Visiting Germany again soon, and, as always, I bought the public transportation ticket that will enable me to travel the entire country by bus, train, subway, tram, etc. everywhere for 50€ a month. It's not perfect, but man, do I miss the evil European Communist public services cabal here in the US.

I got a new rug. Never felt this much (or any, really) affinity for a rug. I may have to lie on it, listening to bowling sounds.

Let me just say this, as a historian, a woman of color, and a person who grew up in Germany: the idea that fascists will soften their politics once they're in office and that democratic institutions have some kind of inherent magical strength is false and dangerous. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/30/opinion/biden-trump-election.html?unlocked_article_code=1.wE0.fxat.XV1186tPZBXz&smid=url-share

This is the problem, right here. Not "off-label" prescriptions, not fat people, not diabetics. This right here. "Novo’s chief executive recently told CNN that it could take “quite some years” before it can fully meet the demand for Wegovy. In the meantime, it has sued nearly a dozen clinics and pharmacies that market or dispense alternative versions, accusing some of infringing its trademarks": https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2023/09/19/ozempic-semaglutide-compounding-pharmacies/

I... what? "A new ordinance, passed in several jurisdictions and under consideration elsewhere, aims to stop people from using local roads to drive someone out of the state of Texas for an abortion." (No paywall) #ChristianFundamentalism #Misogyny

Wait wait wait… So, you’re actually telling me that before this one 2023 study, none of the routine menstrual hygiene products were *ever* tested with actual blood instead of water or some other, ill-defined “liquid?” And that modern medicine bases related diagnoses on them anyway? I’m telling you, gynecology continues to be a misogynistic nightmare. https://www.news-medical.net/news/20230810/Study-assesses-capacity-of-modern-menstrual-products-to-better-diagnose-heavy-menstrual-bleeding.aspx
