In February I compiled a bunch of data from sources including Texas Health & Human Services, Texas Policy Evaluation Project, the Journal of the American Medical Association, & the US Census Bureau in order to figure out what abortions in Texas looked like post-Dobbs.
Since virtually all the abortion clinics in TX shut down, the obvious question for many would be, "What abortions? It's illegal now. Right?"
Wrong.
I was looking specifically for data on out-of-state abortions and mail-order abortions, and what the data suggested was tragic.

Priyadarshi Mahapatra, who quit his MNC job to start a healthcare start-up to deliver affordable care right at the doorsteps of people living in Odisha’s most backward regions.
Launched in 2021 with his friends Shobhan Mahapatra and US-based Sanjay Swain, #CureBay aims to enable affordable healthcare in remote locations.
Give everyone N95s to deal with poor air quality from wildfires, & reduce Covid infections. Reinstate mask mandates in healthcare settings. Quickly transition away from fossil fuels. Plant lots of trees & hemp. End poverty with a substantial UBI, & provide good healthcare to all.

So much of the situation with nurses right now was not caused by COVID. It was just the cherry on top. For decades nurses have had a shortage, but what we don't lack is money hungry CEOs. 1/ wvnews.com/news/wvnews/re…

What we don't lack is bad leadership. From department managers on up to the top. The bigotry, racism, and outright hostile work environment created by corporate interest in our hospitals. We don't have safe working conditions, equitable pay or benefits... 2/
We are often forced to work while we are sick. Mandatory overtime. No work life balance. Lack of supplies and PPE to do our jobs and constant budget cuts while our corporate masters get raises. We are also threatened with termination if we want to unionize! 3/
💊 Older adults make up 56% of the global cancer population, yet they're just 40% of participants in new cancer therapy trials. The underrepresentation of this key demographic in clinical trials is a major concern. #clinicaltrials #healthcare #aging

1/15 🧵💡 Decentralized storage & compute could truly supercharge the #InternetOfThings (#IoT). But how? Let's unpack this crucial evolution for our hyper-connected world. 🌐👇
2/15 📚 First, it's crucial to understand the concepts. #DecentralizedStorage refers to data storage spread across multiple devices or locations, rather than a central server. #DecentralizedCompute refers to computations performed on these distributed devices.💻🌍
3/15 📈 IoT devices generate an enormous amount of data daily. Centralized servers currently deal with this load, but as more and more devices connect, scalability becomes a challenge. Decentralization offers a solution. #EdgeComputing #Scalability
Transgender health: Comparing model bills to real proposals; Many bills have preambles asserting that the risks of #gender-affirming care outweigh its benefits, which has been rebutted by major #medical organizations. courthousenews.com/transgender-he…
1) The AP obtained the texts of more than 130 bills in 40 state legislatures from Plural, a public policy software company, and analyzed them for similarities to model bills touted by the conservative groups Do No Harm and the Family Research Council.

Fiduciary obligations are duties that a person or entity has to act in the best interest of another party. In the context of health plan assets, fiduciaries typically include administrators or other individuals who manage the plan. These obligations can vary depending on specific… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
2. Duty of Prudence: Fiduciaries are required to act with care, skill, prudence, and diligence when making decisions about the plan's assets. This often means making well-researched, reasoned decisions that a prudent person would make in a similar situation.
We’ve seen the pace of #payroll gains decelerate to roughly the monthly trend pace from the last expansion; consensus has been waiting for this moment and expected a 195,000 job gain in May, but the data printed considerably stronger at 339,000 #jobs gained.
The three-month moving average of #nonfarm payrolls sits at 283,000, down from 334,000 jobs at the start of the year, but what the #LaborMarket imbalance needs is more supply and more slack.
The #unemployment rate ticked up to 3.65%, close to its 12-month average level, and average hourly #earnings (a volatile figure) gained 0.33% month-over-month and 4.3% on a year-over-year basis.

I have no followers so I'm sure this post will be a waste of #TwitterSpace. I have personally been blessed and cursed by the whole medical system most of my life. To start off, my father shot himself when I was 7 due to mental health issues. Back then depression and bipolar 👇🏼
was treated with drugs like Valium. He had a really low moment and boom. “Tell Roger I’m sorry” is what they told me he said. I was introduced to #oxycontin at the ripe age of 15. My first dose was 40mg and I was sick as a dog for hours. That would trigger a lifelong battle 👇🏼
With addiction to #opiods. After my mom abandoned me when I was 16 and after some time in a homeless shelter
then rehab, I began to get my life together at age 22. 23 im married and doing ok and wreck an #ATV (4-wheeler) off a mountain in #NorthCarolina and become #paralyzed👇🏼

I would never have thought that children have to suffer in the dark at home, that relatives would be mocked at the same time, instead of doctors providing help.

Wood burning can cause cancer, esp lung cancer, respiratory disease, heart disease, dementia, premature death, & other health issues which are devastating. Wood burning emits more CO2 than gas. Inaction and silence on this affects everyone.
No laws to stop residential burning (fireplaces, fire pits, backyard burning, planned burns), & no public campaign on the dangers of residential burning means anyone can burn and emit smoke into your home. No action now, leaves you, the next generation, & environment unprotected
