New vid PSA including Biden and Obama and I'm not sure if the other guys are famous or not, basically saying, 'hey, we men need to step in if we see something nonconsentual going down.'

cereta, years ago, was more expansive in her rant (go back in my tags and there's more discussion and a bit of thread listing), but it wasn't so different ( Read more... )

over on actual livejournal.  i post to that from the ipad, and there doesn't seem to be a dw client to do so.  that, and filters and stuff aren't set up here.   so if you're reading me on dw instead of lj, you are not actually reading me  unless LJ is mid DDOS.

Original article was more specifically re breast cancer treatments and adriamycin/herceptin, but in general, as it turns out, 94% of primary care drs aren't aware of the long term effects of common cancer treatment drugs

I posted to FB yesterday, It's nowhere near as graphic as many movies, but it's worth a "this can cause strong emotions" warning* - it's a PSA put out by the Houston police department, pretty well done, about surviving an active shooter emergency.

(obviously it's 911 not 999, if you're in the States.)

Picked it up from Allbleedingstops.blogspot.com, who notes one problem with this and most other media depictions of CPR: One thing that always bugs me about these videos is that the chest compressions look fake, well, because ( Read more... )

PSA to the pet owners on my Flist - there’s a surgery/dental only place in Richmond called Helping Hands, which by doing nothing other than surgery and dental manages to offer these services at a fraction of the cost most animal hospitals would.
