Today in history, 1890: Tatanka Iyotake (Sitting Bull) is shot and killed by Indian police who had been sent to arrest him. The chief refused to go quietly, some young men intervened and a shot was fired. The police shot Sitting Bull in the chest and head. /1

Just so we're clear, if the B.C. government was billed for each dose dispensed, that'd be close to $300,000.
The penalty was a $20,000 fine and a six-month suspension of his pharmacy license. Doesn’t seem like much of a deterrent.

The assault on puberty blockers in the UK is going to cause irreparable damage to trans youth. I don't have any witty comment or snide remark to add to this, I'm just devastated for all trans kids in the U.K right now and I'm so sorry you have to deal with this nonsense.

Death threats/online intimidation has become part of the playbook of the far right. It is used against federal MPs, town councillors and even school board trustees.

The time someone is *present* at an event is not the only time it consumes. There's preparation time, travel time, and recovery/processing time. For Autistic people, planning and recuperation can consume more time/energy. So don't assume your event is minimally disruptive for those obliged to attend

Farmworker advocates say the number of H5N1 bird flu cases in humans is likely underreported, largely because the immigrant and non-English speaking workforce on farms could be reluctant to seek help or may not be informed about taking precautions, according to WIRED.
