I can't stress enough how downplaying COVID has emboldened the far right.
When you tell people "you do you" or say that schools don't need public health protections, you shift the Overton window, making it easier for anti-vaxxers to say it's fine to spread measles.

Six students have measles in an outbreak at a Florida elementary school.
How did Florida's health department respond?
Their Surgeon General sent out a letter that supports parents sending unvaccinated children to school during the outbreak and doesn't recommend vaccination.

As if she couldn't get any more incredible, today I learned that Harriet Tubman was also an amazing naturalist who utilised Barred Owl calls as a form of communication on the Underground Railroad!

As someone who is going through IVF, and as someone whose household very recently suffered the death of a baby, I feel extremely qualified to say that no, embryos are not children

In 2021, MyPillow founder Mike Lindell offered $5 million to anyone who could disprove his claim that he had data showing voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election.
Now, he must pay a 64-year-old from Nevada that award, a federal judge ruled Wednesday.

Very few things scared me enough to make my intestines writhe inside me the way they did while reading Black River Orchard, tho😱
