These pescatarian birds are directly exposed to PFAS contamination due to the island's position near the St. Lawrence Seaway.
Over fifty years of data show a peak in PFAS (also known as "forever chemicals") content in seabird eggs in the 90s, followed by a decrease as regulations went into effect. The most recent findings show a 70% decrease of most common PFAS.
While continued vigilance a regulation is needed, this data indicates that regulations are working to reduce PFAS concentrations in marine ecosystems.
Yes!!!! I did a review of literature on PFASs in human drinking water about half a year ago, and there is a lot of really good progress! Please celebrate this, please don't let this solution be forgotten (at least so quickly) as the ozone layer or acid rain.
We are making genuine progress! Producers are dramatically altering how much they use PFAS and how much gets released in effluent, but also there's a lot better understanding of how to remove PFAS from the environment!

first real conversation with your mother and only alive parental figure is a mythological psychosis monologue on the way to her unsanctioned coronation wearing a hazmat suit of chainmail and warliner where she calls for the immediate retirement of the pope on sacred ground and then monologues yet again about her inherent right to use nuclear power. oh and you're 7.
ICE is spending millions on shock gloves designed to overpower subjects through intense, localized pain.
Headline: The Painful Truth of Exactly How ICEβs New Shock Gloves Work

Selected text from article:
With the revelation that ICE will spend up to $20 million by March on gloves that can deliver painful electric shocks to subdue an individual, according to a notice published earlier this week by the Department of Homeland Security, it's worth looking at how this apparel, designated as a nonlethal tool for law enforcement, actually works.
When activated via a one-second press on a wrist switch, conductive pads embedded on the palm and undersides of the fingers of the gloves can transmit high-frequency electrical pulses directly to the wearerβs point of contact on a subject. A rechargeable battery and microprocessor module tucked inside a zippered pouch on the cuff powers the entire system.
The electrical pulse overstimulates nerve endings in the subject's peripheral nervous system, resulting in pain that inhibits coordinated muscle movement, but without causing systemic muscle lockup. The pain induced is localized to just the area touched by the glove's conductive pads. The manufacturer claims the gloves result in a subject's compliance in less than three seconds and leave no burns, marks, or scars.
[...]
Crucially, the GLOVE has limitations, chief among them that for the device to work effectively and deliver its restraining pain shock, it must come into contact with the subject's bare skin. According to Compliant Technologies, the gloves won't work through dry clothing or thick hair. The gloves will work, however, if the subject is wearing thin, wet clothing, such as soaked T-shirts or blouses. The GLOVE also does not like being dunked in water and will likely be rendered inoperable if this happens.
Michael Crowley, a senior researcher at Omega Research Foundationβan organization that tracks human rights abuses committed across the world by people using police, security, and military equipmentβis concerned that the GLOVE is seemingly designed not to restrain or incapacitate, but to hurt.
βCD3 technology inflicts pain," Crowley says. "The company talks about it as a de-escalation solution, but the whole idea of it is to get control or influence somebody through pain. Omega considers it to be an inherently abusive technology that should not be manufactured, sold, or used by law enforcement officials, including ICE.β

listen realistically winnie wouldn't be going to the club, but i do have a fucking EXTREMELY funny mental image of winnie waiting patiently at the table in a lie down only to !!! i smell liver treat person!!! it's been MONTHS!! and he's HERE!!!
it is the one (1) time winnie ever disregards the professionalism of her harness and starts searching the club because it's her guy!! she hasn't been able to say hi to her guy in FOREVER!!
just fucking CACKLING about ilya trying to grind up on this girl to hopefully make shane jealous only for a BIG ASS malamute to suddenly just :D :P hi!! hi you!! hi person!!! :D :P :P :P :P paws on his shoulders and licking the FUCK out of his face.
and now his efforts at looking sexy are RUINED, and he's also kind of alarmed because winnie is still in her Work Clothes, so he's wondering if something happened to shane and she came to get him as someone who might be able to help.
so now he has to just tell the girl bye over his shoulder and try to get winnie to take him to shane because he can figure their shit out later if shane isn't okay, and-
and now the first time they come face to face in months is shane looking for winnie while freaking out that someone stole his dog and ilya worried that shane is hypoglycemic and needs help, and there's a moment of just. looking at each other.
she's SUCH a good girl okay!! she's such a good girl!! she has done her job so well!!! but she has seen her guy multiple times now!! and he's never said hi afterwards!! for why!!! doesn't he want to see her!!!! that's her buddy!!!! she doesn't say hi in the arena because she's on the job and shane holds her leash extra-tight right now for some reason whenever their guy is around! but she misses him!!! he doesn't give her treats or ear scritches or belly rubs or her liver treats!! for why!! say hi to her!!!
The anti-vax and anti-science propaganda is very real - and also, frankly I think doctors and nurses would've had an easier time getting people not to fall for it if they spent less time treating people like fucking shit
To be excruciatingly clear: This is a pro-vaccine blog and a pro-vaccine post.
I meant that the propaganda exists and has an impact, not that said propaganda is in any way accurate. All anti-vax and vaccine dubious replies and comments are disavowed by me, and potentially to be deleted. Anyway vaccines work and I might not be housebound right now if I had been physically healthy enough to get my flu shot last fall. Get your fucking shots, for yourself and for the people who fucking can't.
I recently thought about Queen Maeve and needed some fanfiction about her stat, and was bewildered to discover how much less fic there was about her than about the male characters. I don't know why I was surprised, but I really was
The idea that non-police lynchings ever stopped in the US instead of whites just becoming craftier (evil) about it is so weird to me like
Sure they ainβt picnicking at a public hanging anymore but you seen how many more missing posters thereβs been the past few years in particular right? How so many Black and Brown children are just fuckin disappearing too and never making anything more than a Facebook missing post?
We just only hear about them when someone cares about them enough to set fire to everything until it gets noticed.
Yes. Mainly by law enforcement or people working with them. We watch us disappear into human trafficking and mass graves and we can do literally nothing about it besides hope one of our loved ones wasnt one of them when we get news theyβve disappeared.
The law doesnβt exist to protect Black people, it exists to kill us.
The issue became national news when families said they waited months for word about missing loved ones β only to learn their relative had be

