The genocide of the people of Gaza continues as members of congress vote to fund Israel’s defensive and offensive military capabilities. This is immoral and no amount of excuses will ever make it ok.

UPDATE: Workers at FOUR key US science agencies have now filed letters of dissent against their leadership. After initially delaying their letter due to fears of retaliation, NSF workers have gone ahead anyway, and joined their colleagues at NIH, EPA, and NASA in speaking up.

I bought one of these for Eddie’s medication, but the fridge I received didn’t actually match the Amazon listing I ordered from, so it’s not part of the recall, go figure 🤷🏻‍♀️

Daughter's housemate just got out of hospital. Brought home #Covid to at least 1 other housemate. Fingers crossed for the others. I am so pissed at #HCWs who don't #Mask. Irresponsible hospitals and HCWs. 😡 #MaskUp, dammit!

Young people need to understand what RFK Jr. just did Before Obamacare, insurance companies could deny you coverage for CHEMOTHERAPY because you had acne as a teenager. They considered PREGNANCY a pre-existing condition. Childhood asthma too. And could deny you. This is bad.

They said it was about "choice" and "medical freedom," but they lied. They're *limiting* access and choice, not based on facts or science - and this is only the beginning! Don't let them get away with it. Ask Congress to Ensure Universal Access to COVID Vaccines by July 28th. 👇🏾

We should have a larger convo about how companies like American Eagle use beautiful people to add glamor to unglamorous products. In 2023, a young Bangladeshi woman committed suicide at a factory that made American Eagle clothes bc of abuse. This is the cost of cheap clothes.
