Jagged Little Pill is wall to wall bangers

Friends, cancer sucks. If you have any #mutualaid to offer, please consider helping my friend Makenzi, who’s undergoing surgery and chemo for colon cancer while parenting 2 kids under 5. Insurance won’t cover the scan that confirmed the cancer’s return. She’s starting this nightmare in debt.

FYI Bookshop.org has anti-prime free shipping rn!

And then the people trying breathlessly explain why they dont mask or take protocols anymore all the while trying to tout community care and mutual aid as a personality.

I knew we were cooked as a society when everyone just sorta decided they were sick of dealing with Covid and everyone just decided to pretend like it wasn't a thing anymore.

I thought I had three different eczema outbreaks. Turns out it’s only two different eczema outbreaks, plus shingles! 🙃 Again! I first had it in summer 2020. Feels like my body loves to deal with stress by waking up my ole pal Varicella-Zoster. #NEISvoid

Do I Dress for the Weather or Dress to Not Get Sexually Harassed: An Autobiography

Sad to hear of the passing of #DisabilityJustice activist and visionary Patty Berne. #SinsInvalid reminds us: “As we grieve, please care for each other in the ways Patty taught us: Check in on a friend. Cook a meal. Support someone at the edge. Practice Disability Justice in real time.”

"Do your best" means "Do your best that doesn't compromise your mental, physical, or psychosocial health." Give it 100% of your expendable resources Not 100% of your blood sweat tears ok be safe out there

Anyone in #NEISvoid with #Sjogrens have experience with cymbalta for neuropathic pain? Just got the rx (trying this in lieu of gabapentin because your girl can’t be an iota sleepier and still function) and nervous about throwing more meds on the fire, per usual. 😬

WashU’s #longcovid clinic is closing in a few weeks. Rumors that it’s bc the main attending is leaving, but there aren’t any MDs listed on the Infectious Diseases webpage anymore (and the clinic was hosted within that department). The Big Erasing continues, I guess.

Update: We've removed the paywall for all ye who enter.

yall the people in the streets need the folks at home too. they need people who know where they are, who will miss them, & who can bail them out. they need food, water, medical care. safe places to shelter. some of us aren’t built for physical resistance but that doesn’t mean you’re out of the fight

In the wake of RFK firing all of the CDC's vaccine (ACIP) advisors, American Medical Association delegates have "passed an emergency resolution urging Kennedy to reverse this move," & "directed AMA leadership to send a letter to the Senate Health, ... 🧵1/3 www.medpagetoday.com/meetingcover...

At the ICE raid and subsequent community resistance in Paramount, California this morning, this skater kid ate dozens of munitions from Border Patrol agents, walked away slowly and flipped them off.

This is so cool. I’m pleased to share version 1 of our new dashboard for displaying data from our wastewater metagenomic project. This is a collaborative projected between MU, U. Wisc, and SecureBio; funded by Inkfish and Open Philanthropy. 1/ lungfish-science.github.io/wastewater-d...

Hey where are we getting our national Covid data from these days, pals? I have local wastewater info I keep tabs on but if a gal wants to know wtf is happening elsewhere what does she do (other than lay down and die)? #NEISvoid

I was turned away at my pharmacy today from getting a Covid vaccine. Even though I was willing to risk a sore shoulder Makary and Prasad felt I shouldn’t have that right. They made the decision for me. My medical freedom and bodily autonomy meant nothing to them.
