Lawyer @leejamiller.bsky.social talks about using humour to fight fascism. She looks at historical movements & present day #activism, what works & what's missing.

"Mitochondrial challenges"? This is even worse than the doc who swore he could tell blood pressure just by looking at a patient from across the room!

Ending prison for teens might seem like a pipe dream in the age of Donald Trump.

But when it comes to girls, who are less likely than boys to commit violence, this fantasy could be closer to reality than you’d think.

It doesn't take much skill to birth a human? Maybe we need to review what #mom really means! Check out this thoughtful, activist, food-growing, bee-keeping, creative mom. Now it's a positive from the left, Angela!

Sooooo much is missing from the DSM criteria for #autism! It's frustrating, especially for high masking people and AFAB folks.

Again @elizabethemay.bsky.social impresses! Concise speech, but very clear on values and the role of the Speaker in Parliament. The mention of Jack Layton was classy, too.

An old study i did that im bringing back for her. Loretta Swit was an icon and made Margaret Houlihan one of the best women to ever grace your tv. Character of all time, most beautiful woman in the world ✨️
