There’s a growing sense of déjà vu in our world today: economically, politically, and even in medicine. A short thread on the parallels between now and the lead-up to WWII and what medicine can teach us about surviving the storm.
Adoption is not an alternative to abortion.
Adoption is deciding you don’t want to be a PARENT.
Abortion is deciding you don’t want to be PREGNANT.
Hope this helps.
After 8 billion doses (yes 8 BILLION, not a typo) Covid vaccines are at this point one of the most tested medical interventions in history and one of the safest ever
“You said you wanted to be alone. I just made sure alone didn’t mean neglected.”
Then he adds, “I’m not trying to be in your space, just around your day.”
I’m holding a bag of hot food and flowers, completely confused because I planned to just lie down and disappear into my couch.
Instead I ended up inventorying a surprise delivery I didn’t approve.
Somehow my “I need to be alone” turned into “you are being gently supervised from a distance.”
So I'm doing an internship at a hospital. there's a 56 yo man admitted. I observed whenever this lady visits, she literally lowers his blood pressure & heart rate by walking into the room. (Observed by other doctors too) I asked him who's she & he said "that's my wife"..crying 😭

The irony is that vaccines have become a victim of its own success.
They have worked so well - that we have lost our collective recognition and memory of how devastating these diseases can be.

Then one morning she said, 'I feel all sleepy,' and she went into a coma. In an hour, she was unconscious. In twelve hours she was dead."

I don't understand how we're not having a global revolution right now.
There are 3 million files of documented evidence about powerful men who
Raped
Cannibalized
Trafficked
Filmed
Terrorized
Tortured
Murdered
13, 14, 15 year children!
And Zero arrests.
ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.
We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.
I know this is gonna piss so many people off but there is a popular saying on the Chinese internet says "Even a top tier man is just an average woman". Someone wrote "A man who doesn't smoke, doesn't cheat, doesn't drink, doesn't gamble, no criminal records, stable job, cooks, cleans, emotionally stable, kind to his family is a kind of man that's so rare, but honestly every one of my female friends meets that standards and even more, so yeah even the best man is just an average woman" omg Shakespeare could never!!!😭😭
Yes, and people didn't name their children until they were 5 because the child mortality rate was 30-50%.
Today it's 0-5%, thanks in large part to vaccines.
If you'd like to go back to the world of yesteryear, bring plenty of tiny little caskets with you.
You'll need them...
A 22-year-old woman residing alone in a gated apartment complex in Bengaluru hosted a small, quiet get-together with a few friends at her own flat. There was no loud music or disturbance.
But the gathering drew the attention of “society uncles,” who were probably keeping a watch on her daily routine, and who confronted her late at night, questioning her conduct and her right to have guests. They told her that bachelors aren’t allowed in the society and asked her to call the owner of the house. When she calmly told them that she herself was the owner of the flat and was not violating any rule, the situation escalated further, with several committee members entering her home without consent, accusing her of drinking and smoking.
Parts of this confrontation were captured on CCTV cameras installed inside her flat for safety, footage that later became central to her case. The society members eventually called the police, but after verifying that no nuisance was being created and that the woman owned the flat, the cops took no action.
Rather than letting the episode pass, she chose to pursue legal remedies, sending notices for harassment, trespass, and intimidation. An urgent society meeting was called the same evening, where video footage from her living-room camera was screened before residents. Following this, the accused members were removed from their positions on the society board and fined Rs 20,000 each for violating bylaws. A written apology was issued to her.
She was not letting it pass this easy though. Next, she filed a ₹62-lakh civil suit, seeking compensation for mental trauma and reputational harm, along with a permanent injunction to prevent further interference.
I hope she wins. This case will be landmark in India because it legally challenges the unchecked authority of RWAs, clearly establishing that society committees have no right to police personal behaviour inside a privately owned home. By treating moral policing as actionable civil harassment with financial consequences, it will set a deterrent precedent and strengthen individual residential autonomy.
