practices.

Taking a wild guess

removed, is related to german Fach, which means “branch, subject (especially used for school/academic subject)”

Wait doesn’t the english “removed” also mean sticks? Perhaps thats linked to the “branch/subject” “Fach/removed” in german/norweigen.

Thought this passage was especially well written

These mislabellings are harmful, not because there is anything shameful about the possibility that someone could be living with a psychological condition. Rather, what is shameful is that women and other people of marginalized gender identities are still treated as unreliable reporters on our own bodies. It is harmful because this gendered misdiagnosis obstructs access to necessary medical care, disincentivizes biomedical research on certain diseases, and even prevents us from seeking support for comorbid mental health symptoms out of concern that doing so could further damage our credibility.

Unpopular opinion: “top talent” is a meaningless capitalistic word to justify crazy wealth disparities

I say this as someone who went to one of the “highest ranked” unis in the world. Most of all this prestige and “top talent” stuff is bullshit designed to keep the rich rich.

Cool. My second option was an australian charity that is running a similar project and their highest salary seems to be 80k USD. So I’ll go with that one.

That’s what I was thinking.

I know america has this elitist managment culture of that values people who “earn their worth” and are “entrepreneurial” or whatever, but that doesn’t ever justify a million dollar salary to me.

Well I’m going to give to another charity obviously.

Because I don’t want half my donation to go towards massive salaries.

Non-profits pay fixed salaries. Instead of having an owner who “profits” all the extra money left over.

I’m not living in america. In my country this really isn’t a thing. Most charities have a sort of “everyone gets the same salary” policy which is usually around the median salary in the country.

This charity was just running a cool project I wanted to donate too. I dont care what the american system is like, no one deserves 1 million a year while there are people starving.

The court’s decision follows dramatic revelations of alleged foreign influence on the contest. Earlier this week, the Romanian government declassified intelligence files that strongly suggested to a Russian-backed campaign to corrupt the election.

The documents said 25,000 pro-Georgescu accounts on social media app TikTok burst into action just two weeks before the first-round vote.

Yep I think the move is harsh. But this is literally happening in every other democracy and they are just pretending it isn’t. Kudos to romania for tackling the issue head-on.

i mean for such a massive propaganda tool, thats a good deal

Giving similar vibes to the FBI sketch of the dude who killed logging CEO’s

Idk maybe not everyone has a first language of english and had english lessons.

Like english is literally my fourth best spoken language. And I’m disabked with cognitive issues.
