Its not only death versus life. I know someone who had measles aged 3 and became deaf as a result (this dates to before the vaccine was introduced).

Sorry to be That One, but Philippides or Phidippides?

Thread: The story of the mighty runner Pheidippides dates back to the 5th century BCE Herodotus, who tells us that this incredible athlete ran all the way from Athens to Sparta and back again, a distance of just over 300 miles.

We may be at cross purposes, I was just curious about Shackleton's choice of words.

Shackleton's "Imperial Trans-Arctic Expedition" was to the Southern Pole. These days we spend a little bit of ink saying Antarctica in order to create the distinction with the Northern Pole, but Shackleton didn't need to bother. I wonder when that changed?

Its even worse than that. If you actually look at the Equalities Act, it refers to nine protected characteristics, and one of them is "having a gender recognition certificate". The Equalities Act is actively protecting many trans women.

I don't think that this can be reversed. Even if the tariffs were removed tomorrow, you couldn't expect that the trade deal you signed with the US would last longer than four years. Its about trust, and when that's gone, its gone.

“In the eighteenth century, people believed cheese could cure leprosy.” I suspect I’m not going to change a lot of minds on this one, but one thing I’ve thought about a lot is how we discuss historical ‘beliefs’ like this more carefully. (1/n)

There are about as many intersex people in the world as there are redheads— ~1.7% of the world's population. So claiming there are only two biological sexes is like claiming there are only two hair colors: Brown & Yellow. Now consider how you'd regard someone who loudly & repeatedly insisted that…

The #ConnectedAtBirth #etymology of the week is MEASLES/MEASLY/MISERY #wotd #measles #measly #misery #measlesoutbreak #antivaxx
Outbreaks of measles could easily be prevented by a measly little vaccination, avoiding much unneeded misery, if it weren’t for the antivaxxers. Measly is exactly what it looks like, the adjective form of measles, derived by adding the adjective forming suffix -y to the end of the word, and originally had the sense of “infected with measles” before developing the colloquial sense of “inferior, contemptible, of little value; paltry”. The word measles itself is the plural of Middle English masel “little spot”, which is a borrowing of either Middle Dutch masel “blemish” or Middle Low German masele, in either case ultimately from Proto-Germanic *mas- “spot, blemish”. The form and pronunciation of the word seems to have been influenced by the otherwise unrelated and now archaic English word mesel meaning “leper”, from Old French mesel “wretched, leprous; a wretch”, from Latin misellus “wretched, unfortunate”, a diminutive of miser “wretched, unfortunate, miserable”, which is the base of Latin miseria “wretchedness”, which itself passed through Old French misere “miserable situation, misfortune, distress”, to give us English misery.
