With science falling under increasing attack, this medical historian is here to remind people of the power of #vaccines. THREAD🧵 Hard-hitting polio advert from 1958. In the first half of the 20th century, polio was the leading cause of death in children and young adults. 1/7

An advertisement for the polio vaccine which reads: "they all got vaccine except dad...don't take a chance...take your polio shots!" It depicts a photo of a family gathered around a father who is in an iron lung.

#RomanSiteSaturday: The architectural perfection of Timgad, Algeria, is consistently striking in photographs. The Colonia Marciana Traiana Thamugadi was founded in 100 AD. Its plan, laid out with great precision, is Roman urban planning at its best. 📷 Georg Steinmetz 🏺 #archaeology

Visible landmarks include a large amphitheater, a central forum surrounded by columns, and monumental arches, all set within a geometric network of buildings and thoroughfares.

Baby chicks were never an appropriate Easter gift for children, but especially not now with the spread of Bird Flu. 🐣 Get a toy chick and sponsor a rescue bird instead! www.merrymacfarmsanctuary.org/meet-the-birds

A pastel colored graphic comparing the cons of real chickens versus the pros of toy chicks. Text is as follows:
Real Chickens
Catch and transmit Bird Flu
Have sharp beaks and talons
Need lots of space and special housing to protect them from predators (and wild birds carrying
Bird Flu)
Poop a lot
Even the hens can be very loud
Are prone to numerous ailments that require treatment from specialist vets
Stuffed Chicks
Don't catch or spread Bird Flu
Require no space at all
Soft and cute
Live forever
Don't poop
Don't eat
Don't peck you
Don't cluck loudly and screech
Never need to go to the vet

1. Stop assuming people announce all their activism on social media. 2. Stop demanding people announce all their activism on social media. 3. Stop deriding people for not announcing all their activism on social media. 4. Dunking on people on social media isn't activism and isn't praxis.

I like paying taxes. Genuinely. Not grudgingly. I can’t pave a road, I can’t build and staff a hospital. $200 in my pocket won’t pay for my kid’s daycare but if we all pool our money it might. I really wish someone on the left would be brave enough to be like, “Taxes are good, actually.”

Living with chronic illness...

what most people think it is "being sick"

what it actually is - being 'sick', social isolation, learning med terminology, navigating the healthcare system, planning/managing appointments, life unpredictability and accepting change, stress of financial costs

This bronze head of a griffin - once an attachment for a cauldron - was discovered to have been stolen from the museum at Olympia in the 1930s. It's been in the #MetMuseum since the 70s, and it's back in Greece for now, but part of a long-term loan to the Met. 🏺 #ancientbluesky 7th c. BCE. 📸 me

Bronze cauldrons set on tripods or conical stands were among the most spectacular votive gifts dedicated in Greek sanctuaries from the eighth to the sixth centuries B.C. Cast-bronze griffins' heads often decorated the cauldron rims; they projected outward from the shoulder of the vessel on long necks made of hammered or cast bronze. Some of the dedicated cauldrons were colossal. The Greek historian Herodotus describes one made for King Kroisos of Lydia that could hold 2,700 gallons and another dedicated on the island of Samos that was supported by huge kneeling figures. Over six hundred bronze griffins' heads from cauldrons are known today; most have been found at the sanctuary of Zeus at Olympia or at that of Hera on Samos. This enormous head is one of the finest.

The griffin has its eagle beak open, calling out, and its thin sharp tongue is curled upwards in its mouth. It also has a knob-like finial atop a stalk on top of its head and is missing one of its long upright ears. A very nice patina, part green, part orange, but mostly dark. You can see little feather patterns in the bronze if you zoom in.

On this day in 1942, German tanks and soldiers marched through Winnipeg. The mayor, premier and Lt. Governor were arrested. The city was renamed Himmlerstadt, books were burned and the swastika flag flew around the city. This is the story of Winnipeg's If Day. 🧵1/14

The photo is a black-and-white image of a military parade in an urban setting, likely from the mid-20th century. It shows several small tanks or armored vehicles driving down a city street, with soldiers in helmets riding in them. The street is lined with multi-story buildings, vintage cars, and streetcars, suggesting a historical context, possibly during World War II.

UPDATE: The National Park Service have now removed “queer” and the “Q+” from the web page for stonewall, along with any mentions of transgender people.

Stonewall page on the National Park Service website:

"By the time of Stonewall... we had 50 to 60 gay groups in the country. A year later... 1500."
Before the 1960s, almost everything about living openly as a lesbian, gay, bisexual (LGB) person was illegal. The Stonewall Uprising on June 28, 1969 is a milestone in the quest for LGB civil rights and provided momentum for a movement.
