Do No Harm*
Modern medicine continues to fail women. It isn’t just sexism — it’s a failure of the Hippocratic Oath’s first principle.

Ashanty is my student, and this is her first-ever professional assignment! She’s a ridiculously smart thinker and writer — read her on AI in school instead of all the adults pontificating. 🤗
Excited to present this great essay by Ashanty Rosario, a talented young journalist who attends Newtown High School in Queens, about how she's experienced the arrival of AI in the classroom.
"These programs have destroyed much of what tied us together as students."

The AI dumbfucks think the final outcome/final product is the most important thing, when in truth doing the writing, reading the details, thinking about the issue, processing & synthesizing the information is actually the most important, most useful, most valuable & usually the most enjoyable part.

Come on AP. He slashed $500 million in funding for mRNA technology and then strung a bunch of words that sound good if you know literally nothing about vaccines, but this statement is actual science fiction and reporting it without saying this isn’t how immunity works at all is frankly dangerous.

I used this video a few years ago to introduce my daughter to Kate Bush (and David Gilmour). So good!
It’s Kate Bush’s birthday.
She was discovered by David Gilmour when she was 15.
And that eventually led to this brilliant live version of Running Up That Hill:

Folks are angry that undocumented immigrants can access medical care in certain states.
Why? They’re working incredibly hard jobs, often for sub minimum wages.
They’re putting food on your table, stocking your shelves & keeping the economy going.
Why shouldn’t they get care?
