My teeth literally crumbled like glass — one by one. Not from neglect, from yrs of chemo. The pain is unbearable, & I’m waiting for relief in this system, dental care is a luxury.

A four-panel infographic titled “How Cancer Treatment Can Affect Your Teeth.” The panels explain that chemotherapy, radiation, and other treatments can impact oral health long after cancer is gone. The top right panel lists “Side Effects of Treatment,” noting that these therapies can cause long-term oral health issues. The bottom left panel explains “Increased Risk of Dental Problems,” including weakened enamel, reduced saliva, and higher risk of decay, gum disease, and cavities. The bottom right panel, titled “Long-Lasting Effects,” says dental damage can continue or worsen even decades after treatment. The infographic is illustrated in red, blue, and cream tones with stylized icons of a mouth, IV bag, dentist chair, tooth, and clock. A watercolor-style thank-you card with soft orange, peach, and green floral accents around the border. In the center, elegant script text reads “Thank You.” Below that, a heartfelt message says: “From the bottom of my heart, thank you for every share, every dollar, and every kind word helping me heal.” At the bottom of the image is a woman with caramel skin and long brown hair, wearing a blue shirt and gently touching her cheek. Her eyes are closed, and her expression is tender and reflective.

For centuries, ars moriendi depicted death, suicide—and what comes after. As MPs consider legalising assisted dying, they would be wise to look back at a long tradition, writes @drjoshmcloughlin.bsky.social.

A meteor shower
What's happening in the sky above Stonehenge? A meteor shower: specifically, the Perseid meteor shower. A few nights ago, after the sky darkened, many images of meteors from this year's Perseids were captured separately and merged into a single frame. Although the meteors all traveled on straight paths, these paths appear slightly curved by the wide-angle lens of the capturing camera. The meteor streaks can all be traced back to a single point on the sky called the radiant, here just off the top of the frame in the constellation of Perseus. The same camera took a deep image of the background sky that brought up the central band of our Milky Way galaxy running nearly vertical through the image center. The featured image was taken from Wiltshire, England, being careful to include, at the bottom, the famous astronomical monument of Stonehenge. Although the Perseids peaked last night, some Perseid meteors should still be visible for a few more nights. Image Credit & Copyright: Josh Dury

Well, this gets it exactly right, doesn’t it?
Post by Jamie Selzer: Michelle Obama: “Our food environment isn’t healthy and we should explore some changes” Republicans: “You’re a communist taking our freedom!” RFK Jr: “Literally anything added to food is poison” Republicans: “Agreed! I demand you make all my food choices for me!”

The butterfly effect, named by mathematician Edward Lorenz, is the idea that something as small as a butterfly flapping its wings can eventually cause a tornado.

I gotta say, Bluesky feels like my early days of Twitter, when it was FUN, when I first realized I was part of a great community.

I'm finding you folks through replies to my posts -- followed back 600-ish people in the past few days.

Thanks for finding me, folks. 🙏💙

We may not have a set at the table yet, but let’s not forget those who are cooking right now! With enough steam glass can break!
Alt text: “A confident woman with cornrowed hair stands holding a microphone, wearing a blue jacket adorned with patches, including an American flag. She appears to be addressing a large crowd, with raised hands and American flags waving in the background. The sky behind her is bright with clouds and a glowing streak, suggesting a sense of aspiration and unity.”
