I don’t mean to sound extreme, but I don’t think we should have torture camps for people with criminal records either.

I grew up in a house where we did stockings. My husband didn’t. I had an empty stocking once but figured out why and now send him out for stocking goodies on purpose.

Hey #medsky it’s time to stand up for trans rights. The option to be “non political” is gone when the basic practice of medicine is under attack from one party.

My 4 year old was singing about a pink pony club yesterday. I thought it was a new song she heard in preschool. She wanted to hear it on my phone so I pulled up the video. Oh. Not exactly what I had in mind.

$41 million: The amount of money we’ve raised for indie bookstores since 2020.

Dam been writing a book about this and she just TikToked it in 90 seconds.

Remember the West Wing episode after Bartlett was shot and CJ listed *all the other people* shot that day and closed with “lest anybody think a gun would have prevented these crimes, let’s remember that the President was shot while surrounded by the best armed bodyguards known to man.”

In spring 2020 we got 8 chicks, identified for us as hens. We named them all after female characters in HP (would not do so now). Three of them, Minerva, Lily, and Petunia, were actually roosters. Turns out, sexing creatures at birth isn’t foolproof and you should let them tell you who they are.

Yes please!

My husband continues his streak of being a terrible luck charm during any game he attends in person. Now passing the disappointment on to the next generation.

It doesn't matter if they are ever coming for you.

It was always ever already too much that they were coming for anyone.

End stage renal disease disproportionately impacts underserved communities, and requiring $35 copays for each treatment means that patients who barely have the ability to make ends meet will need to pay $5k a year just to stay alive.

This is pure evil.

AND. IT. WILL. KILL. PEOPLE.

The reason why trans rights became an issue was because the US far right stumbled upon the potential virulence of transphobia and realised it was a useful wedge issue to undermine all the progress in rights for women and minorities.

Reading a book with a two dad family is not getting sex lessons.

If you actually read the book, the reason Chloe is upset about her favorite uncle getting engaged has nothing to do with who he’s marrying but b/c she fears that he won’t be as fun with her. It’s a very normal kid reaction and she would have had it if he’d gotten engaged to a woman.

That’s what will have to happen. Single doses are more expensive, so some places just won’t be able to afford to offer them at all, so fewer people will get them. It will only hurt people.

But the primary uses ranked choice. Yes, it’ll take a while to count up all the second, third, fourth, and fifth choice votes, but there won’t be a head-to-head run off and the math strongly suggests Mamdani will still win.

This is not only untrue, it is the exact opposite. COVID infection in pregnancy is associated with double the rate of stillbirths. COVID infection before or during early pregnancy is associated with three times higher rate of miscarriage.

Your 3 yo can throw, though.

As a @twinsbaseball.bsky.social fan, who are 1-9 in their last 10, sometimes it’s hard listening to my husband whine about his 1st place team. But yes, what an awful slump. I’m soooo sorry your team sucks.

Don’t tell @sm-tommasini.bsky.social that it’s only $20. My tab at The Blue Store is just ridiculous.

Is there a way you could link your stories to open in the app? They always open in a browser, which requires me to log in every time. Or is it a setting I can change?

No money for Medicaid or SNAP or museums or schools or sidewalks or gun violence prevention or art or libraries.

Always money for war.

May every single human being on this planet be safe.

May every single person be protected from harm.

May we bring into being a time in which we are all free from those who do evil— together, speedily and in our days.

Republican plans to cap student borrowing could shatter an everyday profession One GOP senator said anyone paying more than $100K to go to med school is "making a huge mistake." But the median cost of attending one is more than double that for the class of 2025.

There are 100k students in med school each year. Room and board is about 100k per year. For 10b a year, med school could be free. We would see a wholesale change in the profession, career paths and the cost of care.

It would change the economics for every financial decision doctors

People don’t believe Long Covid is real because they can’t face it.

If they face the reality of how disabling COVID can be, they might be forced to adjust their behaviour.

They might be forced to admit we aren’t “back to normal” and the threat as not passed.

The denial bubble would burst
