CW: disordered eating

As a child, I remember a family holiday at which I was chided to try some of everything. But then got chastised for taking more than one flavour of hand made chocolates after I was told how much work went into them.

Decades later, these still harm my thoughts on food.
No matter what you eat for the holidays, please never:

- comment on how much someone is eating
- comment on how little someone is eating
- comment on someone eating

This can be a major trigger for people with eating disorders. Plus it’s none of your business. Thanks!

1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.

It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.

It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

Transgender care saves lives.
Study In The Journal Of Pediatrics Finds Trans Youth Care Lowers Suicidality, Few Detransition
The groundbreaking study found that suicidality dropped for transgender youth receiving hormone therapy by nearly 70%, with only 7 patients of 432 discontinuing treatment.

It boggles the mind watching Camille (Greta Garbo) entertain groups despite having consumption (tuberculosis) and wondering how many others became infected by her.

Many disabled kids would benefit so much if parenting classes that focus on disability inclusion and the harms of ableism were widely available (so, free) to their parents.

I don't understand how anyone can watch how blatantly Grok is manipulated to answer the way ownership desires it to and then act like the other LLM chatbots couldn't possibly be similarly but less obviously compromised to produce responses in whatever way corporate interests and priorities dictate.

I am still fundraising for community gardens. If anyone wants to donate to my kofi
I’m sure this has been written about but one of the things I think those of us “on the left” are not practicing enough is direct asks. Mutual aid posts aren’t a substitute for a direct ask to make a powerful connection or move necessary resources

And yes, vaccines help…lessen the severity if and when you do catch them. They aren’t sterilizing.

That doesn’t mean they’re unimportant. It just means they should not be your only layer of protection—and certainly not your family’s.

Mask up in the germ tubes and the places they stop.
We always see a surge of infectious disease, including COVID, RSV, etc etc around Thanksgiving and Christmas. Unless you want to gift your fam with a few weeks sick this year, mask up as you travel!

It costs next to nothing to wear a mask

It’s one of the best investments you can make in your long term health

Covid is still here & still disabling

It only takes one infection to change your life forever

Masks, especially N95s, are great protection!

If you can’t afford one try a mask block:

Maybe my sense of whimsy will regrow soon...

Begging for multiple lives, including my own & getting almost no assistance, even with boosting, has stripped me emotionally bare & left only fear & desperation where whimsy, art & joy once lived inside me.

The risk from surfaces is less than 1 in 10,000 of catching COVID. We should handwash for many reasons but this alone WILL NOT protect you from COVID. 🧵

Any discussion of student absences and not mentioning COVID is telling me journalism is as dead as public health. Both are compromised, both are a joke and both liars .

Please help our friend @maedayj.bsky.social stay housed!
Mae's younger brother passed away late last month.
She had to work on the final arrangements.
Please help, everything for November and December needs to be in on time, no extensions, et al.
If you can't help, please share!

Unfortunately after the sudden loss of my very young brother last month, grief left me unable to advocate for myself and i fell $460 short on rent.

Someone sent 25 last night so I only need another 150 total for meds and necessities!
Ended up changing my goal back to 1000 instead of 900 because I've had to spend a lot this month on food and medical stuff and haven't actually been able to recoup those savings.

It is refreshing to hear the perspective of a person with a mental illness who does not want it cured. Marco wants to feel his extreme emotions. After he has lived on meds and felt numb, their sex while off meds seems incredible. And I suppose if you have family paying your bills…

No movement yesterday.

We're still at $883.12/2000 and needed to reach $1000 by the 20th to pay bills- despite all the help we're falling behind.

If we don't reach November's goal of $2k December will be impossible.

Please help. We're just trying to stay afloat until we can make up lost income.
I've put it off too long

In three days we won't have money for heating fuel, feed, or groceries. We're basically fucked. I need a goal of $2000 by the end of November, about $500 of that needs to be immediate, and we've never made a goal before.

Please help.

These days, every time I see a person who is exposed to a lot of people going through a serious medical situation too young, with condition usually seen in people much older than them (especially a wealthy person with access to good medical care), I wonder if it's COVID organ damage.
