Health is inextricably linked with politics. Democracy requires participation. Not playing Russian Roulette with Covid. Opinions my own. #LongCovid
- AI is so full of errors, it is absolutely ridiculous. Anyone who thinks that AI is something that is anywhere near ready to be unleashed on us is a fool.
- My husband mistakenly put some apple cider vinegar in the kettle, and oh boy was the resulting coffee a shocking experience 😱
- The statement “TB was ruled out with a negative Quantiferon test and negative acid fast bacilli sputum” makes me insane. TB is not “ruled out” by any of these. It can be made less likely. A negative Quantiferon NEVER rules out active disease. It’s a screening test to look for latent TB.
- Texas GOP going full authoritarian by writing into an antiabortion bill that its constitutionality cannot be challenged in state court. Any state judge who rules on the law can be personally sued for $100,000. Great democracy we have here. www.kbtx.com/2025/05/12/t...
- Hey, I wonder if we could get this guy deported for his tattoos
- I am relieved that society is starting to take bullying seriously. I got bullied mercilessly in elementary school. I remember crying almost every day as a child. It has definitely had long-lasting effects on how I see myself and how I function socially at home and outside.
- Happy Mother’s Day to everyone out there who no longer has a mother, and that makes them sad on this day.
- This is an extraordinarily apt little skit about the far right these days
- I fear matters are at such a pass many Americans would draw exactly the wrong conclusions (ie. gosh, they're just like us - they're not so bad). I can't remember if I've posted this before, but I think you'd appreciate it if you haven't seen it already: www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvgZ...
- Watch the movie or read the book “Ordinary Men.” Americans are no different from the Germans, and we desperately need to understand this. Movie is on Netflix
- “We Shall Overcome” should be what we sing to Trump on his birthday at his military parade. The American people have fought home-grown fascists and oligarchs before, and won. youtu.be/7akuOFp-ET8
