A low-grade irritation in the shift in body politics in recent years: a resurgence of thin women posting mirror selfies captioned "and the BMI says this is overweight."
The point they are making isn't liberatory, it's anti-fat. It's "the BMI is bad because it categorizes some thin people as fat."

Tuck Woodstock presents "Sex Change and the City"

modesty laws prevented showing even one lousy frame of John Waters' PINK FLAMINGOS (1972) in the trailer, so the only footage in it is of people reacting to a screening they just came out of. every single type of extant queer person is contained in the specific sequences I have selected here

A new analysis by Stanford epidemiologists predicts that measles could become endemic again in the US in the next 20 years.
This would be a catastrophic failure and a result of anti-vax propaganda. Measles is a vaccine-preventable disease that was declared eliminated in the US in 2000.
