Infectious diseases killed Victorian children at alarming rates โ€” their novels highlight the fragility of public health today Between 40% and 50% of children didnโ€™t live past 5 in the US during the 19th century. Popular authors like Charles Dickens documented the common but no less gutting grief of losing a child.

VACCINES SAVE LIVES

Vaccines ended the COVID-19 pandemic.

Vaccines and other public health measures save the lives of millions of children worldwide.

Do not let RFKJr and the Trump admin take us back to a time when 5 in 10 children died before the age of 5.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.

Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.

Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Believing that Tulsi Gabbard โ€” longtime Russian asset and newly confirmed Director of National Intelligence โ€” is acting in the interests of the United States requires an extraordinary level of self-delusion.

This is just one of thousands of harrowing stories told about the U.S. Government abandoning Americans abroad in the USAID shutdown. This is Benghazi times a million. 1/

Screenshot of the Reddit r/fednews feed titled "Emails to HR @ OPM with questions will put you on DRP list." 
Enjoying my lunch break obv (nicotine and caffeine for lunch, a holdover from the military days :D) Was informed this morning that there were a number of individuals in our agency who had responded to the Delayed Resignation Program emails with further questions, and their names were added to the list furnished to our agency for program participants. Said individuals are continuing to fight to get their names removed from the list of program participants. Be careful emailing OPM! EDIT: From the comments, someone CC'd a supervisor on their response, and the supervisor's name was added to the list.

I think I've found a way to articulate what bothers me about the trajectory of the modern tech industry (and to some extent... society).

We are on this Earth to provide for each other. That's the "mission" of humanity as I see it.

This is incompatible with what the tech industry seeks to do.

Venezuelan Migrant Sent to Guantรกnamo Bay Is โ€˜Not a Criminal,โ€™ Family Pleads (Gift Article) Luis Alberto Castillo arrived in the United States so that he could โ€œgive everything to his son,โ€ said his sister. Then, while scrolling on TikTok, she found out he was headed to Guantรกnamo.

We only know this man is in Gitmo because Noem tweeted a propaganda photo that included him and his sister saw it. He has no criminal record. He entered the US in January and immediately made an appointment with CBP to claim asylum. They sent him to a concentration camp bc of his basketball tattoo.

Me: idk, I feel like the Samuel L. Jackson bits were maybe too heavyhanded, we donโ€™t need the subtext spelled out for us, the audience is smarter than that

Me after reading several insane takes about the halftime show: I think maybe the Samuel L. Jackson bits were not heavyhanded enough

Libraries are the best. I just placed holds on 17 books of crochet patterns and stitches ๐Ÿ˜Œ

This is your reminder that libraries are a great place to find resources for hobbies - some even have beginner kits (like yarn, needles/hooks) you can take out to get started!

Iโ€™m a part time librarian and I just want to echo what Iโ€™ve seen other librarians say recently: there is a HUGE uptick in requests for social justice, climate justice, abolition, history, etc books and I just want to say nobody is giving up the fight. If anything people are fighting harder #library
