Breast cancer diagnoses rose by over 300% between 1973 and 1992.
Was there a breast cancer epidemic?!
NO.
Mammograms were implemented for screening in 1976.
PREVALENCE is a function of being able to correctly diagnose something.
This is also about autism.

I haven’t lived through the collapse of a civilisation before
I study history so I have read the guidebooks, but they don’t quite capture the experience of being there

You don't need religion to have morals.
If you can't determine right from wrong, you lack empathy, not religion.

This is the face of a cat who is completely unrepentant about licking my vegemite toast and forcing me to make a new round before I’d even had my cup of tea.

Never tell your daughter that when a boy is mean or rude to her it’s because he has a crush on her.
Don't teach her that abuse is a sign of love.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but you don't need to justify your reading preferences and choices to anyone. Audiobooks count as reading. Also, you don't have to finish books you don't enjoy. Don't read to impress, read for yourself. Life's too short, love yourself, ok?

Blocking Nazis, trolls, and fascists doesn’t make it an “echo chamber.” People need to stop gaslighting us into thinking we have to listen to Nazis and debate trolls in order to be informed.

A repeat thought, Bluesky, & a Librarian told you this so it must be true 🤣
Audiobooks definitely count as reading (as well as listening). If you've played through an audioook, its perfectly fine to describe that as "I have read [x]"
All other forms of assistive software count as reading too 💙📚
