A year ago, @danahercorp promised to release the results of an independent audit on TB test pricing but we still haven't seen it yet. Looking forward to seeing it soon: Your deadline is October 14th.

Them: Plese DM me the details. Me: The flickeringe hearthfire doth glow yn *The Red Dragon* taverne on a crowded night on the fifteenth daye of the month of Leaffall. You, an adventurer, sit at a table yn the corner, sipping delicious ale. SUDDENLY some details enter the room!

Get off the internet and into your own body with The Book of Good Times:

There was plenty of racism on the internet during Trump’s first and second campaigns, but on Elon Musk’s X, “the racism has now become so relentless and self-confident that it amounts to a genuine qualitative difference,” @thomaschattwill writes.

Yet another peer-reviewed study reports on interviews with ob/gyn residents training in states with abortion restrictions since Dobbs and describes the moral distress they experiencedwhen they were unable to provide abortion care.

Here’s another peer-reviewed article: a moving (and anonymous) account from ob/gyn residents in Missouri about the cases they have witnessed of care denied or delayed since abortion was banned there:

I hate that I get sucked into contentious political stuff when really all we need to know is that Donald Trump wants to eliminate every consequence for the people who stormed the capitol and refers to them as political prisoners.

Do you think it's a BAD IDEA that there's so much money in politics? Did you know it wasn't always this way, and it doesn't have to be? We could pass campaign finance reform but every time we try one of the political parties kills it and you can go ahead and guess which one.
