one of the most *painful* experiences of my life was getting a uterine biopsy with no pain medication. (and i have endometriosis)
because there has been little concern for gynecology historically and we don’t have nerves or something. 🫠

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME
Congress didn’t pass a law requiring NIH-funded trials to include women until 1993. Drug trials with government funding only started including women in the NINETIES
And that’s only drug trials! And not ones with private funding!
Health research FAMOUSLY excludes women.

We’re in the middle of an authoritarian takeover of the government. Yet Trump’s approval rating is pretty much at an all time high and now we’re all supposed to watch a blood sport while being fed Elon Musk ads.

called two of my congresspeople and left messages, but schumer’s dc voicemail is off for messages outside of business hours like democracy (or an inbox) has business hours
@schumer.senate.gov, why can’t we leave messages before y’all open?

these are amazing i had no idea about the quiet posters feed OR bloomscrolling! 💐
If you're doomscrolling:
- Hydrate!
- Check to see if you're muting and/or blocking enough. Trust me, you'll still stay informed.
- Check out your Quiet Posters feed. I just did; temp & volume is calmer there.
- Check out the bloomscrolling & photography tags. Boost those who are using alt text!

Dear Legacy Media,
They really are as racist and sexist as we've been telling you, and it would be helpful if you would report on it in an accurate and truthful manner. Context matters. As evidenced here.

I asked Liv, the Meta-Ai created “queer momma” why her creators didn’t actually draw from black queer people.

i am glad that i resisted the urge to start tearing everything apart in my cleaning & just started with my desk bc i’m already exhausted
my goal for the break was to clean specific areas so the organised clutter didn’t then clutter my brain. can’t (or shouldn’t) do it all at once. a win is a win.
