and if you're an alum, you should be calling, emailing, whatever until the strike ends to the administration and board of regents, demanding that they go to the bargaining table in good faith and reach a fair deal quickly.

Researchers find that Americans actually do like solidarity when it comes to covid vaccinations.

"Protect others" is a more effective pro-vaccination message, study finds.

The choices during the early pandemic were already so difficult. And now they're getting just impossible.

COVID during pregnancy may alter brain development in boys

Boys born to mothers who got COVID-19 while pregnant appear nearly twice as likely as other boys to be diagnosed with subtle delays in brain development. That’s the conclusion of a study of more than 18,000 children born at eight hospitals in Eastern Massachusetts. Nearly 900 of the children were born to mothers who had …

lately, i've gotten back into cooking and playing with recipes. i'm enjoying cooking mostly plant-based dishes and making veggies taste good. and there's always been makeup, but finding new ways to be creative is very recharging.

I cannot stress this enough:

If your biggest problem is PUNCHING nazis, and not the actual existence of nazis, you are not only NOT an anti-fascist, you're straight up a fucking collaborator.

Ain't nobody asking YOU personally to punch a nazi (*extremely Dazed and Confused voice* "but it'd be cool if you did...") - just shut the fuck up and have a coke. Or don't, and be counted WITH the nazis when the chips are down. Those are the rules and we ain't changing them for YOU.
