"Thanks to hundreds of years of treating the male body as the default in medicine, we simply do not know enough about how disease manifests in the female body."

This is big one. I'm a woman who's been misdiagnosed for the simplest of things. Twice I've blown my ACL, and both times it took 6-8 months to diagnose ... even tho the first time I pulled the ACL right off the bone. My rotator cuff took 20 yrs. All because women aren't supposed to hurt themselves at work.

I'm sick of the BS

@tst123

Ofc he did. His lawyers probably threatened to quit if held it.

But it would have been funny as hell to watch multiple prosecutors use his lies against him in court.

@MicroWave

They murdered her because they thought she was a shoplifter?????

In what universe did it become ok to murder anyone for shoplifting???????

#ACAB always and forever

@HLMenckenFan

That's a murder charge if the parents did it so it should be the same for Abbott.

Jayzuz America. What in the fuck are you doing???

@Potatos_are_not_friends @Lanky_Pomegranate530

She murdered 7 babies and attempted to murder 6 others.

Please read the article instead of just the headline.

@Blamemeta @HLMenckenFan

When authorities have lied so often before why would you believe, without quesion, what they say happened here?

I'll wait for the investigation to be completed first.

@SheeEttin @FaneW

While they're at it they could also stop being domestic terrorists.

@donut4ever @jeffw

And fuck the DNC for manipulating shit so Bernie lost out on being the candidate instead.

This whole motherfucking thing could have been avoided if the DNC had just kept their fucking machinations to themselves ... cause Bernie would have won.

@djflusso @MicroWave

Coming from a nation with exactly zero right-to-carry I disagree.

I have visited the US before but honestly won't again. I'm just not comfortable walking around with people who have become immune to the violence they perpetuate by carrying guns just about everywhere.

It makes no sense to me to live in that kind of constant fear. Like seriously, I don't know how all you aren't dead because your amygdala and hypothalamus are exploding from the stress.

@Bo7a @sik0fewl

Yup. People are pissed at Trudeau and the Liberals so automatically turn to the Cons instead of, you know, the NDP or Greens ... like we have a two-party system or something.

@btaf45

The super-shitification** by sold-out governments and the H U G E fossil fuel industry against 50+ years of scientific climate change warnings hasn't forced any changes, it's unlikely watching it play out will do anything. In fact all we're seeing now is even more drilling operations beginning and even less care about the human cost.

At this point we can only hope for the best and prepare for the worst because we ain't seen nothing yet.

Whataboutism at its finest. Par for the course for Muricans who believe they are king of the hill in everything but just can't admit that also includes gun deaths, Black maternal mortality rates, homelessness and healthcare expenditures.

@MicroWave

Musk is just working on wiping the whole thing out of existence.

@echutaa @vettnerk

If I were a doctor in Texas I would be leaving Texas asap.

Same for Florida.

@gAlienLifeform

This is what happens when you put for-profit companies in charge of anything and everything.

@commie @FuglyDuck

His bail was revoked because he was contacting witnesses.

Classic example of fuck around and find out.

@Noah @MicroWave

Cory Doctorow calls it autoenshittification and wrote about it here ... https://pluralistic.net/2023/07/24/rent-to-pwn/

@AttackBunny @ConditionOverload

Reagan and Thatcher were the worst thing to happen to the world at a time when we still had a fair chance at stopping climate change.

@floofloof @RandAlThor

Yup. Reagan and Thatcher just did what their rich friends wanted them to do, and fucked us and the earth for a long time.
