This mirrors my exprience on a GLP-1. I thought going on one was a moral failing on my part. No. There are bodies that need meds to operate properly and mine is one of them.
I have posted before about how my GLP-1 pretty much saved my life after covid, but I also strongly believe that people taking them should have access to mental health support, because these medications & discussion around them & how folks treat you would make it so very very easy to hurt yourself.
One of the things I want people to take away from this is (CN: EDs): Anorexia doesn't look like you think.
Sometimes, yes, it does.
But a LOT of times it does not. 🧵

Please, PLEASE, I am begging you as both a parent and someone who is sick of all this THIS, go vote for your school boards. Even if you don't have kids, that's how these reactionary dipshits got their feet in, that's where the book bans and library cuts start.

Also why you should never use the anon feedback form at work.
I think some of you don’t realize that you have speech patterns and way you write things. So just because you’re anon, doesn’t necessarily mean you’re anon to me. That’s all I’ll say…

Your life will not be less rich if you never read Great Literature and instead consume nothing but genre and trash/smut/junk. Quantity over quality!
(There's plenty of genre/trash/smut/junk books that are actually Great Literature, read enough of anything and you're find it.)

Open adoption is complicated and doesn't blunt the loss and trauma involved for all parties...it just makes it different.
If you want to understand open adoption, it makes sense to start with birth parents—yet studies of them are few. 2+ yrs ago, I began talking w/ birth mothers to try to understand what living in an open adoption is like for them, and what rights or options they might have if challenges were to arise.
When Adoption Promises Are Broken
Many birth mothers hope to maintain contact with their child. But their agreements with adoptive parents can be fragile.

My job as a professor is not to create a serviceable worker. My job is to help foster thoughtful citizens or community members.
If that sounds fanciful it’s bc corporate interests have spent decades framing how we talk about education so they don’t take the heat for immiserating labor conditions.

Do not accept the premise that education is to blame for abysmal jobs outcomes.
“The fantasy economy's framing of economic inequality… focuses exclusively on education…deflects attention away from decades of public policies and changing business practices that have…contributed to stagnating wages”

This was the inevitable result -- corporations began to shift the cost of training workers to schools, demanding that colleges teach skills they would otherwise learn on the job. Universities caved, teaching students to be corporate employees, not thinkers and writers.

The solution to making education better is staring us in the face: properly fund public schools, pay teachers well, tackle child poverty and social injustice. But instead, so many have bought the myth that the solution is to make tech bros richer.

1. As part of his dangerous anti-vaxx crusade, Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert Kennedy Jr. spread horrific lies about autistic people by saying they “will never pay taxes.

DOGE has gutted a small federal agency that provides funding to libraries and museums nationwide. In communities across the US, the cuts threaten student field trips, classes for seniors, and access to popular digital services, such as the ebook app Libby.

I’ve always operated under the assumption that waiting rooms should follow similar rules as quiet cars. So it’s always jarring when others don’t adhere.
