I feel like this Masto post will be evidence in yet another claim against Air Canada for wrecking someone’s mobility aid.

Attached: 1 image Sitting on the tarmac for an Air Canada flight from Toronto to Ottawa… The ground crew spent 2 hrs trying to fit a wheelchair into the cargo. After a very long time, they took it off the plane - but appeared to have detached the battery and maybe broken it. 😱 There were maybe 7-10 people out there trying to fix it. I feel for the owner of that chair! #accessibility #aircanada

A U.S. judge has temporarily blocked President Donald Trump's administration from stripping 19 mostly Democratic-led states and Washington, D.C., of food stamp benefits funding unless the states hand over data on millions of people who receive them.
U.S. District Judge Maxine Chesney in San Francisco said in a ruling late Thursday
that the states were likely correct that a federal law requiring them to safeguard information obtained from food stamp recipients bars them from d…

Insects on the space menu
Long before humans reached orbit, insects had already shown they could handle the hurdles of spaceflight. Light, highly adaptable and nutritionally rich, these resilient animals present an attractive option for European researchers studying reliable food sources for long-duration missions.

Noël: une fabuleuse occasion pour enfin faire connaissance avec la fast-déco, prendre conscience de ces impacts,
ou pester qu'elle ait été exclue du récent débat public sur la fast-fashion.
Le cynisme débonnaire de ces grandes enseignes (françaises comme étrangères) me révulse: extractivisme, pollution plastique, dégâts sociaux...
La fast-déco n'a rien Š envier Š sa copine toxique la fast-fashion.
Ouais, parlons-en de la fast-déco.
Parlons-en beaucoup.

Surconsommation : à l’approche de Noël, la fast-déco fout les boules
Nombreux sont les Français à se ruer dans les magasins à la recherche de produits à bas coût. S’ils sont pourtant fabriqués pour la plupart en Asie, des centaines de millions d’objets d’intérieur sont vendus chaque année.

A cacophony of colors, textures, temperatures and climate zones
(That rubble actually is a tiny section of the side moraine of a glacier, with a several hundred meters drop down to the ice flow directly behind and its vast carved out valley opening up...

Snow dusted cliffs rising up on either side in mid distance. Bright blue sky.

2/2 Reflection on #citizenship:
I do not treat the concept of “#democracy" lightly. I was born into the aftermath of centuries of totalitarian oppression that ended suddenly, leaving the nascent Ukrainian state of the late 90s and early 2000s floundering in the turbulent whirlpool of hopes and fears felt by millions of people who were finally allowed to ponder: how to build a free democratic state in the place of Soviet and imperial ruins?
I was taught the words "democracy", "citizen", "freedom", "voting", “liberty" (and more) by people who, less than two decades prior, weren't allowed to leave the borders of their country. I was told about self-determination by people whose political choices were ridiculed, punished, and eviscerated form most of their lives. The duty of governing ourselves felt to us ephemeral - a nice fantasy, akin to a fairytale or a utopia from fictional works.
And then I saw those same people fight with their bodies and souls once the previously unfathomable democracy was threatened. Protests in 2004, then again in 2014, then the unthinkable war against foreign invasion in 2022. Democracy no longer felt abstract or silly. It became as tangible as saying "I love you".
I write of Ukraine as I reflect on becoming a citizen of another country because the history and values of my adopted United States feel as real as the skin on my legs, the significance of its legacy lays as heavy as the weight of my waist-long hair, and the desire to uphold the freedoms of its Constitution burns my throat as harshly as dehydration after a long day in the sun.
People have asked me why I even want to join this country, when the present moment is shrouded in impenetrable darkness. And I answer: because I've felt the warmth of a newly lit fire of freedom breaking through shadows that for centuries looked like solid walls. I have seen kindness, and solidarity heal the fear and hate of oppression. I've seen liberty emerge from nothing but the human soul.
I am not a religious person, but I have faith. Faith in the ideals at the foundation of the American project. Faint but powerful recognition that "we the people" now includes me.
I love #America. And I hope to keep loving my home for the rest of my life.
