Periodic reminder: the vaccine efficacy of the pertussis vaccine drops below 50% at 4.5 years. You should be getting a Tdap booster every 5 years, not every 10. It is especially vital if you have contact with pregnant people or infants too young to be vaccinated.
After two infants died, the Louisiana Dept of Health under the leadership of the new incoming deputy director of the CDC, delayed notifying the public for months of a whooping cough outbreak. Instead, he ordered DOH to stop promoting vaccines. Pertussis is currently a national health crisis.
Louisiana officials waited months to warn public of whooping cough outbreak
After a whooping cough outbreak killed two infants, Louisiana health officials waited months to officially alert physicians or do public outreach. That's not the typical public health response.

you shouldn't host events at synagogues encouraging people to illegally settle in occupied territory, which is an act that directly interferes in the possibility of a two-state solution. you also shouldn't protest outside a synagogue while chanting "death to" anyone.
Zohran Mamdani chastised a Manhattan synagogue that hosted an event promoting migration to Israel and settlements in occupied territories. His stance further tested his strained relationship with pro-Israel Jews in New York.

diet culture is a form of fascism.
they want you to self-hate - easy to control & influence
they want you physically weak - struggling to think, can’t fight back
they want you categorizing the worth of others by size - primed to hate in so many ways
don’t give in 🖤.

EDs/heroin chic is back in fashion globally, as an elder millennial that lived through this all before take care of yourselves out there. Maybe enjoy music without the visuals or just start clicking away from all scary-thin pics the algo is serving up to everyone.

“Bullying is OK if it’s done to people I hate”.
No. That’s not how being ethical works.
“That which is hateful to you, do not do to your fellow.” The rest is commentary.

"Some people deserve to be bullied" is always wild to see because it's so deliberately childish as to make it difficult to imagine the person saying it has the moral capacity of an adult human being.

The problem with ICE is not that it's targeting people who aren't criminals. The problem with ICE is that it's an unaccountable secret deportation police. It cannot be reformed under a better president. It can be made less terrible, but the instrument of repression remains for the next tyrant.

One week he took off sick, someone else answered the order call and was like "what are you talking about? We don't serve fajitas."

Its absurd how frequently sanism in language comes down to not just a bigotry issue but the total lack of imagination and writing skills of those using it. Like theres dozens of other adjectives you coulda chose, you chose the least fitting bigoted one.