she was going to call me a bitch (playful) and i saw her gears turning like no but he's trans i need to call him the male equivalent. and then say fag and look so so surprised at the word that came out of her own mouth. it was like watching someone fail a disco elysium skill check irl
its funny to me how warmups for instruments generally sound nice and pretty. like just basic scales or chords. the exercises i do on my guitar could be mistaken for actual music at times.
and then vocal warmups are shit like. bark like a seal. grunt like a thwomp from mario 64. now sing the melody but instead of the lyrics youre saying 'moo moo mee mee mah mah' even the scales you gotta moo mee mah through that shit and its just so goofy every time. and this is why im not a singer

I don't want to get all "hur hur that's not realistic" to amateur writers, but I want to make sure that everyone knows this: in a medieval or medieval-ish setting, someone who's seen an archer before would definitely be able to tell whether someone's an archer just by looking at them.
Archeologists can't tell for sure whether someone was assigned male or female when alive from bone structure, but they can tell whether someone was an archer. Longbow archer, anyway. The way their arms and shoulders were strongly muscled in a very asymmetrical way is pretty much unmistakable, and they were muscled enough that it's visible in their bones. If someone's seen what archers look like, they can tell whether a stranger they've never seen before can shoot a bow or not.
Finding an unarmed and unconscious, soft-bodied and narrow-shouldered stranger in the woods, the first clue that this mf is not a ranged nor melee fighter is not by whether his fingers are calloused in the right places for a bowstring. A medieval bowman was built like a brick shithouse.
I do consider Wolverine's interactions with Jean and Scott in the first X-Men movie to be sort of an inverse unicorn hunter scenario. sometimes the unicorn hunts you. aggressively.
the thing is. Logan finally makes one (1) pass at Scott that's so straightforward even Scott can't write it off as homoerotic bickering over Jean, and it sends him into a tailspin. he doesn't even answer he just leaves the room. gracelessly. listen it's 2001 and like, okay, obviously Professor X is gay, Scott knows that, he's fine with it but like. jesus christ. he has enough problems with the whole mutant thing; Scott Summers has not been exploring the lush garden of latent bisexuality. plus he's like SO coupled up with Jean so it doesn't even matter, right? it doesn't even matter and he never had to think about this again, except he does and he's dating a telepath (FUCK) and she Knows something is up and he can't brush it off forever so he tries (fails) to casually bring it up. haha hey Jean you know I always thought Logan had a bit of a crush on you, but I think he tried coming onto me the other day, can you believe it? ("I think he tried coming onto me" here means "he offered to suck my dick with all the subtlety you'd expect from a man who's very popular in truck stop bathrooms," btw.) and Jean Grey, the Dark Phujoshi herself, cannot hide that this is huge for her. this solves so many of her problems. she's salivating and Scott can see it and she's realizing too late oh no Scott was Not into it like that, abort mission hard. except he saw how excited she was for a split second before she got a lid on it, so he knows, and she knows he knows, and he know she knows he knows. and now Scott can't Stop thinking about it, and the more he tries to not think about it the more he does, vicious cycle, and he keeps having these dreams about. well. what if. what if I did let him suck me off a little. which Jean knows about, obviously, because she's a telepath (FUCK). so she knows. and he knows she knows. and she must know that he knows she knows. but neither of them are saying anything about it, just sweating it out while Logan continues to slut around the school in a white tank top pretending he's not playing six dimensional mind game chess to land the plane on this threesome.
Meanwhile, every other telepath in the building is rolling their eyes at getting Cyclops's sex dreams projected out to them by the World's Most Powerful Psychic Voyeur, because Jean can't stop thinking about it or watching, and everybody is just so goddamn sick of it that they're about to just yell at Wolverine and Cyclops to fuck already.
