If your arm is hanging at your side, or your hand is sitting in your lap when you get your blood pressure checked, the reading might be off.

Meta does not put the public good first.

It is a corporation that puts profit and self-preservation first.

Proceed with caution, and good luck with your family members who are being micro-targeted by special and malign interests on the platform.

Hello, #Bluesky!

The severe pitting in this skull is the direct result of tertiary syphilis, which was fatal before the discovery of penicillin. In the final stage, the disease attacks a person's skeletal structure. This 19th-century skull is from the Medical Museion in Copenhagen. #histmed
