‘Perhaps in your life you’ve come across a force that matched and moved you. Maybe it changed you so profoundly that when you look back at the landscape of your life, you are struck by the indelible the mark it left’
i genuinely have no desire to be rich so i can buy a rolex or a Lamborghini.
i want to be rich so i can control my time and go to the gym at 3pm on a monday.
sit at a cafe and relax for an hour on a rainy afternoon.
so i can cook meals at home with fresh ingredients.
spend on my family and friends without worrying about a budget.
that's my idea of a rich life, not the fake consumerist idea shoved down my throat.
I knew a lady once who was mentored by an older woman that, if she burned toast, she should remake toast for her husband and kids and then eat the burned toast herself.
Did this woman's husband want her to eat burned toast to punish herself? No, of course not. Because so much of
Are we reviving this discourse?
My hot take: being overly self-sacrificial is just another way women are socialized to harm themselves to outwardly signal the most virtuous and worthy notion of femininity. Women are socialized to find a way to humanize and love ugly monsters, stress themselves out doing too much for their children, keep their house magazine-cover clean, and somehow find the time to cook healthy meals from scratch and have the Instagram pilates body.
Of course, none of this is necessary, but the endless neuroticism of performing being a woman encourages this self-destruction. Every woman knows very well the stupid ritual their female friends will do when eating together—they all complain about their bodies and diets and make sure they are not the weird fat friend who orders the most "unhealthy" food.
Women do this constantly, to the point that having a "sweet treat" like a single donut or sugary coffee drink is mythologized as a great indulgence. Many women will balk at characterizing a cookie as just food, rather than the evidence of their unvirtuous hedonism, and yet see no reason their husbands should not regularly have an extra slice of pie or purchase a lifted truck for his fortieth birthday.
Most men do not think like this, and they will ever even notice any of this effort women go to in order to harm themselves. Yet, a lot of women somehow consider it necessary, as if being a woman is just always harming yourself, always negating and ignoring your own needs and desires.
Well, it really, really is not. Nobody cares. Eat the last damn peach. You can buy more for your kids later.
Germany is now offering a permanent cure for diabetes, a breakthrough that could transform treatment for millions of patients worldwide. Remarkably, while the therapy costs around $40,000 in the U.S., international patients can reportedly access it for free, making this life-changing treatment accessible to a broader population.
The cure works by using advanced stem cell and regenerative therapies to restore the body’s natural ability to produce insulin, effectively treating both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. Patients regain full glucose regulation, reducing or eliminating the need for insulin injections, medications, or ongoing disease management.
Early clinical results indicate high success rates, with patients achieving normal blood sugar levels and improved metabolic function after treatment. By targeting the underlying cause of diabetes rather than just managing symptoms, this approach represents a paradigm shift in diabetes care.
Germany’s offer to international patients reflects both a commitment to medical innovation and global healthcare access, allowing individuals from around the world to benefit from cutting-edge therapies without prohibitive costs. This could save countless lives, improve quality of life, and reduce long-term complications associated with diabetes.
The development underscores the potential of regenerative medicine and stem cell technology to cure chronic diseases previously thought permanent, highlighting Germany’s leadership in making advanced medical treatments both effective and widely available.

Well, when a child is conceived, the DNA split is 50/50 from both parents. Except for one small detail: mitochondrial DNA. It’s passed down only through the mother and never through sperm.
Which means something interesting: all living humans can trace their mitochondrial line back to one woman, not one man.
And every daughter born continues passing that same line forward.
Happy Women’s Day 💐
@Seeker__Of@bluemontauk@flatEarther319@NHPATRIOT68 This post is about water bottles! Even if you spent your time playing outside, which water bottle are you using? That’s where my comment stemmed from.
All this extra conversation is off point but congratulations of keeping your toddlers home 👏
