@AOC I’m disappointed to see you not masking in the house chamber. Please set an example and show America and other democrats that disabled people’s lives still matter
Context to how cold it is...Cincinnati is -7F at 11 AM and the last time it was -5F or colder at noon was 1/19/94. So if you are 30 years old or younger, you can't recall a day this cold in your lifetime. Coincidentally, 1/19/94 featured -30F wind chills, just like today.
[6:20 PM] We cannot overstate how dangerously cold it is going to be/feel tomorrow morning through the day. We are forecasting a minimum wind chill of -30F at Dayton, which has only occurred on 7 days in the past 25 years (would be first occurrence since 2014). Data courtesy IEM.
I can’t wait to become a high school English teacher and assign my students a short story so unsettling that it will haunt them for the rest of their lives
It's wild to me that just about every trans person I know is planning the next few years of their lives around the potential criminalization of their existence and the liberal position on trans rights is "haven't we done enough"
Ohio is a pro-choice state. A 60% majority of Ohioans support abortion access.
This year, Ohioans have an opportunity to elect a pro-choice governor who won’t interfere with our right to make decisions about our own bodies.
I really wish people would stop drastically using the scenarios of rape or incest as the sole premise for an abortion. A woman doesn’t have to be in a traumatic situation for it to be reason enough. In fact there is zero explanation that needs to be given.
There is no possibility that I would ever consentually get pregnant. But I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, and pregnancy would have a high risk of complications or could kill me. With the laws many states are trying to pass, I still might not be able to get an abortion.
I’ve thought about getting my tubes tied/removed for years, but finally scheduled an appointment today. I would prefer a tubal ligation, but those have a higher risk of ectopic pregnancy than total removal, and if abortion becomes inaccessible that risk isn’t worth taking.
So…when is the CDC going to call for the increased production of the smallpox vaccine, effective against Monkey Pox, and start recommending that immunocompromised people get theirs.
I’m glad that Lizzo apologized with full accountability, and better yet releasing the song w/o the slur. With that said, I hope the same people who had a lot of anti-black things to say under the guise of accountability about Lizzo have the same energy for their yt faves.
