Ben Franklin, on why you should get your kids vaccinated:
“In 1736 I lost one of my sons, a fine boy of four years old, by the small-pox, taken in the common way. I long regretted bitterly, and still regret that I had not given it to him by inoculation.

If there are folks who would like to design a couple of "FUND OUR LOCAL PUBLIC LIBRARIES" posters, holler at me at niapoetry@gmail.com and please tell me your rate for this. Poster size would be 11 by 17 landscape size.
I need to print some posters for a forthcoming event.
BLUESKY IS A WEBSITE THAT TURNS (post by jay.bsky.team claiming that bluesky is made with AI) INTO (picture of bluesky not working)
SPLC is not a perfect organization, but this is fascism putting on its hobnail boots for a night on the town
I would submit that a gerrymander by politicians saying fuck the voters and one by voters saying fuck the politicians are two wholly different animals
Given the fact that I devote a full 6 weeks every other year specifically to the idea of voting rights, I have sincerely grappled with the idea of retributive gerrymandering. Like, earnestly. I think there are reasons to feel weird about it, and it's fair!
But this IS a sincere difference.
most gerrymanders are republican legislators saying fuck the voters
these ones are the voters saying fuck republican legislators
if anyone is interested

In the US, it’s National Library Workers’ Day, and I would be remiss to let it pass without reminding you that the “library workers are magic” narrative leads bad places. Love, respect, and cherish them, but also pay them, staff libraries appropriately, and let them draw boundaries.
Pretending library workers are superhuman leads to exploitation, by management and by external forces. It leads to burnout, high turnover, diminishing services to the patrons.
Yes, please show your support! Just treat library workers like human beings while you do it.
The Supreme Court found that a school acknowledging the existence of LGBTQ people was such a violation of freedom of religion that they had to allow opt outs but now the 5th circuit says kids being exposed to the ten commandments isn't. The law is such a joke.

just nauseated digesting the knowledge that a lack of shame over failure means a lack of will to want to do things well. and when you don't have standards to meet then you don't have intent or the mechanism to make decisions which means you don't have wants or desires. what are you without libido.
BAFTA pulling a trailer for an autobiographical game about surviving sexual assault only hours before it was said to be a part of a showcase is an exceptionally bad look.
They'll ban your art about sexual assault and call you a pervert for bringing it up

A reddit thread post in the type 2 diabetes subreddit, r/diabetes_t2, posted by user Organic-Category3118, published 1 day ago. The thread is a link to globenewswire.com; the link preview card shows the logo of a company called Speechmatics. The headline is "AI can now detect type 2 diabetes from listening to 15 seconds of your voice with 85%+ accuracy".

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have made a HUGE breakthrough towards a UNIVERSAL antiviral. By targeting sugar molecules found on the surface of many viruses that SHARE structural similarities, they identified FOUR compounds that successfully BLOCKED infections from SEVEN different viruses.
Cis women, it's us who does this flappy jawed foolishness the most and it absolutely must stop. Not being an immediate visual target for the exact same type of sexual harassment and violence women experience is NOT the same as having the 'protection' of the patriarchy.
really important thing in #alisaieoflight verse is how much it fucks both twins up that alphinaud is on the first for a year before the exarch gets alisaie. they're not the same age anymore. even when he gets back to his body she'll now be a little temporally off from the travel and they'll Know

As wealth concentrates, so does power — the power to influence elections, shape policy, tilt markets and define the terms of public debate.
Taxing billionaires is not radical.
What is radical is allowing a system where extreme wealth exists alongside widespread hardship.
She was granted withholding of removal from India *decades* ago, and had been living and working legally (including for the U.S. government!) ever since.
But with third country removals now a real option, TSA shared her data with ICE and they arrested her at the airport on her way to a job.
In addition to Zeta’s sealed past memories, their Fray is somewhat influenced by the ghost of their friend who is stuck possessing their body (they had trouble letting go of each other when he died and now their souls are fused together) . Nods very seriously. My haunted robot WOL
