*right now*

A whole generation of doctors and nurses have NEVER SEEN THE MEASLES
BECAUSE MASS UPTAKE OF THE VACCINE ERADICATED IT In 1998 then misinformation decreased vaccination levels - now it’s back.

ADHD people were just as distracted before the first smart phone dropped. We just used to do this thing called daydreaming.

Tapping the sign again: Ableism is the problem and what we should expend our energy on dismantling. Autistic folx live full lives — if your narrative of “full” is based on ableist stereotypes then you should re-evaluate where the REAL problem lies and do the work of unlearning ableism.

You may be fearing your 401k is no longer enough for you to retire. But with all the cuts to NIH and Medicare you also won't live as long. So the policies are integrated.

New RECOVER study (preprint) of 465,717 kids. Long COVID risks highly elevated on reinfection with Omicron compared to first infection.

"Reinfections with Omicron are mild” is a straight up lie fabricated to lubricate societal machinery so people can live in denial.

Israel killed 15 Palestinian paramedics and rescue workers one by one, says UN Workers on a mission to help colleagues were buried in mass grave in southern Gaza, says humanitarian office

Eight days ago, Israeli forces killed 15 paramedics in Gaza "one by one" and buried them in a mass grave.

1,060 healthcare workers have been killed in the past 18 months.

These are war crimes. How many more must occur for our government to end arms sales and sanction Israel?

Some very bad news:

New modelling predicts up to 10 million additional HIV infections following aid cuts www.telegraph.co.uk/global-healt...

this stuff is happening across the country and even more intensively downstream of the veterans admin but it's happening in so many places at once and without any public notification that it's still only barely emerging in the news

I ain’t paying for all that

Exasperatingly frequently necessary reminder that the weaponization of ableism and fatphobia and homophobia and transphobia against your political enemies still works to NORMALIZE those things, thus SYSTEMICALLY HARMING your supposed allies.

Researchers surprised to find less-educated areas adopting AI writing tools faster Stanford researchers analyzed 305 million texts, revealing AI-writing trends.

The researchers were surprised because new tech is usually adopted first by more educated, higher income earners.
But genAI isn't like other tech. It's a slop machine. People who can already write well and are experts in their field don't need slop.
It's the least surprising result in the world.

I won’t feel better until the heart attack and stroke rates in younger folks are back at prepandemic levels.

I’ve found that my degree was not that important in being a good educator. I love teaching so I work to be a good teacher. Students respond to your genuine self coming across, more so than any technical knowledge. Just finish the degree so you can do what you want.

Texas Banned Abortion. Then Sepsis Rates Soared. ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis is the most detailed look yet into a rise in life-threatening complications for women experiencing pregnancy loss under Texas’ abortion ban.

NEW: Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%.

For 23 years, NIH grants could be tagged as autism research, helping track and coordinate funding. That mechanism has now quietly expired—no notice, no announcement. A junior faculty member discovered it when submitting her first autism grant. Whether oversight or intent, it’s gone.

Gulf of Distraction

How Ironic that on the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, Woman's portraits have been taken down at NIH and Women is a forbidden word that if found in your NSF grant could get it revoked. #womeninstem

Section 504 prohibits discrimination against disabled people & guarantees equal access to anything (services, programs, buildings, etc.) that receives federal funding. It paved the way for the ADA. The sit-in that got it passed is an extraordinary moment in US history.

I am incandescent with rage.

Hearing that DOGE went into the Dept of Education today and shut down almost the entirety of the department's in-house research arm, Institute of Educational Sciences, cancelling contracts totally about $900m.

I blame dystopian fiction for the expectations I am seeing. Ironically, those books largely come after 50 years (or more) for a reason. You think the revolution is immediate because that's when you're brought into the story. But if the fall took decades, the revolution also took decades.
