Time for the reminder about gifts: when you give someone a gift, that is the end of your trajectory with it. Quest over, possession transferred. They can love it and use it every day, regift it, or throw it into the ocean— and it’s none of your business anymore! A gift with conditions is not a gift.

NEW from me: if you were surprised by RFK Jr’s weird claim today that SSRIs are harder to quit than heroin, you shouldn’t have been! He’s been weirdly obsessed with antidepressants for years and he believes some craaaaaazy shit about them: www.thecut.com/article/rfk-...
RFK Jr.’s Dangerous Attacks on SSRIs
The wannabe HHS head parroted debunked right-wing myths about antidepressants during his confirmation hearing.

You can't kill Black history. It doesn't how hard they try.

You can drive it underground but can't stop people from seeking knowledge, building consciousness, exercising political imagination, and acting collectively.

Good luck with that.

I’d really like 2025 to be very uninteresting times.

I feel it’s unlikely this wish will be fulfilled.

In 2021, COVID was shown to be fully airborne. Yet for years, hospitals have failed to upgrade infection control measures. Bodies like the WHO and CDC are leaving HCW and patients in danger by failing to match recommendations to the science.

My latest:

CDC infection control body rejects the science on airborne transmission
HICPAC continues to stonewall efforts to evolve infection control guidance to match updated information about COVID and other common viruses.
