Emerging research suggests datacentres create a heat island effect, pushing up temperatures in the immediate vicinity by as much as 9C

I’m not saying it was a deliberate act of racism, but that’s why it’s so insidious, because it happens without conscious thought; this is a pretty good example of how racism slips into literally every aspect of daily life without people even noticing. If you need more Vitamin D, supplements are good enough. They work for people who live in countries that already don’t get much sunlight. If you are dark skinned, do NOT spend an hour in the Sun unprotected, use sunscreen and stay in the shade.

Here’s an article on the signs of skin cancer in people with all skin types, and why it’s a complete misunderstanding that people with more melanin don’t need as much sun protection.

I am not uptight about privacy because I'm hiding something. I'm uptight about it because the people who dismiss my right to privacy are dangerous to you and me and our families, personally, all the time.

"The former San Antonio police officer accused of feeding a homeless man a sandwich stuffed with dog feces is now the chief of police of the small South Texas town of Benavides.

One-time SAPD officer Matthew Luckhurst was appointed top cop in the town of about 1,100 people on June 1, Benavides City Clerk Tiffany Bazan told the Current. Benevides City Council discussed and voted on appointing Luckhurst as the town’s new chief of police on April 30, public records show."

but there's a better hypothetical: ask what they would want to happen if they were a victim of a hate crime. should the perpetrator be merely rehabilitated? locked away for an arbitrary amount of time? executed on the spot?

Read a fucking book.

Also?

"what they would want to happen if they were a victim of a hate crime. should the perpetrator be merely rehabilitated?"

Yes.

thought about this because it's so frustrating when people argue that 'dying in childbirth' is a historical sort of event that doesn't happen nowadays (false) and therefore is irrelevant to the legal status of abortion, since it's not a real danger.

except it super is, and i think a lot of people haven't noticed that this argument in addition to simply being incorrect is basically the same as when people say we don't need vaccines for deadly diseases because no one gets those now anyway.

PROPAGANDA OUTLET DOWN!!!

And there are so many articles and videos and discussions. Like, the scientific community is buzzing about this.

So much research will have to be redone because the data was absolutely compromised, off by orders of magnitude, by using standard lab gloves.

The world is probably not horrifically contaminated by microplastics. Sterile laboratories, however, are contaminated by latex and nitrile gloves.

Tl;dr: the Christian categories of “moral” and “ceremonial” law that are used to justify Christians invoking Leviticus while simultaneously following none of Leviticus are extra-textual, inconsistent, and clearly self-serving on their face.

“Rules about my money and my property become optional. Rules about your genitals and your sexuality do not.”

How does the saying go? If there are 9 people at a table and a nazi is allowed to sit down, all 10 are now a nazi.

And its important to note for those who lack critical thinking, Prater did not team up with Hezbollah because he supports arab countries and is simply anti israel. He is a neo nazi. He did it because he hates jews. He saw that Hezbollah also hates jews and wanted to team up with them to harm jews.

if you're talking about the trans wage gap, there's a study out of Canada that shows similar. Admittedly Canada is pretty similar to the US socioeconomically, and those two obviously aren't representative of the whole planet, so I'd be willing to accept that this pattern doesn't hold true for everywhere on earth.

This Survey out of PKU doesn't give any specific numbers sadly for income, but does state "In terms of ability to find employment, levels of acceptance at the workplace, and freedom for gender expression, analysis of this survey determined that, on average, transgender women face the most challenges at all stages of employment", and does show other indicators of worse treatment across across the board (higher dropout rates, high rates of rejection by loved ones, higher rates of self-harm/suicidality etc.)

(There's a more recent survey from 2021 though, though they don't talk about income at all, only about improving conditions for trans people across the board and the need for further improvement still)

This is a generally understudied topic, and I am limited to English, so if anyone knows of similar studies, please tell me. Given what existing data shows, and what "transmisogyny" as a social theory suggests, we don't have a reason to expect that the pattern of trans women getting paid the least out of any gender demographic would be the case at least most of the time.

Anon needs to go fuck themselves lol

Survey respondents were asked about their current employment status; trans and non-binary respondents were less likely to be in paid work (39.11% compared to 49.06% of all LGBTI respondents), more likely to be unemployed (8.34% compared to 4.78% of all LGBTI respondents), and more likely to be unable to work due to long-term health problems (5.88% compared to 2.35% of all LGBTI respondents). These differences were exacerbated to certain groups of trans and non-binary people: trans women were much more likely to be unemployed (11.67%) or unable to work due to long-term health problems (7.32%), and less likely to be students (16.19%, compared to 27.36% of trans and non-binary people and 27.92% of all LGBTI respondents).

The survey asked respondents if they felt discriminated against when looking for work and when at work. The share of trans and non-binary respondents that felt discriminated against when looking for a job is 31.79% (compared to 10.17% of all LGBTI respondents). This share is much higher for trans and non-binary people with disabilities (44.73%) and trans women (43.03%). At work, trans and non-binary people were also more likely to experience discrimination (34.42% compared to 20.83% of all LGBTI respondents), with even higher rates for trans people from an ethnic minority (including migrant background) (41.08%), trans and non-binary people with disabilities (44.95%) and trans women (36.35%).

And another one about trans people and poverty from 2021.

In lieu of detailed alt text, here is a spreadsheet with the same information on it.

The notable things are that police officer deaths get counted as "in the line of duty" in a very generous way because it has an impact on "survivor benefits" paid out to families. The reason it's worth pulling Covid deaths out despite that also not being a violent death is that it seems likely that a lot of cops died of Covid-19 because it was a deadly pandemic for everyone, not necessarily because they contracted it from their work. But there was an incentive to say they got sick on the job.

Even the automobile crash fatalities being so high is a little misleading. Occupations where you drive a lot are, in general, quite dangerous in the United States. But U.S. cops also have this thing where they fantasy that they're going to be caught on their seatbelt during some kind of pursuit and gunned down in their vehicles, so they opt not to wear a seatbelt at all. About half of all police vehicle fatalities are due to them driving without a seatbelt.
