I didn't get much sleep last night and that is partially to blame for this blog post, in which I hypothesize exactly what was going on when "Santa Baby" was recorded.

Exec: Uh, and see. The thing is. The way you sing the song … it sounds like … like you want to … uh … like perhaps you’ve … Like you want to …

Eartha: Like I’m going to f*ck Santa?

Exec: … Yes.

Eartha: Of course it does. That’s the whole point.

Hey you.

Yeah, you.

You're beautiful.

Pass it on.

I am far more concerned about whether Donald Trump is indicted and ultimately incarcerated than whether he is reinstated on Twitter. Besides, who knows what crimes he might admit to. He has got to be a nightmare for defense lawyers.

Don't let them blame Club Q on some "lone madman."

This is the fault of the right wing media in the US and UK who push a transphobic narrative and the rest who are silent.

This is the fault of the social media companies who allow bigots to spread their lies and hatred.

This is the fault of JK Rowling and her merry band of bigots. And those celebs and media figures who stay silent about her, who "both sides" a human rights issue. Who would rather allow hate to spread than deal with it.

The History of Earth as a 24 hr clock. Humans have only just arrived.

So the game remains the same.

1. Avoid infection of a biohazard level 3 pathogen.

2. If already infected avoid as many infections as possible.

3.Wear n95+ respirators anytime you’re near other mouth breathers.

4. Ventilation+filtration (portable HEPA or PAPR)

5.Maintain your immune system with vitamins C,D, zinc, adequate sleep etc.

6. Survive long enough to watch these motherfuckers pay for mass infecting us and our children.

So convenient that #twitter , a social media app where like-minded people gather to discuss many topics (including political issues) should collapse at a time of social unrest.

Does going to @NFL@twitter.com games increase risk of Covid?

If you are using a humidifier, keep an eye on your windows. If you see condensation at the bottom, wipe it off and back off on the humidification. Condensation and dampness leading to mold is a bigger concern than low humidity.

Powerful piece by Dr. Strong on mishandling of sexual harassment at Stanford. “Had Dr. Perlroth been adequately punished thirty years ago, his colleagues Drs. Montoya and Giacomini, among others, would have felt less emboldened to subsequently commit their own horrible acts…When punishment from prior acts is too lenient, deterrence against future acts will be inadequate.”

The public has no idea how small these units are and how close to the margins they run, even outside of respiratory illness season
Surrey Memorial Hospital (in a city chock-full of families) only has 16 in-patient beds in their pediatric unit

Hi everyone ! I am a French Finn dermatologist based mainly in Helsinki. I have special interests in various aspects of #dermatology including #tattoos #art and #internalmedicine #skinofcolor 👋🏻 I ll write either in Eng, Fra or Fi #IDMastodon #MedMastodon #twittermigration

I guess it's time for introduction on #MedMastodon

Hey everyone, I am a researcher who studies medical #cannabis and #opioids in pregnancy and children (clinical trials baby!)

I'm a first gen academic and tired mom of two toddlers. Expect sarcasm and swearing. #medtwitter

People grumbling that #Mastodon is slow at the moment... You just turned up with 1 million people in a tiny, rural village and you're complaining there's a queue to get into the only tearoom, which is run by gay pensioners Babs & Maureen as a retirement hobby on Mons-Weds. Relax!

“Research suggests that even at significantly reduced capacity, stadiums with 20K+ in attendance were associated with subsequent case spikes in surrounding communities.”

I remember when leaders and NFL bosses gaslit us that games weren’t super spreaders.
