"Society is convinced weight is under an individual’s control and so the sense that I had brought this on myself—and the developing baby—was overwhelming." Sue Fletcher-Watson describes the pressures of constant monitoring in a pregnancy deemed high risk www.bmj.com/content/388/...

Exactly why @bsky.app is so important. Engaging on this platform is important. As is growing this platform. Which one of these men joins Tom Anderson and MySoace in the annals of history first ? Their greed is our opportunity.

America's richest 10% now hold 60% of the nation's wealth. The bottom half of America? It holds just 6%. Wealth inequality is eating this country alive.

Cancer is a common cause of line-of-duty death for firefighters. We worked across the aisle to reauthorize the Firefighter Cancer Registry so we can improve research into health and safety standards for these heroes who put their lives on the line for us every day.

A thread dedicated to the enduring peculiarity of French painter Frédéric Bazille, born today in 1841. Although he was close to many Impressionists you probably haven't heard much about him, largely because he died in the Franco-Prussian War at age 28, a few years before Impressionism hit its stride

A tall, vertical canvas of a bearded artist grasping a palette and brushes. He turns to look back at us over his left shoulder. This is Frederic Bazille's 1865-66 Self-Portrait, now in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago https://www.artic.edu/artworks/110661/self-portrait

A scene, alternately in sunlight and shadow, of various figures around a swimming hole, most in swim trunks. One man leans against a tree in the foreground; another is submerged nearly to his shoulders; one reclines in the grass. In the mid-ground, two men wrestle. This painting is Frederic Bazille's Summer Scene (Bathers) at the Harvard University Art Museum https://harvardartmuseums.org/collections/object/230640

If you live in Utah and hate the inversion, here are the sources. And you probably guessed it right: cars are the biggest source of pollution, followed by buildings. Transit and heat pumps are the most sensible solutions. If you care, please consider contacting your state legislators.

Graphic with the causes of winter inversion in Utah. Cars are responsible for 48%, buildings for 39%, and industry for 13%. Source https://www.utahfoundation.org/reports/utah-priorities-2016-issue-2-air-quality/

Given the buzz around Bluesky lately- if you'd like to read more on blue skies, I recently wrote for MoMA on perhaps the most beloved work in its collection - the Starry Night - and Van Gogh's fascination with the theme of artificial illumination www.moma.org/magazine/art...

The author explores Van Gogh’s fascination with different kinds of illumination, from stars to newly invented gaslight.
