Just experienced the most intense tear gassing of my life by federal officers outside the ICE facility in Portland where marchers gathered. There was no fast exit as they indiscriminately threw loads of gas and flash bangs. Children were in the crowd screaming. @oregoncapitalchronicle.com

I wore my "Read Banned Books" shirt today and the teller at the bank asked me what banned books were. I gave a quick explanation and example, but I feel I could have done better. I was surprised by the question and wasn't prepared.

What I use when I fight/do security is a minimum level of response, which is meant to minimize damage to humans and augmented humans and the company’s property, which means taking into account a lot of factors.

There is a new clinical trial that is recruiting for vulvodynia. This is a woefully under-researched aspect of women's care. Please help me spread the word. vajenda.substack.com/p/vulvodynia...
Vulvodynia isn't a Mystery. It's Underfunded.
A new clinical trial hopefully signals change

Disappointed that book club had to switch to virtual tonight. Happy to see someone who can only attend virtually.
If you haven't read Factfulness by Hans Rosling, Ola Rosling, and Anna Rosling Rönnlund, I recommend it.
