Just imagining how much better it would be if ALL news stories about vaccine-preventable illnesses were illustrated with pictures of people with the disease, not pictures of needle injections. If you must show something that people will find scary & unpleasant, make it the disease, not the cure.
I'm so tired of measles.
I'm also tired of people using needle shots on stories like this.
Show what measles looks like.

Today is World AIDS Day.
AIDS has killed 44 million people globally.
Over the years, we've learned that silence and stigma are huge contributors.
Yet, the State Department sent an email to employees stating “The US Government will not be commemorating World AIDS Day this year.”
Silence = Death

I love how every artist has a different style that's wholly and uniquely them. even if ppl draw in the same general style, there's still just ✨something✨ about it that has the fingerprints of its creator and I think that's part of what makes art so beautiful

I just put rice in the taco beef to stretch it. While I’m glad my mom and my HomeEC II teacher taught me depression-era skills, I am pissed at the oligarchs for making me use them, and I REALLY don’t want to have to dust off any more. And god help us if I have to use margarine again.

Adults with Cerebral Palsy have an increased risk of anxiety and depression. We need to talk about how ableism, inaccessibility and lateral ableism play into all of that too.

Editors have a really hard job, and the good ones can make something unreadable readable, and the great ones can make something unreadable into something good. But they're basically invisible, until someone tries to write without one.

The reason the emails read like hot garbage is because they don't have to worry about being judged. These are not men who have ever poured over an email out of fear of not being taken seriously or not being treated professionally.
