If you are a healthcare reporter, the Adderall shortage has now also become a Vyvanse shortage in the US and there needs to be reporting on how patients are going to suffer without access to this crucial medication.

asking people with ADHD to call pharmacies about the availability of medications, because so many locations are on back order, and then realizing those pharmacies don't pick up the phone is pretty frustrating

HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra this week: ā€œif you’re dying of Covid today, you didn’t take precautionsā€ Not only is the Biden administration still victim blaming, their push to declare mission accomplished made it more difficult to ā€œtake precautions,ā€ as we documented this week
Xavier Becerra quoted in Politico June 7th 2023, full paragraph:

ā€œBecerra said that people still dying of Covid are mainly ā€œeither unvaccinated or undervaccinatedā€ and that ā€œif you’re dying of Covid today, you didn’t take precautionsā€ in response to a question about DeSantis’ vaccine skepticism from White House reporter Adam Cancryn at POLITICO’s Health Care Summit.ā€

Life hack: You can avoid swallowing bugs by wearing a mask during this ongoing pandemic and various climate crises
Quote Tweet
If you swallow a bug while hiking, riding a bike, or singing live on stage in front of thousands of people, just shake it off. If you spend enough time in the woods, it’s bound to happen. It’s not ideal for the bug (it’s you, you’re the problem), but you should survive.

Schumer received more than $281,000 from NextEra which is a partner in the Mountain Valley Pipeline which the Senator greenlit. Estimates say the pipeline will contribute nearly 90 million metric tons in greenhouse gas emissions annually.
Quote Tweet
This smoke and smog over NY and the rest of the northeast is a warning that we have a lot of work to do to reverse the destruction of climate change. We passed the Inflation Reduction Act to put us on track to reduce our greenhouse gas emissionsĀ 50% by 2030. But we must do more.

For people who like to pretend there’s ambiguity about the benefits of these programs
A high-profile universal basic income experiment in Stockton, Calif., which gave randomly selected residents $500 per month for two years with no strings attached, measurably improved participants' job prospects, financial stability and overall well-being, according to a newly released study of the program's first year.
Quote Tweet
Harris County, Texas, the home of Houston, has approved a guaranteed income program that will give 1,500 low-income families $500 in cash every month for 18 months. The money will come from $20.5 million in federal pandemic recovery funds.

This is what we mean by #InspirationPorn. It’s wonderful to celebrate their love, but the biggest barrier they faced wasn’t Down syndrome. It was societal #ableism and the assumption that people with DS shouldn’t be allowed to marry. THAT is what they overcame, not their DS.

The remarkable story of Tommy and Maryanne Pilling, the first couple with Down syndrome to be married in Britain, continues to inspire as they celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary in 1995. Despite facing discouragement and criticism, Tommy and Maryanne defied societal… Show more

The story opportunities for #SunSpider are truly endless. Would love to see/read a story where she experiences a joint dislocation and adapts how she moves as a superhero to allow the joint to calm down (ā€œhealā€ feels inaccurate). Regular-ass EDS messiness but for a superhero!

this is an interesting way to phrase "conservatives are in the minority on most college campuses because their ideas are super unpopular, especially with young people, and most of these students' peers disagree with their views"
Quote Tweet
At Ohio State, 45 percent of conservative students say they self-censor "several times a month" while just 16 percent of liberals say the same. goacta.org/resource/free-

*whisper-screams* it’s…not their personalities so much as it is their (assumed) naĆÆvetĆ©, (assumed) inexperience, (assumed) eagerness to please/desire for attention, etc. Which is all mostly to say they’re (assumed to be) easier to manipulate.

A mid-30s guy hit on me & my friend. We said we were 32; he expressed shock & said he thought we were 25. Then, he immediately lost interest, which is when I realized: as weird as it is when men prefer younger women’s looks, it’s way worse when they prefer their personalities.
