just really mad about how a bunch of weak, scared people have undermined faith in science, medicine, and vaccines. they’re full of unwarranted anxiety and too stupid and fearful to realize it

As the old folk wisdom says…

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

Happy Sunday, lovelies! Sitting at $105/$805, TYSM! Only $700 to go to cover my rent that was raised this month. I am just a disabled queer trans artist trying to survive. Currently I can't secure a DD shift & need help staying housed.💙 💕💸🏳️‍⚧️ #MutualAid paypal.me/rookkilljoy CshApp/Vmo: foxrook

anyone who knew someone with pancreatic cancer knows how big of a deal this is

I decided to try and sleep with puppy. Failed miserably. She was all over the place. And of course used the kitchen for potty. I am so tired from being up since 10am yesterday.

Just fucking great

I should be sleeping but I am all aches. Thigh hurts. Don't know if it's from the T shot this week or something else. Ankle is hurting and foot is ice cold. Think I need a new comforter.

I’m a woman on antidepressants for whom they worked. I’m also pretty informed about medications. Are SSRIs perfect? No - no drug is. Do they work for every patient? No - nothing in mental health does. But they DO have a place in therapy and RFK’s opinions should NOT drive changes to that.

On this night 251 years ago, two men climbed Old North Church's steeple. They held high two lanterns as a signal from Paul Revere that the British were heading to Concord by way of the Charles River. Their famous “one if by land, two if by sea” warning ignited the American Revolution.

DON'T COME HERE.

 They kidnap people off the streets & throw them in filthy holes. They don’t care who you are.

 They don't care if you're white, either, if you think that'll save you.

 They have quotas. (It’s all about money.) THE US IS NOT SAFE.

 STAY AWAY. news.sky.com/story/englan...

Opening line of the excoriating ruling: “Unserious leaders are unsafe.” Oof.

The 4:35 p.m. start time corresponds with a projected window of improved weather conditions later in the afternoon and provides the best opportunity to play the game on Sunday. Tickets for tomorrow’s game will be good for admission at the newly scheduled time.

Breaking: HHS’s ban on gender-affirming care is struck down. Rarely have I read a ruling this sharply worded. “This case is one of a long list of examples of how a leader’s wanton disregard for the rule of law causes very real harm to very real people.” www.advocate.com/politics/nat...

Thou shalt round up the billionaire pedophiles and put them all in Alligator Alcatraz. Thou shalt shut down Fox News, NewsMax, and OAN. Thou shalt ban assault weapons.

"RELEASE THE OYSTERS!" should be the new battle cry for...well, everything, really.

The real villains here are her stepsons, who had ICE drag out of her home in her NIGHTGOWN & shipped to a Louisiana concentration camp. If ever two assholes deserved to be stalked & harassed for the rest of their miserable lives, it's TONY & GARY ROSS of ALABAMA. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/17/u...

I'm looking for applied tutorials on sensitivity analyses for NMAR outcome variables. Any favorite resources #rstats and #stata crowd?

Mental health is complicated. And psychedelics are doubly so. But this specific one is only being looked at because RFK Jr and other manosphere people like it. Broken clocks can be right twice a day, but the implications that are being reported are insanely overblown.

🆘DON’T KILL 🐶VERMILION Vermilion jumps exuberantly, he does everything exuberantly & they don’t like that. On intake he was “loose & wiggly, seeking attention, allows petting & exuberantly jumps on handler.” Since then, his exuberance has been a strike against him🤬 Why no video?💔 🙏repost 2find🏡

🆘DON’T KILL 🐶DUKE Police said Duke was friendly & wiggly; staff said very friendly, outgoing & wagged tail & thats pretty much all we know b/c there are few notes. He’s on death row b/c of bite incident @ home when grabbed by collar That’s not right! Not all owners are truthful 🤬 🙏Repost 2find🏡

Honey is having fun today. She walked by my sister and niece and then was in the yard for a bit. Just wish it was a tad warmer

Fuck yea! Dirtywater Sox beat Tigers 1-0 in the 10th

Extra innings in a nothing nothing game

There is a reason Trumpland keeps dropping lawsuits and that reason is called “discovery”

Dammit

I got a puppy under the comforter @floregonian.com

Fuck yes!!!

Chapman is...

An unprecedented number of US scientists are trading in their lab coats to run for office in the US mid-term elections in November. go.nature.com/3QePHLk

Whaaaaat!! Along with our own, including special editions, I have found these in bookshops from Aix to Kyiv. Always a joy to see how different bookshops do them.

Please I beg you On my hands and knees, I beg you STOP. USING. GENERATIVE. AI. TO. ANSWER. LEGAL. QUESTIONS. OR. GET. LEGAL. ADVICE.

Another Jan. 6 rioter pardoned by Trump will plead guilty in a separate case involving child exploitation of multiple victims. David Daniel has reached a plea agreement in connection with a pending charge of sexual exploitation of a minor and possessing sexually explicit images of children.

Going to start a conspiracy theory that the servers are down because Peter Thiel is attacking BlueSky from the inside so no one can talk about those two articles that dropped about him.

REMINDER: Trump’s One Big, Ugly Bill stole $1 TRILLION from our health care system, put 440 hospitals at risk, and stole the health care of 17 million people!

This is what you get today @floregonian.com

Painsomnia is strong tonight.

Incredible reporting here.

Demonstrators also demanded that Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand vote against Trump's alleged $100 billion request for his war in Iran.

ICE detaining doctors is absurd. Let me explain something: foreign-trained doctors get trained and practice in places where American medical graduates often do not want to go. They are not taking jobs from anybody. They go to undesirable locations and take undesirable jobs.

If the government is detaining doctors who serve underserved communities, the only conclusion left is that it is willing to leave those communities without healthcare.

If you see a doctor with an accent and think getting rid of that doctor will somehow bring you one without an accent, you are mistaken. The real choice is often a doctor with an accent or no doctor at all. Choose.
