It’s really cool that whenever men start doing the stuff women have been asking them to do forever — reading feminist literature, being in touch with fashion, listening to “girl music” — they are immediately excoriated on social media, often by women!, for being big shitty predator fakers

I had a hysterectomy years ago and kept my ovaries and I still get mittelschmerz. I’m 47. My doc told me the egg gets released and just goes into the void. Is this ever gonna be forever

Facial expressions common to all humans! 🙃

PainChek is one of these behavioral models, and it acts like a camera‑based thermometer, but for pain: A care worker opens the app and holds a phone 30 centimeters from a person’s face. For three seconds, a neural network looks for nine particular microscopic movements—upper‑lip raise, brow pinch, cheek tension, and so on—that research has linked most strongly to pain. Then the screen flashes a score of 0 to 42. “There’s a catalogue of ‘action‑unit codes’—facial expressions common to all humans. Nine of those are associated with pain,” explains Kreshnik Hoti, a senior research scientist with PainChek and a co-inventor of the device. This system is built directly on the foundation of FACS. After the scan, the app walks the user through a yes‑or‑no checklist of other signs, like groaning, “guarding,” and sleep disruption, and stores the result on a cloud dashboard that can show trends.

Also I feel like my clothes are wrong (overdressed/eccentric?) but I’m honestly leaning into that as part of my own healing shit

Also I just like, leave when I’m Done and that has been healing too

(For all the times I couldn’t walk out when I was overbaked/tired at my old career jobs)

Amie is working for part of the trip and I am going to a few Plus One events (dinner, pasta making class, put put) and it’s super fucking weird being back in a high social masking situation after burning out of my office job and getting a late autism dx, I feel like such an alien

I cannot imagine making people suffer with my perimenopause onion smell, I can’t stand it myself

Kendra "Gloom is My Beat" Pierre-Louis @kendrawrites.com · 9d

I'm going to start calling essays like this "odes to whiteness" because the underlying premise is that they are like this because they don't anticipate any social cost to smelling bad.

This one is v. frustrating because it tries to lump in perfumes with the broader (problematic) beauty industry

I’m turning 50 next year. I rarely wear deodorant anymore. Many women I know have stopped, too. We don’t talk about it, but I catch it in the air — a faint musk of onion, goat, curry, mustard, salt, sage, fennel, ozone, and the muddy wet marrow of the earth itself. I’m kind of obsessed with this collective stink: the animal symphony of skin, of women being women, punk and unfiltered, taking up space with their scent. Raw, unapologetic BO. The more I live among it, the more I see it not as a hygiene failure but as a radical act of self-acceptance. It’s not polite, but it’s honest — and that feels hot. Hotter, even, than anything a Guess ad ever promised.
