My cats, who don't know that dogs might try and eat them, were fascinated the other day when they spotted someone walking a dog past my house. I have no idea how they'll react to actually meeting a dog, but it's not fear currently

COVID is now in its 7th year. The US faces a 12th wave, with 1.2M recorded deaths. Global deaths near 27M, the true death toll is far higher. Transmission remains high (~1 million infections/day), reinfections are widespread, and Long COVID remains a mass-disabling condition affecting millions.
Public health collapsing as COVID pandemic enters its 7th year
The systematic dismantling of public health services in the United States, including childhood vaccinations that have saved millions of lives, is a historic crime committed by the US ruling elite.

today's bright spot:
when i was an undergrad, i only knew a few out trans people on campus (and i myself was not among them yet)
today, for the fourth semester in a row, 10% of my undergrad class is openly trans/gender-nonconforming.
we will not go back.

You know libraries are awesome, right? For so many things beyond books, but especially for books. And especially for authors. Please ask your library to order in our books. It's a sale, but more importantly it puts our books in front of so many new readers. That's powerful magic.

1/8 Malinauskas has misappropriated cultural safety. Cultural safety cannot be invoked without racial literacy or it is a meaningless exercise. Racial literacy requires that BOTH the interpersonal AND structural/systemic nature of racism is examined. Cultural un-safety is a form of racism. #auspol

I worked my way through damned near all of them before I found one that both worked and had tolerable side effects. Brains are complicated, and doctors should be encouraging patients to keep trying different drugs until they find one they're happy with.
I know quite a few people who have struggled to find anti-depressants that work for them. Usually people who also have ADHD, Autism and/or Complex PTSD from childhood trauma.
Antidepressants failing many people, major study reveals
A major Australian study finds standard antidepressants are not effective for about 20 per cent of people, who may need alternative treatments.

This is Kevin. He's a reactive dog getting some training to be more comfortable. His trainer brought him to a pet store for some socialization where they learned he is no longer reactive when given a giant stuffed dinosaur. 14/10 (TT: katieandtatesfostermates)
