I'm still floored by the fact that my company offers employee discounts of 50% off retail prices and yet it's still cheaper for me to go with the competition.

Ten Years After the Flint Water Crisis, Distrust and Anger Linger — ProPublica

Playing with flame #fractals is a perennial joy (and also confusing as hell, as all the tools I've tried over the years are great for exploring ideas in an open ended fashion but I've never found a really linear/'predictable' approach to using them, regardless of how much fun it is, it still feels a lot like video game "button-mashing".) #art

U.S.-supplied weapons provided to the government of Israel have been used in serious violations of international humanitarian and human rights law, and in a manner that is inconsistent with U.S. law and policy, according to Amnesty International USA. The organization demands an immediate suspension in the transfer of arms to the government of #Israel .

Peter Singer: We are gambling with the future of our planet for the sake of hamburgers – Palm Oil Detectives

Peter Singer, Princeton University I wasn’t aware of climate change until the 1980s — hardly anyone was — and even when we recognised the dire threat that burning fossil fuels posed, it took time for the role of animal production in warming the planet to be understood. Today, though, the fact that eating plants will reduce your greenhouse gas emissions is one of…

On Friday, a coalition of 88 Democratic members wrote to the White House, arguing that #Israel ’s “restrictions on US-backed humanitarian aid efforts have contributed to an unprecedented humanitarian disaster for Palestinian civilians and to credible reports of famine in parts of #Gaza .”

Tesla ‘loses $57 billion' as stock drops following ‘unlucky' figure's praise of Elon Musk

I just shared a post from my #Pixelfed with a question about eye contact pictures/selfies.

I'll make a poll here too, so I can hopefully get a better idea of what is best to do in this situation.

As I stated in the Pixelfed post https://pixelfed.social/p/PixysSnaps/692183243150831174
I wonder if I should keep using CW/sensitive warnings on my pictures wiry eye contact.

I learned that it is preferred by some. But since I started using the CW on picture like selfies... I noticed a drop in interactions with those images... So I wonder if it is really helping people if I use the warnings or of it spooks people off on some way.

All my pictures show up blurred in my time line as well, so it's harder to see which picture is what. And it takes a wee bit of extra effort to add the CW. So yeah, I do wonder if it is worth it/necessary.

Please let me know in the poll! Please share the poll for more answers/better results.

I want to do what's best so everyone can enjoy my snaps in a relaxing way. 😊
