Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women.

Imagine having all the money, power and opportunity in the world and using it to buy a presidency for an incoherent, incontinent, rapey knobhead.
