If your flight ends up delayed or cancelled bc Trump and his goons made airlines lighten their schedules in an attempt to bully Democrats, just remember that they also took food away from children and refuse to agree to keep health care premiums (somewhat) affordable. They’re the whole package!

Vaccines: A History Lesson
This picture is of my great-grandfather (white jacket, pipe) and seven of his medical school classmates in 1899. They were assigned to work on a cadaver. One noted that the body was badly pockmarked, but their professor said that there was no danger of infection. 1/2

Thanks, @sfbayferry.com, for the free ride today in honor of the millionth customer on the Seaplane route - maybe it was me! ;)

I will cheerfully contribute to the GoFundMe of any journalist (or influencer, now that they're going to be in the room, I guess) who gets fired for standing up at any of his ridiculous press conferences and shouting "Liarrrrr!" like Valerie in The Princess Bride. Bonus points if you're in costume.

Book banning is NOT a “hoax.” This is some top-shelf doublespeak by the new Dept. of Education, and it’s yet another entry in the terrifyingly long list of awful things coming out of DC since Monday.

AWFJ's Movie of the Week is NIGHT IS NOT ETERNAL, director Nanfu Wang's compelling comparison of how her activism in China differs from the activism of Rosa Maria Paya in Cuba. Both women press equally for freedom/human rights, but don't agree on Trump-ism. 👏 ✊💪 Read more: awfj.org/blog/2024/11...

Delightful, dazzling, and - yes - a bit scary. Just posted my full review of @wickedmusical.bsky.social - see why it’s best for ages 10+

Got to see @wickedmusical.bsky.social today in SF for Common Sense and loved it - IMO, fans of the show will not be disappointed in any way. But definitely important to know that it’s only Part 1 - Part 2 comes out a year from now. 😬 💕💚🧙🏼‍♀️

My gift to everyone just discovering this platform: A colleague initially read it as "Blue-ski" back in the early days. So now you, too, can picture a bunch of Chicago guys sitting around discussing the beauty of a less-toxic social media platform. ;)

Admittedly, I have never read A Confederacy of Dunces, but damned if these cabinet appointments aren’t living up to that title and then some. 😬🤦🏻‍♀️
