“Dad, we made so many people happy” The mostly true recounting of crashing a holiday parade without Imperial authority.

I really can't emphasize enough that if you care about local politics, all you gotta do is show up. Just a regular schmegular person showing up. Literally just show up consistently in person and within a remarkably short amount of time, you will have a shocking amount of influence.

I need to take a moment to self brag. I just found out my door knocking total. -708 doors for the Dcdp and Aftyn’s campaign -538 for Planned Parenthood votes Grand total of 1246 doors knocked!

I'm not exaggerating when I say following @boltsmag.org rn will unlock money for our journalism. A generous reader, @russ41.bsky.social, has offered to donate $1 for every 1-person increase to our follower count. If you're not following @boltsmag.org yet, it'll directly help fund our reporting!

Think much of the over-parenting we despise stems from the early on fear of the driver. If parents weren't terrified of our streets kids would have so much more freedom and independence which might get them comfortable with their children's ability to navigate the world without them.

I love alt-health vitamin discourse and its good/evil binary. ❌ Doctors giving vitamin K in the hospital? Diabolical, toxic, monstrous, how could they poison newborns like that ✅ Me selling vitamin C from my online store? Revolutionary, amazing, lifesaving, give me your money already you rubes

I'll be live posting from the #ACIP meeting today. #Follow me for all the play-by-play. They will vote today on whether to recommend restricting the birth dose of hepatitis B vaccines, which have reduced infections by 99%. Most likely, they will vote to limit this vaccine.

There are now 2,900 billionaires, and they hold $15.8 trillion. The wealth of the bottom 50% of the global population, over 4 billion people, is estimated at $3.7 trillion.

This seems silly to say, what with everything going wrong and evil rising, but I think we need to change how we see ourselves and our fandoms. Over this last year I have been giving a lot of thought to how many people openly and clear-eyed embraced and accepted evil. People might be lying... 1/13

Precision Symptom Management: Why #PalliativeCare Is Poised for a Genomic Revolution Tempus AI’s acquisition of OneOme’s PGx assets is making headlines. Most see this as an onc play...the bigger picture: this move could catalyze a transformation in how we manage symptoms. #R&R #HAPC #PalPharm #HPM

Drug shortages are becoming much more common in #PalliativeCare clinics. The solutions are at system level untouchable by individual providers.

The solar panels on my roof got officially approved and turned on today! Our house now gets power from the sun!!

I need to write posts like this about my city of Shawnee, KS, the 7th largest city in #Kansas. In the past 2 city elections (2023 & 2025), Democrats flipped the city council from 7-1 GOP to 7-1 Dems by organizing, running excellent candidates and having a great ground game. #KSgov #ShawneeKS

TODAY IS THE DAY! GET OUT AND VOTE. Polls are open 7 AM - 7 PM WE GOT THIS!!!!!!

🚨New Paper🚨 US doctors are paid very different amounts for treating different patients—even when providing identical services. How much less are physicians paid for treating non-White patients? In @jamahealthforum.com, we offer the 1st national estimates. (1/7) jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

prepping for the family fighting holiday by doubling down on my opinion that pissed this site off the most: if you want cool things to continue to happen, you have to seek out, support, and show up for the cool things

since this is going ok, I'll make it personal: as someone who organizes things (friend things, community things, public things), it's demoralizing to be constantly met with people saying no/not showing up when the same people complain to you about loneliness and wishing there were things to do

Precinct level data just dropped on the county election website and I'm all like Navin R. Johnson. #LocalGov #JoCoKS #KSgov #ShawneeKS #LenexaKS #MerriamKs

Waymo privatized another public street: Chanel approaching 4th, San Francisco Possibly queued for a Billie Eilish show at Chase Center ~half mile away. The light rail train on 4th seen passing in front of this roboherd has more passenger capacity than all of them combined. OP: .tiktok.renaspam18

This is a good idea. A few years ago I interviewed three year round bicycle riders to find out what they wear in the winter. Their list may differ from yours or David's but is a good start. Check it out. e-bikekc.com/2019/11/06/b...

Tomorrow night, I am daring to cook a recipe I found online. Going to the grocery store to get the ingredients today was exhilarating. My kitchen repertoire is quite light compared to my 20’s. Now past 50, there is a strong urge to build new skills, try new things, step outside the comfort zone.

KC Current will face Gotham FC in the NWSL Challenge Cup next spring.

Today was lovely to ride bikes and shop for others. We had a great turnout as hundreds showed up to the event. We even set a new money donation record. Food donation numbers will come later! #CranksgivingKC

We’ve 100% lost the war on using phones while driving and it’s the worst.

Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other. Shared by @gizmodo.com: buff.ly/yAAHtHq

The DoE has reclassified numerous health professional and other degrees, limiting access to federal student loan programs eligible for the higher OBBBA loan caps from thousands to a few hundred. As ALWAYS, this is about $$. We're about to become REALLY "great"... shorturl.fm/xs7gY

I’m sorry that I don’t have anything intelligent to say right now because I am so fucking angry www.newsweek.com/nursing-not-...

If they're making it harder for nurses to afford graduate degrees and have already made it harder for nursing professionals to come to the US to work under visas, then who do they think will work the hospitals, the nursing homes, the outpatient clinics, the community health programs, etc? Who?

I would like to share something. A year ago, Trump won and I was furious and scared so I sent a text to a few of local women I knew and asked them to join me at a meeting and invite like-minded women they knew. A few showed up, then a few more. We became a group called The Salon and we meet monthly

“As pickups transitioned from farm/ranch workhorses to lifestyle vehicles, their design shifted accordingly: Cabs expanded to accommodate more passengers, while beds shrank. The first generation of F-150s were 36% cab & 64% bed by length. By 2021, the ratio had flipped. www.axios.com/local/housto...

This is one of the things I hate about forced car dependency (we were at a store in a car dependent suburb). There are very few options for independence and mobility... so those who shouldn't be driving continue to drive, threatening their own lives and the lives of everyone around them.
