The climate crisis is NOT gender-neutral.
It amplifies existing gender inequalities, threatening womenβs and girlsβ livelihoods, health and safety.
Women's participation in climate discussions is vital for a sustainable future.

What this guy is stupidly reporting to Elon, is whatβs called a βmerged recordβ - listing all the addresses that this individual has had mail to, or registered in the past.
And showing that they voted once, on the 25th.
The reason?

#OctoberBigDay event in Nairobi at the Giraffe Centre. We saw more than 50 birds! Our guide saw dozens more.
Happy #WorldMigratoryBirdDay!
(Migrating birds havenβt arrived in Kenya yet so the ones we saw are local all year.)

We strongly condemn the murder of Rebecca Cheptegei, the third elite runner to be murdered in Kenya. All suspects were intimate partners of the athletes.
No impunity for perpetrators.
The trend of #femicide must be stopped.

π Climate change and air quality are interconnected and must be addressed together. Addressing them hand-in-hand is a win-win for the health of our planet, its people, and our economies.

Globally, a woman dies of cervical cancer every 2 minutes. Africa accounts for 23% of the deaths. I must reiterate what we all know: we can completely prevent cervical cancer through vaccination & screening. The major barriers are cost & access.

If anybody wants to know why Gen X is always mad, it's because we had to replace our record collections with a tape collection that we had to replace with a CD collection that we had to replace with an MP3 collection, and now we need a subscription to listen to music.

Fun fact, I edited this clip.
In 2016 I watched the entire 96 DNC to see if anything interesting happened, and suddenly MACARENA.
The actual moment wasn't this... manic? I took the best shots and stitched them together but kept the music uncut. This is before I understood journalistic standards.
Anyway, this edit is my contribution to American culture.
