1. And they managed to completely miss that it was the young doctor who was the victim in all this!

Thankfully mentioned in the court case itself.

1. Appalling that the anti-Trans push is still rolling onward in any way.

2. And those women - and members of other under-represented groups as well - must be re-established as part of science history.

3. And still, too many of us insist upon acting as if everything is "normal" again. COVID dismantles immune systems, and it has not yet been permanently stopped. Worse, campaigns are underway to end all research into ending COVID (per RFK Jr. and his accomplices).

I think we could all do with a little less doom in the world, but sadly, it doesn't seem to be co-operating.

If anyone needs me, I'll be on the sofa, cuddling my cat (and worrying about both COVID and bird flu with respect to him. Damn!)

(1) isn't doom - it's led to me sleeping well for the first time since April!

Oh yes, sorry. 1. is anti-doom. But in a sensible world it should be business as usual, not a cause for celebration. Still. Not doom!
