As we all get bombarded with emails and texts about holiday sales, a reminder that there is a blackout happening from today through Monday. Pls consider at least not buying from major corporations during this time unless you think things are hunky dory.

You know who the real freeloaders in this country are? Not people who rely on SNAP, but corporations whose business model depends on wages so low that taxpayers have to feed their workers.

It’s weird how the “young” Republicans are actually full-grown men and JD Vance treats them as children who shouldn’t face consequences for their racism, misogyny, or xenophobia.
But pregnant 12-year-old little girls are treated as adults and must literally bear the consequences of rape and incest.

Let me get this straight. Men in their 30s and 40s are kids who deserve a break but 12-13 year old girls are old enough to experience the consequences of the actions of their abusers (who also happen to be grown ass men).

If you’re canceling subscription services with giant companies with ties to terrible people, you should think about replacing them with a library card. Many library systems give you access to physical media (some of which you can’t find on streaming!) as well as other great stuff.

RFK Jr. rolled out that old chestnut again about how healthy Americans were in the 60’s, so here’s a fact check.
In 1965:
-42% of American adults smoked; it’s 11% now.
-The infant morality rate was 24.7/1000; it’s 5.6/1000 now.
-Overall life expectancy was 70 years; it's about 77 years now.

It doesn’t matter if you feed your kids organic foods, MAHA moms.
It doesn’t matter if you lift every day, bro.
It doesn’t matter how many supplements you consume.
When polio, diphtheria, measles, mumps, and whooping cough come a calling, all that matters is if you are vaccinated or not.

Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.
This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

Gee, I wonder why the birth rate is in decline…
The median cost of putting one child through daycare for 5 years in the U.S. is $43,000. That masks much higher costs in many large cities. It’s nearly $150,000 (almost $30,000 for one year) in Arlington, VA. This is for one kid www.wsj.com/personal-fin...

Sounds like they're telling the pregnant people to calm down because they're too hysterical. Reminds of of something....can't quite place it
This push against pregnant people taking SSRIs is garbage (so says ACOG, don’t take my word for it) but it’s also very telling.
Literally everything we do in healthcare has risk. You can hurt someone with oxygen. So no, giving a pregnant person an SSRI is not without risk.
But whose risk?

Now, I listened to this shit in its entirety and wholy fuck was it wild. They start out saying women should embrace their emotions and enjoy them to ending with this (dropping in 2 parts due to size)

Every machine in a Hospital that diagnoses your body without cutting you open is based on a principle of Physics, discovered by a Physicist who had no interest in Medicine.
If you think the world doesn’t need Basic Science, or that somehow Science has failed you, think again.

Transphobia harms all women
Last year my wife had breast cancer and a double mastectomy.
This morning, for the first time ever, she was challenged in the changing rooms at the swimming pool. Her breasts were not what make her a woman - but, breasts or not, she is entitled to dignity and protection from vigilantes.
