So, right now, the only reliable way to diagnose endometriosis is with exploratory surgery. But finally, real scientists (instead of male scientists), are on the job & of course they’ve identified multiple markers in menstrual blood that point to noninvasive testing.

I am lightly horrified by how many people have now looked up their books and found out their publishers (who often were required contractually!!!!) just... didn't register the copyrights on books. Not all of them! Just sporadically! This is not just one publisher, I've seen all the big ones now.

It's red panda day! A friend saw the feral fairies and asked if I could make a red panda. I immediately saw it in my mind, so it had to happen.

27 years ago, two years after the introduction of effective HIV treatment, the Bay Area Reporter, San Francisco’s lesbian and gay community newspaper, ran ‘No Obits’ as its headline. It was the first edition not to report an AIDS death in almost 15 years.

There's really nothing quite like finishing a novel and then just sitting there to absorb the emotional wringing out you just went through. In the best way possible!

It is both cool and eerie to hear the coyotes & babies singing the song of their people and having it echo across the neighborhood. Hope the neighbors use it as a reminder to keep their cats and small dogs inside!

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who's coming to save you? Welp.

No “President” has a right to strip citizenship and deport people who challenge his policies. That’s fascism, not America.

Thanks to Tar Valon or Bust, a couple weeks ago I found a used copy of Mary Stewart's The Crystal Cave to read along. Fast forward a couple weeks and I'm visiting Dad, who lives in Grandma's old house. I'm helping him clean it out. Guess what I found on the bookshelf? So now I have 2 copies.

This topic is outside of my normal interest, but it is quite fascinating and interesting reading. I'm so glad it came across my social media feed. So here I am on a Saturday afternoon reading an academic article about fashion and economics.

I really love river oats. Sea oats. Whatever you call them. The seeds are so lovely and the drooping angle is so graceful.
