Reluctance by some to acknowledge the airborne transmission of airborne pathogens, is because of the implications for governments, businesses, and healthcare services: an example being the failure of some to recognize that SARS-CoV-2 transmission is also airborne. www.cidrap.umn.edu/avian-influe...

Students, holidaymakers & conference schedulers: if you or anybody with you in the USA has a life-threatening ectopic pregnancy, needs emergency contraception, is unexpectedly pregnant or has a miscarriage in the USA, you might be refused medical service or hospital care even if it kills you.

We don’t have to wonder any more what happens to schoolboy bullies who call people ‘pussies’, ‘slut’ ‘bedwetters’ and ‘gay’ as insults. They get old enough to try to take away women’s & LGBTI rights.

Be wary when the Australasian Menopause Society is described as ‘a charity’ as if it doesn’t have authority. It is a world-respected peak body of specialists & other medical & allied professionals urging evidence-based care. 1/2

Update on the Measles outbreak in Texas and New Mexico www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/u... There likely hundreds of cases, so many not being diagnosed. And many more to come. All preventable.

I think it’s a mistake to think of the pro-natalist polygamy of Elon Musk as a departure from the “traditional” sexual conservatism. The tradition, really, is not primarily about male monogamy so much as male domination; the collection of multiple women affirms this, rather than subverting it.

This seems incredibly legal and could in no way backfire in unpredictable and damaging ways.

I found this one painful to build. These are Canadians who are so fiercely, disgustingly racist, that it even shocked me (and as many of you are aware... I've seen some shit!) #MapleMAGA #TimbitTaliban #RacistCanadianAssholes

Global crisis style note: What Trump is doing to Ukraine is not 'blackmail', which would be demand for payment under threat of exposure of compromising information*. This is demand for payment under threat of violence/refusal to protect from violence. The word is 'extortion'.

Come with me to the hotel in Harrogate where the missing-person hunt for Agatha Christie ended in 1926... The policeman and her husband waited by the lift for her to come down for dinner. When its doors opened to reveal her, they pounced.

Disruption of the arctic polar vortex reflects that big mountain ranges (Rockies, Alps & Urals) at the right latitudes stir the air & interrupt flow. The flatness of the southern hemisphere mid latitudes allows the Antarctic polar vortex to hold its shape. www.antarctica.gov.au/about-antarc...

When are we all going to call enough, no more on the crazy excesses of garment labelling with instructions in 5 languages about how to wash etc. They would pile to the moon & back. What total waste.

There’s a flash new $60 cookbook called Saint Haven based on the so-called ‘anti-ageing luxury wellness club’: a macadamia nut milk smoothie in it is called ‘hormone optimiser’, a meaningless phrase. It will have no effect on hormone levels or ‘balance’.

Need a quick fact check from an internal medicine doctor or someone else in the know. Is there a specific blood test for sarcoid? Not an elevated ESR or other marker that makes us more concerned about this as a diagnosis, but a blood test that can definitely confirm or exclude the diagnosis?
