The black lung rate in Appalachia is now as high as it was in the 1970s.

Remember: Trump indefinitely stalled a rule that would limit miners’ exposure to dangerous silica dust, which causes black lung.

Trump doesn’t care about miners’ health. He never has and he never will.

Almost...almost. Just a little to the right...

Are we sure there aren't just ICE officers in Maine because someone picked the wrong Portland on a dropdown form?

I was also convinced Donald Trump would win and that he would turn into a fascist dictator who engaged in ethnic cleansing, and I was told that I was paranoid and overreacting

Now our communities are facing kidnappings/disappearances, civil rights are in tatters, and he takes bribes in public

Gotta say to the reply guys that y’all have been telling me “your analysis is a stretch“ about presidential politics since 2016 and perhaps at this point you can see why I think you should shut the fuck up and let Black women make some educated guesses in public

Scientists Finally Reveal Biological Basis of Long COVID Brain Fog.

Patients with brain fog may have disrupted AMPA receptor (AMPAR) expression—key molecules for memory and learning. Imaging of Long COVID patients showed elevated AMPAR density tied to more severe cognitive impairment.

“Our findings clearly demonstrate that Long COVID brain fog should be recognized as a legitimate clinical condition. This could encourage the healthcare industry to accelerate the development of diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for this disorder”

Hope looks like identification and treatment 🌈

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE.

Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it.

Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

I’m really only just getting into it but I genuinely love birding as a hobby. The entire goal is to look at the bird. Is there a bird? There is a bird! Look at the bird! If you are very keen you can learn what to call the bird so that you can properly thank it for the joy you feel when you see it. 🪶

Willow the goat has serious selfie game.

Is Kilmar Abrego Garcia alive? Because the amount of resistance to addressing his being trafficked gives the distinct impression that either he is dead or what they have done to him is so unspeakable that they cannot afford for him to be freed, seen, or spoken with.

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

I remembered (and figured out how) to cancel a subscription before it automatically renewed. There really needs to be some sort of ADHD award for this sort of thing. Like an ice cream cone. Or a new hobby starter pack of your choice. Or a new chicken. #ADHD-win

To reduce the cognitive load in data visualizations, directly label your data rather than using legends. This helps colorblind or visually impaired users. It also decreases the work of scanning back and forth trying to match the legend with the data.

The first 6-egg day of 2025 has arrived! I have wealth beyond measure.
