Saw Liz Phair for the first time last week (finally), and happened to be next to a group of folks who were certainly not born when most of the songs were released, but were sooo excited to see her, and knew all the words to every song, which really struck me.

It's not appropriate for cis people to say that trans people are too alarmed, or that certain trans writers are irresponsibly causing trans people to think the sky is falling. I want to take some time in this 🧵 to write personally about how my skies have fallen.

If you, like me, have concerns about the new OMB rules change (giving political appointees huge veto power over federal grants), and have wondered how best to voice your concerns during the comment period, this article is a great explainer and links to the specific regulations.gov page. 1/

this is such a great encapsulation of what the various factions of the reactionary right want. i might add that they envision themselves as slave masters and the rest of us, in one way or another, as their slaves. betterdonkey.substack.com/p/the-vra-wa...

Don't know who does the soundtrack at my Stop & Shop, but fun that every shopping trip is like a portal in time to my 1980's suburban CT jr high school/high school. This morning got Howard Jones "Things Can Only Get Better" and Van Halen "I'll Wait," kicking off a Howard Jones day at my house.

Great summary of the impacts of policy changes based on falsehoods about immigrants and Medicaid. I would add that these changes will also threaten the viability of the health care safety net in communities with large immigrant populations, which will hurt access for everyone.

This article is a great intro to the important work of community health centers. One comment I'd make is that it could be read as implying that the majority of FQHC funding comes as federal grants, but the average health center's 330 grant covers only 18% of revenue (KFF 2019). 1/2

Updating teaching materials on nutrition today and realized that the myplate.gov website has (in addition to the blatant Hatch Act violation) apparently removed all the Spanish language content/handouts. Figured nutrition is a way of making America healthy. Not if you don't speak English, I guess.

It can also help others, such as breast cancer survivors or people with hormone-related conditions, feel more at ease and confident in their bodies.
