most ppl accept stress can cause high blood pressure/heart disease and that those are nevertheless very real and serious conditions. but if you say stress can cause long covid, me/cfs, fibromyalgia etc, one side denies it and the other thinks it means those conditions aren’t real
"Enhanced rationality in autism spectrum disorder
In the domains of reasoning, judgment and decision-making, individuals with autism spectrum disorder often show ‘enhanced rationality’ by exhibiting more rational and bias-free decision-making than do neurotypical individuals"
@NoraNH2@Reuters It does, “He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither”
To the doctors who get defensive or dismissive the second a chronically ill patient walks in prepared with notes, questions, or their own research.
You don’t get to punish us for doing the homework your healthcare system forces us to do.
Calling us “difficult,” “non-compliant,” or “fixated” doesn’t make our bodies suddenly cooperate or our symptoms magically disappear.
It just reveals how much easier it is to blame the patient than admit the limits of medicine.
We aren’t the problem.
Your refusal to see us as partners in our own care is.
@shipwreckedcrew you need to observe due process in order to determine whether they have a right to be here
otherwise the government is just guessing and it keeps guessing incorrectly
Marco met with Bukele in his palace to hatch the plan that led to sending innocent Venezuelan immigrants to a foreign gulag with no due process. Surprised this has not gotten more attention.
a "community cat" is a feral cat usually living in a colony. community cats are common in Greece, Italy. some people feed them but also arrange to neuter them. in communities that treat them kindly, they keep the population of rodents down.
Always fascinated by the fear of being "shouted down" - "If you disagree with me you're engaging in censorship" is itself a demand for censorship - but especially when it's literally combined with a picture of your speech in The New York Times
BREAKING: Federal judge blocks DOJ from requesting or receiving patient information about those who have received gender-affirming medical care as minors at Packard Children's Hospital (Stanford).

Japan is doing some really interesting Long COVID research.
Would be interested to know if there are forums or social groups of Japanese individuals with Long COVID. Would also be interested to know what the clinical care is like.
Justice Jackson's concurrence is excellent on this score also. Her walk through history should be quite convicting to people who are convinced that "those people" don't belong.
One thing that's interesting about Justice Roberts's birthright citizenship opinion is how his careful explanation of history shows how the immigration debate rarely changes. The argument that "these people are too different to join us" has just failed, socially, culturally, economically, and morally, time and time again.
I'm always for being open about mental health, but important context is that Kean, as a state rep, voted against the New Jersey Paid Sick Leave Act, which established 40 hours of sick leave for employees a year.
Kean just took *4 months* of paid sick leave.
Birthright Citizenship is poised to become the next Roe v. Wade: A rallying cry for the GOP bent on revoking human rights. People claiming victory today should know that the Supreme Court gave Trump a roadmap to destroy it.

The problem with every version of this take is that the Matt Walshes of 40 years ago were saying the same thing, as were the Matt Walshes of 80 years ago. Once you get far enough right, politics is all nostalgia for a fleeting familiar moment mistaken for a static. 1/
NEW: A fourth federal appeals court has rejected ICE's massive expansion of mandatory detention for immigrants that have resided in U.S. for years.
It seems increasingly certain that the Supreme Court will take up the issue next term.

🚨 The Supreme Court ruled that the Fourteenth Amendment guarantees birthright citizenship to children born in the United States, including those whose parents are in the country unlawfully or only temporarily, striking down President Trump's executive order.
