"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

Joyriding into Image Research: A Cautionary Tale

DAY 12 NF Fest: I use images a lot for research but I had not considered searching for my own book images--until I started a photography-driven project this year. YIKES! I'm so glad I came across this post today by @shreevebooks.bsky.social. So helpful! #kidlit

Jesse Ventura is right.

You can’t claim elections are β€œrigged” after winning the presidency, House, and Senate.

Either the system worked or your victory is illegitimate.πŸ‘‡

Maybe, just maybe, if enough people knew that ALL of us migrated out of Africa centuries ago, we might be kinder to those who migrate today?

I made a promise to Alex’s parents to continue to tell his story.

An ICU nurse at the VA, an outdoorsman, a deeply generous, compassionate friend and family member, and a true son of Minnesota. Rest in peace, Alex.

Kids have a right to vaccinations. Let's bring in the lawyers Children suffering from diseases that should have been consigned to history is a moral failure. Access to vaccines is a human right.

As we wrote, reducing access to vaccines is a violation of the rights of children

It’s the β€œseason of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a β€œseason of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

The destruction of one of the world’s great public health agencies is a travesty RFK Jr.’s latest attack on vaccines shows evidence-based science has been replaced by the ill-informed opinions of a quack

The destruction of one of the world’s great public health agencies is a travesty. RFK Jr. seems determined to replace evidence-based science with quackery and use the CDC as his mouthpiece, by @picardonhealth.bsky.social

If a child in a classroom pointed at another student and said quiet piggy, they would be in detention.

We do not accept that behavior from children. Yet, legacy media just shrugs it off.

Federal cuts upended clinical trials. A new study reveals the toll. Grants for 383 clinical trials were terminated and the funding disruptions affected more than 74,000 trial participants, according to new research.

A new study found the Trump administration’s cuts to NIH grants disrupted more than 380 clinical trials, affecting over 74,000 participants.

The cuts disproportionately impacted trials on infectious diseases and minority communities.

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common pediatric cancer, and 75% of ALL cases are in kids under six.

In the 1960s, survival rate for ALL was 10%. Today, it’s OVER 90%.

Why? Research & development of modern chemotherapies like vincristine.

Close your eyes, imagine being paralyzed… unable to breathe

Imagine being stuck in a claustrophobic iron lung, to breathe

In 1900, 31% of all deaths were children under the age of 5.  Today it’s 0.7%.  Vaccines, medications, and modern science are the reason why.  Trust the science, it’s been proven to work safely and efficiently time and time again.
