I Didn’t Get Why Dense Breasts Mattered Until I Got Cancer at 46
Dense breasts are a cancer risk hiding in plain sight, yet they’re frequently overlooked and underexplained. Knowing whether you have them could save your life.

Good inspiration for today's writing session on how to help pollinators: "This is our heaven, and there can be no other."
We might yearn for paradise, temporal or spiritual. But to our descendents our habitable planet will look like an almost unimaginable paradise. No tech fantasy, no space station or controlled environment will ever compare.
Fight for what we have. This is our heaven, and there can be no other.

So grateful to the scientists working hard to get this report out (that was supposed to be a govt assessment)! Can't wait to see it in print.

The first full draft of the assessment, on the state of America’s land, water and wildlife, was weeks from completion. The project leader called the study “too important to die.”

As a cancer survivor, I know cancer research saves lives—mine included. The current admin's drastic funding cuts will harm future patients. If you have GOP reps, please call and push back. One day, this could be you or someone you love. #CancerResearch #Resist www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...
NIH cuts billions of dollars in biomedical funding, effective immediately
