My Period Data Is Mine!

Today is #InternationalWomensDay and whilst there is a lot to celebrate, it is the most dark IWD day in my lifetime because:
- In the US, female #ReproductiveHealthcare has largely been stopped.
- In the UK, there is active campaigning to follow the US model and stop abortion.
- In Poland, #abortion is already #illegal - unless you are about to die.

Keep yourself #safe and keep your period data #private because it may save your life one day. ❤️

"At the #FDA, labs that analyze samples to ensure that #food, drugs, medical devices, and cosmetics are #safe and meet regulatory standards are already facing shortages...

to keep ultra-cold freezers running. These freezers preserve samples of cells and other biological material that reflect years, and sometimes decades, of #research. Delays in getting liquid nitrogen tanks could destroy that material."

Text from article (edited for length): ..."Now we are running out, asking colleagues at other offices to share what they might not be using,” they told WIRED. In addition, workers say FDA labs now have to go through a lengthy process to order liquid nitrogen, which is used to keep ultra-cold freezers running. These freezers preserve samples of cells and other biological material that reflect years, and sometimes decades, of research. Delays in getting liquid nitrogen tanks could destroy that material. Previously, new tanks could usually be acquired the same day as putting in a request. Now, it takes a week or so to receive a tank after initiating a request. An employee at the Environmental Protection Agency says her facility is not able to place regular orders of liquid nitrogen at the moment. “We have dozens of these freezers full of important environmental samples that are imminently at risk of being lost because we can no longer get our regular shipments of liquid nitrogen,” says the employee, who requested anonymity. These samples are used as part of research on detection and remediation methods for chemicals such as PFAS, which are found in many products and break down very slowly over time. “Scientists are being forced to jerry-rig the connection points on these freezers to accept pressures of liquid nitrogen they were not designed to handle,” the employee says. “Divisions are resorting to bartering with each other to obtain needed items.”

Jesus fucking H Christ people!!! Lock up your #firearms. It’s not that fucking hard. A #trigger #guard, small drawer #safe. Kids are curious, so keep guns away from them, unless and until your kids have take classes on gun #safety. And even then, don’t let your loaded firearms be unsupervised.

“I would like to use Bluesky. They've done a bunch of seriously interesting technical work on #moderation and ranking that I truly admire, and I've got lots of friends there who really enjoy it.”

“My rule – I don't join a service that I can't leave without switching costs – is my Ulysses Pact, and it's keeping me #safe from danger I've sailed into too many times before.”
