feeling a little like the Butterball Thanksgiving Turkey hotline except instead of providing scientific tips on turkey, it's on how to best manage acute covid infections this Christmas

less delightful, a little more cursed, but still happy to help without exception

As millions around the world celebrate Christmas, Israel is inflicting unconscionable suffering on Palestinians in #Gaza, where half the population is children

This Christmas we at #Anonymous wish for one thing: an end to Israel's #genocide of Palestinians.
I hope you’ll join us

The image is a two-panel meme from "The Simpsons." The top panel shows a bus driver, grimacing as he says, "DON'T MAKE ME TAP THE SIGN." The bottom panel shows his hand pointing to a sign that states, "Turkeys are capable of parthenogenesis." The sign's text is emphasized, contrasting with the humorous nature of the character's directive.

As well-meaning publishers try to navigate the coming storm of state laws against diversity, I hope they'll consider Timothy Snyder's Rule #1 (from his slim book ON TYRANNY).
Reproduction of excerpt from Timothy Snyder's book ON TYRANNY: "1. Do not obey in advance. Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and then offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do."

Reminder that the new COVID shot isn’t just a booster, it’s a new vaccine more effective against more variants. Important to get it and remind friends & family.

'The best time to pit #Novavax head-to-head against the other COVID-19 vaccines may be right now, with updated boosters becoming available that all target the same version of Omicron, called XBB.'
