None of us are safe until all of us are safe. None of us are free until all of us are free. it shouldn’t have to happen to you to matter to you. Nobody gets thrown under the bus in a just world, which is what we should all be striving for without compromise. Human rights are non-negotiable.

I just got an email about a textbook my kids need to have for the first day of a homeschool enrichment class that starts 14 hours & 20 minutes after the email was sent. Off to a great start, everybody who is all “public school this and that is why I homeschool” is full of shit. Nothing’s perfect.

I’m an RN and very pro-science-based medicine. I’m AuDHD, so MAHA would want to, at best, send me to a camp or something. However, I also have been dealing with chronic illnesses and have begun to understand how some people end up going down the woo pipeline (that can end up at MAHA).

Seagrams gave better advice in the 1970’s than Emily Oster did in 2014.

From vintageads community on Reddit- an old Seagram ad that asks in a large bold font “should you drink if you are pregnant?” With a photo of a blonde haired white woman smiling at the camera, wearing a plaid shirt and blue maternity tunic over it. The smaller print answer it gives (paraphrased) is to listen to your doctor, it is safest for you and baby if you abstain from alcohol while pregnant, and if you drink do so with caution and moderation.

There's plenty of reasons to be skeptical of centrists who bemoan "political polarization" and call for a politics that abandons the "tribalism of left and right." 1/

The icy chamber at the center of Dante's hell, dominated by Satan, massive and peering around with his chin propped on his elbows, which rest of the ice-sheet. From the ceiling of the chamber dangles a massive, decapitated head, suspended by the hair. Beneath it is a pile of corpses in middle ages armor. On the opposite side of the chamber stands a suburban housing plot; another group of (living) soldiers in armour aim a giant catapult at it.

This is relevant because a major argument of those who claim the pandemic originated in a lab leak is that the "CGG-CGG" insertion in the SARS-2 furin-cleavage site (FCS) is so exceedingly unlikely that only lab manipulation could have produced it. @spyroslytras.bsky.social alignment below. 4/

These gloves don't cause neuromuscular incapacitation the way that a taser does. In fact, they only work when applied directly to bare skin. These aren't made for apprehending anyone. These have one and only one use: causing extreme pain to already-restrained captives. In plain language: torture.

As much as is wrong with the region, it has a deep magic to it too. A feeling of being protected by and connected to something much bigger and mystical and more beautiful than I feel anywhere else, but with a dark side too. And a sense of thin places.

I don’t want to talk about personal traits, but I do find it fascinating that fascists have such a fixation on the percieved negative stereotypical appearance of “antifa” when red hats, Mar-A-Lago face, Fred Perry shirts, etc. are such signifiers that are so proudly displayed on the right.

A black snake with a white underside, kind of hanging out of a clear plastic tote on its way to a log. It had started to come out of the tote but was waiting for the people to leave.

A black snake with a white undeside and a slight gray pattern coming out of a plastic tote onto a log. Its head is near the log, but most of its body is kind of looped over then following the angle of the tote, with its tail hanging down. I wish I could stretch like that!

Lots of EMS calls are “advanced life support.” There are different levels of EMS providers-some provide basic life support and some advanced. Depending on local protocols, BLS calls would be more minor injuries and illnesses, while ALS might need IVs, drugs, advanced airways, etc.
