The HPV vaccine is covered completely by most insurances and a lot of people may not have gotten them as kids. Whatever some antivaxxer told your mom on Facebook, these HPV VACCINES PREVENT HPV AND CANCERS they could cause you.

Ossoff is acting like Trump/MAGA/GOP and what they’ve done to the country is Actually Bad. Charismatic and well spoken, which sure helps. But no “my friends across the aisle,” no acting like the imaginary “Baileys” are the only ones who matter, no “don’t talk values, only kitchen table.” That’s it.

We can all agree that “pumpkin spice” has nothing to do with pumpkins but just a love of clove, allspice, nutmeg, and cinnamon, right? This means that Cincinnati chili (which I actually love) is just pumpkin spice chili. I’m so so sorry my Ohio friends. 😣

I've been immersed in research on Reconstruction in Lousiana and it's a very difficult truth to absorb that the white terrorist movement in the South was among the most successful terrorist movements in global history. Took 10 years but it won a total & complete victory through murder and atrocity.

It is so devastatingly troubling that a majority of Americans are still in favor of the death penalty. I seriously don't get that and it's one of horrors of this country that is not just tragic and unjust but also just so gruesome and utterly ghoulish to me. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/10...

Most Americans favor the death penalty, but support has declined.
