Um yea. It would supplement my $8/month donation nicely.

This, and got involved on the local level where I could make a difference. And cried a lot.

Iโ€™m starting to feel like the American education system when teaching the holocaust focused way too much on the gas chambers and tattoos and not enough on the way Hitler used bigotry, corporate influence, and overall political ignorance to manipulate the masses in his rise to power.

We have a madman in the White House who is actively trying to trigger total war.

If Jeffries, Schumer, or any other Democratic leaders try to justify this, shrug indifferently, or write a strongly-worded letter and call it a day, they need to step down or be aggressively primaried.

Weโ€™ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably wonโ€™t share intel with us. Because people couldnโ€™t vote for a woman.

Hey, somebody go back in time and tell that terrified anthro101 student whoโ€™s way nervous about the govโ€™t unit that in a few years theyโ€™ll be an elected official, involved in the political realm, and seizing the chance to make a real difference.

Acute viral infections are typically cleared by the hostโ€™s innate and adaptive immune responses, but even non-integrating RNA viruses can persist [1,2]. Neurons of the central nervous system are a privileged location for persistence because the host cannot deploy the cytolytic and inflammatory defense mechanisms that control infections in renewable cell types [3,4]. Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) provides the prime example of a persistent brain infection caused by a human RNA virus. SSPE, which occurs in about 1 in 10,000 individuals typically 5โ€“10 years after they experience an acute infection as a child [5โ€“7], starts with subtle signs of intellectual and psychological dysfunction and progresses to sensory and motor function deterioration that ultimately leads to death [8,9]. There are no effective treatments for SSPE, however nonspecific antivirals (interferons, ribavirin, and inosine pranobex) have been used [10]. Although vaccination against measles prevents SSPE, this lethal disease is resurging due to vaccine hesitancy and missed immunizations due to COVID-19 related disruptions [11,12].

TIL that measles can infect and persist in the brain, and then (rarely) FIVE TO TEN YEARS LATER, kills you. There are no effective treatments.

Vaccination against measles obviously prevents this ๐Ÿงช journals.plos.org/plospathogen...

Why donโ€™t transphobes focus on FtoM guys instead of being all angry react bamboozled on women they accuse of being men? Oh yea, the patriarchy.

One minute Iโ€™m filling in the square next to MY OWN NAME on my ballot, and the next Iโ€™m shaking tortoise shit out of a towel outside in a windstorm. Hashtag mom life. Itโ€™s glamorous yโ€™all. (The tortoise is returning to school tomorrow, to haunt another family next weekend)

Nobody told me about all the pretending that goes into parenting. Here I am pretending everything is fine (democracy ending, cancer diagnoses, financial worries, etc) so my kiddo has a childhood. Iโ€™m not a good actor.
