In Canada... 👇 Acetaminophen is a recommended treatment for fever and pain during pregnancy recalls-rappels.canada.ca/en/alert-rec...

Nice!

(I forgot to link the free version. Here it is: archive.is/rfoT1)

Here’s a free version. It’s well worth reading. Klein has an outsized opinion of himself if he thinks that he needed to write nonsense whitewashing Kirk’s legacy in order to sit in grief with people who mourned his loss. It’s absurd. Coates makes Klein look feckless and uninformed.

Waking to a gorgoeous morning and heading out to wander today around what is not at all a “war ravaged” city. Yesterday from at the Japanese Gardens for a presentation and inspiration to help a friend with their shrubbery + a bonus shot of the trees on the way down the hill:

The secret to pain management? 👉🏼 Reduce fear, stress & anxiety. 👉🏼Engage the BRAIN & all 5 senses, including touch 🧠 👉🏼Distract. 👉🏼Help patients feel safe. Soothe. 👉🏼Lower the brain's danger alarm. 🚨 Kudos to doctors who employ strategies like therapy dogs to lower pain volume 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙌🏼

If a government tells you that you can’t call it authoritarian, it’s authoritarian.

Profiles in cat She is apparently glad I’m home from traveling & stayed on my legs for the last 2 hours. As I started to post about how long she was under the comforter she left for the cat table by the window because of course she did. I’m free! (I loved every second)

More science good news!! A temperature-stable, single injection rabies vaccine is in animal trials and they hope to move to human trials soon. This would be a fucking game changer for vaccination programs!

The Griefers are gonna burn it all down aren’t they? While the right blames the left And the left blames the right.

Sadly, the CDC social media accounts are posting misinformation - #ObGyn + #MedSky + #IDSky. I will try and make this brief - we have five years worth data but I think I can summarize in a few posts.

For those of us without cable: @dropout.tv @crunchyroll.com And Brit Box (I’m still keeping Netflix for now)

Here's one thing you can do: a disney+ subscription is around 16 dollars. Go on Patreon/Kofi, find your top 16 creators/youtubers with less than a million subscribers and give them each $1 a month. Changes lives, believe me

In the 2010s, this country's elites were thrown onto social platforms with everyone else and could finally read what we all think about them and it caused them so much psychic damage that they decided to destroy both the internet and democracy to make sure nothing like it ever happened again.

The context here, of course, is that the “local broadcasters” Carr is egging on are actually huge conglomerates with a pending merger before his office that would give them (and him) vast control over all broadcast television stations

So much of prematurity is related to social determinants of health. And prematurity is so expensive and heart breaking (I have personal experience).

People legit yelled at me for 24 hours when I said it's extremely dumb to RSVP to a protest. Why hand your name over to a group organizing a protest/rally? Do you *want* to have to talk to the FBI? Treat anyone encouraging you to RSVP to a protest as a fed. End of.

The GOP is choosing to protect a bunch of old men who abused little girls. Choosing to. The GOP is broken. If you are supporting any Republican candidate with time or money or excuses you are also choosing to protect a bunch of old men who abused little girls. Shame.

This is important. The ONLY THING holding up the economy is the surplus income and discretionary spending of Boomers and high earners. EVERYONE ELSE is cutting back which is lending to a stagnant economy. In addition to us being in a no hire/no fire economy. We’re in a holding pattern.

“Antifa” is also not a thing. While there are some organized anti-fascist groups, being anti-fascist is like being anti-genocide or anti-starvation or anti-infectious disease. We don’t have to pretend “both sides” are always legitimate. Fascism is objectively bad. Everyone should be anti-fascism.

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

something about the brazenness of firing Kimmel one day after Colbert’s standing ovation at the Emmys is really getting to me. they know how badly this played for CBS with the industry and the public, and it’s chilling to watch them confidently declare that they simply don’t have to care about that

Just so I'm clear: TV host says we should kill every homeless person? No big deal TV host says the right must "go to war" with the left? Pfft. TV host says the government is cracking down on critics? Well, the government cracks down on him for the criticism. Free speech, everyone.

Polio is not some cutesy little disease, it is horrifying and if your child survives they are extremely likely to have a lifelong disability making their life much harder and more expensive. Only a ghoul would consider getting rid of the polio vaccine. #fireRFKjr #SacktheQuack

A complete collapse of political norms around virtue and ethics since 2016. This celebration of cruelty and violence, and the encouragement of the public to take joy in violence against others, is very unhealthy for society.

🧵 Why early warning systems like VAERS matter (despite what anonymous accounts may suggest): Not only did the huge rage-bait account immediately pose a snide meme about arguing with antivaxxers (presumably me, LMAO) on SM & then immediately double down, but the effect of their silliness is that...

just a casual reminder to those outside public health that RFK Jr. didn’t repair CDC’s offices before forcing staff to return monday because he wants the damage to intimidate and traumatize federal workers

You can just go to a protest!! It's not a wedding, you don't need to RSVP. But if you do and something happens at that protest and indivisible is (understandably) trying to save their neck, they'll give the regime your name.

Protesting the president of the United States and hurting his feelings is now a crime.

Do not put your name on any list right now (you shouldn’t have been before, but now you need to stop if that’s a thing you do) You can just show up. Don’t sign anything while there either.

there's always the nuclear option (emergency caturday). nothing's off the table, except for what she's pushed

We are on our 3rd carafe off coffee at the clinic. It’s 10:49

Yup! Cruel people believe they deserve the freedom to behave cruelly free from the consequences of their cruelty Entitled people believe they deserve only the comfort of capitalism never the consequences of capitalism, which they view as a punishment for people they view beneath them

That’s enough for today.

adding alt text. “These are folks who fundamentally do not understand vaccines in a deep way. I wouldn't take medical advice from them, and I certainly don't think they should be setting policy for the United States."

Matthew Dowd (MSNBC) lost his job for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s long history of hate speech. Brian Kilmeade (Fox) openly suggests we should euthanize the homeless and there is zero outrage. This is exactly why I'm disgusted with the state of mainstream media.

He says it low, but he says it

"When the rich rob the poor, the rich call it 'business'. When the poor fight back, the rich call it 'violence'." Mark Twain

For the record. My posts were not even about Kirk directly, but about America's apathy towards political violence, and the coddling of white male shooters and hate peddlers. I was fired because I mentioned race: white men and violence-- that was my "gross misconduct."

all of this makes me want to scream, but the part I'm going to be up all night rage-spiraling about is accusing her of "potentially endangering the physical safety of our staff" just flippin' those narratives right around so the Black woman, a TARGET of violent hate speech, becomes the aggressor

Democracy dies in whiteness

Trump saying “I don’t want to frighten off or disincentivize investment into 🇺🇸” is how you know he knows that’s exactly what he did by raiding the Hyundai plant and mistreating hundreds of South Korean workers

The Washington Post now has no Black Opinion columnists - none - at a time when white nationalism is ascendant in our nation. I am grateful to Karen for the truth and fearlessness her work has always shown. Keep shining that light, my friend.

The note referred to undocumented people as vermin.

Oh no, I have to make chili to go with all the bread I made. Darn… Woe is me… ❤️🤓

For the poor For the “not favored” LGBTQI For those who are not white For those who are not “real Christians” For unruly women For the elderly For the homeless For immigrants Basically, the opposite of what Jesus said = GOP Christian values
