any fav nutrient-dense snacks/food recs? it appears the meds i’m on to clear the mold out of my body are potentially making me malnourished. ty in advance! (bad barometric pressure day here. might not respond.)

and if these facilities have been bought up by private equity like in the u.s., this fine is not a deterrent for them to keep residents safe, it’s simply the price tag of doing business to them. it’s sickening either way.

If you do the math, each aged person killed here is valued at $3,333.

Been struggling to get groceries for WEEKS, keep having to postpone because everything has had to go to rent or storage.

#PleaseShare, and help if able? Need $150 for food URGENTLY, and a head start on $700 rent. At $45 so far.

but this is better than letting mold continue to grow inside my body i guess. also if it gets in my lungs (i don’t think it will) but the prognosis is BAD if it does get into my lungs

it’s one thing to know the meds you’re on can cause malnutrition but it’s another to realize you’re experiencing malnutrition

Yes, hello, is that God? Yeah, hi. I have a complaint. You gave me this brain that’s designed for finding berries and avoiding lions and now people are β€˜just circling back’ to see if we can β€˜move the needle’ on β€˜key initiatives’? NONE of those things are berries.

Guys I hate to say this but the war that doesn’t make sense that happened for no reason isn’t going perfectly

My hottest mental health take:

A lot of depression and anxiety is situational, and warranted, because people live in shit circumstances. They’re poor, without resources, etc. and the reason it’s become popular to blame β€œmental health” is because it’s a way of evading responsibility.

Also: I think therapy as a profession over-marketed itself and unwittingly promoted the hyper-internalization & hyper-individualization of many global, collective and community problems.

Here is the deal: we don’t have to keep perpetuating this imbalance & harm

I facilitate spaces focused on this

Diabetic woman arrested by ICE almost died after being refused insulin HanneΒ Daguman said she "genuinely feared for [her] health" after being denied insulin, causing her to lose vision and collapse.

Hanne Daguman is a Type 1 diabetic who was denied proper medical care in ICE custody.

She lost 10lbs in 9 days.

She experienced severe infections.

She was denied her continuous glucose monitor.

She was given too much insulin & another detainee gave her crackers and saved her life:

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

Disability accommodations are a rare thing that actually trickles down. You like curb cutouts? Auto-opening doors? Jar openers? Ramps? Hand rails? YOU’RE WELCOME

Even as an abled person you use disability accommodations every single day.

Supporting accommodations actually helps everyone.

26 HOURS to reach rent- this week is the time change so there's an hour less time between now and 11AM tomorrow.

Please keep sharing? I've reached $180, and need $700 rent. Also badly need groceries, and grieving the second parent death in a month.

"...remaining neutral when confronted with misinformation is detrimental. In the case of health misinformation, neutrality is not diplomacy; it's acquiescence. A direct line can be drawn between neutrality and even tolerance of misinformation and the current state of public health."

This has nothing to do with the specific content here, but Polymarket adopting the language of news, here with BREAKING, and with Texas election results earlier this week, is BAD. Polymarket is not and will never be a news org or break news. It's a betting app. It's Draft Kings for sociopaths.

Lane has made a very cool looking tarot deck. I don’t believe tarot has any supernatural value but I love the way it can get you thinking about your life. Maybe try this one out?

I'm unsure how people really think people were downplaying a virus that can kill you, make you go blind, wipe out your immune system for years, and oh yeah come back and kill you a decade after you thought you'd shaken it.

Around 49% of COVID infections are asymptomatic and carry no symptoms but did you know, that albeit less likely, you can still get long covid or a blood clot, days, weeks, months or even a year after this seemingly harmless infection. Most who have long covid had only seemingly β€˜mild’ symptoms 🧡
