Listen to the response to this and look how easy it is to say it.

My friend @careyjones.bsky.social was lying on her bathroom floor when she learned a geneticist had found the cause of pregnancy vomiting AND a treatment with existing medication. Amazing right?! But the clinical trial couldn’t get funded - too female. So she started fundraising for it herself:

hi darth! I read about an incredible researcher who cracked the code to understanding morning sickness, and her followup studies couldn't get funded. I have no medical background but started a crowdfunding campaign and we've raised 750K of the 1.3m we need! fundraise.givesmart.com/vf/PregnancyR

“following rumors of his death donald trump held a press conference announcing extrajudicial killings of civilians and plans for a military invasion of an american city” is a perfectly factual headline that could be used to describe what we saw yesterday

I hope people read and react to this idea: what if climate policy focused on flooding the planet with cheap, or free, solar panels? Globalize China and India's panel factories, buying panels by the boatload and just offloading them at every wharf on earth billmckibben.substack.com/p/a-modest-p...

Love @conversationalist.org for always having intriguing stories from around the world; I never know what I'll see on the front page, and this is a really illuminating story about supermarkets in the Global South.

Washington Post: “Is fascism bad? The answer may surprise you” Teen Vogue: “Here are three fun tips you can use this summer to disable an armored personnel carrier”

“The president cut your health care so he could build himself a golden ballroom” is a pretty easy message to sell

Holy shit, they did it. They wrote the headline.

New merch just dropped at the Abortion, Every Day store 💅 www.bonfire.com/store/aborti...

I truly intended this just as an email and not a public thing but fuck it we ball. The New York Times is not alone in its culpability but it is deeply culpable and its near-monopoly status in our blighted American media ecosystem allows it to do what it does.

This is excellent reporting by Jaya, as usual. Restaurant margins are already incredibly thin. And finding consistently cost effective menu items while trying to build a roster of regular customers is a huge challenge. Also fish sauce at $8 up from $3. JFC.

Absolutely devoured this book. I didn't know a tale of crippling student debt could be such fun. Highly recommend!

The Payback is out today, and you can buy it wherever books are sold. It comes highly recommended by Publishers Weekly, Booklist, The Boston Globe, Vanity Fair, the LA Times, the NYT, and dozens of people who hang out on this very website.

Today we published our 2nd story in an investigation into the backgrounds of 230+ Venezuelan men Trump deported to El Salvador. We did a first ever case-by-case analysis and found half were in the middle of their immigration cases, including dozens seeking asylum. www.propublica.org/article/vene...

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

@atrupar.com there’s a Musk Watch-esque opportunity to amplify all this from a trusted source

Publish it again. Every journalist who has published Epstein stuff before should just publish it again.

not me crying in a webinar finding out that my pregnancy experience (six years ago) met the clinical definition of hyperemesis gravidarum. would've been nice to know at the time!

Given the culture around pregnancy sickness, it is somehow predictable, unfathomable, and infuriating all at once that a big name researcher cannot get NIH funding for clinical trials for a promising intervention with a strong basis in prior findings.

Watching a webinar with @careyjones.bsky.social and Dr. Marlena Fejzo on pregnancy sickness research, I'm noticing how many women describe their experience as "horrific, but not bad in the scheme of things"; "destroyed my life, but others had it worse." (I'd put myself in this category, too!)

My mom and stepdad are from the same diaspora group as Zohran Mamdani’s dad (same like “my stepdad was kicked out of the same town and knows some of his classmates”) and apparently the New York Times doesn’t understand how diaspora works, so I am going to tell you a little about my mom’s people!

There really is something special about what Zohran and Brad are showing the rest of the world what it still means to be a New Yorker and an American. A Jew and a Muslim modeling a politics of mutual respect, rejecting cynicism. Human decency has been taking a beating but she's not out just yet!

Every single one of them better line up behind the Democratic nominee ASAP. Every single one.

