This is so so upsetting. So Grammerly is violating the memory of bell hooks AND making AI versions of the rest of us before we're even dead. Someone tell me who to sue, not even joking.

LITERALLY! I'm annoyed. Can't even get her NIL Wisconsin jersey. Only tshirts. 😩

Hospitals get hacked all the time. Also, It's using genAI. Data centers are currently polluting the land and water in majority Black communities and running up everybody's power bills. It's not like it's a local model on the doctor's device. If it was a simple voice to text dictation maybe.

I just don't understand why I can't get a Laila Edwards Olympic jersey anywhere

I get almost as many comments about how ugly or fat I am on my workout posts as I did on my posts before I started lifting. I’m not asking for sympathy. I just want to remind Black women that the point isn’t if we are pretty or skinny or not. The point is they want us to not exist.πŸ™„

This should become a case study in global health ethics courses

In Talking to Parents About Vaccines, Pediatricians Navigate a Sea of Misinformation

β€œAnd doubts about vaccines are increasingly spilling into refusal of other mainstays of pediatric medicine… At a hospital in Boise, Idaho, for example, three infants died last year after their parents declined a shot of vitamin K, administered to newborns to prevent bleeding, said Dr. Amanda Lee”

I still lose sleep over some typos in my writing.

Imagine writing/publishing this and not vanishing from public commentary forever.

California health care facilities must be sanctuaries from ICE | Opinion β€œICE in patients’ rooms can be resisted, and the data pathways that can expose patients to ICE can be closed.”

🚨Invisible data pathways can expose patient information to ICE.

πŸ—£οΈIn my new op-ed, I urge CA + all states to:

1️⃣ Require state-funded health systems to disclose data sharing w/ outside companies
2️⃣ Bar vendors that contract with ICE
3️⃣ Give patients clear notice on data collected and who can access it

Some companies have candidates respond to questions over recorded videos not live zoom interviews. I wonder if that's what it was?

Learning that Pete hegseth ( secretary of defense ) spent $1 million on Alaskan king crab and $6.9 million on lobster tails in the month of September, 2025

They are in there using tax payer dollars to make seafood boils every single day for the administration and I cannot help but laugh

IMO it's a return to 90s white rail thin culture. But this country has always been obsessed with quick fixes.

I'm glad it's increasing access for people who NEED them bc they're incredible meds. But already fit/thin celebs promoting them, influencers wanting to lose 5 lbs...the marketing is wild

"With the S&P 500 dividend yield currently under 1.3%, you’d need more than $700,000 invested to generate $10,000 a year."

I don’t even know anymore. War, the senseless murder of civilians, pedophiles in power, just a whole lot of fuckshit.
