I know journals are in tight spot to get reviewers etc. etc. - but honestly, an email nagging me on 10th October that I haven't responded to their 8th October invite - just makes me disinclined to answer positively!

aha - thanks. I hadn't noted the new social media rules. But then surely rules might include things like - don't be on fascist social media sites?

ICE getting tailed like it’s a heist movie. Chicago is turning the tables.

It’s funny because it’s nearly impossible to get HRT even when you’re perimenopausal and/or menopausal. (not actually funny).

I always think that.. People, forget bloody Epstein files and FOCUS on all the stuff happening right now!! Those files ain't coming and so much more desperate need now to mobilize and fight today's battles! But what do I know?
