And this is a great example of why I said “No” to allowing the use of an AI tool to listen and transcribe my last medical appointment. What a horrible mess.

A taste of winter in Worcester today. Snow flurries and a wind chill of 17°F.

❤️❤️❤️ There is much still to do, and we will keep showing up! And yes, very grateful for Rob, Khrystian, and Sue and the good work they will be doing.

Still processing the Worcester election results from yesterday. Finding joy in @bilottafordistrict2.com winning in District 2. It’s much harder thinking about our city council losing @etelhaxhiaj.bsky.social and her tireless advocacy and huge heart.

Women’s Pay Is Falling Behind. Is the Return to the Office to Blame? Women have made big workforce gains, but their pay growth isn’t keeping pace with men’s.

A decline in remote work flexibility over the last year is widening the gender pay gap and dragging down the labor force participation rate of college-educated mothers.

Employers who can offer at least hybrid work arrangements can attract some great talent.

The Dolphins have become so good at finding ways to lose.

I thought something looked very wrong there. Yikes.

A Population-Based Study of Measles, Mumps, and Rubella Vaccination and Autism | NEJM It has been suggested that vaccination against measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) is a cause of autism. We conducted a retrospective cohort study of all children born in Denmark from January 1991 th...

Trump again just implied that the MMR vaccine causes autism.

Many studies have shown that there is no relationship between MMR vaccine and the development of autism.

This one followed every single child born in Denmark from 1991 through 1998 (n=537,303). There was no association.

Science by feels. Sure, why not?

Reminder: While autism diagnoses have indeed exploded over the years as we’ve dramatically expanded the parameters for diagnosis and educated professionals on what to look for, rates of Tylenol consumption during pregnancy hasn’t changed. Science doesn’t lie; people do.

I feel for folks with small businesses like this. There’s similar concerns on the yarn side of things for independent dyers and other smaller operations. A lot of knitters/crocheters order directly from overseas shops. I’m guessing the extra cost will be prohibitive for many. It hurts everyone!

over time I believe this will end up being one of the most unpopular things the administration ever does

a death sentence for many hobbies and all the average consumer sees is that you’re taking away all their bargains

one of the few policies that has a direct negative effect on almost everyone

Yes, we are indeed! It’s a huge issue.

An inauspicious start to the season for the Fins (pending some miraculous comeback). Ah well, I shouldn’t be surprised.

I had wondered about mail-in ballots. I thought I had just missed the info on it, but it sounds like they weren’t a thing for the preliminary?

If you're in School Committee District E, please vote: there are two awesome candidates (Nelly Medina and Noelia Chafoya). It would be awesome if they both got more votes than the third option (Roy, who is currently on the school committee and needs to go).

I'll be heading to the polls after work with @trifatlete.bsky.social! Polls are open until 8 pm, so still plenty of time to vote in the preliminary election in Worcester.

This was how I knew to go check Instagram!

A tough but important read. We need to name where we are if we have any hope of getting out of it. It feels especially bleak today as it’s my firstborn’s 20th birthday. I hate that our democracy is fading as she moves into adulthood.
