Childbirth and pregnancy during the first Trump era was a nightmare, and it is again.

My friends and I have been trying to get sterilized since the election. Half of us have been successful so far. It feels like one of the last ways we can protect ourselves

This is epigenetics, changes to a genome via stress and environment that are passsed to offspring. We’ve known for a while that older men have children with autism or schizophrenia more often than young men, and investigating the cause and mechanism like they have in this study will help people have healthier children in the future.

The type of RNA that are involved in this study are regulatory, which means they can help or prevent gene activity, and are very important in the development of an embryo because the egg doesn’t have this in abundance like the sperm does

Too much filler, it’s settling weird on her face and lips. I’m assuming she keeps injecting more without dissolving the previous batch. Look up pictures of her from 2018 and you’ll see how much filler she’s packed into her cheeks, eye troughs, and lips.

It also looks like her makeup is extremely dry, but the way it’s caked on over uneven skin does make me wonder if she has a condition like rosacea. I have rosacea and don’t wear makeup because it just looks worse than my bare skin lol

Last time I went through airport security the TSA took my cane from me and made me stand clutching the arm of a stranger while they xrayed me (or whatever that scan is). It was humiliating, and I’m lucky my knee didn’t give out during that ordeal.

On my first leg of the trip they gave me a wooden cane that was entirely too tall, but that was definitely better than not having one at all

I knew you’d know if it’s suitable, haha.

The one thing I hate about the one I have is that it’s made of plastic. You’ll have to share pics when you have made yours!

It made my life so much easier! I needed a carpal and cubital release in both arms and couldn’t even slice veg by the point I was entering hand therapy.

We’ll see if I still need it after the surgeries heal, if I don’t then I plan on donating it to an accessible device service in my state so it can help more people

I think mine has stainless in it, because it’s cheap. If you have brass on hand, why not? I think it’ll be strong enough, I’d just wonder about corrosion at the point where it meets the board

I have a cutting board with pins that suctions to the counter, been very helpful while my arms heal from surgeries

I have no idea what this is called, since I’m still new to Apple, but iPad has a handwriting correction feature in its Notes app. I recently had surgery on my dominant arm, so that feature really came in handy for taking notes at uni. I write in cursive with some mixed symbols and it’s able to handle that.

Maybe when going for a mini laptop you can try finding a tablet that also allows for a Bluetooth keyboard, this way you get practice writing by hand but can swap to keyboard after some time.

Alternatively, you could try the Pomodoro method while writing. I find it helps when my adhd is too stronk

I’m guessing that’s a typo given he died in 2019?

Wow, Kid Rock is only 55

My dog smells my car bumper on days I’ve been out, so I assume she thinks I’m taking the car for a walk

Kinda weird to call Hunter a VIP. I don’t think I’d even call him moderately important

This is the princess linked to Epstein.

He never really had a chance

From personal experience knowing someone who posted that stuff just to get a reaction out of people: he was beat by his dad (who then divorced his mom because she produced “that”) and was severely bullied in high school. It’s not an excuse, he just desperately wanted the world to feel as miserable as he did.

He showed me a video of someone being shot in the head once. Mind you, I’m the kind of person that breaks down when I accidentally run over an animal or hear a bird splat on a high-rise window. He thought it was okay to show me without my consent because the guy lived, but didn’t understand that violence, pain, and disfigurement are just as traumatizing as death.

He diagnosed himself with Anti-social PD while taking a psychology class, take that however you wish

I lived in Seattle and greater area for nearly a decade and had very few complaints about the transit system. I think the worst was it got pretty hot on the busses during the summer when everyone was leaving work lol

I left right as they started working on the light rail, why is traffic still so bad?

Tundra Swans are much smaller than Trumpeters. But the giveaway to me is the little white spot near the Tundra’s eye.

That or the pages are littered with paragraph-long highlights, underscores, and “THIS!!!” in the margins but no critical thought or insights on the passages
