‘#Inhumane’ #migration #bill putting #LGBTQ+ #people #atrisk as #PoliticalAsylum claims soar.
The #UK #government should create a #compassionate #asylum #system for #LGBTQ+ #people instead of clinging to the #inhumane #IllegalMigrationAct, an #activist has said.

A new look at decades of data from #MuseumCollections & #surveys of #LeafLitter #ants in #Florida #reveals a steady #decline in #NativeAnts , #simultaneous #increase in #nonNative ants—even in #protected natural areas of the state, researchers report.
#Reported in the journal Current #Biology , the findings point to a potential future devoid of native ants, the #researchers said.

#TopicTuesday Long Read: Disability Inclusion within Brimbank.
My first question raided at this months council meeting was as follows:
“Brimbank's 2022-2026 Disability Action Plan was released around 4 months ago, yet there is no reference to Neurodivergent people (other than reference to a symbol identifier), let alone any planning to ensure their inclusion in our community. Neurodivergent people should not need to wait until 2026 before their barriers to inclusion in Brimbank events will be considered, so what action is Brimbank City Council taking, to ensure their inclusion is possible at council run events?”

Of an estimated seven thousand #languages spoken in the world today, about 40% are #AtRisk of going #extinct .
It has been evaluated that in just the last few hundred years, thousands of languages have #vanished with half of all present languages #projected to #disappear by the end of this century. A different tongue has been found to be wiped out every two weeks with the biggest #culprit being #economic #development .

Former #WHL player Norm Flynn started HEROS — the #Hockey #Education #ReachingOut #Society — more than two decades ago, to help #empower #marginalized & #AtRisk #youth on & off the ice.
“We started 36 boys & girls on the ice in the downtown Eastside of #Vancouver ” Norm explains. “Fast forward 23 years later, we’ve worked with over 17,000 boys and girls, and we have 29 programs in 13 cities in #Canada .”

I'm trying to wrap my mind around the possibility that I'll never eat in a restaurant again 😢 Damn, that was one of life's pleasures. No cinema. No street festivals.

The controversial development plan for the Barbican border,
London Wall West, hasn’t gone away
Bastion House, so reminiscent of the revered Seagram Building in New York by Mies van der Rohe, is to be demolished along with the white-tiled Museum of London and the rotunda in the junction of London Wall at Aldersgate Street.
And the demolition could begin very soon…

@maybeabattist @ch_Nahon: Still feel some urge to want one 😇 despite I'd rather prefer something like that #foldable n·ICE #cargobike with lower loading bay which came up in that discussion later on:
https://chaos.social/@xtaran/109530676524932415
But then again: Do I really need a #cargobike? For grocery shopping the #Brompton fully suffices. And for beverage crates, the Croozer Cargo suffices. And now with the pandemic (#CovidIsNotOver) and me being an #atrisk group member, I mostly use delivery services anyway. 😒
Est-ce que quelqu'un sait si le contenu de #TricTrac va être libéré ? La base de données de jeux pourrait devenir un projet communautaire.

Okay kids. Here are the rules:
If you’re feeling under the weather and you have the option to work from home, then:
Stay. The. Fuck. Home.
Today I’ve spent the day in the office with no less than two people who both said they were a little unwell. Both were adamant that it couldn’t be #Covid. Both tested positive for #Covid19 this evening.
And to tell you the truth with asthma and only 50% lung function it’s making me somewhat anxious. Being #AtRisk sucks.
📄 ‘A Framework for Unifying #AtRisk #UserResearch’ … that can be used to provide a structure for researchers and technology creators to scalably and more comprehensively ensure that everyone—including at-risk users—can engage safely online.
Artist At Risk (AR), a mondial institution dedicated to art practitioners at risk (www.artistsatrisk.org) has a vacancy for a VIDEO (not film) artist for a generous year-long residency in Barcelona. Please note that the program is really geared towards artists from at-risk situations...
