There’s a parenting struggle I have that I never really talk about (bc I don’t think ppl are honest enough about it).

Kids, boys especially, tend to communicate primarily through hostile humor (jokes that in any other context are demeaning or critical).

Your tooth enamel is the hardest thing your body makes, harder than steel. It is also the one part of you that never grows back. The cells that build it die the moment your teeth come in, so every chip and cavity you pick up after that stays for life.

This is the reason a dentist can't just heal a bad tooth. There is nothing left to regrow it with, so they drill out the decay and plug the gap with metal or resin. The plug holds, but the tooth never makes new enamel on its own again. And this kind of damage hits close to half the people alive.

In November 2025, a team at the University of Nottingham showed a way around it. They made a gel out of proteins copied from the ones a baby's body uses to grow enamel in the first place. You paint it on a worn tooth, and it lays down a tiny frame. The frame then pulls minerals out of your own spit, and fresh enamel crystals start growing on top, locking onto the old ones. The tooth ends up growing its own enamel back.

Tested on real human teeth in a lab, two weeks of the gel grew back a layer that took chewing and acid as well as natural enamel does. The honest part is the size of it. That new layer is about as thin as a sheet of kitchen foil, while the enamel that takes the beating when you chew is roughly 200 times thicker. And so far it has only worked on teeth sitting in a dish, never in a living mouth.

A milder version is already real. A Swiss treatment called Curodont, which uses a similar protein-based trick, has spent years patching the chalky white spots that appear just before a cavity forms. Nottingham wants to rebuild a thicker layer than that, and its new company hopes to sell a first product in 2026, around the time human testing begins. The real promise is smaller than the headline but more useful. It works best before there's a real cavity, catching a tooth while the damage is still small, so you never reach the day you're staring at the drill.

Every freedom you have as a woman was earned through the sacrifice of women who came before you. You didn’t inherit these rights by luck. Someone marched, protested, and paid a price for them.

It does genuinely warm my heart to see young women tenacious about holding onto their standards and not willing to be bludgeoned into accepting men’s disgusting behavior just to not be lonely or whatever. We can have whatever we want! We do not need to lower a single standard

Y'all gotta realize nobody's expecting you to deconstruct and abandon all your patriarchal habits in one week we just want you to think critically about shit and not do backflips to try to make your conformism into a radical feminist act

The clearest indication you did not “come out fine” on the other side of abuse is that you gleefully hope to do the same to others/see others suffer the same, including and especially children.

This Kujenga business is so terrible. Supporting men in the arts also feels like a humiliation ritual. They simply cannot be trusted.

it's not fear mongering to say that the pap smear can be triggering to ppl with trauma or painful for some ppl with medical conditions. it IS fear mongering (and misinformation) to claim that the pap is inherently excruciating/torturous or involves opening/cutting the cervix.

You can have a high powered job, a busy schedule, and tons of professional responsibilities while remaining courteous to the people in your personal life. I promise you.
Lol, what’s all this justification for insensitive behavior for?
Y’all need to chill with the God complex.

as a person who is also extremely busy with their job, i frankly do not like the extremely busy job excuse when it comes to people you care for or establishing a relationship with.
