  4. RE: flipboard.com/@naturenewsteam/

    #Aging in #humans and the reasons that support high #lifeexpectancies are of general applied interest. Of particular research interest are so-called #supercentenarians in #Brazil. As this population is considered genetically most #diverse due to indigenous, European, and African influences. According to the paper below, the secret to aging in Brazil may lie primarily in a #genetic #predisposition.

    🥳 The good news is that #games can be #compelling even if they are not #entertaining!

    (Just like a film! Or a book!)

    We've been down this road many times - for many years - and are so pleased that, despite folks who thought it was not possible, games continue to become more #diverse and their communities continue to grow in size and scope.

    🏆 Games have special powers which are difficult to reproduce through other media forms. This is just one reason many groups turn to intentionally designed #bespoke games to help make the world a better place for all of us

    ❤️ We are proud of the designers, developers, writers, and artists worldwide who've created games which have helped countless young people and their communities thrive.

  16. Rechte müssen immer und stets für alle Menschen gleichermaßen gelten. Egal ob jung oder alt, ob klein oder groß, ob diverse, weiblich, männlich.
    Rechte haben ‘nichts’ mit ‘Alter’ oder ‘Geschlecht’ zu tun.
    Rechte haben mit ‘Menschen’ zu tun. Punkt.

  17. I just started four #SocialMedia accounts: A private account for #Mastodon and #Bluesky and two job-related accounts, following @cyberlyra 's #balkanization philosophy. I like Mastodon more because it is #FOSS and #Fediverse, more #diverse and more resilient against (self)#censorship. My first experience with #Bluesky: They immediately #blockedme (before sending any post) because of 'behaviour' (¿? I got no explanation), and I had to send my passport to reactivate it. Is this normal?

  18. Happy Rosh Chodesh and Hanukkah to EVERYONE! Eid al-Banat sameach to all my girls out there!

    And a happy Feast of the Circumcision to those who celebrate!
