Someone found this thread again via search, so I'm reupping the reminder: if you're diagnosed with Dupuytren/Ledderhose, especially if it's bilateral or you're under 75, get yourself to an oncologist specializing in benign radiotherapy IMMEDIATELY.
I don't think I've done this PSA on BlueSky yet: so: if you are diagnosed with Dupuytren's (hands) or Ledderhose (feet) disease, your orthopedist will probably tell you there's nothing they can do until you reach stage 4 and you have lost motion in your fingers/have lumps immobilizing your feet.

The populist far left, for whom no amount of real progress is ever sufficient, fight Democrats at least as hard as they do Republicans. Harder.
They largely stay home or vote third party. This time, they elevated lies about Kamala Harris and Palestine, but it's always something.
