Another Global Pandemic Is Spreading—Among Pigs
African swine fever killed half the pigs in China. There is no vaccine and no treatment. Now it’s in the Caribbean and on the doorstep of the US.
Mother’s occupational exposure to indoor cleaning agents starting before conception, or around conception and pregnancy, was associated with more childhood asthma and wheeze in offspring. Considering potential implications for vast numbers of women in childbearing age using cleaning agents, and their children, further research is imperative.
Not much exposure with my small batches but I roast in an unheated entryway with the sliding door open anyway. Since a respiratory infection a few years ago my lungs are not in the best of shape so every bit helps keep matters from worsening.
"Additionally, the intense emotions triggered by conspiracy theories might suppress people’s capacity to think rationally about them. Emotions are part of a system within the human mind that produces snap judgments, while slower, more analytic thought is required for scepticism about conspiracy theories. The combination of fluency and suppression of rationality could promote the belief that there is truth in an entertaining conspiracy theory."
"...the most entertaining stories people encounter frequently do not correspond to reality; often, the truth can be quite boring."

The double post was accidental, but kind of funny when I think about it.

Agnotology (formerly agnatology) is the study of deliberate, culturally-induced ignorance or doubt, typically to sell a product or win favour, particularly through the publication of inaccurate or misleading scientific data. More generally, the term also highlights the condition where more knowledge of a subject leaves one more uncertain than before.

Awesome. I didn't know there was a name for it, but I've been observing it in action most of my life. From apparently deliberate mispronunciations and denial of racial and gender equality to the recent vaccine debates it's always mystified me that people can be actually proud of their own display of ignorance in the face of overwhelming fact and logic. Thanks.

Some folk give more credence to their emotions than they should, fertile ground for the growth of opinion without rational underpinnings. It's like they choose to be victims of their own gut reactions rather than using them as guides to healthy skepticism.
A Word about this Website
THE HEALING RACISM TOOLKIT IS FOR WHITE PEOPLE in North America to understand and begin to heal the racism we carry. Racism is a chronic spiritual disease born out of a false sense of racial entitlement, arrogance, egotism and superiority. It prevents the building of healthy community.

Thoughtful Thought provoking read. Just spent about 35 minutes on there.
I have been reading since @silvermouse post on all the massacres and lynchings. It is really profound when you read the history. As to the toolkit part, this I can not speak to.

Maternal preconception occupational exposure to cleaning products and disinfectants and offspring asthma
Mother’s occupational exposure to indoor cleaning agents starting before conception, or around conception and pregnancy, was associated with more childhood asthma and wheeze in offspring.
