“fuck it, i’ll do it!” —black women
Black women are routinely erased from public memory and historical narratives of resistance.
Black women powered the civil rights movement, but rarely became its stars.
A THREAD!

I am utterly convinced that God will have all kinds of grace if we got the theology wrong. I’m not entirely sure about how God will take it if we got the loving other people, seeking justice, and choosing mercy part of life wrong.

So all of this to say:
There is trauma in the running.

Two weeks ago, I had four precious 12-year-old girls, including my daughter, with me at the county fair. They were getting blue Icees and corndogs for the walk to the car and ride home. (1/21)
Wow! This could have huge impact in medical research! The sex of the person handling the mice can influence the outcome of the experiment. Mice handled by males are more stressed and showed an aversion to the scent of males. There are so many questions that arise from this study.
Please get the vitamin K shot for your newborn!
Vitamin K is a natural nutrient that helps our bodies clot blood.
Older children get Vitamin K from green veggies, meat, eggs, and as a byproduct of healthy bacteria in the intestines.
But babies have very little Vit K at birth, because it doesn’t pass thru the placenta easily.

In 1995, 14 wolves were released into the wild in Yellowstone National Park. Scientists at the time did not suspect that this would radically change the entire ecosystem of the park. 1/n

So this blew up. We're all angry. If you want to turn your anger to action, write your Representative about HR8078 - Reducing Medically Unnecessary Delays in Care Act of 2022, which would require that prior auth and appeals be done by a physician board-cert in that specialty.

I worry about widespread persecutions against US scientists from the extremists in the US Congress. The midterms should not be viewed as a hunting license vs American scientists. I hope our professional and scientific societies have a plan? thehill.com/policy/healthcar…

The result: there’s only enough cuts to physician earnings available to save $10B out of our nation’s $4T health care spending. This is about 0.25%.
By the numbers, Physician income is NOT the place to look for savings.
30% of wasteful healthcare spending comes from ONE source.
