“I fear for public health in our country.”

Former CDC Chief Medical Officer @drdebhoury.bsky.social says that the national US public health system has been subjected to a “hostile takeover” and she’s right. We should all share her fears. Kennedy must go.

guards ignore—but are trained—that withdrawal is a life threatening condition, and ignoring someone in withdrawal is both deliberate and indifferent

the fact that they were *wrong* about this person’s emergency doesn’t make their conduct any less deliberate or indifferent

A lawsuit alleges a Black postal worker died after officers ignored clear signs he was suffering from a massive stroke, believing his medical emergency was drugs

The suit says guards left him helpless on a jail cell floor in his own urine for hours

Mary Retta on the Trump admin's attacks on higher ed and diversity itself, from the "compact" to their hostility enabling colleges to seemingly stonewall their unions and dispose of roles @teenvogue.com

"I think the numbers of Black and certain other minoritized students and faculty will decrease.”

How The Trump Admin's Attack on Higher Education and DEI Are Impacting Campuses

Several colleges throughout the United States have eliminated funding, offices, and even staff associated with "DEI" — inspired in part by the Trump administration’s bluster.

c.e. chant/hades 💀🐊 💬 too many comics @portaltohades.bsky.social · 9h

I apologize but I have a silly request. Could I sell 2 art books? Im attempting to leave the house by going to st augustine with mom and I'd love to get some jerky and popcorn. It's not a necessity, I will survive without them! But it's tradition to get them there. Thank you!

c.e. chant/hades 💀🐊 💬 too many comics @portaltohades.bsky.social · May 20

I have an art book for #tyreecomic ! It's 62 pages at $10! Not only does it have art but I have some brief guides into my page process as well. There is even stuff I havent released publicly in it! It's a great way to support me currently and get a glimpse into my obsession

ko-fi.com/s/f5c5cebbd6

Tyree art book cover featuring various drawings and sketches of the main trio

Art book page featuring Chicahua and Cuicatl. Dialog reads: Cuicatl is the name of Chi's deer. He's a complete bastard to everyone but Chi. He is well known among the nobles for being the deer that bit the king on the ass. He loves Chi and only Chi.

Tletl's art page featuring various drawings and a sketch of her. Text reads: Tletl is the enteral lit flame of Kopitl. The ADHD daughter of the Sun. Her hair moves like fire.

Meztli's page from the art book. Text reads: Meztli, the mood goddess, is viktor's mother. xei calls viktor "Little rabbit" because of Meztli's affinity for rabbits. Her vitiligo changes with phases of the moon. She keeps a rabbit charm that maurice had made for her.

Masking in public, especially when you're indoors or around a lot of people outdoors (such as at a concert/protest or other crowded event), is a really easy way to 1) show solidarity with disabled and chronically ill people and 2) not get anyone sick.

COVID is still here and still dangerous.

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

just being straight up 100% serious that if you are cis you should have to either pass an oral exam on whipping girl or secure the signatures of 40 trans people, one of whom is julia serano, before being allowed to shove trans shit into your tv shit

apparently the new Netflix show Monster: The Ed Gein Story invented an "autogynephilia" backstory for their serial killer (because of course they did!). so time to re-up my collection of writings on this pseudoscientific zombie theory...

They have fired the staff of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report and 70 Epidemic Intelligence Service officers, who are disease detectives that respond to outbreaks around the world.

I cannot emphasize enough how dangerous it is to dismantle our disease surveillance infrastructure.

Three people protesting outside the Portland, OR ICE facility, dressed in inflatable frog costumes, holding a small sign that says “Portland Frog Brigade”.

Over top of the photo is white text reading: “Exodus 8:2-6 "But if you refuse to let them go, I will plague your whole country with frogs... The frogs shall come up on you and on your people and on all your officials."”

Around 100 protesters here now, the crowd is growing in advance of 4pm demo planned.

State trooper Bradley again warning people they can protest but if they set foot in the road (note: this is a driveway) they'll be arrested.

Another fed vehicle departs.

And last but definitely not least, it's Mr Vietnam who has managed to combine the traditional and beautiful look with wearing a tree on his back, which is something that I very much appreciate (especially in a year with a very low level of insanely large looks)