I rarely post personal things. But I need to talk about my 4-year-old niece, Hope. She has a rare disease. A drug called elamipretide has helped her survive. But the FDA recently denied its approval. Now, her health hangs in the balance. Please share her story & urge the FDA to reconsider. 🧵

Some people get into journalism because they’re skeptical of power, and others do so because they’re impressed by it. Moments like this are clarifying with respect to who’s who.

I think a good rule of thumb is if your preferred source of news referred to yesterday's protest as "tens of thousands" and not "millions", you need to find a different news source.

You can always count on The New York Times to minimize the scale and impact of protest. Yesterday's 2000+ No Kings actions smashed records for the most demonstrations in a single day. So the Times decided to publish a horseshit map of just a handful of "confirmed locations." We're not fooled.

The fact that Indivisible took the approach that empowered people to work together to start protests where they live rather than travel to a central location/big city to protest is a game changer. It mixes convenience with pride in your hometown, and the great benefit is building communities.

No man, this is what happened stop lying

For years, I've long said that climate.gov's team of remarkable communicators (& their amazing blogs, which were accessible but did not "dumb down" the science!) was NOAA's best (& most cost effective!) public-facing extreme #weather / #climate education effort to date. This will be a huge loss.

Gather round, friends! Did you suffer from morning sickness during your pregnancy OR do you care about women’s health OR do you want to feel enraged*? Well have I got a thread for you! *of course you do, you’re on Bluesky 1/

Hello world! We are Autonomy News, a new worker-owned reproductive justice news outlet cofounded by @garnethenderson.com and @susanrinkunas.com. Our reporting will never be paywalled, and you can support our work with a subscription to keep it free for everyone.

Carey says it's "absurd that a group of concerned citizens have to fund this research ourselves, but when private and public streams of money haven't come through, crowdfunding might be the only answer." FAIR POINT. She’s raised half a million dollars. If you’d like to pitch in, link's below /fin

Anyway. Since pharma won’t come through and institutional/government funding won’t come through and psycho billionaires won’t come through, my friend @careyjones.bsky.social has decided to crowdfund the money necessary for the trial. 9/

*if you are genuinely asking these questions about Musk, the answer is “probably a tie between misogyny and eugenicist thinking” 9/

But what about Mr. Sliding Sperm Into Your DMs? Isn’t Elon Musk a “pro-natalist”? She just needs $1.3 million, doesn’t he make that amount in the time it takes him to sneeze? Why doesn’t he solve this problem*? 8/

Pharma’s not interested because metformin’s not profitable enough—the generic’s already out there. 7/

Women’s health initiatives see Dr. Fejzo's proposal and go “giving MEDICINE to PREGNANT PEOPLE? NO THANK EWWWW” (paraphrase, may not be 100% accurate); but Dr. Fejzo applied for one grant and got turned down because there was no one on THE WOMEN’S HEALTH PANEL who DEALT WITH PREGNANCY 6/

And this isn't a “Trump has gutted all science funding” problem. This goes back to the fact that pregnant women are often excluded from medical trials (did you ever try to figure out what meds were ok to take during pregnancy and every drug was classified as “who knows?” Yup, this is why) 5/

Seems like it should be a no-brainer for her to set up a trial, given all this, except that— SHE CANNOT GET FUNDING. 4/

Did you know that, based on the mechanism Dr Fejzo identified, she believes that metformin—which has already proven innocuous in pregnancy—could be used to treat HG? (HG also, btw, leads to a 34% miscarriage rate, ~$2.5 billion/yr in emergency room care, & 1 in 4 sufferers report suicidal ideation)

So remember how Dr. Marlena Fejzo was a TIME woman of the year in 2024 for figuring out the mechanism that causes extreme morning sickness aka hyperemesis gravidarum (affecting 1-3% of pregnancies and often causing hospitalization, a la Princess Kate)?

I’ve been on a crusade to get this research funded for the last 7-8 months. Please read and amplify.
