unpopular opinion, but changing the lyrics to O Canada is weird? like this isn't a summer camp song? didn't they get all up in their feelings and do LEGISLATION over making it gender neutral? I don't even like this country, and yet I feel that's kind of sacred and shouldn't be messed with

USAID’s waiver for 'life-saving' aid got headlines. But funds still aren’t reaching the people who need them. "Even programs with waivers are still frozen, according to people in more than 40 USAID-funded groups, bc the payments system used to disburse funds to orgs has not operated for weeks." 1/2

“I knew someone on AA5432.” That was the subject of an email NPR host Adrian Ma sent to newsroom leaders in the hours after the DC plane crash. He trusted us with sharing his story — and her contagious energy. www.npr.org/2025/02/20/g...

We need to speak out against trad mom influencers, call them out for lying and for promoting an imaginary lifestyle as if it's desirable or possible to achieve. I think they are an insidious curse on our culture not kidding

I cannot emphasize enough that the New York City subway is not scary. It’s one of my favorite parts of living here. I grew up in the suburbs having to drive on highways everywhere and that’s way scarier

Anyway, just a reminder to working moms that the people who are telling you that you’re sending your kids to toddler prison at daycare or whatever and saying they have 10 kids they manage solo are often just lonely liars who hate women

RFK Jr. thinks that a clinical trial should be done for the entire childhood vaccine schedule. Here’s why that will never happen. 1. You can’t do a randomized trial of something that we already know is safe and effective. There would have to be a placebo group that didn’t get vaxxed. Unethical.

Small tip for adding alt text to images: if you're on a Pixel (and probably most Android) phone(s), you can long press the Home gesture area to pull up an overlay that lets you select text from the screenshot, without leaving Bluesky. Makes copying alt text super quick. (Just double check it!)

I block for AI. Cover, text, social media posts, emails: if I spot it, I block.

I’m seeing a lot of soft takes from industry mutuals at the moment that we shouldn’t be so hard on those who use generative AI because it’s becoming harder and harder to resist. Wrong. Betraying your ethics (and your peers) because ‘everyone else is doing it’ does not suddenly make it acceptable.
