Consider taking a Vitamin D supplement *now*; it may reduce severity of COVID-19 if you do become infected. We don't get enough Vitamin D in Ireland full stop, and @tilda_tcd latest research shows only 4% of Irish men and 15% of women take a Vitamin D supplement.

I wrote about @NPR 's decision to frame disabled people's ongoing exclusion from all public spaces as an annoyance to be navigated by individuals, rather than a massive civil rights violation to be challenged by the collective.

⚠️HOLY SMOKES—A famous whistleblower against @Boeing on safety issues, has just been suddenly found dead in his truck in his hotel parking lot—all while **testifying in the middle of his week of depositions** against Boeing. JFC. Many of John Barnett’s claims about dangerous Boeing practices have already been verified by the FAA. If we don’t hold accountability for his death, whistleblowers won’t come forward in the future—which would endanger publicly health & safety.

The climate crisis is spiraling out of control. 1000s of fish are washing up dead in the Gulf of Mexico because the water is too hot to hold oxygen. This is a climate emergency.

"NGOs have tamed a generation of activists.

They’ve given up grand visions of social change & mass recruitment in favor of writing grants & wooing foundations; ceded control of the movement to executives in boardrooms..." @incitenews

What is the "NGO-isation" of resistance?

It's quite something that the world's top scientists put out a synthesis report that essentially says civilization as we know it will end unless the world comes together to stop rapidly expanding the fossil fuel industry but to instead rapidly end it, and almost no one cares

🚨 Urgent: as we speak, the 'Margiris' - a 136m long giant trawler - is devastating marine animals and Irish waters aided by the complete silence of authorities.

This large-scale massacre of life must be stopped URGENTLY.

Hello hello 👋 #IWD2023 is nearly here, and so are companies' cut-and-paste platitudes. And once again we're bringing you the data to see whose support for #InternationalWomensDay is genuine, and who's still got work to do.

Here's a reminder of how it works ⬇️ (1/8)

How to live a good life?

Universal Basic Income #UBI would allow everyone to have 'Ikigai' - Japanese for 'reason for living' - not just focusing on a paying job.

Because western culture has a fetishised paid employment as the only meaningful use of your time

Consultancies know less than they claim, cost more than they seem to, and — over the long term — prevent the public sector developing in-house capabilities.
