Yesterday on Twitter, RFK Jr. blatantly accused doctors of vaccinating patients solely for money. Earlier in the week, he cancelled $500m in funding for mRNA vaccines.

Then a man who apparently thought his illness was caused by the COVID19 vaccine fired numerous rounds at the CDC, killing a man.

I realize broad science-literacy problems cannot generally be solved just by shoving more facts at people but I really wish more people understood that the entire purpose and mechanism of a vaccine is to educate your OWN immune system, making it about the most "natural" medical intervention possible

Hope everyone is paying attention. Wilson is saying the same old destructive stuff: patriarchy, cHaTtEL SlAvErY iS GoOd WhEn DOne RiGhT AcTuaLLy, repeal the 19th & Obergefell—a Christian™ nationalist ticket.

What's new is US Secretary of Defense publicly supporting it. 🚨

I'm so sick of the alt right fetishizing a woman's fertility.

I'm here on this planet to be more than an incubator.

I feel this in my BONES

Omg I mentored this book and it is BEAUTIFUL! Heartwrenching!! You absolutely want to read it!!!

This whole thing is like the “they just want to get rid of vaccines so more people die” thing: the truth is pretty obvious but us respectable people feel awkward spelling it out because it seems like the kind of thing that shouldn’t be true

Yes, 💯. I wrote about it in more detail here (no paywall) re: dangers of using AI as a therapist: www.jgcarpenter.com/blog.html?bl...
“They do not know what it means to be shaped by race, gender, class, geography, or historical trauma. They have no social memory. No ancestors. No future.”

Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.

There’s been a lot of framing of Elon Musk’s “spicy” AI tools as weird or cringe or inappropriate, and all of that is true. But it misses the larger point, which is that this technology is sexually abusive and deeply misogynistic—part of the right’s playbook to oppress women and girls

That would make an amazing sticker

The thing I wish people would understand about bodies:

Except in a VERY FEW cases, you don't get sick, and then get better.

You get sick, or hurt, or find out something's off with your body - and then if you're lucky they can restore *most* of what you had before, AND YOU STILL HAVE TO GO TO WORK.

👏👏

I 100% bought books I learned about here and/or have been reminded to preorder books I knew I wanted but had forgotten about

This isn't a list of jobs that A.I. can easily replace.

It's a list of jobs that techno fascists don't think are worthwhile or meaningful and that they want to eliminate.

They don't want humans to try to make sense of the world, they want us to believe whatever we're told.

How a Group of Lesbians Provided Lifesaving Care During the AIDS Crisis Amid abandonment and fear surrounding the AIDS crisis in the 1980s, a group of lesbians became a lifeline for AIDS patients.

Between 1983 and 1992, the Blood Sisters hosted 12 blood drives, demonstrating sustained commitment for nearly a decade. ⤵️

I've spent my summer doing archival work on treatment guides and safer sex materials that members of ACT UP and other HIV/AIDS organizations made. They fought to keep one another alive as best they could.

This work is absolutely worth fighting for.

Zotero has changed my life for the better. What a marvelous piece of software.

For sure!!!

You are objectively correct

Is anyone on here an astrochemist? Or in a closely related field? My daughter wants to talk to one who can help her make choices about her college degree/extra stuff she can do to eventually become one herself. Thx!

Germ theory of disease

Sorry to disappoint 😜

I thrifted a pair and really love them

They want to trap kids and their families in poverty. Because poverty makes them easier to scapegoat, control, and exploit.

They're forcing us to DIY the parts of society best managed by government: from disaster preparedness to education and public health. Because DIY saves billionaires a few bucks. And because DIY is so cognitively taxing that we can't strategize to fight them and can only fight each other for scraps.

Jesus Christ’s Return to Earth Roughly as many Americans say Jesus Christ will return to earth in the next 40 years (41%) as say he won’t make an appearance by 2050.

One reason might be that GOP/MAGA is growing in the fertile soil of an end-times religious cult. Did you know that 4 out of 10 Americans believe we're living in the biblical end times?

Sure, they're not all in complete agreement about what that means.
