Several men I knew back in college have since died from colon cancer in their late 40s early 50s because they ignored the signs (& family history) and didn’t seek treatment until it was way too late. Do the prep, get the test, live longer. Please.
Reupping this because a colonoscopy is no big deal and anyone over 40 should be talking to their doctor about getting one.
Take care of yourselves, people.

The prep isn't nearly as bad as it used to be, the surgery is the best nap you'll ever have, and the first meal after is a religious experience.

Someone really needs to run a campaign of “Floridians have been elected GOP governors, cabinet, & legislative majorities for almost twenty years now. All you’ve gotten is a state that does nothing for anyone but wealthy campaign donors. That’s not a state, that’s an investment fund.”

*in no sense* do people regard relinquishing their child as an “alternative” to terminating a pregnancy they do not want to carry to term.

No one warns you that success doesn’t always feel good.
Promotion can bring:
- More visibility
- More responsibility
- Less internal safety
So when relief doesn’t come, people assume something is wrong with them.
Nothing is.
You’re responding normally to sustained pressure without recovery.

Higher ed in Florida is spiraling and I hope those students and administrators are ignoring such a silly demand.
FAMU can't use the word Black on anything posted around campus related to Black History Month, to stay in compliance with Florida state laws against DEI. Black students can't use the word Black at their Historically Black College during Black History Month.

Bondi demonstrates that she doesn't actually know how federal government human resources law works.
Annual leave payout upon separation is an entitlement, and that separation being involuntary is immaterial. But I'm sure it sounded good on teevee.

The guidance for your first colonoscopy is now age 45 in the US! And earlier if you have any risk factors. Given the way the numbers are going these days I would not delay. I’m on a countdown to scheduling mine this summer….
Hello Bluesky user—are you, yes you, approaching 50?
Well, I have some bad news and some good news: you are at increased risk of dying a horrible painful death from colon cancer—BUT—there is something you can do to prevent it!
Yes, you should schedule your colonoscopy today!
