Patient-blaming rhetoric is baked into alternative medicine. The idea is that if you could just... “Change your mindset” “Live naturally” “Eliminate toxins” (with supplements) “Resolve trauma” ...then you can avoid serious health conditions such as cancer.

I will choose my cat over anyone, anytime, and proudly.

After Tierra Walker died, her family was confused by her medical care. “They didn’t want to offer to end the pregnancy, because the government or someone says you can’t?” her aunt said. “So you’d rather let somebody die?”

Wondering what my cat wants for Christmas

Happy Indigenous People genocide celebration 🎉

Embattled reproductive healthcare providers and patients in the US are already dealing with unprecedented harassment and intimidation. The resurgence of blockades as a tactic carries significant potential for radicalizing participants to violence.

Well now I'm *really* sad I didn't see Stone Roses when they came through here a few years back.

Oh ffs shut the fuck up

imagine what we could be doing if the federal government wasn't actively trying to throttle the growth of this industry

Coworker: "I subscribe to the Prometheus theory of creation." Me: "Someone comes and eats your liver every day?" Coworker: "No, the uh, movie. Did you ever see that?" Me: "Clearly I haven't."

This man is clearly completely fucking insane and also extremely stupid, why is anyone listening to him?

Neighbors - you do not need anyone's permission to sound your whistle when you spot ICE. Nor do you need to attend a whistle training first. Here's everything you need to know.

This is much more eloquent than my "if you use AI you're a weak little bitch" spiel but then again I'm not the pope.

I think we can safely say that the Leavitt's brother called ICE on his ex, the mother of his child, and I have to say: I have no desire to respect, find common ground or share the country with these monsters.

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

9NEWS has obtained a copy of the Trump DOJ's request to take custody of Tina Peters. Colorado's Department of Corrections redacted a large portion of the request, claiming its disclosure would be "contrary to public interest."

Very interested to see the inevitable botulism litigation.

Have strep YET AGAIN and my mother is insisting I get saline spray with colloidal silver. If I'm ever truly sick I'm convinced that woman will kill me.

Everyone should read this story. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Sending an email to a firm who clearly has the entire week off.

I can't tell you how fucking annoying the rise and grind bullshit is in a small office where the staff is underpaid and the big boss is a narcissist who routinely watches employees through his live cameras. Shut the fuck up, you pompous little nepo baby.

3 infant #pertussis deaths this year in Kentucky. "Of the three infant deaths reported over the past 12 months, all three were not vaccinated, nor were their mothers." We first tested maternal vaccination for whooping cough over 80 years ago. It's safe & effective & might have saved these babies.

Disgusting. As a former bookseller, I find this appalling. It’s not DEI- it’s discrimination toward LGBTQ people and books. They are purging our libraries as well as work forces. open.substack.com/pub/populari...

We received a stunning letter (with something special attached) this week from a man incarcerated in Virginia. We want to share it with you all. Tldr: Books change lives. BOOKS CHANGE LIVES. And we couldn’t have helped this scholar without you. Thank you for your support.

Well THIS explains a lot.

At a fundraiser in the Bay Area with v educated and informed people and a few said, "Hey Fuentes and Owens have changed! They're really good on some issues!" Sigh. Don't sleep on this, folks.

It’s official. @dougjones.bsky.social will run against Tommy Tuberville for Alabama governor. www.al.com/life/2025/11...

Early this year, bird flu ripped through 80 farms in Ohio and Indiana. Using genetic markers, wind simulations, satellite imagery, property records and more, we found that the virus could’ve been airborne. By @natlash.bsky.social

I only have one diet 7up left and they're $10 for a 12 pack 😭

Tell Governor DeWine to veto SB 293, which closes the 4-day acceptance window for absentee ballots No one should have their vote thrown away because of postage delays- call or email the governor now Call: (614) 644-4357 (if mailbox is full, try again later) Email: act.commoncause.org/letters/urge...

My favorite artist.

I'm a weak-minded idiot who got bullied into law school because I was too dumb for vet school.

My thoughts on ABC news- Scientists, not political appointees, should be who advises the public on clinical guidance. RFK needs to meet with CDC career leaders and learn about the agency's responses to outbreaks and overall programs vs directing CDC website changes based on ideology not science

don't threaten me with a really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really good time

These people need jail

A lot of the people lamenting Marjorie Taylor Greene’s departure from Congress—and celebrating her as some kind of principled maverick—are going to end up eating their words when she reemerges in 2028 to help lead a pro-groper, pro-Fuentes “America First” faction of the GOP.

Ugh she's gonna run for governor

They are literally firing all the judges they think might grant relief. They just fired a friend of mine a couple hours ago. They have no shame. The bastards want an assembly line for deportations and nothing more; rubber-stamping bootlickers who’ll yes’sir at every new diktat to deny.

Just heard that after 27 years on Louisiana’s death row, Chris “Jimmie” Duncan is finally getting out. Not exactly sure when, but I’m told he’ll be home for Thanksgiving. This is wonderful news. Here’s my 2009 piece on the forensic fraud that got him convicted:

🚨BREAKING: Abortion is illegal again in North Dakota after the State Supreme Court reversed a decision from a lower court, allowing the state’s cruel and extreme ban to go back into effect.

ONCE AGAIN I must remind everyone that chiropractic tends to run in families and *all those families are unvaccinated* Stop going to these quacks.

Excuse to post a classic?
