Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome honestly makes way more sense than Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.

Because this condition was never just about “ovarian cysts” or fertility.

Women with PCOS are at higher risk for:
-type 2 diabetes
-heart disease
-fatty liver disease
-sleep apnea
-high blood pressure

Yet so many women are never properly counseled about these risks or referred for appropriate care early enough. As a cardiometabolic physician, I meet women in their 50s and 60s dealing with advanced disease who tell me:

“I wish someone had warned me earlier.”

We minimized PCOS by treating it like a niche reproductive issue instead of the systemic metabolic condition it often is.

If a child tells you they feel like they don’t fit in, stop responding with trite phrases about “individuality/standing out”. It is a cry for community/friendship. Children desire connection and shared human experiences too.

there’s a reason our ancestors risked their lives and were murdered bc of reading + the elite are doing everything to make sure our kids are illiterate. our ancestors understood that liberation/organizing and literacy/education were synonymous.

This man is occupying the Fredrick Douglass bridge in protest of the war and American government. Spread the word

It’s not just a litmus test for misogyny. It’s also a clear sign of illiteracy. You can see you didn’t read transcripts or don’t have an understanding of the legal system. Who reads and believes fake news. Who only get their news from blogs and podcasts.

Note: Research shows that approximately 60% of homeless people in Louisiana are Black. And approximately 65% to 68% of the prison population in Louisiana is Black, despite Black people making up only about 33% of the state's total population.

let’s see how much coverage this synagogue attack gets in western press. since israel did it, doubtful it’ll get any at all.

[Saint Hoax @SaintHoax]

In response to the Jamaican state's transphobia, a great essay to read in this moment is M Jacqui Alexander's "Not Just (Any) Body Can Be a Citizen."

This is, in some ways, a classic example of what she theorizes as a "legitimation crisis."

As a rare winter storm bore down on South Carolina, local officials in a rural majority-Black county quietly pushed through a massive $2.4B data center project without most residents knowing it was even on the table https://t.co/yAtzqTPRoC

[lainie @youngneandrthal]

important to articulate that ice has BEEN killing immigrants (documented and not) and people of color. white working class US-born citizens being killed is a wake up call for a lot of people about the lengths ice will go to but we need to oppose ALL of the violence they enact.
