Yes. 3 months is exactly the time period. You can book at most pharmacies (CVS in the Baltimore area) same day!

18.6! Looks like 11.5 per second...which is insane

The reason tens of millions of Republicans (as seen on this chart) became vaccine skeptics is because right wingers capitalized on already existing fear and amplified it using the Internet.

That being said, the best thing one can do to convince someone to get a vaccine is talk to them.

I've had a Pratt library card as long as I can remember, did the summer reading challenges as a kid, and loved talking to all the different workers at different branches.

Y'all (and the work you do) are amazing and I hope negotiations work out!!!

Truly one of the best resources in Baltimore

From what I understand there are custom algorithms/feeds that people can create, so maybe it'll get better for you. Personally I just followed all the Baltimore starter packs and a few others.

I think it'll take some time to settle as tons of people are joining?

So far I've seen only one ridiculous post and immediately blocked/hid them...I prefer the algorithm so much more than x's

Absolutely! One of the many topics to explore

This is really interesting. I know a lot of college aged women who are really into it and talk about practicing it, but then forego one of the Bs or do it on and off.

I think that it'll evolve quite a bit and could be positive as a discussion tool surrounding topics like sa/sh, feminism, etc

Their consistency is all over the place - when it's good, it's good, but how often is it good?

That being said though, Dunkin >>> Starbucks

Sometimes it's fun to see how much bs you can cram into a post and get away with

Well...it is complicated. This is absolutely a big factor, but things like built environment, culture, etc, all play a massive part in obesity in America.

A fantastic Bloomberg piece showed how coverage of shootings in NYC bore absolutely ZERO relationship to ACTUAL shootings. Just to politics of crime: www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

People get their sense of crime trends from media coverage. And that coverage (#NotAllJournalists) is ... wanting.

Lots of people coming over from the other platform + several baltimore starterpacks = lots of follows
