In case anyone would like to grab the archive of the reproductive rights website recently taken offline by...whoever is dismantling our health education tools, here it is:

ReproductiveRights.gov - Know Your Rights: Reproductive Health Care
While Roe v. Wade was overturned, abortion remains legal in many states, and other reproductive health care services remain protected by law.

AI supposedly going to save us all SO much time as we now spend so much MORE time verifying, correcting, researching.

It’s like how ATMs were going to lower the costs of banking HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Alright new policy:
- I won’t repost videos or pictures without investigating first.
-photos will be from photographers or scientists or normal people without a visible history of ai slop.
-animals that look super pretty will be verified to exist through iNaturalist or reptile database, etc.

Topple the patriarchy. Then we can get our priorities straight: healthcare for all, gun legislation, ratify & publish the ERA, actually end wars, force billionaires to pay taxes, end corporate tax loopholes…

…essentially, restore humanity and eradicate hubris.

Not only embarrassing, and theft of IP, but also complete and total BS coming directly from the White House. Gross
State-sponsored dehumanization, wrapped in a Christmas bow.

Every interview, Sam Altman tries to relate his baby, ChatGPT, back to whatever story he’s telling, but the one where he says it’s impossible to be a parent without it is real sad. A billionaire can’t figure out how to relate to another human without a suped-up search engine.

Jacob Elordi was asked about AI by Vanity Fair:

“I just have no interest in it at all, because it’s so f***ing boring […] If it’s your interest, go nuts in your garage; play around, build a robot. But as far as I’m concerned, I would much rather kiss on the beach, & read a novel, & be sunburnt.”

As an ob-gyn, you know the severe and even life-threatening harm the flu can cause pregnant patients—and the protection that the flu vaccine provides. This flu season, be an immunization champion. Strongly recommend the flu vaccine to your patients.

Unconscionable and unforgivable
An eight-decade partnership between universities and the federal government made U.S. science preeminent.

It took Trump less than a year to shred that crucial alliance.

Teaira Walker died because Republicans weaponized abortion to control votes. My mom was a single issue voter. Completely brainwashed by Republican and Church-crafted misinformation solely designed to capture her votes & money at Sunday mass (she went every day). #ERANow

Whose advice should US parents follow since ACIP is no longer legitimate?

My answer is in the article below.

“I would follow the American Academy of Pediatrics advice, as well as the Vaccine Integrity Project…The one group I wouldn’t trust is ACIP”.

For decades, state and federal govts have ignored the dire need to fund women’s health research & women ARE MAD.

We are not small men, ffs.

If the language needs to change, change it. Meet w/patients. Refine & PASS THE BILL. Do fibroids, endo, adeno, PMDD too. Increase funding while you’re at it.

Some say in this modern age of WTF, guys: The Apprentice got us here.

IMO, it was the glorification of mobsters and organized crime.

There are museums honoring men who r*ped women & destroyed their communities for power, control & money. Movie franchises. Tourism destinations. Fashion trends😳

What is lost in a lot of these headlines is the fact that these institutions are vanishing. This is a huge loss for everyone who may ever use a therapeutic medicine in the future. And it isn’t just limited to us unlucky Americans; destroying institutions like the US FDA will have global consequences
Four people familiar with the decision told Politico that Rick Pazdur, the top drug regulator at the FDA, submitted his resignation Tuesday, further roiling an agency that’s been upended by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Uhh, The FDA’s Top Drug Regulator Just Resigned
