Am teaching a course on Pain & the humanities this yr, and I can't stop thinking about this 1950 experiment conducted in New York hospitals and Cornell University hospital, where physicians burned the hands of women in labor (IN LABOR) to create a measure for pain/study pain thresholds. #histmed

“Hardly anyone dies from that illness, so why is preventing it so important?” Any death is worth preventing if possible, and it’s not only about whether you live or die, it’s also about helping you and the people around you prevent severe health outcomes and live the healthiest life possible!

Literally as I’m arguing with someone about whether AI companies are misleading people into believing their technology possesses God-like super-intelligence I see this monstrosity

If you're doomscrolling, guess what? So far there are 51 kākāpō chicks hatched and thriving this season, the same number of birds as we had in TOTAL in the 90s! Only one chick has died and there are still fertile eggs waiting to hatch!

“she began leading a virtual church service on TikTok live for people with disabilities and chronic illnesses who can’t attend church services in person. “having a space where we can be at church and not have to worry about making sure that everybody present has an N-95 (mask) on is great.”

This regime really hates disabled people. Aliya Rahman was violently dragged from her car by ICE on her way to a doctor’s appointment. She told them she was disabled, they didn’t care. She’s been arrested again for standing up at the State of the Union.

I can’t breach confidentiality… but I think I can say this much. I am blown away by the change I am seeing in people’s health in the clinical setting… since C19. It’s not subtle. It’s like one of those paintings with every bright colour thrown on it. It is very sad.

Keep masking #MaskUp

Also, you can have a PhD in immunology or biology & still lack grounding in sociology or disability justice praxis. This is where having humility & learning from others with lived experience & more knowledge in these areas is important

Voter fraud found in Georgia. Not by Democrats. Not by immigrants. By Elon Musk's America PAC sending out pre-filled absentee ballot applications. Every accusation is a confession.

Measles is a bellwether. Because it’s the most contagious vaccine-preventable disease, when vaccination rates drop, it’s the first to start spreading. Now we’ve got mumps rolling up. Expect more. This is just the beginning of RFK Jr.’s successful infectious disease reintroduction plan.

AOC on DHS Warehouses: I think every American should be alarmed. They are building—and have built—a black box system that disappears people, both immigrants and U.S. citizens alike.

For those keeping score at home:

I just saw a video of people outside a hotel where 🐧 is singing “it’s not to late to change your mind, show us your courage.” And it’s really hard not to start ugly crying after that. I am once again saying Minnesota has stolen my whole heart.

I finished a year-long knitting project this week! #MaskUp

This is one of the most important cases that galvanized Black people in the late 40s through the 1950s. Almost every major Black leader had a comment about it. It is also one of the most successful defense committees that was organized in the 20th century. Almost no one knows about it today.

ICE tear gassed a bunch of children on Saturday. This was a massive escalation of force. They were shooting tear gas at the back of the crowd, it took these unmasked people maybe 3-5 minutes in the cloud of tear gas to escape in without trampling. www.theverge.com/policy/87278...

exactly. this is not difficult. as.ft.com/r/58ed1b23-d...

I will keep saying that the MAGA are as much as a problem as Trump. It’s a movement unpicking science (antivaxxer/pro-infectionist) and Christian nationalism. You can read more about this here www.christiansagainstchristiannationalism.org/statement

Still masking, every other person at the office was sick last week. #MaskUp

Why am I suddenly filled with glee after reading this?

Every legal story now is either Ancient Circuit Judge Delivers Crystal Clear 100 Page Rebuke To Trumpist Overreach or In Unsigned Shadow Docket Decision, 6-3 Majority Declares Trump Can Hunt People For Sport

Taekwondoin Tina Sugandh and her black belt kids, who always compete in their masks, warn about #LongCOVID— why they support #MaskTogetherAmerica and @publichealthaction.bsky.social. “This is for all that say you can't compete to your fullest potential at athletic events with a mask on.”

Wearing a mask in the cold to shovel snow keeps my face and my inhaled air warmer. #MaskUp
