"In case anyone missed it, the tuberculosis outbreak in Kansas has now spread to Ohio.

[The Republican Administration] has ordered the CDC to not report on this"

Reporters did not receive a response when it reached out to school officials.

Health officials confirmed a person at a West Michigan school was diagnosed with active tuberculosis

I find it hilarious that he's ordering the CDC to report on it as if they're not going to say Well sir we're currently in the find out portion of FAFO.

If you think you might have been exposed to TB, there's a blood test for that. The sooner you start treatment, the better - ideally before you have any symptoms:

Both inactive tuberculosis (TB) and active TB disease can be treated.

Also, if you hunt/process/eat game meat, or work directly with cows:

<em>Mycobacterium bovis</em> is a germ commonly found in animals but can cause TB disease in people.

Just an FYI. The FDA is not allowed to announce any food recalls due to the health communications pause the current administration enacted. You can still find this information by visiting USDA the site directly.

https://www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls

Here’s the fda link to use to search for recalls, safety alerts, and market withdrawals.

So, while you are making your grocery list, you may want to visit the recalls list since there’s no public communication right now.

I know there's a decent percentage of Fandom Old Guard who are over here these days, but it can't be all of us. I want to know how useful a comparison it would be.

Like to numbers, reblog to sample size.

Your 20s are not about anything and your 30s are not about anything and your 40s... also not about anything

If nothing else, as a historian every time I get scared at the state of the world I have to remind myself that "uninteresting times" is a myth.

The world has always been in the throes of chaos and violence and fear, just in different ways and to different degrees. The anxieties of the past are no less real than our own, and we can learn from them. Normality and peace are fleeting, but we can always strive to increase those moments. We have to keep hoping and working for a better future. It's all we have. We may not succeed, but if we don't try, what are we living for?

Where's that tweet about people still living long fulfilling lives even through the fall of the roman empire because I think about it constantly

Adult Transgender Legislative Risk Map, November 2024

canisbeta

This map is made and maintained by transgender journalist Erin Reed. She read all 550 bills targeting trans people in America in 2023 and 586 so far in 2024 and she scores state safety based on proposed and enacted legislation. She regularly updates the map (including explanations of recent legislative changes) on her site. She has a separate map for trans youth (which: warning, is even more scary), since a lot of policies target minors specifically.

It’s depressing as all hell, but Erin does great work and I’ve been using her maps to plan my career and vacations for years. It’s helped me figure out where to apply for grad school, and helps me keep track of what states I cannot do a layover in while flying because of bathroom bills.
