Oct 10, 1911: California voters passed the amendment giving women the right to vote (nine years before #19thAmendment). www.sos.ca.gov/elections/ce... Suffragists celebrating in Los Angeles, via the Los Angeles Herald (Oct 1911): cdnc.ucr.edu?a=d&d=LAH191... #suffrage #womenshistory

A screen capture of the Los Angeles Herald (October 13, 1911) shows the front page above the fold. The central b/w photo is a group of cheering suffragists at Choral Hall (in the now-gone Philharmonic Auditorium) just after the Herald staffer brought news that “suffrage had surely won.” Initial reports on the evening of October 10th didn’t look good for the suffrage amendment in California. Suffrage lost in San Francisco and barely won in Los Angeles. Suffragists began to brace themselves as they prepared for a new campaign. It was the votes from California’s rural and inland counties that tipped the scales. According to one of the headlines, “Majorities Rolled up By Inland Counties.”

they are unfit. Vaccinations, preventative medical care, are all interfering with the natural order of things and should not be used to stop culling the herd. Some, like RFK jr are more overt than others, but it’s in the background for most. And, yes, it has anti-Semitic and racist roots. 2/2

I think what underlies MAHA thought is an innate eugenics which posits that people who are healthy only become unhealthy through something interfering with their “natural health.” Those with chronic illness, or who succumb easily to disease are simply unfit and if they die it is “Nature” showing 1/

Okay I've seen at least 2 posts today that describe Jim Bakker as "having an affair with his secretary" or "getting caught banging his secretary" and just...no. He got caught paying her off because he and another preacher *violently raped her*. That isn't an affair, or a simple "sex scandal".

I had the most mild case of Shingles ever, to the point I didn’t realize it was shingles. Got the Shingrix vax as soon as it was available even though I’d had the earlier shingles vax already.

Barbara Roseman @broseman.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

And we should all remember there is an association (not determined to be causal) between getting the Shingles vax and a reduced chance of Alzheimer’s and other dementias. I can’t wait for more studies on that data. Even if you don’t recall having Chickenpox, get the Shingles vax.

Barbara Roseman @broseman.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

This chart of incidence of Shingles may be the precursor to a chart of elderly dementia in 10 years, or they might all get vaccinated in the meantime.

Barbara Roseman @broseman.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Two different teams examining the same data from two perspectives. Both conclude that the Chickenpox vaccine sharply reduces incidence of Shingles. Don’t forget there is an association between getting the Shingles vax and reducing Alzheimer’s and other dementias.

Also, more and more reports are confirming what should have been admitted for years. The Trump administration has business deals ready to go with Putin, once they can bully the Ukrainians into surrendering more of their land and people. This is the real Trump/Kushner win-win.

A graphic with six boxes explaining ways to avoid sexual assault* for perpetrators from the Sexual Violence Center Cork
1) DON’T PUT DRUGS IN PEOPLE’S DRINKS
2) USE THE BUDDY SYSTEM! IF YOU CAN’T STOP YOURSELF FROM SEXUALLY ASSAULTING SOMEONE, ASK A TRUSTED FRIEND TO ACCOMPANY YOU AT ALL TIMES TO STOP YOU.
3) WHEN YOU COME ACROSS SOMEONE WHO IS DRUNK OR ASLEEP, THE BEST THING TO DO IS NOT RAPE THEM.
4) WHEN YOU SEE A WOMAN WALKING BY HERSELF, LEAVE HER ALONE.
5) IF YOU ARE IN A LIFT AND SOMEONE STEPS IN, REMEMBER NOT TO SEXUALLY ASSAULT THEM.
6) CARRY A WHISTLE. IF YOU THINK YOU MIGHT RAPE SOMEONE, BLOW THE WHISTLE UNTIL SOMEONE CONES TO STOP YOU.

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:

Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads:

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

Behavioral biologist Dr. Victoria Braithwaite: the first person to demonstrate that fish feel pain. Her groundbreaking research impacted animal welfare research & changed guidelines for the treatment of fish in laboratories & fisheries in Europe, Canada & beyond. She died #OTD in 2019. #WomenInSTEM

Candid color photograph of British behavioral biologist Dr. Victoria A. Braithwaite (1967–2019), renowned for pioneering research proving fish feel pain, sitting inside a science laboratory. Captured from a slightly elevated angle, she sits angled right in a black office chair while turning her upper body and head toward the camera, exuding a warm and inviting presence. She wears a white lab coat open over a black-and-white striped turtleneck sweater and blue jeans. Her short, light brown hair frames a cheerful, smiling face. Behind her, shelves hold numerous glass jars filled with specimen liquids, while a desktop computer, microscope, and lab equipment clutter the desk. The composition positions her as the focal point against a backdrop of active scientific inquiry, conveying an intellectual and passionate mood. This photograph highlights her historic contributions to animal welfare, notably altering guidelines for treating fish in laboratories and fisheries.
