There is lots to say about disparate treatment of women’s and men’s reproductive health choices, care, and informed consent, some of which I’ve written about with @sefyfe.bsky.social

Mortality rates: Mifepristone: 0.65/100,000 Penicillin 2/100K Viagra 4/100K Pregnancy in the US: 22/100,000 (some states see rates >60/100K) More people have died in ICE detention centers already in 2026 than will die from mifepristone all year. These politicians are extremely dangerous to women.

The sheer number of videos of the shooting is horrific, but in the vein of what @prisonculture.bsky.social has been saying, it proves how many people cared enough to show up where ICE was and record them. It wasn't just one or two legal observers, and when Good was shot, they didn't abandon her.

Today in @theconversation.com with @sefyfe.bsky.social & just in time to help understand what is up with Covid-19 vaccine access this year as we head into the holiday season and folks want get vaccinated + have some accurate vax info to share with friends & family around the Thanksgiving table.

theconversation.com

Off-label use of COVID-19 vaccines was once discouraged but has become common amid new guidelines

A cascade of changes to eligibility guidelines for the updated COVID-19 vaccines left Americans unsure whether they could still get the shot. That’s where off-label use comes in.

A brief commentary by @sefyfe.bsky.social & me in AJOB discusses why invoking the specter of regret in medical decision making, even about about potentially "transformative experiences," risks undermining patient autonomy. Read for free here: www.tandfonline.com/eprint/KWQVP...

Apparently this quote from RFK jr. was about kids with autism, but this is also true of kids who die from vaccine-preventable illnesses.

Supporting bathroom, sports and healthcare bans for trans people means signing on to a moral panic about problems that DON'T EXIST. When people say Democrats should "moderate" on these issues, they are suggesting that we legislate a group out of public life based on lies.

When people say, "we have made it through worse before" — Clint Smith *with alt text*

When people say,
"we have made it
through worse before"
— Clint Smith

all I hear is the wind slapping against the gravestones
of those who did not make it, those who did not survive to see the confetti fall from the sky, those who did not live to watch the parade roll down the street.,
I have grown accustomed to a lifetime of aphorisms
meant to assuage my fears, pithy sayings meant to convey that everything ends up fine in the end. There is no solace in rearranging language to make a different word
tell the same lie. Sometimes the moral arc of the universe does not bend in a direction that will comfort us.
Sometimes it bends in ways we don't expect & there are
people who fall off in the process. Please, dear reader.

do not say I am hopeless, I believe there is a better future
to fight for, I simply accept the possibility that I may not live to see it. I have grown weary of telling myself lies

that I might one day begin to believe. We are not all left
standing after the war has ended. Some of us have
become ghosts by the time the dust has settled.
