@queergermangirl.bsky.social Have you read "Tomorrow, Tomorrow and Tomorrow" by Gabrielle Zevin? It is a novel about video game makers.

GLP-1 drugs don’t just affect appetite and weight. They can reprogram gene expression.
A new PNAS study from the Salk Institute shows GLP-1 agonists activate Med14 phosphorylation, turning on genes that help pancreatic beta cells survive and produce insulin.

New in the BMJ: Our study of 600,000 people found GLP-1 drugs associated with 50% fewer substance-related deaths, 39% fewer overdoses, and reduced addiction risk across alcohol, opioids, cocaine, cannabis, and nicotine.

Penguins propose with pebbles.
Kids in a children’s hospital painted the pebbles.
Somewhere in Scotland a penguin just proposed with a child’s artwork.💕

Giant tortoises have returned to Floreana Island in the Galápagos for the first time in almost 200 years. 🐢🌿 buff.ly/beWx2o3
Conservationists released 158 young tortoises descended from the extinct Floreana lineage, helping restore the island’s ecosystem and seed dispersal.
It’s not a coincidence to me that #BrainInjuryAwarenessMonth and #LongCOVID awareness happen together. The cognitive symptoms my patients describe overlap in real, meaningful ways… and deserve the same validation, research, and treatments. 🧠

These are wild times when a funeral service is the most inspiring thing you’ve seen all week.
Grateful for this man’s leadership.

CDPH is urging Californians to check their measles vaccination status after several recent cases were reported in Sacramento and Placer counties. These cases represent the third measles outbreak in CA in 2026.

Yes, until after the November midterm elections.
Measles is a very contagious disease caused by a virus that spreads through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Keep you and your family up to date on the MMR vaccine.

Great summary of where we are for Respiratory Viruses across the United States now!

Measles meets ICE detention. What could possibly go wrong?
I think it is absolutely scandalous that in just one year of an HHS under the leadership RFK.Jr the US has lost its Measles elimination status and is now on track to do same for perinatally acquired Hepatitis B. These are huge public health wins that took years to accomplish.
✈️ One measles case can spread far.
Last yr, an unvaccinated traveler infected 17 others in the airplane and at the US airport. The traveler had fever, cough, & conjunctivitis while flying. buff.ly/El0n89P
People with measles are contagious 4 days before the rash appears and 4 days after.

It's been a long 6 years.
Good News! The same mRNA platform used for COVID vaccines is now being personalized to fight aggressive breast cancer. buff.ly/PHcr1wu
In a new study, custom tumor-targeting mRNA vaccines trained the immune system to attack the cancer.
10/14 patients cancer-free at 5 year mark!

ProPublica contacted state health agencies across the South and found most do not require hospitals to report measles-related admissions.
Alabama is among the few that do. Virginia does too, but it doesn’t release that data to the public.
Thanks Tania!
