Today is World IVF Day, and I want to share with you our daughter’s first ever photo💜 This was our one and only embryo, and we are going to meet her in September. This process is heartbreaking and impossibly beautiful and hopeful. I want everyone to have the access and choices that we did.

The other day I was teaching about music as torture and showed images from Abu Ghraib. My students-too young or not born at the time-were shocked that this happened. A reminder that one day we will all have to answer for the atrocities of our fellow Americans who were “just following orders.”

You complained last Monday that the time change was kicking your ass, I’m here complaining a whole week later that the time change is STILL kicking my ass. We are not the same (unless we are in which case can we cry together about this?)

One of the groups competing is a father and son who are watching as the son’s fiancée can’t start a fire. It appears to be some sort of test to see if she’s fit for marriage, and she fails so the son doesn’t send her fire supplies when he has the opportunity to so he can teach her a lesson.

When we talk about this golden age of television (Severance, Paradise, The Pitt, White Lotus) don’t forget about Extraction on FOX, where loved ones watch on screens as their “survivalist” friend/family member drinks dirty lake water and do nothing to intervene.

Trump Signs Order to Designate English as Official Language of the U.S.
The order did not require changes to federal programs but was a victory for America’s English-only movement, which has ties to efforts to restrict immigration and bilingual education.

RFK Jr. wants to overly simplify the root causes of chronic disease. He ignores complex relationships with social determinants of health like access to healthcare, education, and being paid a living wage. Republicans don’t want to talk about these things because they’re “woke”.
Screenshot from article that says: Jacobs said Kennedy wants to oversimplify extremely complex relationships between health exposure and chronic disease with blockbuster claims tying vaccines or food additives to illnesses, but that's not how research works. Many factors combine to cause chronic disease, including problems Republicans in Congress do not want to fix, such as underfunded public health departments and persistent air and water pollution.
