I was productive this weekend and now I am unable to can today. I have a surplus of cannots. Hoping I did not go through this week’s supply of dopamine in 2 days 😧. #ADHD

Being a woman these days is basically asking myself if these symptoms are peri-menopause, long covid, or now, MS

They’re usually sworn enemy spider species but they apparently cannot see each other since it’s so dark plus there is plenty of food for everyone. I feel like spiders rely on more than sight but maybe it’s just a mutually agreed upon truce to coexist peacefully

An in-depth review found no quality evidence of a link between paracetamol use during pregnancy and autism or ADHD diagnosis in children.

In a bulletin to law enforcement agencies, the FBI said criminal impersonators are exploiting ICE’s image and urged nationwide coordination to distinguish real operations from fakes.

Around 80% of the psychiatric hospitals in the U.S. that have violated the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act in the past 15 years are owned by for-profit corporations. Only a few have faced any repercussions from regulators. By @emcahan.bsky.social

In recent years, FDA inspectors have uncovered disturbing lapses in facilities producing food bound for American supermarkets. Now, under the second Trump administration, inspections are their lowest since 2011, excluding the pandemic. By @anniewaldman.bsky.social and @bxroberts.org

I believe this 1000% now and I was a skeptic for a long time.

i was also struck by how many people receiving SNAP are employees of wal-mart and other big corporations. almost seems like we taxpayers are subsidizing private companies 🤔

SNAP benefits are under attack during this government shutdown and food banks are picking up the slack. But they need your help. Here are the best ways to do that:

Here’s how FEMA describes its National Disaster and Emergency Management University. But if you click on those links you get… FEMA. training.fema.gov Volunteers and others may have little or no access to required trainings right now, though individual states may be offering them. Fun.

So thrilled to see dear friend and science baddie, Dr. Kristel Carrington, featured as an expert in this short documentary on #MDMA assisted treatment for #PTSD! #AcademicSky youtu.be/K91rk4hyRtQ?...

"The average voter believes a SNAP recipient gets $20/day, more than 3 times the actual amount of $6."

I was not ready for the secondhand embarrassment that this would elicit.

Tendréis que quitarnos el derecho a voto de nuestras manos frías y muertas, hijos de puta.

Strength training is political. We have a right-wing which has taken over physical fitness spaces, and hijacked “warrior culture”. We need a muscular progressivist visions. We need to be strong to build the world we want. Building my guns for the revolution. 💪🏾✊🏾 #Swoletariat #ResistanceTraining”

A glaring omission here is that chronic sleep problems worsen cardiovascular health. Too little sleep raises blood pressure, inflammation, & increases risk of cardiovascular health problems. Large scale registry studies like this cannot make conclusions on causation.

Prices on Amazon, Walmart and Target have all increased this year as retailers grapple with higher costs due to tariffs. Because third-party sellers are more vulnerable to tariffs, marketplace vendors often have no choice but to pass higher costs onto the shopper.

Got tired of reading the news and getting mad. Feeding America backs 200+ food banks around the country and I've seeded with $500 for now. I'll match up to another $500 myself. Pass the hat, RTs graciously appreciated, etc.

Insurance companies aren’t just players in the fight with doctors over money; they’re also the referees. They produce their own guidelines on when to pay claims. If a doctor appeals a denial, insurers make all the initial decisions. (Published April) By @tchristianmiller.bsky.social

You do not have to lower others to raise yourself.

"Europeans recognize his vision about free public transit and universal childcare. We expect our governments to make these kinds of services accessible to all of us,” said Verbeek. “We pay higher taxes and get civilized societies in return."

The rumors are true: scrolling through Zohran’s transition website and seeing that his co-chairs so far are eminently qualified women of color is a great way to feel like better things are possible

Oh this is horrid

bullying you all into being nice to yourselves and making you value yourself and your accomplishments

Excessive force. PERIOD! They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor. 📌 Keep sharing videos, everyone, because they’re evidence.

It got drowned out in all the good news from last night, but Boston Mayor Michelle Wu became the youngest person to be reelected in the city's history. She ran unopposed because her opponent--Patriots owner Bob Kraft's son--withdrew a few months ago after realizing he had no hope of winning.

Envyyyyy

Abolish ICE! Lecture them, berate them, give them no peace
