As someone with chronic illness and chronic pain who _always_ tries to convince myself I dont need emergency care and it _always_ turns out to be emergent, I simply need to say: Always seek care immediately if something is feels different or is "off."

This is a 13,000-year-old mammoth tusk carving of two reindeer swimming, on display at the British Museum. It was produced in what is now France by people of the Upper Neolithic Magdalenian culture. It serves no known practical purpose & is the oldest artwork in any British museum collection.

It’s not a fantasy. If you look it up there are objective standards as to what indoor air quality should be. It should not be 7% rebreathed fraction of air chock full of bugs. We are living in the swamp version of indoor air.

Just uploaded a 2.5 hour video that I'm SUPER excited to finally share only to have it stalled by a copyright claim... on NASA footage that's definitely in the public domain! I'm still hoping to have this out before the Holiday but now who knows. Anyways, hopefully a new long form video is coming!

Gender affirming care for trans people is safe, effective, and has a lower regret rate (4%) than almost any major medical procedure. It saves lives. These are facts. The right's talking-points are recycled "they are coming for your children!" scare tactics well over fifty years old at this point.

New research finds trans teens have high satisfaction with gender care
The survey published in JAMA Pediatrics showed that trans teens taking puberty blockers or hormones had very low rates of regret.

If any journalist wants to talk to a trans man with a PhD in Human Genomics who was trained in labs that studied the evolution of sex, I'm right here Or just keep platforming Republicans who have a 5th grade understanding of biology so they get more trans people killed, sure 🤷🏻♂️

Every trans adult was a trans child. No amount of criminalizing healthcare can change that. The only thing it will do is make for more traumatized kids. And those traumatized kids will, at best, become traumatized adults. But many will kill themselves first. That is the point of this legislation.

I don't know why the winter holidays in war plunge me into such a melancholy. Maybe it's the eternal darkness of days that last barely a few hours, paired with electricity shortages. It's strange what constant darkness does to us.

The “tired” you feel when chronically ill is very different than a healthy person’s version of “tired”. A healthy person can take a nap and feel 100%. They can have a coffee and perk up. We are tired 24/7. Sleep doesn’t fix it. Rest doesn’t fix it. It’s soul destroying.

Let people be their true selves, as they know and understand them. Let children explore their identities. Celebrate difference and variety and the incredible spectrum of humanity. The only alternative denies an opportunity to celebrate the joy of human flourishing and is ultimately unspeakably cruel

what with all this flu and covid going around it is honestly wild to me that someone who stays home when they are sick (me) is seen as a malingering scrounger, while those who soldier on and spread their lurgy to all and sundry are selfless heroes. like can we end this cultural fuckwittery already

Stoats (Mustela erminea) undergo a molt twice a year, changing from brown to snow-white to blend in the snow. They don't store fat & must eat up to 25% of their weight per day (~50 g), mostly in rodents. Recent studies have found that they register an 11.7 on the cuteness scale (out of 10).
