You’ll probably have seen the shocking North Atlantic sea surface temperature anomaly plot that EliotJacobson@twitter.com published a few days ago, showing the unprecedented warming 📈
To show that this isn’t just a regional phenomenon, here’s a plot of the worldwide average daily sea surface temperature for the first half of each year from 1981–2023 🌡️
Look at the clear space between 2023 & any previous years 🔎
Good grief 😬

Hi folks,
Sorry for being away for so long. It's been a really rough month.
But, here's a thread from yesterday about #ExcessMortality during #COVID19 in #Canada .
The #Canadian #COVIDForecast will be posted shortly on Twitter (it's already live on our website).
Excess mortality thread with links to our Excess Mortality Tracker and weekly Canadian COVID report: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1642177039514861568.html
RT @MoriartyLab
My colleagues, the emperor has no clothes.
Nearly 30% excess mortality in Canada's fastest reporting provinces as of Dec 31/22
Dec 25/22: Germany 47%, France 31%, UK 25%
It almost doesn't matter anymore what you think is the cause...please speak, please act.
Pennsylvania released a new website with information for patients seeking abortion care. Notably it reaffirms that "out-of-state patients seeking abortion care in PA can do so without fear of being arrested or detained at the request of another state."

I’m looking for an experienced #SoundDesign peep to create a soundtrack for a Film I made for the #IWM Imperial War Museum Duxford. The film was projected onto a huge aircraft hanger, and told the story of the formation of the parachute regiment, & its part in the opening hours of DDay.
It's being rehoused inside the main exhibition, and needs a narrated soundtrack, as well as SFX to accompany the action.

Here's the Film:

This, this, this. EVERY pregnancy is a risk to that person’s life, and no one should be forced to disclose the most personal of personal information in order to try and convince the state that they should be allowed to have full legal autonomy over their bodies. Abortion choice is the pro-life position and we nee to take that term back from the forced-birth activists / religious extremists.
These hashtags are one of the many ways in which Indigenous peoples have been raising awareness about the epidemic of extreme violence against their women and girls.
Please help us spread awareness

Polite reminder, mastodon users with visual impairments went to a lot of trouble getting people to use the alternative text description facility on image uploads. Spending energy over the past 5 years reminding people in the kindest ways to caption images. Please lets not lose that ethos. There are so many photos without alternative text captions now. It isn't difficult to do, and only takes a little effort to develop the habit. #image #Caption
Leonard Cohen looming large over central #Montreal. Johnny Cash looking over central #Sacramento (not far down the road from Folsom Prison). Some folks don’t like these, but I do, for their role in place-making and urban story-telling.
Plus they address a really big, boring blank wall.

results from the world's largest 4-day workweek trial are in: 91% of companies involved will continue with the model. Orgs that are focused on butts in seats and hours clocked, rather than being output-driven, will increasingly find themselves struggling for people and being left behind by competitors. https://www.4dayweek.com/news-posts/4-day-week-uk-results
