We’re learning about outlawry in my crime class @viuniversity.bsky.social this week. Interestingly, women couldn't be outlawed in 13th-century England because they were never put in law. Instead, women accused of crimes were ordered to be waived. For more info, read this ⬇️

It’s one of my favorite pairs of holidays: Wolfenoot and Wayland’s/St. Clement’s Day!

I am only alive today due to multiple discrete episodes of medical interventions. I’d’ve died in childhood if it weren’t for advancing science. So anti-science stances bug me. There are many great multi-modal cares too, and I can support them. Not willful ignorance and misinformation.

A pediatric patient’s mum answered routine vaccination question with, “We don’t immunize.” Me: “Ok.” Her: “Thank you for respecting that.” Oh, honey, I absolutely do NOT respect that, but I am too professional to inflict my opinion on you in ED triage.

This is the way forward. www.wired.com/story/this-h... #PublicHealth #Leadership #Cybersecurity

this man has blood on his hands and everyone who supported him and excused him has blood on their hands and I do not want to hear a single fucking Democrat with any position other than "impeach and remove him immediately" he and his MAHA movement are child killers

Wonder how Ashley Todd is doing.

I am truly and genuinely so glad you asked! This site is a one-stop shop for reasons why ULINE sucks ass, and a massive link list of handy alternative companies AND a short blacklist of ULINE-alikes to avoid! refuseuline.com

FDA is approving a new form of nalmefene for “prophylaxis” for “opioid exposure,” specifically citing fentanyl. “Fentanyl exposure” is not a thing. Fent has to be intentionally ingested to cause OD. It’s being made by a “blockchain-focused digital finance company” whose “biotech arm” is only this…

Weird Wisconsin Please pass this bill, named after me, to require schools to purchase curriculum that covers information required (by state law) and is already being taught. #Wisconsin #wipolitics #wisdems #wisgop #WIGov

A graphic reminder: Trump ended US support for Ukraine. It is now borne by the Europeans.

the world used to be worse and we made it better and now people forget

Attagirl, Boudica.

Can anyone recommend a good text / source for sea monsters and imagined marine life in early modern period? Niche request. Cheers!

I had a Picnic Point all to myself for over an hour tonight with the northern lights, and it was glorious.

I love a meme targeted for my demographic

@sarahgailey.bsky.social Just read my Stone Soup! Congratulations!!

someone got indicted on the basis of “transporting antifa materials” for allegedly transporting a box of ZINES THEY’RE PROSECUTING PEOPLE FOR DOMESTIC TERRORISM OVER ZINES

I gotta give it up to the writers tho. If NYC elects a Muslim mayor on the day Dick Cheney died, that is one hell of a slow played story arc. Every time you want to fire 2025's writers room they give you a little narrative resolution as a treat.

I spotted this on Mastodon and I find it horrible, not least for the speed with which this has happened.

No, and also, fuck no. Permanent ban.

If you appreciated Teen Vogue’s incisive and vital reporting on race and culture, thank the Black editors and journalists who did that work. If you read their stories on trans youth and queer liberation and disability, thank the queer and trans and disabled writers who wrote them. It’s simple math!!

Important when talking about these things to not say they are "caving" and the like to fascism. They are collaborating, and eagerly in many cases. Nobody threatened Condé Nast with anything. Their readership was up. There were no financial reasons to do this, only ideological.

South Carolina schools recently sent home unvaccinated kids to stem a growing measles outbreak. It turned out 5 of them were infected and, if they'd been at school, could've unwittingly spread it to their classmates for days. That kind of precaution is now illegal in Idaho.

They gutted the Washington Post. CBS. NYT. Now Teen Vogue. The point isn't to bring in more conservatives. They've reached that saturation point. They are killing the fourth estate and buying up the social media to control the messages we see. These were all targeted to disarm the left of truth.

For any unfamiliar with the quality of journalism at Teen Vogue, it's well known for hard-hitting stories on "politically sensitive" topics including climate. Then there's CBS: the only major network to increase climate coverage in the last few years. They just axed nearly their whole climate team.

a lot of research on tear gas effects across the board was compiled in PDX during the 2020 action, mostly by someone who went by the handle Juniper Simonis haven't seen anything from them in a long time but they went deep into how it attacks everything, short and long term thank you wherever u are

Last night, the National Guard chased children who were out enjoying Halloween in Navy Yard. There is no valid reason for armed soldiers to terrorize children like this. End Trump’s occupation of DC. National Guard out NOW.

Deeply unexpected that one of the best exhibits of extraterrestrial gems and minerals is in the terminal of the Portland, Maine airport??

We are seeing not just a merging of different parts of the armed forces; we are also seeing a deprofessionalization. Competent people are fired. Those willing to break the law are hired. Normal practices are abandoned as the new force becomes more responsive to the demand for quotas & brutalization.

I’m sorry, if someone has a birth certificate that proves they were born here but a mobile app with face recognition software disagrees, they will side with the app? What?

Canada is on track to lose its measles elimination status as an outbreak that began a year ago continues to spread.

Fascinating - Unesco has launched a Virtual Museum of Stolen Cultural Objects, presented in a futuristic, dreamlike virtual exhibition. Worth exploring (although they don't tell much about how/where things were stolen, and its a very curious juxtaposition of items): museum.unesco.org

Hey, Alaska's been hit by a typhoon and no one is talking about it. Indigenous towns are in need of aid. People are missing and the gov't is still shut down. If any creators here are in affected areas, please drop links for aid. #mutualaid #crisis #alaska #typhoonhalong #helpourcountrymen

I already wasn't crazy about TJ because they have been known to rip off small producers (they start a relationship, get lots of data, them reverse engineer the product and slap their own label on it). Add this in and I'll never spend another dime there.

uh shutting down MMWR is, in no uncertain terms, crisis level damage for dissemination of accurate info throughout the medical profession

Just in case: MMWR is a key frontline indicator for outbreaks. The first subtle hint of AIDS was in that publication. This is the pale horse that Death rides.

BREAKING: Friday night massacre underway at CDC. Doznes of "disease detectives," high-level scientists, entire Washington staff and editors of the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) have all been RIFed and received the following notice:

This is the man that ICE just detained. This isn't about catching criminals, it is about Ethnic cleansing www.iowapublicradio.org/news-from-np...

In a sane society, this would be a deal killer. www.computerworld.com/article/4059...
