Yeah, I'm real tired of this narrative that disabled people "enjoyed" lockdown. Lockdown sucked. It just sucked less than dying of COVID, a thing the abled world doesn't care about anymore.
I'm also tired of abled people mourning their time in lockdown more than they mourn the 1.2 million dead.
There’s no routine screening for pancreatic cancer, most cases aren’t operable, and the five year survival rate after diagnosis is around 13%. It’s a traumatic news.
But new personalized mRNA immunotherapy is showing encouraging results in Phase 1 clinical trials.

I had a lot of fun researching this piece, and I learned a few things too!
Thanks so much to everyone who offered a suggestion when I put a call out on here a while ago. This was truly a team effort.

My first phone was also latched to a wall jack, but it didn't have a very long handset cable. In fact, it - and my second phone, which was my also first as an adult - belonged to the phone company. It wasn't until my third phone that I had to provide the device myself. Oh, and they had rotary dials.
These companies cannot train their new genAI models without masses of other people’s data, and they are *running out*. This is just one more way for them to turn their users into raw material to satisfy the needs of their digital sausage meat generators.

An employee at the eye doctor said his day was greatly improved because he overheard me say that there's a subreddit just for cats with airplane ears, so just in case you don't know: there's a subreddit just for cats with airplane ears. www.reddit.com/r/airplaneea...
Yeah, fair. The CAPTCHA is still bs, though.
That's when I just tag it as spam. Sometimes I don't even try to unsubscribe first.
Trump wanted to kill off PBS & NPR by defunding them. It hasn't worked as intended—viewers came to their aid & now a fed'l judge has held Trump's executive order unconstitutional. We also look at why Trump might dislike public media & a Muppet named Donald Grump.

David Kurtz makes a perhaps obvious, but nevertheless very important point: Trump isn’t a normal president getting upended by business cycles and trends outside his control. All the challenges/crises facing the US economy today are unequivocally the results of Trumps actions. This is all on him.
I'm very excited that Gritty is in the playoffs. He really deserves this and is going to be totally uncool about it and I'm here for every minute.
It's now been six years (and a couple of weeks) since @rjionline.bsky.social got behind me and the idea of better gun violence reporting to launch @pcgvr.org, which has come a long way with our incredible, staff, funders and other stakeholders. Of course @billy-penn.bsky.social was there to report:
I didn’t know this, did you? Amazing!
Stop using Substack.
This is a hard story to read. Imagine being asked to ignore a dead coworker to maintain productivity that further enriches shareholders.
What would that do to your mental health? How could you return to work the next day?
The human costs of our late-stage capitalist economy are all too real.
Yanking perv-glasses off of pervs' perv-faces ought to count as self-defense.
Viktor Orban accomplished so much of what the Trump movement wants to accomplish here
he ruled for 16 years and rewrote the rules in his favor
and still, they threw him out
and you know what? they did it by voting
don’t let anyone tell you voting doesn’t matter
Super Typhoon Sinlaku is now peaking at Category 5 strength and is likely to make landfall on Saipan in the Northern Mariana Islands in about 36 hours.
The Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands is a US territory. They're going to need all the help they can get after this storm.
Screenshot of text post thread from Threads: schechterelizabeth I've heard that there was a very special payload on board the Integrity capsule. A 1 inch square piece of canvas from the Wright Brothers plane, provided by the Smithsonian. A piece of Challenger. A piece of Columbia. Tonight, the Wright brothers have flown higher than they ever dreamed possible. Tonight, Challenger made it safely into space. Tonight, Columbia finally came home. saganstardust One more: the flag from Apollo 18, who never got to go.
I knew about the canvas, but not about the rest. 🥹 #ArtemisII

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful.
They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone.
Don't fall for it.

I'd really like to see leadership calling for impeachment and removal, regardless of whether they have the votes to get it done. Same way we called for marriage equality before we had the votes. A leader's job is to lead. If a genocidal threat isn't impeachable, then nothing is.
