Does anyone else’s face light up like a Christmas tree when they overexert?
Bright flushed red cheeks, hot to the touch.
I can’t tell if it’s MCAS response to over exertion or my body’s attempt to bring more blood to my head.

Spoke to my source familiar with internal workings at Mastercard. The holiday call campaign re payment processor censorship is working, there is a lot of pressure being felt from your calls. This is resulting in increased response times at a core moment for Mastercard due to the holiday season

The Singularitarian fantasists who want us to elevate machines to consciousness are not interested in the happiness of all beings.
They want to degrade the biological body to a mere vessel, one they can discard. It's bunk theology for men who believe they're too smart and special to die.

The way the public views type 1 diabetes as a mere hassle that can be endured by the spiritually pure, and not a certain death sentence without a robust infrastructure of hormone treatment, is analogous to how cis people view trans hormone therapies.

You can also get a sore throat with the flu which is expected to be very bad this year.
Patient came in with sore throat. While waiting for rapid Strep test result we glanced back at the Covid-19 RAT result: positive. Reminder that masking in health care makes sense, if you don’t want everyone in your waiting room to go home sick, your staff to get sick, and physicians to get sick.

One thing you start to notice if you look at maps of cities is that they all sort of resemble each other when you overlay them. There will be less trees and green space in these same areas, higher rates of asthma and other chronic conditions, and it’s all down to systemic racism and policy making.

I was an undergrad during the early aughts and said in a history class regarding "the mission to bring democracy to Iraq" propaganda.
Somehow I surprised the instructor when I said this would be really messy unless freedom of press, freedom of speech, and full access to education were guaranteed.

Here's another reason journalism is important: we live under a form of representative government.
We, the citizens, cast votes for political representatives who, in turn, are responsible for making decisions on our behalf.
