”A vegan diet is probably the single biggest way to reduce your impact on planet Earth, not just greenhouse gases, but global acidification, eutrophication, land use and water use. It is far bigger than cutting down on your flights or buying an electric car.” x.com/mercyforanimal…

That’s not what she said though. She said everyone should open doors for everyone, out of common courtesy and good-will. Door-opening should have nothing to do with gender. x.com/allafrica/stat…
From the end of June to the middle of August you may have a hard time reaching people in Sweden. Why? Because we're all on holiday.

↪ Replying to @whitneyq
@whitneyq Basically yes :) Although "health insurance" is perhaps not the phrase we'd necessarily use in the sense I believe you mean. It's just healthcare and it's for everyone, even asylum seekers. When I first began to understand how US healthcare works I had a hard time believing it.
↪ Replying to @laura_yarrow
@laura_yarrow You wouldn't be the first, upon hearing this ;) Most Swedes have 5-7 weeks paid vacation. We need to use X days per year, can save the rest for coming years. Most employers must also allow 4 consecutive weeks during June-August.
Find myself having to explain the Sweden summer shutdown time and again. Anyone have a good summary/article of the five consecutive weeks of holiday that is Swedish tradition?
Let me just say, there are so many great non-alcoholic beverages available and if a portion of your guests are not drinking alchohol, for whatever reason - please consider offering them something more to drink than water and sugary soft drinks. That is all.
”A Facebook spokesperson said the notification is the start of new proactive and transparent way for the company to handle issues going forward.”
🧐 Hmm. You have to wonder how often stuff like this has happened without notification. x.com/dylanbyers/sta…

@MisterAlek @josephscrivener My mind also went to motorcycle but then I did think "he must mean a bicycle". We're all in different states of mind :)
Exactly this. x.com/design_maria/s…
I have birthday entries every week for people I don't know who they are. I also don't know how they got in there or how I get rid of them. Apps/Google/FB/LinkedIn(?) pull in stuff from weird places and provide no delete button.
I quite hate it.

@kazarnowicz True. It gives me chills every time I say it to myself.
@kazarnowicz Which makes it even more scary that Freddy Krueger is now real life.
The fact that the wording on this kindergarten note reminded me of the Freddy Krueger rhyme (Nightmare on Elm Street) creeped me out even more than the fact that these types of notes are a thing. Which yes, creeped me out quite a bit. x.com/radiofreegeorg…
The note says:
Lockdown. Lockdown.
Lock the door.
Shut the lights off.
Say no more.
Go behind the desk and hide.
Wait until it's safe inside.
Lockdown. Lockdown.
It's all done.
Now it's time to have some fun.
The Freddy Krueger nursery rhyme:
One, two,
Freddy's coming for you.
Three, four,
Better lock your door
Five, six,
grab a crucifix.
Seven, eight,
Gonna stay up late.
Nine, ten,
Never sleep again....
I can feel myself having allergic reactions to posts like this. 🤢

When more and more companies say they employ user-centric design and actually don't, the words lose meaning and value. This is why the vocabulary around our professions evolve.

@amrancz True, and with correct punctuation; I’m thinking mostly of the commas.
The linguist in me sounded all sorts of alarms when reading this tweet.
”Merrily”
”Sighting”
”Spotted”
These words are not part of his regular vocabulary. May in fact be the first time ever he has used any of these 3(!) words in a tweet. (I did a quick search to confirm.)
