I could say a lot just about that sentence. Medicine is not common sense. It's research and effort and it takes time. There is no "common sense" shortcut to understanding human biology.

[dog burning in fire sitting at table with coffee this is fine meme] This is not fine but the problem is so inconceivably large that i feel powerless to affect it

Sorry if I sound like a broken record, I just want people to realize it IS okay to get the current 2024-2025 COVID vaccine as a booster this year, ESPECIALLY if you know you will not be eligible to get the updated 2025-2026 vaccine due to this administration’s restrictions.

ICE agents are not wearing ‘masks’.

They’re face coverings. Bandanas. Gaiters.

Masks are a public health tool. They’re a form of both resistance and community care.

ICE agents wear them to terrorize people & hide their identity.

The rest of us wear masks to protect one another.

When doctors can't figure out what the hell is wrong with you, they send you to Rheumatology. When rheumatology doesn't know what the hell is wrong with you, you are so f-cked.

What's gone unsaid in all this talk about homeless people in DC is that so many in the Capital are veterans who are now having the military aimed back at them for the crime of being poor.

Good for her, and for Boston.

“The parallels are stark: entire communities were forcibly removed from the West Coast in 1942 & today our immigrant brothers & sisters face the terror of ICE and CBP raids across the country. It was a miscarriage of justice then, & it is a miscarriage of justice now,” Burroughs continued.

Let us not forget that joy is an act of resistance.

Saw someone upbraiding someone else for having a hobby while the world is on fire, and, my friends:

1. The world is ever on fire, this is today's conflagration;

2. If you don't find time for rest and joy the fire will consume you;

3. Don't let people shame you for being an entire human.

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 24-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 1.2 MILLION people in Denmark found NO LINK between aluminum in childhood vaccines and autism, asthma, OR chronic disorders.

Aluminum is an ADJUVANT.

It ENHANCES your immune response to a vaccine.

That’s it.

I won't always keep a long streak in reading apps. And that's okay. I don't want to be driven by the compulsive need to maintain a streak and read a novel because I "must."

Real talk: the Social Security trust fund will run out soon if nothing is done.
 
But there is a simple fix that does not require cutting benefits or raising the retirement age. Here it is:

Rockwell was one of the first painters where it really clicked for me, as a kid, that he was telling a story; that all artists were doing that in some way.

AG Neronha, coalition sue Trump Administration for blocking Planned Parenthood from receiving Medicaid funding:

"Health care must be affordable and accessible for all Americans, and we will continue to fight against those who enact policies to the contrary."

I would add anything about “God’s will” or “everything happens for a reason” do you say this to kids with chronic/terminal illnesses too? Do you say this to people who’ve been assaulted? People who just lost a loved one? Is it supposed to be comforting?

Today I learned that an effective way of chronic pain management for me is more pain? I ordered a hoop for a helix piercing in a size too large but stubbornly swapped it in anyways. And DAMN is my very tender ear really taking all attention away from my aching everything else

Oh no. I did not need a sudden realization of what my inner voice sounds like

I made my cat a faux Rothko colour field painting for her bathroom. I chose blue since I’ve heard it’s the colour cats see most vividly. There are seven different blues in it, including Stuart Semple’s IKB analog. It’s genuinely difficult to photograph.

The EO titled “Ending Crime and Disorder on America’s Streets” isn’t about safety.
It’s a legal weapon for mass institutionalization without consent.
It starts with the unhoused—but it won’t end there.
This is fascism in white gloves.

Let's break it down.🧵 1/

And it won’t just be used against unhoused people on drugs.

This opens the door to detain:

Autistic adults

Trans people

People with depression or ADHD

Chronically ill

Anyone poor or inconvenient

As Keith used to say...there's more to accessibility than just getting in the door.

Anyone can become disabled. Advocacy matters now.

✅ Support access
✅ Amplify disabled voices
✅ Challenge ableism
✅ Demand inclusive policy
