America is currently a case study of the tail wagging the dog. 24% either this the world is flat or aren't sure. Erm..try reading a decent book. Oh of course, it's probably been banned

Done. Well done, but this has taken so long and still leaves AHPs lagging behind fellow healthcare professionals. We need equity of access across the board.

Oh indeed. Modern Christianity is flawed terribly. The occasional oasis of clear thinking but far too much ceremonial and shabby thinking, causing immense harm and hurt especially when in cahoot with Goliath

very interesting post and article about a new book - I'm thinking it is my next read. Follows in the line of several similar books over the years. What is striking is that the argument aligns closely with original ideas within early Christianity - a desire to live counter culturally to the Goliath

A screenshot of a cartoon edit in two parts. The two parts are top and bottom and the cartoon is from The Simpsons. 
The top part has two Simpson characters standing on a path looking at a car driving past which has an image of the orange clown rapist hanging out of the drivers seat with a speech above. The text says:
β€œNo one cares about Jeffrey Epstein”
The 2nd part shows just the heads of the two Simpson characters. The yellow character says: β€œWhatd he say?”
The other brown character says:
β€œI dunno. Something about being a pedophile.”

Almost a third of people in Gaza 'not eating for days,' UN warns Israel faces increasing pressure from Western allies to lift restrictions into the flow of aid into Gaza.

This genocide must stop. Each life that is lost or that suffers due to the actions of the Govt of Israel supported by a broken US Govt is their fault and their responsibility.
