Our analysis, which shows that more women nearly bled to death during miscarriage after Texas banned abortion, adds to a growing body of reporting revealing that maternal outcomes have gotten worse under bans.

(Published July)

Miscarriage Is Increasingly Dangerous for Women in Texas, Our Analysis Shows. Here’s How We Did It.
Using seven years of hospital discharge data, we found that the number of blood transfusions during emergency room visits for first-trimester miscarriage shot up by 54% since Texas banned abortion.

Reminder - the record heatwaves, record fires, record floods are all happening in the 'safe' degrees of climate change. We are on track to double where we are now.

📸 A dust storm/haboob envelops the Chicago skyline and lakefront, May 16, 2025. Taken from Hollywood Beach. #Chicago #photography #ilwx #wx #wxsky
A haboob, or dust storm, appears on the horizon as a brownish layer below an otherwise clear blue sky. Slightly choppy Lake Michigan waters, still quite blue, appear in the foreground. The Chicago skyline is becoming obscured. A haboob, or dust storm, nears the Chicago skyline, darkening with the sun lowering in the sky. It's a little darker brown now, still beneath a blue sky, still with a choppy Lake Michigan in the foreground. A haboob, or dust storm, encroaches now completely envelops the Chicago skyline, covered in a brown/dark brown haze. The blue skies overhead now also have a few clouds in them. The choppy Lake Michigan waters in the foreground are a little less blue as the ambient color temperature changes. A haboob, or dust storm, now fully envelops the scene. Most of the people who were in previous frames have cleared out. The entire sky is brown, an additional beach at the horizon starting to disappear and all tall buildings further distant covered.

A 1930's style dust storm just hit Chicago.

Earlier this spring I wrote for @fastcompany.com why dust storms are becoming more common:

einstein sent this to curie in 1911 when she was being harassed by tabloids. it contains everything you’d want in such a letter:

(1) your haters are trash
(2) you’re a baller, a true queen
(3) i have determined the statistical law of motion of the diatomic molecule in planck’s radiation field 🧪⚛️
Prague, 23 November 1911 Highly esteemed Mrs. Curie, Do not laugh at me for writing you without having anything sensible to say. But I am so enraged by the base manner in which the public is presently daring to concern itself with you!? that I absolutely must give vent to this feeling. However, I am convinced that you consistently despise this rabble, whether it obsequiously lavishes respect on you or whether it attempts to satiate its lust for sensationalism! I am impelled to tell you how much I have come to admire your intellect, your drive, and your honesty, and that I consider myself lucky to have made your personal acquaintance in Brussels. Anyone who does not number among these reptiles is certainly happy, now as before, that we have such personages among us as you, and Langevin(3) too, real people with whom one feels privileged to be in contact. If the rabble continues to occupy itself with you, then simply don't read that hogwash, but rather leave it to the reptile for whom i
