Maintaining traditional common names for birds, such as the Blue-footed Booby and Bushtit, as well as eponyms like Wilson's Warbler or Audubon's Shearwater, preserves cultural, historical, and scientific continuity. These names often carry unique stories or historical significance that connect people to nature and the history of ornithology. Changing names risks confusing both the scientific community and the public, disrupting long-standing educational materials and conservation efforts. While inclusivity and sensitivity are crucial in naming practices, careful consideration should balance these values with the need for consistency, historical context, and the emotional resonance that familiar names inspire in fostering a connection to wildlife.
Jonah supported: Mitts off our Tits and Boobies!Please help us survivors feel whole again.
Darlene supported: Amend NY Assembly Bill A5729A: Include Tattoo ArtistsI am a breast cancer survivor and had a double mastectomy. Two and a half years after my intitial surgery, I was able to have nipple construction and finally, areola tattooing. The signifance of this final stage was enormous. Although my body is forever changed, I now see myself as complete when I look in the mirror. I wrote this article in advance of my decision to get nipple tattoing. Perhaps it will shed further insight into the emotional weight that this act carries with it: https://www.survivingbreastcancer.org/post/an-open-space
Adrienne supported: Amend NY Assembly Bill A5729A: Include Tattoo ArtistsBCBS denied my doctor's request to give my Perjeta during my adjuvant therapy. This increases my chance of recurrence and decreases my chance for survival from this terrible disease. BCBS, you KNOW it's the SOC. Do the right thing. Please!
Amy supported: Demand Blue Cross Blue Shield Approve Coverage for Life-Saving Cancer Drug, PerjetaI lost my sister to TNBC in 2022. If there had been ANYTHING left to help her, I would’ve demanded it! Wouldn’t you???????? Insurance companies do not need to have THIS MUCH POWER to determine life or death!
Amy supported: Demand Blue Cross Blue Shield Approve Coverage for Life-Saving Cancer Drug, PerjetaAt 24 years old, Perjeta infusions saved my life and cured my cancer.
Abigail supported: Demand Blue Cross Blue Shield Approve Coverage for Life-Saving Cancer Drug, PerjetaI am a registered nurse, and I was diagnosed and treated for Melanoma Stage 3c in 2022. PET scans should be “routine” check-ups for me. Recurrence rate of stage 3 melanoma is 63%. 5 year survival rate for stage 3 melanoma is 63.6%! EviCore denied my doctor’s order for a full body PET scan today. My insurance company is Aetna. These denials lead to death. Are you “proud to be an American?” Then let’s stand up for ourselves and not allow a flawed, for-profit, healthcare system determine our survival or demise! Advocate for survival!
Jennifer supported: Demand an investigation into evicore's denials for profit as Public Health IssueYou’re not alone — a community of supporters is ready to back you.
