A very important @NEJM paper on 528 #monkeypox cases in 16 nations indicates sex between men drives the outbreak.
98% were gay or bi men, 75% were white, 41% had HIV. No women.
95% of cases thought to have transmitted during sex.

An important call for us all to do better, "resist oversimplified dichotomies, and instead use nuanced terms that recognise the vast variations among countries and people, and respect how people want to be described"

Hate is a strong word. But the racist relying on black English footballers to bring them glory as if they were their servants, then turning on them as soon as they fell short of their dreams, have my deepest contempt.

Are you sad and angry about the surge in anti-Asian violence? Wondering if there’s something anti-racist you can do? One idea: learn how pronounce Asian names! It doesn’t have to be perfect. Just try, and it will make a difference to your Asian friends and people you meet. (1/8)
