The fight for fat liberation is the fight for everything Sheryl just said. All bodies deserve freedom, autonomy and safety
We really can fight for Black rights and liberation, for trans rights and liberation, for immigrant rights and liberation, for Palestinian rights and liberation, for Indigenous rights and liberation, for disability rights and liberation, all at the same time.

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at Stanford Medicine have devised an influenza vaccine that prompts immunity to ALL four major flu subtypes AND shows potential against bird flu, indicating a significant advancement in flu prevention and a potential increase in vaccine efficacy. Let’s talk about that! 🧪🧵⬇️

I know there's a whole lot more to what's happening in Syria, and a lot of it is concerning (and a lot of it is very hopeful), but this made me happy.
I wish more people in the world actually wanted this, but I'm glad to see it where it does happen.

fascism is stopped when enough people say one of two things:
1) "nah, I'm not doing that"
2) "nah, you're not doing that"
a lot of people want to imagine how they'll say the second thing, but you should *really* start practicing the first one

When we say love your neighbor, it's less about smiling at strangers and more about resisting dehumanization and protecting the vulnerable among us.

One of fascism's main tactics is to physically and mentally exhaust you. To flood the zone with outrageous bullshit, to make you bite on a dozen pump-fakes — so that when the real shot comes, you're too worn out to react.
We need to pace ourselves. It's only been a week. Alert fatigue is dangerous

Even when you feel uninspired.
3. Your insight is valuable.

I know everyone says this, but the amount of STUFF libraries have available digitally is just breathtaking. My library system here in Baton Rouge has thousands of Udemy courses available. And they're free! They're so free.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.
We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

If you have refills at the pharmacy pick them up
If you need an "elective" procedure maybe now is the time
Thinking about an IUD? Vasectomy? Tubal ligation? Maybe 90 day refills on OCP and HRT?
I'm not saying to create stockpiles
That doesn't help anything and creates a shortage
Get refills tho.

Someone asked me what I would recommend to someone to prepare for 2025 if you could only do one thing, and honestly it’s do anything possible for preventative care now.

I’m taking a “if you build it - they will come” approach to this starter pack.
I’m looking for healthcare workers who have a specific focus in women’s health, reproductive health and/or disability & chronic illness (or all 3!)
Open to all disciplines! The pack is small now but will add as I go:

You know it doesn't necessarily have to "get worse before it gets better." That's just some shit people told you often enough and long enought that you uncritically took it for true.
We could just work to be better.
