Reminder that humans are also a part of nature. We are not some outsiders looking into this world - we are a part of the world. We evolved alongside every other creature and plant on this planet, we are no better and no worse than them, we just are.

It's all fun and games until a coyote chasing a roadrunner slams into it face-first.
While it’s true that you sometimes can’t trust mainstream news publications for unbiased reporting, you also can’t necessarily trust unsourced rage tweets and instagram infographics for accurate information. Media literacy is in the mf toilet.
elaborating since I wrote this in bed at 7 AM:
There’s always room for human error or bias even in the most reputable news sources, and it’s good to be aware of that and read critically. But if you’re wholly rejecting a news source that employs professional journalists and has standardized vetting and fact-checking processes, while at the same time consuming information uncritically from random social media users with unclear credentials….it may be time to reconsider your approach! I’m also not saying every un-sourced social media post about world events is automatically incorrect but this is why you should consult multiple news sources and develop your discernment skills
reminder: if you're getting an intramuscular injection (e.g. a covid booster or flu shot) and you're above 200 lbs with estrogen-based body fat distribution or 260 lbs with testosterone-based body fat distribution, you should be requesting a 1.5-inch/38mm needle. you might want to print out this sheet and bring it with you, because I have had pharmacy employees blithely tell me the 1-inch needle is fine for everyone, and I find a clear directive from the CDC just makes life a little easier.
(this is one major reason why obesity is associated with so many negative health outcomes, btw—shit is not designed for us and providers are not educated about our needs, so we have to educate ourselves about appropriate care and then make special requests to receive that care just to get to the baseline chances of success straight-sized people have by default.)
thabk you so much "the cdc recommends" were magic words and they were absolutely gonna use a standard 1" on me
