The US owes the Pan-American Health Organization $135 million in past dues. Trump's budget proposal cuts funding for PAHO entirely, even though our contribution is 0.001% of federal spending. The result will be even weaker defenses agst measles, dengue & more. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/30/h...

I took this photo last December, of a public shelter in an unrecognized Bedouin community in southern Israel. It (a) holds 30 people, supposedly; (2) is the only shelter available for the 5,000 residents in this village; (3) is not in any way able to protect against ballistic missiles from Iran.

The thing about being a parent of young children is when you see someone wiggling you feel compelled to ask if they need to use the bathroom, even if said person is a fully grown adult stranger sitting next to you at the airport lounge (this guy definitely needs to pee and should really just go)

My neighbors hosted a small gathering today to check in on each other and spend time together 3 weeks after the fire-- the hosts and most attendees were in their 70s or older, and they were all bada*s. Elder Seattleites are living proof that age is not some gravitational pull towards conservatism.

1. "'Trusting the experts is not a feature of either a science or democracy," Kennedy said." It's literally a vital feature of both science and of representative democracy. I've written a fair bit about trust in expertise as a vital mechanism in the collective epistemology of science.

What a way to start the day. Amazingly, the playhouse we’ve been building for our kids was only minimally damaged. Our collection of Christmas decorations, including the stockings my mother hand made for all of us (mine in 1985) are gone, and the tree skirt I made while pregnant with my daughter.
