Just the Commonwealth of Virginia shipping in PFAS from Maryland since they have regulations and we don't.
Biosolids, derived from waste, can be converted to agricultural fertilizer. By using it, farmers in Virginia may be unknowingly spreading toxic chemicals on their land that could end up in crops and the state’s waterways, researchers and community members say. virginiamercury.com/2025/11/24/v...
Virginia communities push back against sewage sludge on agricultural land as PFAS concerns grow • Virginia Mercury
As worry mounts about health risks from exposure to ‘forever chemicals,’ Virginia communities push for testing and limits for biosolids.

Laura Ann Singh’s new album is a unique, refreshing take on vocal jazz with bits of post-punk snark. “Mean Reds” is an unpredictable delight and I reviewed it for PopMatters.
Laura Ann Singh steers her reckless way through traditional jazz, torch song elegance, avant-garde experiments, and an anarchic sense of punk rebellion. #PMPick

I interview him when Kingdom Hospital was released in cinema, and carried on with a fashion spread, curating him into Visions of Excess in Brum England, Berlin travels, and lots of Palm Springs times in the early 2000s.

The Indian Health Service Is Flagging Vaccine-Related Speech. Doctors Say They’re Being Censored.
Officials have deemed terms like “immunizations” and “vaccines” risky “buzzwords” that require approval to be used in social media posts, pamphlets and presentations.
