If you or your children haven’t received the flu vaccine this year now is the time.
Way too many children and adults with flu ending up on ECMO
Try not to be one of them.

It has never been more important in most of our lifetimes than now to make art that deeply offends and concerns fascists.

This is exactly what we hoped @graze.social would be used for - people standing up and creating feeds to keep their communities as informed as possible in fraught breaking news environments. Grateful to see it being used this way
Feed about ICE in Minneapolis and the murder of Renee Nicole Macklin Good, powered by @graze.social.

Back from vacation and @medsky.social is receiving reports again.
Priorities over the next few months will be fine-tuning the algorithms to better capture medically relevant and medical-adjacent posts, as well as rebuilding the self-labeling infrastructure. More to come on this.

it is the policy of this government to treat democratic-led states as conquered territories and the people therein as something like hostiles or even enemy combatants

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

If I were to ever to have a swearing in ceremony I’d use Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States
if i were to ever have the privilege of being sworn in to an office, i would choose a copy of Black Reconstruction
Strange takes on Mayor Zamdani swearing his oath on the Qu’ran. It has nothing to do with church & state. The point of the oath is for the person swearing in to do so upon some text that is sacred TO THEM. Some Presidents swore in w/o any book. John Quincy Adams was sworn on a law book. His choice.
