    In Wisconsin. She said she’d never been to New York, she just thought the jacket was pretty. It is. I asked if I could take her picture. “But I’m not pretty,” she said. I told her I thought she was. “Ok,” she said. “I’ll close my eyes and think so.”

    Maybe you don’t like to sneeze and cough on other people. Maybe I do. Why can’t we agree to disagree?

    I respect your decision not to drink and drive. Why can’t you respect mine to get blitzed before I drive home?

    What the hell is going on, ? You did a good job handling the pandemic w/ science for over a year. You were praised for it. And then one day you just decided, Hey, let's throw the kids to the wolves?

    Vermont shatters its pandemic record with 314 cases. , it is time to do much more to protect the health and education of Vermont children.

    11/ Voucher systems reframe education as a personal responsibility, not a community responsibility. In a state where diff. people have diff. levels of material wellbeing, access and opportunity, and face different kinds of bias, that means not all children have the same access.

    Maddening

    1/ Yesterday, the Chair of VT’s State Board of Ed attended a local school board meeting. He introduced himself as “not a resident” (a second home owner) & advocated for sending private school vouchers to programs that are allowed to pick and choose who they enroll.

    Tell us, WaPo editorial board, just what is Trump’s word worth?

    GOP calling for Milley’s head mainly to make noise. But note shifting ideology: his “crime” was following protocol. They’re rewriting the narrative to make protocol criminal. Nixon said it’s not illegal if the President does it. Trumpers say it’s *only* legal if Trump wants it.

    Rightwing actors, such as Jon Voigt and James Woods, who both made movies I love, are one thing. Rightwing media puffing up has-beens like Scott Baio is dumb but whatever. But rightwing media grifting off troubled souls such as Randy Quaid & Rose McGowan…

    The idea that since you once received a misdiagnosis therefore doctors are all untrustworthy, & you should prescribe yourself ivermectin because google, makes as much sense as swearing off all books just because you once read Ayn Rand.

    Look, I knew the scythe and the ragged black cloak were probably exaggeration, but tbh I still held out hope that the Grim Reaper would look cooler than this

    The victim deserves compensation for that negligence, just as a victim of a car accident does. But it doesn't mean the doctor is incompetent or evil, anymore than causing a car accident necessarily means the driver is incompetent or evil. 2/2

    I literally sue doctors for the mistakes they make that cause severe injuries and I still trust doctors. With rare exceptions, I would trust the ones I sue because I know it's not conspiracy or even general incompetence, it's one negligent act. 1/2

    The thing where you think, “doctors really messed up w/ me once (or more), so probably google (or my pastor) is a safer bet”—I get why it feels that way. But it’s just not true. Had I reached that conclusion, I’d be dead now. Let’s all try not to be dead now — side with science.

    Getting informed includes recognizing that while medicine can make huge mistakes, it’s not a conspiracy of millions. That anecdote alone isn’t evidence. That reading data requires literacy & that data literacy evolves & even then it’s still really hard & often not clear.

    I don’t put “research” in quotes to mock the work of getting as informed as possible. I did that w/ my heart & you shld do that w/ yr health, too. But what we do when we read secondary sources isn’t actually research.

    I’m writing this because I’ve been encountering more & more “progressive” people, not Trumpers, speaking anti-science, because they or somebody they know has had a bad experience w/ doctors. I did too. & still they saved my life. Their odds are better than yr “research.”
