The door is open for Britain to rejoin the EU “any time”, Michel Barnier said on Wednesday before warning the UK not to tear up Brussels regulations after Brexit...

Make no mistake, this’s why the Tories want to tear up all the EU regulations, to prevent us ever rejoining the EU under a new Government!

Haven’t been very active on Mastodon, but I came back on here to follow @dgbassani and @Billius27 data analysis.

The lack of transparency to information required to inform our risk assessments in a DIY pandemic is one of the biggest pitfalls of our public health agencies.

Shout out to those who advocated for mask use when they were popular… and when they weren’t.

Masks aren’t political, people are.

@cmclase

Thank you for the additional info.

I’ll speak from my experience, I have been wearing an N95 mask since the early days of the pandemic in all indoor settings & have not been infected with C19. I value my health (and that of others) more than dining in a restaurant. Health is fragile. My risk assessment includes asking myself “if I do X is it worth being infected with a novel virus?”
As far as an end for C19, I can’t say. I’ve normalized masking & adapting to protect my health. This is how I live with COVID, and it’s my new normal

If preventing respiratory infections because I mask is wrong, I don’t want to be right

The choices that were made.

This fact sheet gives a terrific overview of the benefits of Social Security to keep children out of poverty & retirees out of poverty - it is especially important to minorities & women.

Worth remembering that Social Security was rolled out under the care of Sec. Frances Perkins, the first woman to serve as a cabinet secretary (Labor).

Casting Agent: We need somebody who's basically a capybara. Just a big old human capybara, like kinda round and soft and noble. But, like, a veteran? And they solve crimes. By tricking people who aren't like capybaras at all, but who are mean to them. The kind of people who talk down to capybaras. We need a big old veteran capybara who solves the kind of crimes you'd do if you thought capybaras were stupid. And it's set in Los Angeles.

Peter Falk: Ok, I've got this.

@cmclase That's important information, thank you.

Please boost.

I am starting my thesis research. I am looking for community health centers in a variety of locations, and looking for their websites/FB pages. I am investigating the rhetorics used surrounding trans care, trans bodies, and trans experiences within those community health centers. I am looking at their methods of community engagement with the trans community.

If you are trans (or an ally) who knows about or engages with a community health center in your area, could you please reply here or DM me? I want to cast a wide net for my research, but want to do so by starting with actual trans people in those communities.

To survive
in this imperfect world
we are all of us forced
to make compromises
we wish it was otherwise
alas, it is how it is
and in the moment
even the best option
is rarely good enough
but it is one thing to try
and still have to compromise
and quite another
to just stop trying.
