This is a terrible story of stigma and delay/refusal of care at a Catholic hospital in Nova Scotia, Canada, where Cherise Basque sought care for heavy bleeding after taking abortion pills.

Unheard. Unserved: Nova Scotian woman says abortion stigma at hospital almost took her life

A student on TikTok has been documenting her journey with a professor who “wrote” the anatomy textbook and it’s all a bunch of AI hallucinations.

She’s saying that, understandably, the students are doing super poorly!

Behold what we’re teaching the healthcare professionals of tomorrow:

A diagram of the bones and (some) deep muscles of the hand and forearm. AI says that we only have four digits. It’s also identified a tendon as the median nerve, another tendon as the ulnar nerve, among other issues.

An AI generated diagram of the muscles of the neck. It hallucinated the “ennocleidomasid” muscle, and the “anterior scalpalin muscle”.

An AI generated diagram of the muscles of the lateral thigh. It says that the gluteus Maximus (the big juicy butt muscle) is on the anterior side. It also points to the quadriceps muscle and says “attattment”. It also says that the same structure is the tibia AND the deep fascia of the leg.

An AI generated diagram of the bones of the hand and forearm. This time AI says we have 6 digits. It also says that the radius is the ulnar artery. Among other many issues.

The Trump admin's recent warnings against pregnant women taking Tylenol, Covid shots and antidepressants clash with the mainstream medical consensus. But they also highlight a dangerous data vacuum -- one that's gotten worse since the fall of Roe v. Wade.

RFK Jr.’s got advice for pregnant women. There’s limited data to support it.

Women of reproductive age have long been missing from clinical trials. It’s getting worse where abortion is banned.

My instagram spat out a reel of an AI police officer doing a day in the life video where is he is reviewing the evidence for R v Brown and looking traumatised at the camera. What the actual fuck is my algorithm.

It's heartening that two of the fastest-rising politicians in the English speaking world (Polanski in the UK and Mamdani in the US) are very pro-trans.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Abortion bans hurt everyone.

Abortion bans and restrictions create cascading effects that extend far beyond reproductive health care, compromising the quality and effectiveness of medical care across reproductive and non-reproductive specialties.

Lesbian couples have 2.2X the divorce risk compared to heterosexual couples and 1.6X compared to gay male couples. Lesbians' higher divorce risk is partly explained by the fact that they tend to live together for a shorter period of time before marriage. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Objective We investigate whether differences in the length of premarital cohabitation, children from previous unions, and childbearing in the union explain the elevated divorce risk observed in fema.....
