"The overall prevalence of iron deficiency was 38.6%" Remember to check the ferritin level. It is much more useful than the iron level. Plus, "iron-deficiency anemia affected 6%" so if you think checking for anemia will catch iron deficiency, you're wrong.

It's still vexing to me that pundits use the same word, populism, to describe Trump and @sanders.senate.gov and @aoc.bsky.social. DJT practices a dishonest, nationalistic, exclusionary populism, while Sanders and AOC practice an authentic, inclusionary populism. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Join ACLU President Deborah Archer for a conversation with @nyhistory.bsky.social about how everything from sidewalks to highways were used to perpetuate racial inequality, and what we can do about it. RSVP now.

I haven't posted a cat picture in a while.

It may be time to occupy the University of Michigan Regents' building again. Back in the day, we repainted the sign in the plaza by the Regent's building from "Regents Plaza" to "People's Plaza." www.michigandaily.com/news/campus-...

Pretending to care about children while at the same time making them breath polluted air is exactly the kid of nonsense we've come to expect from this administration.

Dehumanization and exploitation. That is what they want to normalize.

This is old. It is relevant again. If this attitude seems incomprehensible to you, recall that there are politicians and reactionary Christians who are now saying that empathy is a flaw or even a sin. www.ineteconomics.org/perspectives...

I love the fact that they include a link to clinical trials dot gov in the article. Using Only Air, Intranasal Device Treats Migraine Attacks 🩺 www.medpagetoday.com/meetingcover...

"Moreover, in practice, it is often institutional and prudential concerns about medical malpractice liability that leads psychiatrists to use those powers more often than is necessary."

"Unvaccinated adults, however, are a uniquely vulnerable group, because measles only becomes nastier and deadlier with age...Pneumonia and encephalitis, or infections of the lungs and brain respectively, are more common." 🛟🩺

I think this is Sceloporus jarrovi, but I am not sure. It was in the Chiricahua Mountains in Arizona, USA. 📸🦎

RFK Jr is dead wrong about this. It is not *hard* work that is therapeutic; rather, it's *meaningful* work. And it has to be meaningful to the person who is doing the work. Nobody else can decide for that person what is meaningful to them. 🧠 #Medsky #psychiatry www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...

There's a long history of American efforts to annex Canada.

It is an abuse of power to declare an emergency when none exists.

"Now, our view is that the formula the administration relied on has no foundation in either economic theory or trade law." They argue that even if one accepts the stated goals, the math is just plain wrong. www.axios.com/2025/04/06/t...

A leaked memo from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Research Service division revealed Sunday that the agency has banned some key language from its vocabulary, including the words “climate” and “vulnerable,” as well as the phrase “safe drinking water.” newrepublic.com/post/193395/...

Not cool. Palantir makes surveillance software for intelligence agencies.

To extend Popper’s notion of the Paradox of Intolerance, it is important to appreciate the role of ambiguous communicative acts. Some people are intolerant, not only of diverging views; they also won’t tolerate symbolism that might be interpreted as implying a divergent view.
