  3. So California is trying to legislate 3D printing using technology that doesn't exist designed around standards that don't exist to block something that's already illegal 🤦 Call your state senator and ask them to oppose AB 2047, it does nothing for public safety.
    The bill: leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/fac
    Bit of info: youtu.be/b6fpPStIAsY
    Find your senator contact info: findyourrep.legislature.ca.gov/

  8. Here's some positive news. I find it encouraging to see a candidate like Tom Steyer call out the political capitulation on transgender rights and stand up firmly for trans youth. We need more of this leadership.

  10. And this is why I'm voting for Katie Porter. Because you know what? Women *are* angry, and we're allowed to expess it.
    Much better Porter the clown car of privileged rich men who probably all have call girls on the side and are unfit to lead.

  12. Question for folks clued in to CA gov polls:

    If, say, 50% of Swalwell's polling numbers swing over to Porter, does this save us from a 2 Republican runoff?

  14. Okay @ CA state government, what the FUCK are you on?

    legiscan.com/CA/text/AB408/202

    This bill rewrite is... several layers of fucked up and unfair to both healthcare workers struggling with substance abuse, and healthcare workers who are mentally ill or disabled.

    A choice quote: "This bill would revise and recast those provisions and would instead authorize the board to establish a Physician Health and Wellness Program to support, treat, monitor, and rehabilitate physicians and surgeons and other professionals licensed by the board with impairing physical and mental health conditions that may impact their ability to practice their profession in a reasonably safe, competent, and professional manner."

    You can't treat mental and physical health the same as substance abuse. They are different vectors and you approach them differently! (Also, side note, many people who want to talk on substance abuse *really* want to ignore the part where people often start using *because of inadequate healthcare and/or medication and/or pain management access*. We really have to address all sides if you want to address substance abuse.) Why are you writing this into a bill about specifically substance abuse, for one?

    For two, mental health can be chronic. I would hope a healthcare worker with chronic mental health conditions would have access to meds/therapy/whatever to help stay stable—but in reality, it's *already* stupendously hard to get licensed if you have a mental health dx, and that's country wide if not world-wide.

    Like people in residency asking if it'll fuck them over to seek treatment: reddit.com/r/Residency/comment

    Doctors during early pandemic *forgoing mental health care because they might lose their licenses*: aamc.org/news/doctors-forgo-me

    This AMA article from July 2023 celebrating medical boards (including CALIFORNIA) being less invasive so healthcare workers can get mental health care mayhap: ama-assn.org/practice-manageme

    And now for the piece de resistance: a research paper on the high levels of mental health issues healthcare workers experience! pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/

    (Side note: Kentucky already has something like the above bill is proposing. South Carolina law is fucking prohibitive on this subject: you basically cannot be mentally ill or physically disabled or it's automatically physician misconduct, is how that reads to me. So uh. No.)

    Shoutout to @camilla for the citation hunting. 💕💕
