Some vaccines like COVID and flu don’t stop completely stop infection.
But they do reduce the risk of getting infected and greatly reduce severe illness risk.
They are still worth getting.
Since they are not 100% effective it’s also wise to add another layer of protection by wearing a mask.

Charles Mills' The Racial Contract is such a brilliant book. Reading it for the third time, and I'm discovering new things. It's not an easy read at all but so rewarding when you mine each gleaming insight anew.

Au-delà des garanties d'anonymat, le fait de produire des statistiques sur les orientations politiques des agents de la fonction publique ne peut QUE mener à les jeter à la vindicte de médias ultra orientés, alors que la seule question est de savoir s'ils font bien leur travail.

The only other way to play this is to appear and then just read the list of forbidden words.
This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

I love this profile of a thriving Chinatown in Bamako by @rchason.bsky.social. The presence of ordinary Chinese entrepreneurs across Africa is always so much more grassroots and diverse than people might think if they only read 'Belt & Road' coverage
Inside a thriving Chinatown neighborhood in the heart of West Africa
Chinese migrants have created a lively community in the Malian capital of Bamako but the advance of Islamist militants has them questioning their futures.
