Fix It, Then Pass It On: iFixit Joins Forces with Back Market
ifixit.com · Apr 23
Let’s say your phone starts slowing down. Battery life’s tanking. The screen’s got a few, uh, character lines. You could toss it in a drawer, start browsing for a shiny new upgrade—and boom…

🔁 @iFixit:
A cracked phone screen doesn't mean you need a new phone! Instead, choose #repair or refurbishment—it's better for your wallet, and the planet.
Repairing will refresh your device, but when you do replace it, remember to trade it in to somewhere like Back Market. Instead of ending up in a landfill, it'll find a new home in someone else's pocket (and put some money in yours!). This enables phones to stay in use for 10 years, saving cost and energy.

America used to have the best medical research system in the world. Elon Musk and RFK Jr. are ripping it to shreds.
Queer Hope on the Open Social Web
forbetter.ghost.io · Apr 23
Being queer feels pretty rough right now... I decided I wanted to write this blog on Monday, my gay birthday. Yes, like the queen, I celebrate two birthdays - my actual birth and when I came out. But, this year, I struggled to celebrate - even with my partner's best

"X as a platform is dangerous for queer people. Perhaps it always was, but it is especially true now with far less protection in place against hateful and harmful content.
Society is going backwards, but the OSW can catapult us forward with diverse pioneers leading the charge."

4chan Is Dead. Its Toxic Legacy Is Everywhere
wired.com · Apr 22
It’s likely that there will never be a site like 4chan again. But everything now—from X and YouTube to global politics—seems to carry its toxic legacy.

When it comes to sucking up carbon emissions, ‘the ocean has been forgiving.’ That might not last
pbs.org · Apr 23
The ocean helps relieve our atmosphere of a lot of the excess carbon dioxide we've pumped into it. Here's how its "twilight zone" makes that happen, and how the impacts of climate change make it harder for the ocean to do its job.

🔁 @breadandcircuses:
The more CO₂ the ocean absorbs, the more acidic its chemistry becomes. After years of working overtime to take in some of the excess carbon we’ve pumped into the atmosphere, ocean acidification has already increased 30% compared to pre-industrial levels, and could increase an additional 120% in the decades ahead. That, in turn, could lead to severe disruptions in the worldwide food chain, followed by famine and starvation such as we’ve never seen.
I wish I was exaggerating. But I’m not. We are in grave danger.

Bet on Systems, Not Sparks

We keep mistaking the highlight reel for the work. We see the headline, the launch, the million views—and forget the months, sometimes years, of invisible scaffolding beneath it. We've been trained to look for the sparks: the moment of inspiration, the viral post, the Hail Mary that lands, the

"In a twitter rant following the Dobbs decision I predicted 'the people, of all stripes, who got it so badly & utterly predictably wrong . . . will just continue. They'll never admit they were wrong.'
And so it has come to pass. The New York Times, The Washington Post, Time, & so on, cover our constitutional collapse with a 'who could possibly have foreseen this' sort of tone."
