Ain't leaving this hellscape yet, but I'm laying some track on that butterfly app:

Evergreen.

@melnickjeffrey1 I love this story!!! (I would not have either)

[DocMel @themalarkeybin]

@Lizzs_Lockeroom @Albumism My momma had this cassette tape and I wore it out back in the day. Haven’t listened to it as a full album since the early 90s. This reminds me it’s beyond time for a revisit!

A masterpiece...

[Halle Berry @halleberry]

being transparent about this because women’s health has historically been underfunded and understudied.

[DocMel @themalarkeybin]

Thank you, @halleberry

You a real one for talking about this publicly!

[Camus @newstart_2024]

Halle Berry’s perimenopause story hits hard.

After a full year of great sex, she woke up in the worst pain of her life, everything swollen and unrecognizable. Her doctor immediately diagnosed worst-case herpes. For 72 brutal hours, she and her new partner spiraled through trust issues… until tests revealed it wasn’t herpes at all.

It was severe vaginal dryness from perimenopause.

Her elite doctor had barely been trained on it. That moment flipped a switch: Halle decided to speak out publicly, despite warnings it could kill her career, and break the silence around perimenopause and menopause for millions of women.

Over 50% of women experience genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM), including vaginal dryness, yet it’s still wildly under-discussed and under-treated in medical training.

When you’re lurking out there somewhere in the dead of the night heating lung darts with your lantern, I think it’s pretty safe to say you’ve taken life by the balls.

In 2026 we get health information from They Might Be Giants instead of the FDA

I'm fucking sorry but I know enough academics - and former academics - whose lives were made hell by the Professor Watchlist, Canary Mission, etc, to have much patience with the tepid bothsideism, miss me with it

[Center for Reproductive Rights @ReproRights]

The state of Texas has NO case!

And more importantly, this is a significant step toward justice for our client Maria, an upstanding midwife who has delivered babies and provided lawful care for underserved pregnant patients for decades.

Remembering the great Amy Winehouse, who passed away 15 years ago today.

[Gillian Branstetter @GBBranstetter]

One reason among many I always found the anti-trans bathroom panic laughable is that men don't need to resort to disguises and subterfuge to get away with sexual violence. They're much more likely to openly brag about it and trust nobody will care.

[Ana @_motherslug]

This rightfully makes the rounds every so often but “I live inside my own heart, Matt Damon” is truly a perfect sentence.

[🎮 @foreeeeeal]

great time to get an english degree honestly nobody can read or write you might become scribe to the king in the next 15 years if you know cursive the way things are going

[Nick Kapur @nick_kapur]

This amazing website, called "Worse on Purpose," is cataloguing all the ways companies are deliberately and secretively degrading their own products

As usual, in most cases the culprit is private equity extracting enormous sums while everyone else is left worse off.

Homer’s Odyssey, very famously, begins in the middle of the story and then portrays past events via numerous flashbacks.

[Books Behind Borders @MHTruthUltra]

The U.S. is giving dying mall vibes.

I can't explain it, but you know I'm right.

[DocMel @themalarkeybin]

@melnickjeffrey1 Goddammit Jeff! That’s awful for her! Absolutely agree with you. Fuck that shit.

It was always a great day whenever these sweet bastards showed up in a Bugs Bunny cartoon.
