Here’s the childhood immunization schedule that helps ensure we are not like those families I read about in history, where losing multiple children to childhood illnesses wasn’t uncommon. Many vaccines are three dose series with occasional later boosters. This is a gift.

It may be reductive to describe Russia as a petrostate, but as far as its trade account is concerned it is certainly raw materials that dominate - oil, gas and other commodities.

@Curbed @AOC @DianaBudds And in the process @aoc has sided with Wall Street speculators, gentrifiers & developers, & against a massive coalition of BIPOC-led housing justice orgs who take the opposite position that blanket upzoning low-income communities can fuel displacement.

I have genuinely spent 10 minutes starting at this but, no, it really DOES appear to be true that a bunch of cryptobros just spent €2.6 MILLION - 100x the asking price - for a book at auction in the mistaken belief that they would therefore own the copyright in it. https://t.co/2HmaGWHKWF
