How many of us have had that conversation… telling someone that they have a disease that will progressively cause cognitive decline? Or loss of mobility?

The fear and sadness this provokes?

That’s why I’m gentle with “the masses” wrt C19.

Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.

This is the power of vaccines.

The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.

Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!
newsGP - Australia set for world-first cervical cancer elimination
Vaccination programs have played a key role, and GPs remain ‘instrumental’ in boosting screening rates to reach the 2035 target.

“If you were that sick you would be dead.”

“If it were that bad you would get help.”

“If you can post on social media you’re fine”.

Disabled people are constantly subjected to “if” statements from people who have no concept how bad it can get & how little help is available

if I can offer any unsolicited advice to multi parent households with small children, it would be this: adults should if at all possible get flu and covid jabs on different days from the other person

Dear young people,

Once upon a time in America products were built to last and could be repaired. That’s why your grandmother’s washing machine, refrigerator and stove still work. Their shoes could get a new sole and clothes altered.
Yep, the before times.

“The Nov. 8 Blaze News article claimed that it had pinpointed the woman after a review of video evidence and "gait analysis" software matched her walking pattern.”

Gait analysis is bullshit. It’s not bullshit in the sense of a high rate of false positives. It’s bullshit in that it is vaporware.
How an innocent woman's name was tied to the Jan. 6 pipe bombs
The FBI has ruled the woman out as a suspect in the 2021 plot, sources said, but only after her name circulated on social platforms and a conservative news site.

i really love being a therapist. and i hate writing posts like that bc i know this field can be just as harmful and oppressive as all other systems. and i want to build a world that is significantly less traumatizing and ideally where mutual aid and community remove the need for this profession* 1/2

Spent all day being so mad I forgot to take my blood pressure meds. A dangerous mix. Remember to take your meds and drink water and cuddle your pets! My dog gets anxious when I’m upset ☹️

A third infant in Kentucky has died of whooping cough this year.

Reminder: The best way to protect against whooping cough is to get vaccinated. Adults should get a Tdap booster every 10 years, so please check, you may be overdue!

this clip from season 9 of bad girl’s club (which i’ve never actually seen) is once again giving me the most supportive approach to some difficult interpersonal nonsense: staying confused but voguing it out. tysm, Erika 🤍
