Mamdani talking lucidly and passionately about trans rights and history in a video that should frankly shame every politician who has hemmed and hawed and triangulated and said, "Well, but sports..." It's not that hard to tell the truth and stand for what's right. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEvV...

My family has all gotten our shots. The risk for us is real, given my partner is immunocompromised and has had sepsis twice in as many months from common bacterial infections. I don't want to see what the flu or COVID-19 would do to her.

As usual, people are worried about the wrong things.

You're far more likely to die of a viral or bacterial infection (350k fatalities in 2024) that goes septic than you are in a car crash (around 40k fatalities).

We've been to the ER twice in the last month for sepsis. Because my partner is immunocompromised, any minor bacterial infection will lay her out. Each stay was 3-4 days, which sucked, but it's certainly better than the alternatives.

Please learn how to recognize the signs of sepsis.

Know the lingo of ER nurses, like "sepsis pathway." It should be triggered when a patient exhibits low blood pressure, low heart rate, and/or a high temperature.

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day?

Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

Me in January: "No need to buy tomatoes, six months ago I had more than I could eat!"
aschrock.bsky.social
I should do the same...

At the end of the summer growing season, I'm basically now living in denial, thinking that I'll never have to buy tomatoes again and the tomato party will keep going forever

Sounds necessary... hope you have a big bucket!

This is a drum I have been banging for a few years with those who do administration: the "blowback" you are getting about a particular online thing is often more perception than reality, and the more national that blowback is the more likely it is that it's an astroturfing campaign. ...

*A Republican lawmaker objected to reference to Charlie Kirk holding “often racist and controversial views” in local Alaska news
*The corporate owner took down the story and edited it
*The journalists resigned

This feels like more and more of our media now.
