It’s the only thing considered safe for pain during pregnancy. I took it during both of mine for relief. It absolutely gives relief.

Look, I hate Tylenol/paracetamol. It doesn’t do shit for pain at safe doses. It’s the leading cause of acute liver failure in the US, and the #1 drug of overdose (accidental or not) in like 5 countries.

Look, it always feels extra hokey for #LaborDay to be in Sep. when you're in Chicago, given that May 1 as Intl Worker's Day relates to Haymarket.
And it is: The federal holiday is literally in September to avoid socialist and anarchist overtones.
But I'm always happy to repost labor rights stuff.

Covid infections raise mental health & suicide risks. Even mild cases boost depression risk by 20%, regardless of vax status. Public health failed to communicate this, letting anti-vaxxers fill the gap with disinfo.

Please make your resistance efforts accessible!
It’s important to commit to not leaving disabled people behind.
We can bring a lot to the fight, but it starts with a commitment to inclusion.
That includes wearing masks so you can keep yourselves (and us!) healthy!

"A survey of one thousand OB-GYNs...found that fewer than one in five received any training about the health care needs of disabled people, and about the same proportion felt adequately prepared to manage the pregnancies of women with disabilities."
Disabled people are 11 times more likely to die during labor/in the postpartum period than non-disabled people. Better education and smashing ableism is how we get out of this horrible stat.
For the past year, I’ve been looking into the topic of disability and pregnancy for @motherjones.com 🧵

Pregnancy is a minefield when you're disabled
Few OB-GYNs get disability training—and their disabled patients are far likelier to die.

Imagine it's 1850 and you've just been flattened by an elite cavalry officer who just yells "SOWWY" as he thunders away.
![Screenshot of a tweet:
British cavalry in the 1850s consisted entirely of twinks who used UwU-speak...
[Photo of a book page] "The dash of British cavalry officers was never greater than at the opening of the Crimean campaign in the spring of 1854. These aristocratic horsemen were, in the idiom of the day, "plungers," "tremendous swells." They affected elegant boredom, yawned a great deal, spoke a jargon of their own, pronouncing "r" as "w," saying "vewwy," "howwid," and "sowwy," and interlarded sentences with loud and meaningless exclamations of "Haw, haw." Their sweeping whiskers, languid voices, tiny waists, laced in by corsets, and their large cigars were irresistible, frantically admired, and as frantically envied. Magnificently mounted, horses were their passion; they rode like the devil himself, and their confidence in their ability to defeat any enemy single-handed was com-plete. Cavalry officers were saying in London drawing-rooms that to take infantry on the campaign was superfluous; the infantry would merely be a drag on them, and had better be left at
home."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:uqonrv6u7reqli3kksljamwr/bafkreifqd3kvkwqy6k2vuajha3vrughks5bfvl72vglbaywl7nnzyxwqp4@jpeg)

Hi everyone! I’ve unfortunately been diagnosed with a likely rib fracture from the hospital. Likely it occurred on Friday, August 8 during a protest where I was in the middle of asking for a PIO/supervisor.
As is clear in the video, I waited for a moment for a break in the line moving forward.

I asked one of the D.C. cops on the scene at today's protest how he feels about Trump's takeover of DC police. He said he and others don’t know who’s in charge at the moment and there’s been no guidance.
