Currently playing something akin to Russian Roulette as to which medical tests and procedures I can afford. It’s not a good feeling.

📖We are often asked where you can find reliable vaccine information. It breaks our hearts to say it, but it’s no longer at CDC

The vaccine integrity project is a great source & has compiled recommendations from medical societies into 1 place for easier reference:

Opinion | Banning Abortion a Hallmark of Authoritarian Regimes Seda Saluk writes about how U.S. policy on abortion rights has started to mirror patterns seen in authoritarian regimes around the world.

The U.S. is mirroring a pattern that has happened in authoritarian regimes around the world. When a government erects barriers to reproductive care, it doesn’t just cause death and suffering for women and their families. Such policies are often a first step in the gradual decline of democracies.

I've been receiving so many messages from people here having their own "MELIA" in their home. Many looking like her too. I can't thank you enough for sharing your story. Many think she's a forgotten soul. I know there's someone out there for her ❤️

It is newsworthy that the president of the United States is increasingly verbally abusive of women reporters and he should be asked about it.

Hey everyone, @bluepyxie.bsky.social is one of my best friends and she and her dad are dealing with a rough time right now with medication. If you can please help her out or spread the word. She and her dad are wonderful people and could really use the help, thank you.⬇️ 📎

Sally went to work with her mama, Margitta, this weekend. She was quite content to sit on a cushy blanky in a bucket staring up at her loving mom!

If you don't want to reward Trump for taking over the Kennedy Center, but you want to see The Nutcracker, might I humbly suggest going to see this instead, featuring adorable little ballerinas who just want to make you happy?

Bronze plaque saying "A Letter to the Future. Ok is the first Icelandic glacier to lose its status as a glacier. In the next 200 years all our glaciers are expected to follow the same path. This monument is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it. August 2019. 415ppm CO2"

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

Heartbreaking. The University of Nebraska will terminate its entire Earth science department.

One of the country's most successful and respected geology & climate programs: gone.

When ideologues & politicians are threatened by the very act of studying climate change, I wonder: who of us is next?

This excites me

Good fences make good neighbors.

An old problem; boundaries matter.

A harsh reality is USFS is ultimately a political organization within the President’s cabinet, and the agency responds to Congressional oversight.

To borrow a phrase, manure rolls downhill.

Grassroots advocacy can push back.

‘Time is not our friend’: Health care scramble begins amid mixed signals from Trump The president injected more uncertainty last week, saying he doesn’t want to extend key insurance subsidies but understands it might be necessary.

As a fail-safe, House GOP centrists are preparing to launch a DISCHARGE PETITION to FORCE a floor vote on an ACA subsidy extension. Bill is expected to be released on December 9.

WOW, we've come a LONG way.....!

Here are some things about farmers:
1) American farm policy needs to change
2) operating a farm in the US is difficult because of agriculture and corporate policy.
3) corporate consolidations have decreased competition and makes farmers less profitable and is also bad for consumers

Lax Oversight, Few Inspections Leave Child Farmworkers Exposed to Toxic Pesticides Child laborers and other farmworkers in California are being exposed to toxic pesticides, in part because of splintered enforcement of safety regulations.

Pesticide exposure is a rampant problem in agriculture, and for child farmworkers, it's particularly dangerous!
