Lyme is one of many health problems caused & exacerbated by manmade climate change. A legitimate health secretary would acknowledge that.

We actually had a pretty good Lyme vaccine but antivaxxers lied & said it gave people knee pain (it didn’t but knee pain?) & got manufacturer to pull it in 2002.

A must listen. This episode is so beyond good!

This episode comes live from @sheffdocfest.bsky.social this past summer!

NEW EPISODE: E. M. Forster was one of Britain’s most successful novelists. Raised so prudishly he went to Oxford without understanding where babies come from, Italy — & later India — represented paradises of liberation in comparison to the cramped English bourgeoisie. badgayspod.com/episode-arch...

We have not run out of good ideas, we have a global inequality where good ideas cannot get the necessary supports into becoming solutions. Good ideas are everywhere if we would just allocate resources to trying some out. AI cannot make new ideas. It cannot have ANY ideas.

Lesbian Vampire Killer Tracey Wigginton — Bad Gays A podcast episode critically examining the story of the so-called "lesbian vampire killer" in Queensland in the late 1980s.

New episode: in homophobic and AIDS-panicked Queensland, the dismaying media spectacle of the so-called "lesbian vampire killer" shows it was easier to believe lesbians are vampires than to believe in the endemic nature of family abuse and violence in our society. badgayspod.com/episode-arch...
