There's research suggesting that Black people need more sleep because of racism. Black women need even more because of the double whammy of racism and sexism.
Stress from oppression does shorten your life, a fact Black people have had to live with their entire lives. Work to counter the ensuing inflammation that stress causes can be a faster way to address this issue. And of course you keep fighting oppression. 🩺 #MedSky

Another woman killed by the Texas GOP. Tierra Walker knew that abortion was illegal in Texas, but she thought that hospitals could make an exception for patients like her, whose health was clearly on the line. At 20 weeks pregnant, she died of preeclampsia.

Our reporting has found that abortion bans generally don’t include exceptions that cover health concerns pregnant women with chronic conditions can face — or if they do, doctors aren’t using them.

We care about small businesses because we are a small business. If you're not spending today, show up for your indie bookshop in other ways—such as following them on social media, leaving a positive review online, signing up for a newsletter, etc. Support doesn't always require budget 💕

David Zaslav, like so many other execs in creative industries and beyond, can’t imagine that something can be thriving and essential if it’s not growing exponentially forever.
HBO has declined to renew “Sesame Street” for new episodes. The series that’s been teaching generations of little kids since 1969 now has no studio.
Please consider donating to Sesame Workshop to ensure the residents of 123 Sesame Street are still around to teach kids of all needs and backgrounds.
