Earlier this year I saw a judge issue a bench warrant for someone in the hospital because they had a LITERAL HEART ATTACK and when their attorney objected and reiterated that they were IN THE LITERAL HOSPITAL, the judge said "this is no less important. They could have gotten themselves discharged."

Awful lot of people making passionate pleas and being outraged about "special education" who haven't worn a mask in 3 years.

Sometimes my doctor gets it right. They put "take as needed every night" on my sleep med instead of the ones who are all "it works better if you don't take it every night" - ma'am I need sleep every day, that's how humans work. #NEISvoid

I see no one....ok. Right.

What if all the apps put the alt text icon in the same corner. #a11y

"It is not clear when Taylor was diagnosed with COVID-19. The statement says that he 'battled and fought hard like the former track champion that he was, but the suffering that greatly intensified in recent days became unbearable.'"

It is fucking bullshit that a guy who can and wants to work isn't allowed to because then he wouldn't be poor enough to qualify for lifesaving critical care. But it'll be a cold day in hell before we merely accept the state of things like this as reasonable. And that's why we win in the end.

What. Not trolling, I don't know what any of this means. Halp.

We don't have to lie? Big if true..!

Ok but when you ask the pharmacist a question and they just look it up and read off the screen.

Going to need everyone who's cancelled subscriptions to #BoycottDisneyABC to spend that money on respirators and WEAR them.

Today, in 'What happens when ABA is used on children', we have the frankly shocking account of an eight year old boy. www.cureus.com/articles/361... At this very young age, he's already endured a parental divorce, ABA, other 'behavioural' interventions, restraints, and enforced mental health stays/

Why'd they have to go and show the number of bookmarks on a post? Was no one at bluesky actually on Twitter?

Disabled people deserve more than the bare minimum to survive (not that many even get that)... They deserve to have enough to try and find their best quality of life, to have support, and whatever they need to manage their health. They deserve to be and feel safe.

“I’m not getting less, I’m getting more long COVID referrals,” Faux said at the time. “I’m still seeing people from other states in my rooms because they don’t have access to long COVID clinics.” #LongCOVID

Can someone explain what chest wall compliance is at like a 6th grade level? Context and the whole internet aren't helping. Link is good too, I'm just not finding a good source. #disabled #MedSky #respiratory

Resisting the urge to point out a flaw in someone's well meaning metaphor.

The kind of thing you’d expect the “birth rate crisis” people to be trying to implement universally, if their concerns were sincere and not barely-veiled eugenics.

Anyone who doesn't have the specific eligibilities but is higher risk have luck with getting an early shingles vaccine? #NEISvoid #disabled

COVID is airborne. "during COVID" is yesterday, today, and all the foreseeable tomorrows. #MedSky #PublicHealth #SciComms #MedSchool #residency

The ABA industry continues to test whether its 'interventions' make autistic children hide being autistic. www.mdpi.com/2077-0383/11... is a new review of ABA based 'interventions' which uses e.g. the ADOS checklists for alleged abnormal behaviour/

Ok but can we have a little bit of algorithm here, as a treat?

20/20 😭 One tiny thing, the selection highlight continuing to the next question is suboptimal.

I think you'll find that this isn't true.

Bluesky, I want to have auto play for GIFs on and for video off. Not both or neither.

Masks and filtration would also.....

At one point Australia was something like 98% vaccinated. (Dose 3 or 4 I think) Vaccines aren't enough.

Maybe it's just me but "plotting a take over of the social internet" and "if you don't like it, you have the right to leave" don't seem to vibe together.

Sydney flight takeoffs paused as air staff call in sick. "Departures will be paused from 3:30 to 4pm to manage the staff shortage, Airservices Australia said. Takeoffs are also understood to have been spaced out by 4 minutes over much of the day." www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Just saw someone say self defense isn't violent and I miss when words meant things.

I have 3 things today and two of them are trying to spontaneously reschedule, for today. #NEISvoid

$100,000? So they don't really want to know then. Got it.

I should in no way be having to rewrite a note to my dr half a dozen times to make sure I don't come across as "drug seeking" That's really fucked up I've never abused anything, I've never had issue with stopping meds with reasonable tapers. Heck I took myself off a benz once bc I didn't need it.

There’s a ton of Covid out there right now. Vaccines are becoming harder to access. The rise of “wellness culture” encourages people to play through the pain. Please mask up. Stay home if you’re sick. Get your booster if you can. Clean the air & open windows. Break chains of transmission. Rest.

I think I forgot to rinse the conditioner today.

When the Black woman nurse is wearing PPE in the whole clinic and the white guy doc only puts on a pleated mask for the exam room.
