anyway, if you or someone you know are dealing with long covid currently OR you expect you might in the future, this is the single best diagram & single best paper have found to explain what’s happening to your body (link to paper below):
Gavin Newsom says tariffs may not disappear if a Democrat is in the White House: "I can't guarantee that, but I can guarantee you nothing like this — the level of disrespect, talking about the 51st state on the basis of our history, our proud past, our present, how important you are to our future and the world we're trying to build. No, those days are numbered."
Anyone thinking that the labs are going to make serious, independent efforts in biotech is tech-brained and doesn't really understand the industry imo. Their supposed edge is in generating potential drug candidates, which is not and has never been the problem
Being really into baseball feels closer to being into trains or military history than it does following other sports. That's not a judgement but an observation.
The people w/ penises believe it is the menstruators responsibility and burden, a bioessentialist script, as our society tells them that it is. The menstruators may have had their own prerogatives about why they were taking the birth control AND why they stopped.
Once the person with the penis had to be responsible for their ejaculation (interestingly with or without condoms! It depends on the couple) - it either deepened the relationship, working together to avoid - or it caused a lot of friction that became a fundamental break btwn them
As a FAM educator I’ve witnessed many women who didn’t realize their birth control was compulsory until they tried to stop while still in the relationship. Witnessed a bunch of break ups because choosing FAM as your contraceptive really forces the issue and it can’t be ignored
Not natural. It’s due to generational abandonment of care for menstrual physiology! Naturalization of menstrual pain is a product of patriarchy & medicalization via gynecology. Menstrual pain deserves treatment that results in permanent reversal*** & investigation into its roots
That’s the whole point of eliminating Grad Plus Loans and Pell Grants, of telling people college isn’t “worth it” while breaking laws to get their kids in the best schools, of trying to stop loan forgiveness - all of it.
They want poor folks OUT of higher ed.
Pacing doesn't kill. It prevents organ damage. In Long Covid patients with ME, exertion triggers a cascade: mitochondrial ROS -> NLRP3/NF-κB inflammation -> endothelial injury -> preload failure -> neuroinflammation.
Pacing stops this loop, protecting the heart, blood vessels, mitochondria, and brain from repeated injury.
and mark ruffalo is right as hell bc why do military defense contractors want to be a part of the entertainment industry too?? and have a monopoly in what you watch??? you dont find that weird?????!!!!!!
i think people generally struggle with journaling because it turns your feelings into an observable object, and it’s vulnerable to see your innermost thoughts on paper. but that’s also why it’s a practice. we aren’t really that vulnerable with ourselves on a regular basis.
