they’ll figure it out if they get hungry enough

There's A LOT of discussion about content moderation right now and very little of it touches on the fact that we've all lived on the big social sites for the last decade-plus thanks to the massively exploitated labor of mostly-invisible moderation workers. The social web at scale wouldn't have happened without these laborers, who in addition to shit wages, have been exposed to literally every imaginable horror.

If we're remaking this world, let's do better on that front.

But we're most concerned about how the voter ID rules in the Act could specifically disenfranchise young people.

Approved voter IDs:
✔️Older Person’s Bus Pass
✔️60+ Oyster Card
❌18+ Oyster Card
❌16-25 Railcard

Generational gerrymandering?

If any UK folks are looking to get their #FluVaccine I walked into Boots today and was given it for free after I explained I've been eligible in the past but not heard anything this year. No proof asked for, just an explanation of my eligibility, and no wait or appointment needed (altho that would depend on the branch/availability I assume). #FreeFluVaccination #NHS #ThanksNHS #ProtectOurNHS

Hey look, it's me!

For the last 12 years the Jåhkågaska Sami community has been defending its grazing lands by resisting this iron-ore mine. By doing so they have been safeguarding what keeps us all safe: biodiverse forests, intact carbon stock, clean water and air.

My latest Guardian story - a think tank which gets tax breaks as a charity, but has been spreading unscientific climate scepticism, is being probed by the Charity Commission https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/nov/21/charity-commission-reviews-complaint-against-climate-sceptic-thinktank

Keir Starmer is blaming migrant workers here for low paid work

The reality is that the best solution is a £15 minimum wage & strong Trade Unions - not closing the door to migrants https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-63707941

NEW: We are pleased that following our legal intervention the Charity Commission has agreed to investigate the sinister Global Warming Policy Foundation.

Public funds should never be used to subsidise lobbying by those who deny or minimise climate change. https://glplive.org/gwpf-211122-tw

We biology geeks may sound elitist when we use scientific names instead of common names, but we're really just trying to avoid this:

Some of the thinking behind this cartoon, plus info on reuse, etc: https://davewalker.com/two-abreast/

The Large Blue became extinct in Britain in 1979. Its unusual relationship with red ants was an important factor in both its decline & successful reintroduction.

To infiltrate an ants' nest, the caterpillar must very accurately mimic the smell of the ants. Each ant species has a unique scent, so the caterpillar's disguise is specific to just one species: Myrmica sabuleti. If it ends up in the wrong ants' nest, its cover will be blown! 🥸 👀
