As we passed each other
in the supermarket aisle
the woman in the flag shirt
glared at my mask and hissed:
“people like you
make me sick,”
and though I meant
to ignore her and keep walking
instead I heard myself reply,
“people like you
are why everyone
keeps getting sick.”

In a normal world this is headline news but instead you’ve probably missed this entirely: Trump's spiritual advisor & mega church pastor Robert Morris has pled guilty to raping a child for 4 years, starting when she was 12. He made 0 apology in court. His punishment is 6 months in jail.

Six Months for child rape. 😓

Not an immigrant. Not a drag queen. A MAGA “Christian” pastor. Reminder that every MAGA accusation is a confession.

There are not enough pejoratives in the world to aptly describe these people and their deeds.

"As many of you already heard, ICE is launching a nationwide operation today, Friday, October 3, reportedly named 'Freaky Friday' that will target unaccompanied children aged 14 and older of all nationalities."

I've never seen Democrats so excited before. They get to be out of power and help Republicans! There's a spring in their step, a song in their hearts...

The Democrats are willing to sacrifice people's health and happiness to pass "mandatory" legislation, and they are willing to kill people for the military industrial complex without an ounce of shame. They are willing to pretend to support immigrants one moment, and vote for an unconstitutional deportation law the next.

This describes one of the simplest, most elegant acts of resistance I have ever seen.

Citroen’s genius act of sabotage against the Nazis in World War II

When the German army rolled into France in 1940, the boss of Citroen was never just going to just lie down and surrender

#Obesity is very much a disease of #inflammation (not fatness). This thread of inflammation ties obesity to #diabetes and ties both of those diseases to the complications of #COVID.

New research on COVID and diabetes brings this thread into sharp focus.

I'm sure she caught it (cowpox) on her shoulder by touch 🤡

I note the rat had begun to cough before it died

“On January 3, she had purchased a rat from the same pet store as case-patient 1. Soon afterward, the rat began to cough and show signs of hemorrhagic lachrymal oozing; the rodent died on January 6.” (Ninove et al., 2009, p. 781)
