September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, and I’m asking our community to help spread the word: the earlier prostate cancer is found, the better your chances are of beating it. Visit cancer.org/getscreened to learn more from the americancancersoc.bsky.social and find a screening location.

my dad gave the eulogy at my grandmother’s funeral and he opened it with a line i think about every day: “There’s an old saying in medicine: if you make it to 80, you win.”

I cannot overstate how much I hate when people are dicks about babies crying in public (especially airplanes). Do you think the parent is having a good time right now?? Do you think they are not aware of the situation??? Are you going to negotiate with a literal infant????

County child welfare services agencies have received the same block grant funding from NV since 2012. If the state adjusted the for inflation it would take Clark County’s block funding base from roughly $42 million to $63.1 million. ICYMI, my story in @nevadacurrent.com.

NV made modest improvements to the child poverty rate, but is still among the worst in the nation when it comes to the overall well-being of children. The rate of children living in households with a high housing cost burden increased from 33% in 2019 to 37% in 2024. My latest via @nevadacurrent.com

I was recently asked by a school nurse which approach to take w a teenager who keeps using 7-OH. Boundary-testing is a normal part of adolescence. But persistent use? Look at the home. Stop thinking punishment. Start thinking “what’s happening to drive a 15 year-old child to constant escape?”

look how much craftsmanship we've lost in clothing in just a hundred years

A man in the 19th century wearing a chicken suit. It has feathers, a full on tail, and even shoes shaped like chicken feet

A chicken suit currently for sale. It's just a smooth white zip-up onesie with no tail, no chicken feet, and just some flappy thing under the arms and some striped leggings. Pathetic

Today is Red Dress day, a time for us to reflect on the fact that: -3 in 4 Indigenous women experience violence in their life, and that although we make up 2% of the population -40% of trafficking victims are Indigenous women. -murder is the 3rd leading cause of death for Native ♀️ #MMIW #MMIWG

A woman wearing a red shirt under a red attiqluq with white flowers holds a hand under earrings that look like red dresses. In some Indigenous tribes, red is a color that our ancestors can see. It's also a nod to the "what was she wearing" questions when a woman is sexually assaulted

On this day 70 years ago-May 1, 1956-the polio vaccine was first made widely available to the public. The vaccine’s developer, Dr. Jonas Salk, did not patent the vaccine so that it would remain available to as many people as possible in the US and internationally. Image: Harvey Georges/AP.

Tragic but interesting how the financing works. :((( Also Trump terminated the committee that makes recommendations like this for newborns? Great. :/

RFK JR has obviously never been bedside as a child dies. I have. I remember every death. The anguished screams of the family. The faces of my team, who have done our best, realizing it’s not enough. We look at each other searching, any idea? And the solemn silence when we all shake our head no.

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines. When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

*bangs mic aggressively on the lectern* listen up baby kittens The last time we throttled the supply of a drug it diverted people who needed that drug to the illegal market. This was the DEA throttling opioids. It contributed significantly to the overdose epidemic.

if you defer gratification and diligently save your money every month, then one day you’ll be able to watch it be slowly leeched from your possession by a ravenous entity whose existence is predicated on the suffering and exploitation of the elderly
