Pregnant people who received a messenger RNA, or mRNA, COVID-19 vaccine during their first trimester did not have a greater risk of giving birth to infants with structural birth defects than those who didn’t receive the vaccine then, according to datafrom an observational cohort study published in JAMA Pediatrics. The study involved more than 42 100 pregnancies that led to live births. The results “should provide reassurance to pregnant people and their obstetric care practitioners,” the researchers wrote.

There used to be a load bearing post where that 5 gallon bucket is and they’re doing a bunch of jackhammering and concrete pouring to replace it and this is the temporary workaround. My small balcony is above that. Should I be nervous?

I'm not making any predictions (cf. @timbray) but am willing to imagine that the momentum can sustain and even continue to grow.

I'm also willing to imagine that Big Journalism won't matter nearly as much as it thinks it does to the wave of new voters now being activated. https://mastodon.social/@dangillmor/112855692429223771

Please keep in mind that the Harris euphoria will not -- cannot -- last nonstop through November. There's a natural ebb and flow to everything. Count on the Trump cult getting part of their vile act together after their initially flummoxed response.

Meanwhile, Big Journalism is going to do everything it possibly can to stir up trouble so it can cover the election, as it loves to do, as blood sport. Issues? Ha.

We will save democracy. The hardest work begins now -- please do what you can.

Vance resents childless women because his entire life he's wished/dreamed he was a woman and could give birth to babies. Ergo, he hates those who could and choose not to.

Huh? OK, let's go back to its religious roots, although I don't think the sacrifice of 100 oxen to Zeus will be popular. Better: The games ended with a procession; a couch was carried from the temple of Hera to the temple of Zeus. 😉

Mohammed Assaf, a 17-year-old from North Gaza, has just died due to starvation. Mohammed did not suffer from any pre-existing conditions, but he was severely malnourished, and his weak body couldn't survive the starvation.

Israeli occupation forces are using starvation as a tool of war and are currently starving North Gaza to death.

Kind of awestruck at this #Olympics2024 #OpeningCeremony in #paris. The urban planner in me is floored at what a brilliant idea to showcase the history and culture of Parisians and France through the heart of the city itself. It's inspiring to see a city being used in a way that I don't recall seeing in my lifetime, but seems so obvious after tonight.

It will be interesting to see how the Catholic fascists and the Evangelical fascists convince themselves how to work together. The end result will probably be another bloody war of religion.

While I had doubts about Kamala 4 yrs ago, which I think were valid at the time, I started to see how she’d grown with Biden and I was pretty sure 8 months ago she might be the nominee. I was always quietly concerned about the age thing. I was comforted she was there.

Kevin LaRose He/Him 2 months ago • mastodon (AP)

Being that I’m six weeks younger than her, I’m happy to see people refer to her as young. Also, I saw some yahoo Congressperson from Tennessee actually call #VP Harris lazy today. You know and I know what that actually means, as does anyone with at least five working brain cells. How utterly brazenly racist. They’re not only not hiding it or saying the quiet part out loud, they’re shouting it from the rooftops, loud and proud.

From their own lips: "These transactions range from where they eat, if they attend their lectures, pay their tuition bill on time, where and when they move across campus, how often they do laundry, or how many Energy Drinks they buy at the library at 2 am before exams."

My students gonna adore this.
