Bodily autonomy, still a thing

It's the misogyny, stupid.

Deadline is midnight tonight! I submitted my comment earlier today. #MECFS #LongCOVID #ChronicIllness #Disability

Ossoff: "What worries me right now is complacency about this race in Georgia, overconfidence about this race in Georgia. There's no such thing as a landslide victory in the state of Georgia. This remains the crucial battleground state."

An interesting thing happened. My niece, a doctor, thinks I have MCAS and recommended I try daily fexofenadine. Been on it three weeks now and the extremely painful cramps I was having with every BM have stopped. My doctors have offered me nothing new for ME/CFS for years, but this works. Hallelujah

This new zacharia-scaramucci math, anything to avoid the metric system

Smol Fry (named for where she was found, in a McDonald's drive thru) has made herself a cave of plastic

Omg omg omg I did not know this was happening and it rocks. They better have employed a bunch of disabled actors.

If you haven't listened to the exceptional @apmreports.org podcast IN THE DARK, which played a significant part in vindicating Curtis Flowers—thanks to an incredible woman-led reporting team—I can't recommend it enough

Go double check your registration! I just did.

All prisoners should have the right to vote while in prison

I've been covering the death penalty in depth for a dozen years now, and few nights have been as disturbing and dispiriting as tonight. This was a moral, ethical, and legal failure on several different fronts from many different actors. It wasn't *just* SCOTUS, though they sure were a key part.

NEW AD: Listen to this sh*t.

I know we’re all thinking about what happened at Cornell. But I also can’t stop thinking about Emma Sulkowicz and all the other young women forced to carry that weight. Read my column at the newsletter 💜

This is so satisfying. Wish I was there so I could leave.

Really and truly loling over here! NOT IN THE AIRLINES!

British Airways looking really incompetent here

Hi folks. If you saw this, you know the administration plans to only accept white South Africans next year. Tomorrow is Congress's formal say before the determination is signed. Please check this brief thread on why I'd like you to speak out for the Afghan people still in limbo...

He is not wrong. "There are reasonable grounds to believe that the reported 68 attacks that killed 223 people constituted crimes against humanity of murder under customary international law" - United Nations Special Rapporteur on U.S. Killing “Narco-Terrorists” at Sea www.ohchr.org/sites/defaul...

This is top of my list for vengeance. Give me human rights candidates to vote for.

Important: the USPS rule that SCOTUS blocked tonight was Trump’s big plan to control and restrict mail voting. But a separate policy remains in place: USPS is no longer postmarking mail as soon it gets it, which is hugely important for deadlines. So people must mail back with plenty of time.

I know there are differences in comma use in American English vs British English and that South Asian English is another flavor of British English but why oh why did the editor have to add so many commas in my report? There's no verb in half of those phrases. No verb!

“HRL has assessed based on ground reports from human sources, UN figures, media reports by Sudanese journalists, and the analysis of over 150 piles consistent with clusters of human corpses that at least as many as 60,000 people may have been murdered between October and November in El Fasher.”

NEW: Our analysis found that from 2020 to 2025, the rate of deaths involving ectopic pregnancies nearly doubled compared with the previous six-year period. The uptick was steeper in states with abortion bans.

@solomonrmissouri.com I just learned the word zaftig. Do you know this word? Seems like a useful word for you.

From what I can find*, the NUMBER of food recalls is more or less in line with historical trends. But CASES are way up! so as you said, I think it's a matter of our capacity to get ahead of/stop outbreaks having degraded significantly * pirg.org/edfund/artic... among others

Fucking Silo. How am I gonna get through this episode.

This Gloria Steinem essay found me exactly when I needed it to - If Men Could Menstruate

Hey, so based on what other people have said, and what I have now myself experienced, it appears to me that publishers are, um, how do I say this... Not doing a good job (or possibly any job) of checking to see if rights have reverted on a work before claiming them in the settlement.

@owillis.bsky.social Please do another edition! I have your book The Deepest State and it is still satisfying. Maybe a sequel? The Wokest State? Even a thread is cathartic.

this is correct: the USPS rule is about mailing *to* voters (not *from*) we have an explainer on this! boltsmag.org/mail-voting-...

“Lost media” no longer! I finally got permission to upload “AL’S BRAIN,” an 11-minute educational 3-D film attraction which ran at the Orange County and Western Washington fairs, and hasn’t been seen publicly since 2009. You can watch the whole thing here: youtu.be/2xujU87ZHt4

Too real
