My mother who has Alzheimer’s is in a care home nursing ward in the UK. Her predominantly immigrant carers are wonderful, gentle, kind, and humane people who treat her with dignity and respect. They are short-staffed, under-paid, work long shifts. They also support my Dad who visits daily.

I love that there is peer reviewed research calling ChatGPT bullshit so much 😭

An email is on its way out to our members regarding strategies for navigating cuts to federal grant funding. However, we wanted to share that information here as well. We have aggregated information for actions regarding NEH grants, which include broader strategies as well.

“I don’t know anyone with Long Covid!” I promise you that you do. Long Covid is an invisible illness. You won’t know someone is impacted unless they choose to tell you. Many folks hide their disabilities because the world is NOT kind to disabled people. Be an ally. Be someone we can confide in

Don't go to the archives eager to take as many pictures of material as possible "for later." The information is not (only) in the content of the documents. It is in their context--their arrangement, description, relationship to other material, use throughout time. Savor the time to unearth that.

RED ALARM on H5N1. Data dump late last night from the BC teen shows that the sequence has picked up the necessary mutation needed for adequate transmission among human hosts. It’s got PB2 E627K. The same mutation that 1918 Spanish influenza had. We’re going to have a pandemic. Buckle up.

Sad to see this ongoing wave of cuts in UKHE.

Really looking forward to this. The remedy samples include treatments for baldness and flatulence, if I can tempt you to come. The talk is also a taste of the project @rouge1767.bsky.social and I have been working on. #HistMed
