Enjoy other's art, photographs & literary efforts. "In the know" re: pandemic. Enjoy TV series such as Will Trent, Tracker, 911. A longtime viewer of the daytime drama, The Young & The Restless. Have met many of the cast in Vancouver at events here.

Kinda feel like this is the inevitable result of a society that thinks "defund police" goes too far Police learned that not only will they never be defunded, but they can demand every last penny tax payers have, and most likely, they'll get it

Dallas’ largest ever proposed budget relies on job cuts, privatizing services and reducing hours at libraries to offset the rising cost of the police and fire departments. bit.ly/45cKece

Unfortunately, we were right about him. His tenure at NIH has been the most destructive maybe ever. The U.S. has lost so much talent and been set back decades in research. He’s not there to restore trust in public health. He’s there to break public health in the service of the right-wing agenda.

“Out Of His Depth,” “Sold His Soul,” “Clueless”: NIH Staffers Speak Out About Director Bhattacharya

Widespread dissatisfaction over the NIH’s “continuous free fall” has people speaking out.

Healthcare workers belong in hospitals, not detention centers. Over 100 nurses rallied outside Maine Medical Center in Portland on Aug 5, forcing ICE to release Debora Kapisha on Aug 6. Organize, speak out, and demand permanent protection for essential workers. 🎥NowThisImpact

'You'll choke too' - an aerial embroidery landscape inspired by all the wildfires happening right now... I'm upset every time I smell smoke outside and somehow we have people starting them maliciously too! But we all breathe the same air so they'll choke too (1/2 - see thread for close-ups)

An embroidery hoop containing a sewn landscape from above. It shows a forest on the right, a line of fire and charred ground with smoke on the left. The smoke is felted wool.

I got the exact same response when trying to correct the deadly misinformation UBC was teaching med students about PPE. Dr Henry told them to, so that exempts them from having to think, or behave ethically. Banality of evil - "just following guidance" is the new "just following orders".

"But how *many* decades out of date is the misinformation @ubcmedicine.bsky.social has been teaching med students?" Review from 1945, citing a 1934 paper. Since UBC partially corrected their materials in response to my email in 2024, the answer is "At least 9." www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles...

7/7 The combination of drier ground, longer fire seasons, & changing land use is turning a decades-old contamination problem into a live hazard. The ghosts of Europe's past wars are resurfacing. Source: Sarah Njeri & Christina Greene, The Conversation US www.scientificamerican.com/article/euro...

Europe's wildfires are igniting forgotten WWII and Cold War bombs

Europe is full of buried explosives left over from 20th century wars, and the continent’s wildfires are now big enough, hot enough and last long enough to reach them

El-Sayed: "It means holding people like RFK Jr accountable for the DOGE-ing of our public health, for which we now need to be dodging lettuce across the state of Michigan for fear of getting explosive diarrhea, which nobody ever thought you be a consequence of electing Donald Trump, but here we are"

And just part of the cascading series of increasingly desperate double-or-nothing gambles by public health leaders trying to bury each failure under a bigger roll of the dice. That's 90% of the pandemic right there: Dunning-Kruger plus too much sociopathic self-interest to admit their mistakes.

🧵 For anyone wondering whether IPC and public health leaders are competent to manage Ebola, the answer is a categorical "no". Current WHO guidance, released May 17, 2026, is still based on the 5-micron error (p51 & 58), out of date since 1934. The quacks responsible should be in jail.

The GOP serves a rapist-felon, a sadistic tyrant who lives only to abuse people and steal and demand praise. Mere words cannot express how VILE the people are who choose to serve, obey and empower that evil POS. They will all pay. #nurembergonthepotomac

2. Is the #GOP attacking Dr. Fauci to distract from Trump's failed presidency? A look back at Trump 1.0 v COVID-19 “Donald Trump, repeatedly promoted the use of hydroxychloroquine in the spring of 2020, as both a preventative against and treatment for Covid-19." www.forbes.com/sites/joshua...

Trump Promoted Hydroxychloroquine, A Drug Now Linked To 17,000 Deaths

Trump promoted the use of hydroxychloroquine as Covid-19 treatment in the spring of 2020. A new study shows that the drug has been linked to approximately 17,000 deaths.
