Lily about the movie Parasite:
Having the ability to be kind means your own life is stable and comfortable. It is a 'luxury' because it proves you have more than enough resources (time, money, and mental peace) for yourself, leaving you with extra to spend on others. Because privileged people have no survival struggles, there is absolutely no valid reason for them to be rude, mean, or selfish. If a rich person is mean, it is entirely their fault, because they have zero excuses to treat people badly.
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.
“when i launched my book club, it wasn’t in a cozy café. it was in a reading group at downview women’s prison. i’ll never forget what one of the women shared with me: ‘perhaps if i’d read more books when i was younger, i wouldn’t be here now’.”

"If you focus first on each other’s shortcomings and try to fill them with care, I believe you’ll be able to gracefully overcome any difficulty that comes your way." ♡
