A Third Woman Died Under Texas’ Abortion Ban. Doctors Are Avoiding D&Cs and Reaching for Riskier Miscarriage Treatments. Thirty-five-year-old Porsha Ngumezi’s case raises questions about how abortion bans are pressuring doctors to avoid standard care even in straightforward miscarriages.

A 5 and 3 year old lost their Mom. A clear case of doctors withholding a D&C causing a death. The doctor also had no qualms about throwing nurses under the bus either. Clots the size of grapefruits is not minimal bleeding.

Lucy Letby was banned from talking to her colleagues after being redeployed off the unit she loved working on. The reason the consultants got funding for more staff is because the care they were providing was substandard. But ofc let’s blame a nurse.

A well written article about harm reduction and the need for government funded overdose prevention sites.

Spot on. The powerless cannot abuse the powerful.

The PHO and BC NDP set these up and due to pressure from the Conservatives totally dismantled these programs. Fact is, they save lives.

I was a bit too tbh. Maybe it was because I was smiling and polite first? Not sure. It’s not generally like this when I am in non-touristy type places though. Like day to day life.

As usual, Republicans do not object to "language policing," they object to terminology that represents greater societal acceptance of marginalized groups.

I had a friend visiting from Germany and she was blown away by our smiles and politeness.

Many here who have joined from Twitter once supported my voice some years ago. You helped set of a chain of support that gave rise to a national a campaign that helped free my mother from prison in a landmark case that gave voice to countless victims of coercive control. So, I will be here too.

🧵I wrote my thesis on how Ireland repealed their constitutional ban on abortion.

What I found, is that the testimonies of women who nearly died - or stories of women who did die - or were otherwise traumatized were the most effective on changing anti-healthcare people’s minds.

Bluesky Is Growing Up. Maybe Too Fast. The fledgling social media site has been flooded by people seeking alternatives to Facebook, X and Threads. It hasn’t all been easy.

Over the past week, the social media site Bluesky's growth has exploded, more than doubling to 15 million-plus users, as people seek alternatives to X, Facebook and Threads.

Highly encourage everyone to hide replies from accounts posting abusive, obnoxious or off-topic things

It’s one thing to share alternative viewpoints in a respectful way, but if they can’t use the Internet like an adult or show any understanding of basic social norms, don’t give them oxygen

Lucy Letby was found guilty for the death of Baby A. There was no evidence of an air embolism on the PM and Dr. Evans decided that was the cause of death because there was no other reason. Maybe having inexperienced doctors insert IV lines had something to do with it.

Panorama - Lucy Letby: Unanswered Questions Former nurse Lucy Letby was convicted of harming and murdering babies in her care. Now, a growing number of experts are questioning the prosecution's evidence.

Someone told me BBC1 used a clip of my Lucy Letby video (without permission) and I can't even watch it because I'm not in the UK so that's cool. Here's my full vid and transcript if you missed it: skepchick.org/2024/07/is-k... www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

Lol. I like V. Time to be me!

How I came to Bluesky

There are three main reasons I’m seeing people cite for their reluctance to move from Twitter to Bluesky:
1. Stubbornness and sunk cost fallacy
2. Not getting as much engagement
3. Bluesky doesn’t have the people/content they want on it yet
Now, to briefly argue against these reasons 🧵
