Aaron Swartz would have been 36 today.

Aaron committed suicide after being sentenced to 35 years in prison by US authorities for transferring and sharing scientific articles from JSTOR.

@JillyaneMarie My mom had dementia for more than a decade. One of our last conversations was both heartbreaking and achingly beautiful. She thought I was her younger self. She asked me if she had children and was she a good mother. She clasped her hands and was so happy as I recounted her life.

My mom just turned to me and said, “I hope I never get Alzheimer’s.”

I put my arm around her and said, “If you get it, I promise to take care of you, and love you through it.”

...

She has had #Alzheimers for years 😭😩😢💔

@JillyaneMarie My dad had dementia in his final years… the upside was that he was always rediscovering the good stuff of life… “are you married?”… “yes”…“is she lovely”… “yes”.. “that’s good”… “do you have any kids”… “yes dad, you’re a grandpa”… & his eyes would light up with delight.🥲

Quite incredible. Unofficial Chinese police stations have been detected in the Netherlands, Hungary and now also in the US. What is this? Has elementary counterespionage collapsed in the West? What other countries host Chinese police stations? All?

@TheAmberPicota I had a similar problem, my therapist told me to write letters to people I was angry at and then to set them on fire; I feel so much better, but, like, what do I do with all these letters?

Kann diese nüchterne Grafik mehr Aufregung bekommen als Museumsaktionen? Machen wir das Experiment.

Besides, if a full on nuclear exchange happens, you probably won't know about it anyway.

@biirdcat @flowercriminal @refluxredux Way too high. For example, it should be around 0°C (freezing) or even lower where I am in Central Europe, but it's 12°C right now. 20°C further south would be the same difference, when it should be around or below 10°C

@mildlydying123 @mediocrebitch47 @iralell @dilemmalord Rapid weight loss (3 lbs or more per week) can cause gallstones because it alters the balance of cholesterol, lecithin, and bile acids. Esp extremely low-fat diets are bad. They inhibit gallbladder contractions, so the gallbladder can't empty and bile accumulates and calcifies

@LauraLikesHugs @ManInTrenchc0at @Cayliana Yeah exactly this. I don’t entirely understand what it means to be non-binary but I don’t have to. If it’s what you are, that’s what I’ll refer to you as. I don’t need to experience it to accept it

For the first time we have convincing experimental evidence to show mechanism of herpesvirus-mediated mitochondrial alterations that makes sense for ME/CFS and possibly LongCovid. This is huge. It will take time to dissect out every aspect of it but we are thrilled and excited.
