'The new podcast The Retrievals hears from a dozen women who had the same procedure at the Yale Fertility Center and who all reported extreme pain throughout. At the time they were told by staff they had been given the maximum amount of pain relief, meaning they couldn’t have more. However, it later transpired that a nurse at the clinic had been stealing fentanyl and replacing it with saline solution. It is thought that 200 patients had been denied pain relief during egg retrievals over a period of five months.'

Although Syria was a safe haven for Circassian refugees from Russia in the late nineteenth century, with the start of the civil war in 2011, Syrians fled the country to seek refuge elsewhere. In this work, Mohamad Hafez draws attention to Damascus, the capital of Syria and his hometown until the civil war began. An audio recording made by the artist during his last visit before the crisis captures the peaceful sounds of the city, including a call to prayer (athan) from the city's Great Mosque, children playing, and people conversing in a café. Hafez repurposed small objects in an ornate frame that is similar to those he was familiar with from his life in Syria. A surveillance camera and a secret service vehicle parked in front of houses draw attention to the danger looming over the city and the tensions between civilians and the Syrian regime.
• Provenance: Gift of the Barjeel Art Foundation, 2018."

'The problem with, say, Meta, is only partially that Mark Zuckerberg is personally monumentally unsuited to serving as the unelected, unaccountable permanent social media czar for three billion people.

The real problem is that no one should have that job. That job shouldn’t exist. We don’t need to find a better Mark Zuckerberg.

We need to abolish Mark Zuckerberg.'

great stuff from Cory Doctorow @pluralistic

Imagine if you could rapidly detect COVID-19 in public places by testing the air. Now you can! Researchers have developed a groundbreaking new air monitor that can detect the presence of an infected person in as little as 5 minutes. (1/3) 🧵

Perguntei no Blue Sky e pergunto aqui tb, conhecemos alguém na hematologia do hospital de Coimbra? Estou a aguardar notícias de lá há quase um mês e começa a ser urgente.

Due to technical issues, I find myself half a year late for the mass migration from Twitter to Mastodon. Disappointed with the direction mainstream social media is taking, Mastodon emerges as a refreshing alternative. Its open-source, decentralized nature promotes transparency, while community-driven moderation policies encourage healthy and civilized dialogue. I am eager to give Mastodon a try! 🐘

Good read, from the Guardian.
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/jul/10/westminster-scotland-proposal-decriminalise-drugs-brave-enough
Scottish politicians have the courage to decriminalise drugs, but Westminster is too timid to let them.
This is hard-hitting, "This debate is not really about drugs but about political courage. It echoes the discussion on capital punishment in the 1960s. Few dared advocate abolition, until a brave home secretary, Roy Jenkins, faced down his officials and got parliament to ban the rope."
