I was hit with the pregnancy question while picking up my HRT today at #Walgreens again, which I need because I no longer have ovaries and a uterus. Can we please fix this?!

8: The age your child may finally start throwing out random papers from school and all the tiny plastic toys from holidays and parties, and acorn and rock collections, and be OK with it! And if you’re lucky, they may say, “This feels good!”

The head of the FDA tells us they're taking a look at the dietary guidelines and that the food pyramid is out.
The food pyramid has not been in use since 2011 when MyPlate replaced it.

Returned Peace Corps Volunteer here.
If there is one thing Peace Corps volunteers know how to do, is to organize with minimal resources.
RPCVs, now is the time to do the work we have always done to save the work we have done to make sure it continues.

Senator Jim Banks (R) isn’t sorry he told a fired federal worker “he probably deserved it”.
He went on to say the worker was “complaining about losing a left-wing woke job in the federal government that should have never been a job to begin with”.
The job was helping people with disabilities.

Fetal personhood justifies invasive surveillance of periods, ovulation, hormones, pregnancy, miscarriage, stillbirth, delivery, postpartum, lactation - I am not joking!
Bills are being advanced in state legislatures that grant rights to embryos and fetuses, aka "fetal personhood."
Folks on the left(s) often frame these as just a threat to abortion. And sure, but that's the tip of the iceberg! Check out/share our fact sheet: static1.squarespace.com/static/5f480...

The long list of words flagged for review includes several fundamental epidemiology terms which likely show up in every paper, grant, report, presentation, or conference talk.
Does this mean epidemiology as a whole is now forbidden?
