You’ll now be able to get an updated coronavirus shot in every state without a prescription, according to the American Pharmacists Association.

CVS and Walgreens have stated you won’t need to attest to any underlying conditions and the questions will be removed from their online booking system.

The mystery of medical diagnosis!

Anyone: Why are there suddenly so many AHDH diagnoses?
Dr. Jen: Same reason there are suddenly more stars after we built telescopes.

@tkingfisher.com , there was a VERY well-made Boneclaw Mother cosplay at this weekend’s Archon, don’t know if you’d find that interesting (not my photo or my costume).

Why I've become so intentional about what I draw attention to here: "what we notice, share & talk about influences what others notice too... it acts like a vote for what grows..When attention is poured into fear, it multiplies division. When it’s directed toward solutions, it multiplies possibility"

My personal timeline is full of autistic people trying to explain that there isn't more autism than before, it's just that we're better at detecting it, and there's nothing more autistic than hoping explaining something at length will help matters when nobody is really listening.

UK only deal but this is the first book in one of my very favorite romantic fantasy series featuring paladins and the practical ladies who find them exasperating--and then fall in love with them.

Snap it up while you can!

If you have two minutes free right now, call Netflix and leave a comment in support of this programming and ask them to stand up for their shows against political pressure.

Phone number is 1-866-952-4456, and I waited less than a minute before a human picked up.

1. Led by Elon Musk, the far-right has exploded in a campaign to get Netflix to remove shows with queer and trans characters.

If Netflix capitulates to their demands, an already strained market for LGBTQ+ animators might become even more dire.

Since many of us are cancelling streaming services, now might also be a good time to support writers and artists. Times are extremely tough for creatives, so why not buy a book, commission an art piece, sign up for a Patreon, tip your favorite creators. Everything helps.

It took just three days to get Sinclair to back down, and what it got in exchange for agreeing to put Kimmel back on the air was...nothing. This is not what happens every time you stand up to a bully, but if you don't fight back, you'll never know if you would have won.
