Study finds rates of pregnancy-related death increased by 28% in the US between 2018 and 2022.

States with highest rates: AL, MS, LA, AK
States with lowest rates: CA, MN, MA, ME

It's sad that women in states with the highest death rates do not have #reprorights.

He's not on Bluesky so I'm amplifying his message here. The medical neglect towards menopause is very real.

Menopause puts in motion enormous physical and mental health changes, many of which are associated with huge health risks & everybody thinks you should be celebrating cuz no more periods. 😑

Wow! Eli Lilly announces their oral GLP-1 (yeah, that's right, a pill!) was shown as efficacious and safe as injectables in Phase 3 trial.

The oral form removes a major barrier to use-->💉

Happy birthday, BF Skinner! (1904-1990)

This quote, which rings even more true today than ever, is from Contingencies of Reinforcement: A Theoretical Analysis (1969)
