She, her, hers. 31 and apparently a real adult. Super queer, super liberal, super nerdy. MSW. Therapist. Has lots of opinions.

At least 7,508 pedestrians were struck and killed by vehicles in the U.S. last year, a report found. Safety in the U.S., a global outlier in roadway deaths, can be improved through infrastructure changes and traffic enforcement, the analysis said.

At the hearing for the deputy @NASA administrator today, nominee Jim Morhard was asked by @EdMarkey if he agrees with the scientific consensus that humans are the dominant influence on climate. He said he couldn't say.
Well, I'm a scientist, and I can. Here's why. (thread)

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users.

ALL ROAD USERS.

And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s safer to NOT have them.

Something to think about in this, post pandemic, 'back to the office' times.

90 years ago this month, Nazis burned books.

The books they first burned were the books from the Institute of Sexology, decades of research in transgender medicine and health.

History doesn't always repeat, but it certainly rhymes.

Let's be clear about what is actually happening here.

The idea that we can live with Covid WITHOUT any mitigation measures and expect things to turn out ok (both for individuals and as a society) is a lie.

We are watching an astounding mass delusion unfold in real time. 10/

[Debra Caplan @debra_caplan]

But, truth is truth. Long Covid is common + highly debilitating. It is likely to have significant long-term health consequences. We don't have medicines or treatments to help people yet.

It is very reasonable to want to avoid Covid even if you are vaxed, young, and healthy. 17/

Not at all surprising.

The purpose of a gun is to kill things.

If you have a gun purely for display, most people disable it (remove the firing pin, etc.) so it is not a workable gun. If you only shoot at the range, you can store your guns there.

Otherwise, it's to kill. Animals and people.

SARS-CoV-2 is presently circulating in the U.S. at higher rates than this time in 2021 & 2022 combined.

Biobot has several elegant graphs of #COVID wastewater data. Here is their year-over-year figure.

I’m working with experts at my job now and the wildest thing about the COVID research coming out is there’s not even a debate that of course it’s damaging to get this disease. It’s not like some ppl are finding “yeah ppl should be totally fine after getting it ten times”

[Fifty Shades of Whey @davenewworld_2]

The price of a house in the US is currently the most unaffordable it's been in nearly a century. Millions of Americans are either homeless or spending a majority of their income on housing while about 16 million homes sit vacant.

These are the horrors of capitalism.

Human activities have transformed the planet at a pace and scale unmatched in recorded history, causing irreversible damage to communities and ecosystems, according to one of the most definitive reports ever published about climate change. https://t.co/oaEiykaEsS
