#Trans and other #queer people often need very different self-defence tactics to cishets.

This is a super useful zine that outlines tactics, advice and practices to respond to threats against you: silversprocket.net/2021/09/13/

I can't believe nobody here is posting about this being Superb Owl week! This one is Oliver, a Great Horned Owl I once had in my care. #SuperbOwl #Owls

Cyclists are portrayed in debates about bike lanes as younger, athletic people. Berkeley's Commission on Aging recommended against supporting the city's current bike lane project (#Hopkins), apparently thinking bike lanes were not for older people.

And yet, over the past eleven years, the median age of the six cyclists and pedestrians severely injured or killed on Hopkins is 69. Only one of those people was under 50. The oldest was 78.

The stereotypes are wrong.

Here's my new hobby which you #TwitterMigration folks might also want to try.

Watch your Local timeline for people just arriving or making their first post. (It's not stalking. Really.)

And then reply with something like, "Hello and welcome! 👋"

Sometimes that starts a conversation. Sometimes you wind up following each other.

Why do that? Maybe to be as kind as all the wonderful folks who welcomed us here?

So, go ahead. Pay it forward. Make a new friend. It's fun. And, you know, social.

How wonderful it is that everyone, great and small, can immediately help bring about justice by giving of themselves!”

How about, "Stay home and use video conference instead."

This supplemental fig from EMPA-KIDNEY is particularly useful to all of us in the US who have to deal with insurance companies : #flozin (SGLT2i) may work even if not on RAS therapy. Caveat emptor applies (85% of participants were on RASi subgroup analysis etc)

January was my first month writing regularly - and this was one of the pieces that I'm most proud of. As a longtime Whovian, I couldn't help but relate my experiences fighting chronic illness to the Doctor's struggle in 'Heaven Sent'. Super dramatic of me I know 😅
But the allegory of it has been in my head for so long, I figured I just had to write about it!
