Just imagining how much better it would be if ALL news stories about vaccine-preventable illnesses were illustrated with pictures of people with the disease, not pictures of needle injections. If you must show something that people will find scary & unpleasant, make it the disease, not the cure.
I'm so tired of measles.
I'm also tired of people using needle shots on stories like this.
Show what measles looks like.

Collective experiment found switching profile to ‘male’ and ‘bro-coding’ text led to big increase in reach, though site denies favouring posts by men
Do your LinkedIn followers consider you a “thought leader”? Do hordes of commenters applaud your tips on how to “scale” your startup? Do recruiters slide into your DMs to “explore potential synergies”?

Can someone ask Megyn Kelly why teenagers can’t access gender affirming care because they’re “not old enough” to make that decision…
But apparently they are old enough to be raped by a bunch of pedophiles?
Just trying to understand the logic here.

The idea that sexual abuse is part of “private” life instead of a public crisis has done incalculable damage. Anti-rape activists have to fight to even make it possible to expose sexual abuse as a wrongdoing in public without being silenced and undermined. That fight is far from won

While I'm still in Vancouver, I really need to break out of feeling that an outside run in the rain or leaf mush is better/easier than running at the gym. I would like to give the Nikes a go before I'm gone for two-three months and will be running in snow/ice.
