As an anaesthetist I spend a good amount of time talking, in close proximity, to vulnerable patients while having young children at home coughing and unwell.
I owe it to my patients not to pass on whatever is circulating at home to them.
I've been doing it daily for 3 years and can do it as needed for the remainder of my career.

I am currently vacationing in Greece. It is quite normal for most restaurants to have a shared bathroom for men and women. There are individual stalls, and a shared washroom.

it is completely and totally possible for all people to coexist in the same bathroom.

US conservatives are living with blinders on. Many other developed countries aren't losing their shit about who is allowed to use the bathroom. Spoiler alert: everyone.

Can we get a solarpunk rival to burning man, where people congregate to permanently upgrade civic infrastructure somewhere instead? Like a convention of hippy nerds going door to door offering to install free insulation, guerilla gardening on empty lots, repairing derelict houses, running volunteer transit, hosting pop-up pay-what-you-can grocers and restaurants.. something that revels in _mattering_ instead of "leaving no trace" (but at exorbitant cost)

The quote from the movie Platoon should have been,

"Decolonize your mind, and your ass will follow."

@AlliFlowers Have you been to the EJI memorial to the victims of lynching in Montgomery, AL? It's as solemn as any Holocaust memorial. The EJI is doing god's work down there!

Terrifying. This group has infiltrated every crevice of #Florida. #Leo stooges are placed everywhere.
If you want to see his pilot program for how the entire country would look, fascist-style, look at Florida.
Teachers cower in fear of arrest. Local Health departments were co-opted by imbeciles during #Covid. Blacks never know whether voting rights will be there next election. The Guv regularly uses violent and derogatory language. He deflects our attention to Texas' borders while our own coastline shrinks and fresh water aquifers dribble away. Confused new migrants can’t drive. He literally has goons at his secret press conferences intercept the lone guy who dares show up to ask questions.

Chaos. Fear. Confusion. All tools of the #Fascist Playbook. #project2025

@barney It was only when white evangelicals opposing civil rights laws of the 1960s allied with the US Catholic bishops to form the religious right that abortion got pushed forward as a more savory moral issue than opposition to civil rights.

For white evangelicals (and the US Catholic bishops), it has always been primarily about opposing civil rights breakthroughs, and, with abortion, especially civil rights breakthroughs for women.

The Thomas’s should be indicted along with the other 19. https://sfba.social/@SMeinrath/110993330863679145

The degree to which teachers reject interventions that are really just good teaching methods because of the name applied to them (UDL is an example) is shameful.

Remember Trump’s “very fine people” ?

Remember Ron DeSantis refusing to condemn neo Nazis in Feb 2022 ?

Well now we have Nazis openly marching through parks in Florida

America: where it’s safe to be a Nazi – but not trans, anti fascist, a cis female or a child

Tax exemptions for all non-profits needs to be eliminated, especially those claiming to be religious organizations. https://mastodon.social/@LindaCollins11/111001527878995134

A thought for this Sunday

@GottaLaff Wait, you mean President Biden didn't threaten to refuse aid to Florida, even though they have a Republican governor? Hmm, maybe all the 'weaponization' is a myth?

SAG just announced a strike vote for the actors in the video game industry.

UAW could walk out in two weeks, with 150,000 workers shutting down the big U.S car makers.

Unions are surging and workers are winning big. This Labor Day feels different.

Wonder why the men don't wear them, then! (Maybe because it's about subjugation, not protection??)
