Google “Massachusetts crisis pregnancy” and this link pops up. It’s part of a statewide campaign, including public signage (highway billboards!), urging people to avoid crisis pregnancy/anti-abortion centers. The Commonwealth is not fucking around with this.

I am employed by a state healthcare agency in Massachusetts. It is really clear to me that they care about proactively protecting the health of the people of the Commonwealth. But if you need external proof that they really do care, see the below.

Taught mottainai to my wife. She said, this is way too complicated, I have no idea what's going on, I'm tired and don't want to think about it. Meanwhile I'm so into it!! Then, as with every board game, she absolutely destroys me. Only difference this time was that I had to tell her she beat me 😅

A couple of years ago, I started tracking all of my game design hours, breaking it down by game and task. I also include things like development work, rulebook writing, teaching, and general administrative stuff. Here's a look at 2024 so far, my first year designing as a full-time dad! 🎲✂️

Given the impact on our patients and the potential for improvement in our units, considering climate change is part of our social responsibility in the ICU.

Intensive care, unsurprisingly, has a dramatically larger carbon footprint than acute care; the difference is comparable to putting the patient in an airplane. Furthermore, the ICU’s footprint is dramatically higher in the United States than in other countries.

Effects seen in the ICU range from the immediate impact of catastrophic weather events to the secondary effects of infectious disease spread & the long-term impact on chronic disease exacerbation, all of which can affect the lived experience of patients and clinicians in the ICU.

Yet, climate change is manifesting in our local communities, more every day, and this touches our daily experience in the ICU more than we may recognize.

We may want the health system to do more about it. As clinicians practicing in the intensive care unit (ICU), the climate is particularly remote—in our units, we control and standardize the climate in every patient’s room. The weather can feel quite far away indeed.

For many of us, #climate change is intimidating but distant. We are worried about an abstract future, we hear all the time about how quickly it is approaching, we may be frustrated with how much is asked of us & how little it seems to matter what we do... aacnjournals.org/ajcconline/a... #medsky

Literally every charity I gave a one time donation to. Still getting snail mail from them years later. What a waste of everything... Yet it apparently pays off for them. And makes me want to be extremely... Careful about donating.

It's not multi-tasking, it's task switching. I understand that literally all the evidence says task switching is bad but it's actually so good if your attention is not made of titanium.

something needs to carry forward between games, perhaps just points-whatever position you're in, are you able to make the most of it or are you able to maximize how good you are despite the challenges or something

Here’s the role that personal choice plays in climate: a lot of the things you can do for personal choice that are in some vague sense of the phrase good for climate are also good for preparing you to be climate adapted.
