I would normally not have batted an eye at this paper
But it’s by Robert Hahn, and is a nice overview of everything we know about fluid redistribution in the critically unwell- including gel phase, some glycocalyx stuff, 3 compartment models, and albumin escape rates

Where does the fluid go?
💦 morphological changes/damage by fluid overload
🛌 fluid distribution in anesthesia
3️⃣ extracellular fluid compartments
💧 physiology, manipulation & max filling of slow-exchange fluid space
🔥 inflammation, capillary leakage & lymphatic flow 💦

Fantastic! Great to see them speaking up and saying what we all know is true.
RFK has "shown a blatant disregard for decades of evidence-based, proven science, and have spread dangerous medical misinformation, sowing chaos and confusion and putting lives at risk."

God, the number of people who were willing to believe that the South Yorkshire police were too woke to prosecute sexual abuse cases, when in fact the police force was itself an instrument of patriarchal sexual violence. It’s like a case study in the worst excesses of the British press.

Q: There are many people who fit the criteria of fleeing persecution. Afghans for example. But they're being denied refugee status. So why such an exception for the Afrikaners?

There seems to be a very particular form of antipathy directed toward autistic women and girls diagnosed c/ lower support needs
A narrative that we’re ‘attention seeking’ from a need to feel ‘specia’- which feels rooted in misogyny
The desire to silence women’s voices and experiences rumbles on

One thing you notice about anti-feminism is that its public discourses are all about erecting a fantasy of men’s victimization that is clung to all the more desperately and insistently the more it contradicts the actual facts. So the more women are hurt, the more we’re told that men are suffering.
every day there are new horrors for gender-marginalized people and women--trump going after the equal credit opportunity act, loss of body autonomy, exterminationist anti-trans attacks ramping up--and every single day we have to talk about "male loneliness" and "it's a brutal time to be a young man"

Key point- incr nos of people being diagnosed autistic doesn’t necessarily mean incr nos of autistic ppl
Women + people of colour don’t always fit the prevailing image and may not be referred for assessment
But there is a strong moral panic around Dx rates atm

3) Moving right on immigration normalizes the radical right, their positions and rhetoric. Normalization is a key precondition for electoral expansion of the radical right. Programmatic accommodation and collaboration normalize the radical right and open new segments of the electorate for it.

When you remember the historical connection between ‘autism’ research & murder of people considered ‘different’ - this ‘government list’ becomes more ominous.
