It’s probably hard for people who weren’t alive in the ‘80s to grasp how revolutionary it was to talk frankly about sex and bodies and health in public — at a time when not talking frankly about sex and bodies and health could kill people (even more, or at least differently, than it can now).

Hopkins: “beginning in fall 2024, our School of Medicine will be tuition-free for students from families earning under $300,000, and students from families earning up to $175,000 will receive a full ride, support that includes both tuition and living expenses.”

Bah, too bad for Coco.

'But Dr. Jordan, then still a doctoral student at the University of Leeds in Britain, saw something that no one else did. It had long been known that estrogen promoted breast cancer growth in postmenopausal women — and he suspected that tamoxifen could help stop it.' www.nytimes.com/2024/07/03/s...

Again, Black people are an exception here, as basically anyone who stayed in the Jim Crow South has a living memory of living under what amounted to fascism, including the “always walking on eggshells/lack of social trust/long periods of boring endurance/randomized terrifying violence”

Pretty much. What it mostly boils down to is that most Americans really don’t have the faintest idea what living under modern authoritarian regimes actually looks like, and how it’s often at the same time way more boring and way more scary than they’d imagined.

I try not to think to much about morons who say sports aren’t political, and players should “stick to dribbling” etc, but Reggie Jackson gave an extended panel answer at the Negro Leagues celebration yesterday about how awful it was to play in Birmingham, with all of its racism, and it’s everything

Sally Ride’s 1977 letter to NASA fits in a single post: "To whom it may concern, I am a PhD candidate in astrophysics at Stanford University, and am interested in the space shuttle program. Please send me the forms necessary to apply as a 'mission specialist' candidate. Thank you, Sally Ride”

Sally Ride became the first US woman in space #OTD in 1983. She was one of three mission specialists aboard the Space Shuttle Challenger for STS-7. At age 32 she was also the youngest US astronaut. 🧪 👩‍🔬 🔭 Image: NASA

There's no universe in which this should be the responsibility of the person receiving the calls.

The first rule of avoiding scam calls is to never answer unknown numbers, and even some known ones. Curious? Bored? Worried it’s an emergency? Wait the extra minute it takes for the call to go to voice mail, then decide if it’s legitimate.

Sick of scams? Stop answering your phone.www.washingtonpost.com Phone scams are still hugely popular — and they depend entirely on people curious enough to answer.
