Sexual health research grants (HIV and STIs) are dropping like flies. HIV research is especially being targeted. The field is being decimated and I can't begin to explain how bleak the mood is, and the fear of what comes next after this #IDSky #HIVSky #SaveHIVFunding

One of the top 5 global antimicrobial resistance threats, Neisseria gonorrhoeae is not to be messed with. We have newer treatment options but still pharyngeal infections are hardest to treat. A reminder to do extragenital site testing and a test of cure for pharyngeal infections at 14 days #STISky

Surrealing in the Years: Granny flat plan would have us living like garden gnomes Relying on granny flats simply gives landlords more opportunities to screw renters.

β€œAnyone who has ever spent time searching for an apartment online will know that many Irish landlords don’t even feel the need to make their traditional rentals especially liveable β€” which does not augur well for a situation that is less liveable to begin with.”

CDC removes data on sexual orientation, gender identity from website Data from an expansive federal survey on youth behavioral habits, including their sexual orientation and gender identity, have been removed from the website of the CDC.

The CDC is removing data sets that researchers widely rely upon because they include information on sexual orientation and gender identity. β€œIt feels like they’re trying to will us out of existence,” one researcher tells @theresagaff.bsky.social:

Delighted to attend this lecture, β€œArt, Sex and Anarchitecture” by Prof. Jack Halberstam in DCU today.

So much to think about but one of the notes I took was; β€œDo not seek to become part of of a system that requires your exclusion” which feels very now.

Ireland’s government face-plants on first day as partners trigger bedlam Independents who back Taoiseach-nominee MicheΓ‘l Martin’s new coalition provoke parliamentary gridlock over their strange demand to hold both government posts and opposition seats.

Ireland’s governing coalition got off to a rattled start today as its new member, a loose-cannon group of rural independents, insisted on holding positions in both the government and the opposition.
