A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.
Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

Yes, the stock market may be tanking and our national security apparatus has never been more vulnerable and we're on the verge of both economic collapse and war, but it was all worth it to keep pronouns out of email signatures.

The leading cause of preventable death and disease in the United States is smoking. Today the Trump administration shuttered the CDC's Office of Smoking and Health.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

Sharing these numbers because I wasn't aware of them myself. In the US:
* 1 in 5 unvaccinated people who get measles are hospitalized
* 1 in 20 children with measles get pneumonia
* 1 to 3 in 1000 die
If you're not immune, close contact with an infected person gives you measles 90% of the time
* 1 in 5 unvaccinated people who get measles are hospitalized
* 1 in 20 children with measles get pneumonia

Make your calls. Go to your town halls. Ask your state and local officials what they are doing under state and local law. Rest. Hydrate. Make soup for the hungry. Don’t let people tell you that you’re doing it wrong. Not a sprint. Not a marathon. A relay. Find your team. Thank you.
