The Alaska Department of Health has confirmed a case of measles in a child who recently traveled through several public locations in Anchorage.
If you or someone you know may have been in any of the locations listed below, it’s important to monitor for symptoms and consider vaccination.
🧠 Why this matters:
• Measles spreads easily — it’s one of the most contagious viruses out there. Those who are not vaccinated or are immunocompromised, including infants under one year who cannot yet be vaccinated, are at higher risk for severe disease and rely on those around them for protection.
• Early detection protects those closest to you and helps reduce the risk of severe illness and complications.
• Vaccination is the best protection — one dose of the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine is ~93% effective, and two doses offer ~97% protection.
⏱️ Watch for symptoms 7–21 days after exposure:
• High fever
• Cough, runny nose, red eyes
• Rash that usually starts on the face and spreads source

‼️Our Liberating Brown Fatherhood workshop is BACK‼️ June 14th 10am-11:30am PST via Zoom, and June 7th in person here in Santa Ana in partnership with @latinodad_connection. Comment DADS down below for details ✊🏽☀️
What have we been taught about what it means to “be a man” in our world? What does it mean to be a “good father?” For those of us from the Latino & Chicano community, what did manhood and fatherhood look like growing up? Answering these questions can be difficult, especially for those of us who didn’t have many positive examples in our own lives.
Our Liberating Brown Fatherhood workshop offers men, fathers, and father figures a space to share our stories and reflect on:
☀️the experiences we had growing up as men
☀️the examples we had (or didn’t have) of men and fathers in our lives
☀️the lessons we learned, and the lessons we’ve had to unlearn
☀️how to strengthen our connection with the children in our lives source

"Can you name a person saved by Luigi Mangione?"
Apparently yes
Reblog of account with incomplete name:
"My fiancee: The tumor in her brain would be virtually impossible for us to pay for but the timing of the murder caused so many insurance companies to panic and briefly accept claims they normally would have fought. She was in blinding and immeasurable pain, and today she's fine. "
Tumblr user alarajrogers:
Saved by the actual killer; let's not forget that Luigi Mangione was almost certainly framed and is most likely not The Claims Adjuster. (I love that name. Robin Hoodie was good too, but The Claims Adjuster is perfect.) source

"you think people should commit insurance fraud to help trans people get hrt!?" yes. i also think they should aid pregnant people in TX seeking an abortion and hide undocumented immigrants from ICE. if you aren't willing to break fascists laws, then you aren't resisting fascism. source

someone in my notes is saying "I'm not disabled but it sucks I can't walk without experiencing pain" pal.
Tumblr user psychotic-gerard:
the experienced pain on baseline of a nondisabled person is zero. the experienced pain on low-level activity [walking, etc.] of a nondisabled person is zero. if you overdo it [time-wise] or you do more intense activity, you will feel pain but that pain shouldnt stop you from doing things. if you really overdo it, the pain might stop you but it should be short-lived [a few hours], with allowance for slow fading [over a period of days.] if the pain doesn't get better at all after a few days, you're injured or disabled source
