Overwhelmingly mediocre thoughts underwhelmingly written for public scrutiny.

I’ve been willing myself to write for at least 9 years now. Hopefully the first time is not the last time.

Fell to my knees, PMOS has completely fucked up my life and made me so sceptical of the health system. This feels so comforting.

In 1935, two American doctors examined seven women's ovaries and saw small lumps. They called them cysts and named the disease after them. They were wrong. It took 91 years to fix.

What we called PCOS is now Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS), announced today in The Lancet by an international panel of doctors and patients. The renaming followed more than a decade of consensus work and 22,000 patient and clinician survey responses.

The lumps Stein and Leventhal saw were never cysts. Modern imaging shows they were follicles, the tiny sacs inside the ovary that grow and release an egg each month, frozen partway through by a hormonal imbalance. PMOS is a multi-system disorder centered in the endocrine system, the body's network of glands that produces hormones like insulin (controls blood sugar), cortisol (the stress hormone), and thyroid hormones (set the body's metabolism). The ovary trouble flows downstream from there.

The naming choice is not academic. When doctors hear "ovary" in a diagnosis, they look at the ovary. "Metabolic" and "endocrine" send them to the whole body.

PMOS affects roughly 1 in 8 women worldwide, more than 170 million people. The WHO estimates 70% have never been diagnosed. Among those who do, 1 in 3 wait more than 2 years, and nearly half see 3 or more doctors first. The CDC reports more than half of women with PMOS develop type 2 diabetes by age 40, a risk 5 to 10 times higher than women without the condition. Around 37% have clinically significant depression, compared with 14% in women without it. Anxiety runs at 42% versus 8.5%.

A label born from a 1935 look at seven ovaries is finally going away. The new diagnostic guidelines roll out fully in 2028. By then, a woman walking into a clinic with these symptoms should hear questions about her blood sugar and her mood alongside her cycle. Those are the parts of the disease the old name hid for 91 years.

PCOS is being renamed to PMOS. (Polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome)

The change comes from experts that say the old name was misleading, stating that it inaccurately suggested ovarian cysts as a defining feature.

@_shadboi_ I think I know, that’s how I’m coping

[meclairs @nandkeeping]

I sincerely hope to be proven wrong 🤞

Am I the only one who thinks this song was meant to be goofy and is actually satirical. No way the person who wrote the rest of the album is 100% sincere in this song. And that’s what makes it so good (well actually the instrumental really) . It’s done well imo

I keep dreaming of an india, where things are designed around the actual people, for an economy that has a miniscule amount of car owners, there are no city-wide footpaths, not enough shade, not enough public restrooms (forget well-maintained), and more

[meclairs @nandkeeping]

Really amused how urban planners across govt projects absolutely detest trees. Like yes there are trees here, but neatly in just lines and vast open spaces for seating with no shade whatsoever. Parks in the west have trees all around. So what are they even replicating?

This is what happens when urban planning is not handled by real professionals, or people who have actual skin in the game. Or the decisionmaker is someone who thinks the pinnacle of aesthetic is a suburban american mcmansion.

The draft of the Delimitation Bill, 2026, that is now available in the public domain seems to suggest that the BJP-led Union Government is keen on proceeding with a delimitation exercise without accounting for the current proportional share of the States', vis a vis their representation in the Lok Sabha.

Such an exercise would be highly unjust, as it would penalise those very States - including Kerala - which took conscious efforts to sincerely implement the National Population Policy, 1976. On the other hand, States that lagged behind in population control measures would be seemingly rewarded for their ineffective implementation.

Federalism has been recognised as an inalienable part of the basic structure of our Constitution and in a federal democracy, the raison d'être for representation cannot be mere numbers. There has to be an inclusive approach by taking into account the sentiments of all those who would be impacted by the proposed delimitation exercise, especially the States.

A consensual approach in this matter is absolutely essential. The present attempt to increase the number of seats in the Lok Sabha, through an amendment proposed to be brought about in a haste will undoubtedly destroy the spirit of consensus, which was the corner stone of our Constitution making.

To rush through with the delimitation amendment, in the garb on implementing women's reservation is nothing but a ploy to mask the real objectives behind this entire exercise. The fact that it is being taken up when the election process to four State assemblies and one Union Territory is yet to be completed has raised genuine suspicions about the political considerations behind it.

Considering these strong grounds, it is imperative that the present Delimitation Bill which is sought to be taken up without fair amount of discussions be dropped forthwith.

At the same time, women's reservation in the Parliament and the Legislative Assemblies can be and should be implemented right away, without any linkages to delimitation or census.

Best thing I did in life for my PCOS after years of regular excercise, diet control and gynaecs telling me to just ‘excercise more to eat lesser’ was see an endocrinologist. I finally got some progress and fixed my near ED like eating which was lowkey induced by these gynaecs

[Mehza ౨ৎ @mehzatalksback]

I have realised NO ONE SHOULD GET THEIR PCOS TREATED BY GYNACS, INSTEAD WE ALL SHOULD OPT FOR ENDOCRINOLOGISTS. these gynacs just say you are fat thats why you have pcos and you cannot lose weight because you have pcos.

[meclairs @nandkeeping]

I feel so old and removed, yet childlike, filled with infinite curiosity. Moments like this performance are such a reminder that we are not as cold and hardened. That joy and whimsy and naïveté are still within us, waiting to be awakened.

[meclairs @nandkeeping]

On my knees every time that bittersweetness of nostalgia shoots through my chest. Music is so beautiful, our minds are so wondrous , what do you mean a verse bought back the exact feeling I felt as a teen back in my home, watching this mv on my PC for the first time 😭

Voted today. Crazy to see that a lot of people’s intention is tied with ‘I want change’ rather than something concrete like ‘when xyz was in power, they did so many things’. Vote based on proof, not solely on hope.
