I was just reminded today is the 114th anniversary of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire. 146 garment workers dead because greedy owners didn't want them taking breaks and there were no regulations for fire safety at the time.

All the regulations Certain People bitch about are written in blood.

✊🏾 Here are 3 game-changing Black North Carolinians you might not know.

We've split them into three clips, so check the thread below for parts 2 and 3.

People like Rev. Katrina Foster make me so proud to be an ELCA Lutheran. For Living Lutheran, I wrote about the positive change she's brought to churches and communities in NYC.

I was recently diagnosed with migraines, news I welcomed as it assuaged my fears that my headaches were something more nefarious: cancer metastasis. I wrote about dealing with that fear & managing a new health challenge in this essay for @bezzycommunity.bsky.social

My healthy, 85-year-old dad has started showing some cognitive changes that have forced my sisters and I to learn how to keep him safe while also letting him maintain independence. I wrote about striking that balance in my latest essay for Business Insider

It’s an open secret among medical professionals: Many drugs maintain their ability to combat ailments well after their expiration date. One pharmacist says he sometimes takes home expired OTC medicine so he and his family can use it.

(Published 2017, but there's no expiration date for this story)
The Myth of Drug Expiration Dates
Hospitals and pharmacies are required to toss expired drugs, no matter how expensive or vital. Meanwhile the FDA has long known that many remain safe and potent for years longer.

“The Democrats didn’t do enough on Gaza, so I withheld my vote to make a statement.”

“Well, Trump won and now he’s gonna destroy Gaza.”

“Yep. We’re paying the price for the Democrats’ incompetence.”

“‘We?’ The Gazans are paying the price, not us”

Pause.

“I needed to make a statement.”

99.99% of the time you're going to be the first and last person to read it. If it ever gets in front of another human, it has already survived the insurmountable odds of your own self-rejection, and the odds become much more grim after that. Just go ahead and write whatever you want!
