Er hat ermittelt, dass die von Männern verursachten Unfälle die Allgemeinheit
 12,6 Milliarden Euro kosten. Erklären lassen sich die Zahlen nicht dadurch, dass Männer mehr Auto fahren. Sie fahren zwar mehr auf Autobahnen, die meisten Unfälle passieren aber auf Landstraßen und innerorts.

River Murray freshwater turtles killed by cars and introduced canines

"The species, known as the vacuum cleaners of the river due to the crucial role they play in protecting the ecosystem, has declined by 91 per cent in 40 years, according to scientific research."

"..Turtles had gone through a "long period of persecution", and were listed as a pest species in the past...There's old newspaper clippings where fishers talk about killing 1,000 turtles in [a number of] months." >>

ABC News · Aboriginal rangers fight to save River Murray's native freshwater turtlesBy Jessica Schremmer

ARE WE REALLY GONNA LET 200,000 PEOPLE ALONE DIE FOR LACK OF #MEDICAL #CARE AND STILL NOT CALL THIS A #GENOCIDE OR MAKE IT FUCKING #STOP?????!!!!

....AND Yes them dying after the fact of being attacked AND INTENTIONALLY WITHHELD CARE BY THE SAME ATTACKERS IS #GENOCIDAL #MURDER!!!!

...we know the murder numbers are higher than skewed, but we know we can ADD #200000 MORE IF WE DONT END THIS NOW!!! 🚑 🚨 🇵🇸

For everyone in the world outside the US starting up the isolation process...remember how well that worked in the 1930's. It left tens of millions to die, turning back refugees sent them to their deaths, and fascism still came for their countries anyway. Isolation & abandonment is not a great policy. The world is even more globalized now than it was 100 years ago. The faster we realize we can rise or fall together, the better off everyone will be.

Politics can be complicated, but empathy is not. Empathy demands that we look at what is going on in all oppressed nations and peoples, and bear witness. And no one with empathy can then refuse to help. This is why empathy is being made to be the enemy. This is why individualism is being touted.

So. Let's all climb out of this pit now, and together, as the people of the Earth.

Q. how to solve the carers' overpayments crisis?

A. do the checks on earning quicker so overpayment 'debts' do not accrue to the levels they have in the past?

That's the DWP's (technocratic) answer.

A better answer might be to respect carers, recognise that unless they have a pension they have to work to supplement it & remove this threshold altogether.

Once people are providing care, lets just pay them & not penalise them for juggling their incomes!

The Guardian · DWP to overhaul carer’s allowance checks after overpayment scandalBy Patrick Butler

The interaction between the NHS & the care system is so difficult to navigate that its harming carers & those who need care; its exhausting carers (who often have to retell their medical histories again & again) to the point of burnout.

Although as yet only partly exposed to this (as the primary carer for my wife) I have already experienced the exhaustion of constantly having to go back to square one to explain to a new specialist what is going on....

Coucou Mastodon,

Australia is in an extinction crisis – why isn’t it an issue at this election?

"Over the past decade, more than 550 Australian species have been either newly recognised as at risk of extinction or moved a step closer to being erased from the planet."

"Analysis shows 1,964,200 hectares of koala habitat was cleared between 2012 and 2021 – 81% of that in Queensland."

"Australia tops global rankings for mammal extinction – at least 33 species have died out since European invasion and colonisation – and is number two behind Indonesia for loss of biodiversity. The challenge is not only to stop the loss of habitat but to restore the environment in places it has been lost in 250 years of European-driven clearing."

The Guardian · Australia is in an extinction crisis – why isn’t it an issue at this election?By Adam Morton
Continued thread

But Russian anarchist and scientist Pëtr Kropotkin had a different idea. After years observing wildlife in Siberia, he argued that mutual aid—not competition—is what ensures survival, resilience, and evolution.

This post kicks off my mutual aid series, exploring how solidarity and reciprocity can help us build equitable, sustainable communities outside capitalist logic.

In the last 10 years the number of people in the over-65 age group has risen by 20%, while the number of care home beds has risen by less than 3%.

The former figure is a testament to rising life expectancy & better health care, the latter figure is the context in which there is a crisis in the availability of place if care homes (driving up prices & locking many unpaid carers into care for relatives, while being kicked by the DWP).

We need a solution for everyone's sake!

📙 Mercredi 26 mars 2025 rencontre avec Floriane Chinsky à l’occasion de la sortie de son livre "En finir avec les idées fausses sur le judaïsme, les Juives et les Juifs"

-------------------------------<---------------

Alors que les actes et propos antisémites ne faiblissent pas en France, ce livre vient tordre le cou aux préjugés à l’encontre des juifs.

Il présente sous la forme d’une quarantaine d’idées fausses décortiquées un propos extrêmement fécond sur la judéité et le judaïsme.

Une opportunité rare de se questionner – croyant ou non, juif ou pas – sur son rapport à l’autre, à la spiritualité ; que l’on soit dans sa cage d’escalier, dans un diner de famille ou dans une recherche personnelle plus avancée.

Je souhaite qu'il contribue à un souffle de dialogue, de sororité, d'engagement réel pour le courage de la paix.
❤️😁✊
