I'm boring, don't follow me. Profile picture was from Monkey Island (3, Curse of).I keep thinking about changing it back but migrants continue to be dehumanised

What y'all still doing here?? I've got blue sky codes. HMU

[zara_p (parody) @zara_p]

I am again coming here to offer invite codes to the alternative app

[zara_p (parody) @zara_p]

@dominicsayers I only have one code for now. If you still want one in a couple of weeks you can have my next one

[zara_p (parody) @zara_p]

I have a code for the Twitter alternative everybody talks about which is blue. Does anybody want it?

@thatreviewplace Their delay has cost a lot. The fire in Hawaii is just the most recent. 1 in 7 Pakistanis were affected by the massive flood last year. So the world pays, while they earned/continue to earn significant profits. Source: https://t.co/dxwBKPtvUf

@thatreviewplace I would call them greedy because they knew about climate change in the 70s, based their own internal strategies around it, but publicly continued denying/questioning the science in order to continue making profits. If they hadn't, we could've addressed climate change much sooner

Great. Wonderful. Malaysia get ready.

🏭AIR POLLUTION FROM MULTIPLE EMISSION SOURCES IS LINKED WITH RISK OF DEVELOPING DEMENTIA

💡Study finds reducing exposure to airborne particulates may decrease dementia risk.

Higher rates of new cases of dementia in a population over time - known as incident dementia - are linked to long-term exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) air pollution, especially from agriculture and open fires, according to a study published in JAMA Internal Medicine.

University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, scientists used data from 27,857 adults aged 50 years and older enrolled in the Health and Retirement Study (HRS), a nationally representative cohort of older adults in the United States. Beginning in 1992, participants have been interviewed once every two years about many factors related to healthy aging, including their cognition, overall health, and health behaviors.

The research team also gathered air quality measurements from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency; several other studies; and more than 300 geographic variables such as nearby transportation, land cover and use, population density, emission sources, and vegetation. This information was applied to a prediction model to estimate total PM2.5 at participants' residential addresses. The model multiplied total PM2.5 concentration at individual addresses by local fractions of PM2.5 attributable to each of nine emission sources: agriculture, road traffic, non-road traffic, coal combustion for energy production, other energy production, coal combustion for industry, other industry, open fires, and windblown dust.

➡️The findings showed 4,105 participants (15%) developed dementia during the follow-up period. While agriculture and open fires had the strongest air pollution-dementia associations, road traffic, non-road traffic, and coal combustion for energy production and industry were also associated with incident dementia.

The @NIH-funded study advances the scientific literature by examining associations of incident dementia with PM2.5 from key emission sources rather than just total PM2.5. The findings suggest interventions that reduce air pollution may decrease the lifelong risk of developing dementia.

⏰ THE DATE IS SET!

On 27 September 2023, Europe’s highest court will hear our case as we bring legal action against 32 European governments.

There has never been a case in the world involving so many defendant States.

@surayaror My parents helped my older sisters buy a house. In turn, they had to let me have a room rent free when I was studying my master's. Apart from that... My parents have never differentiated how they treat us financially.

@serenaadam93 Right. We are the 7th wettest country in the world with regards to rainfall. Groundwater shouldn't ever have to be touched.

These are some horrible decisions to have to make. And we, as a global society, will have to continue making more and more of these. #climatechange Thanks @Shell @exxonmobil

The @SaladAtelier "Popping kale salad"... @GrabMY picture Vs reality. I had to lift the fruit with a fork otherwise it was mostly covered by salad dressing. No pomegranate, btw, despite it being mentioned in the description

[zara_p (parody) @zara_p]

Apparently we're getting an enforced update to @Zoom soon. I really really really hope it has individual volume controls. You know. Something Discord has had for...ever?

@nonbinarystarz :( the vinegar soak isn't a bad idea either.

[zara_p (parody) @zara_p]

@nonbinarystarz Do you take it out right after and hang it in the sun? Some materials are just more prone to smelling than others. Others you can leave over night and they'll be fine

[Paul Mainwood @PaulMainwood]

Well there’s a chart and a half.

[zara_p (parody) @zara_p]

Bluesky is slow. So I understand why it's in beta. So until more of you are able to get on there, I'll be checking in on here. Retweets and replies will probably still happen.

[zara_p (parody) @zara_p]

I am https://t.co/7OyPqw6un2 on Blue Sky. Most of my thoughts will be on there from now on. Thank you to @nonbinarystarz for my invite! We get one every two weeks so let me know if you want one. If you have any to give out I know @__sha___ desperately wants one.
