Certain pharmaceuticals can’t be taken with grapefruit juice. Why? Furanocoumarins in the juice interfere with the gut & liver enzymes that activate/deactivate certain drugs. The interaction can lead to too much or not enough drugs in our system. 📷: Mike CCBYNCSA2 #Citrus #Rutaceae #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

“You don’t need a respirator for pollen, take antihistamines” “No point masking for smoke unless you’re wearing it 24/7” “They don’t work for Covid unless fit tested” We’ve failed at harm reduction. Even if something isn’t 100%, if you reduce risk & harm, that’s worth it!

Ya'll are killing me. As someone who has done movement work for a long time, folks are getting sloppy. 1. Before you get involved, be sure you know what it is and who you are getting involved with, know what it is you can and cannot risk, what it is you are willing to sacrifice.

💉 The #HPV #vaccine isn’t just safe — it’s revolutionary. A major Swedish study found it cut cervical cancer by nearly 90% when given before age 17. We’re not just preventing infections — we’re eliminating a cancer. #VaccinesWork #HPV #CervicalCancer #PublicHealth www.cancer.gov/news-events/...

if we are to survive the current American authoritarian turn, then “actually learning when to shut the fuck up on the Internet” has to be among our TOP priorities on the left

Also, quite frankly, we should really revive certain old ideas about “it is desirable to do charitable and virtuous things without demanding public attention for doing them.” Yes, it’s good to talk about these things sometimes to convince others to do them, but *there’s a line there*

I believe a crucial part of being a fully-realized human in 2025 is knowingly and joyfully hiding huge swaths of your life and experiences from the ever-gluttonous eyes of the Internet. It is also a genuinely meaningful act of personal resistance

It's very important to actually have a private life. I'm not talking about curating your online life, I think most people do that to varying degrees. But to actually keep some things, past and present, offline. No one should know everything about you.

Just, letting people know that we're okay here, I'm just, I am kinda not here for social media anymore. It's not really a way to keep up with friends for me and it is designed for commodification... of, we'll, everything. Most of my friends probably won't even see this bc I'm never here 1/?
