I was raised in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for the first half of my childhood My mom was wholly restricted in her travel, education, choice of work & expression Both parents were heavily restricted in their faith The national shows there - would always end with "Long live the King" Just sayin'

Man, National Parks were one of my favorite things about this country... *Praying intensely to all my Gods* "not the libraries 🙏 not the libraries 🙏 not the libraries 😭" #BookSky #LibraryKid #Libraries #NationalParks

"I'm getting too old for this shit" "There is no age," Dinadan said, "for which this shit is appropriate" And that, my friends, is the most apt quote for this year of my Goddess 2025, which I solemnly share with y'all, from "The Bright Sword" #BookSky

The "more people are getting sicker" doom and gloom falsely perpetuated by some of the Wellness influencers... And the "Christians are getting persecuted" doom and gloom falsely perpetuated by some of the religious... Seem eerily similar, don't ya think? #Science #NumbersDontLie 🧪

I checked the EO that came out yesterday... This is how 2025 has been so far: Me today: "Oh man! How can it get this bad‽" Tomorrow: I accept this challenge

Since Fourth Wing series is all the rage... I'm 42. Xaden, Ridoc, Violet et al, are kids. Scarred kids I'd invite over for grilled cheese & tomato soup and show some mama bear love But any other fans of Zaddy Tairn and his sass? His intro alone is just {chef's kiss} (No Onyx spoilers🙏) #BookSky

The funniest thing about this whole "Wellness vs Pharma" debate is the fact that the vast majority of wellness companies are owned by or in partnership with Pharma to begin with. We quibble while they laugh all the way to the bank either way

If any of you saw this article, let me give my layman understanding of the actual analysis... Of all the studies they reviewed in the meta analysis, the results were mixed, so the study authors insist on continuing to drink treated water - a home carbon filter can reduce that chlorine too. 🧪 1/2

Nature isn't kind. She isn't a matrimonial Goddess who watches out for us Nature is science. It's laws. Like time, it waits or cares for no man. Or woman. Science of evolution is the *only* reason our species stands today with both of them. #Science #Nature 🧪 1/2

So much of MAHA philosophy stems from the pretense that we don't know, or haven't investigated, the association between foods/meds, and neurological conditions/illnesses Just because you can't monetize the answer isn't reason enough to deny the evidence. #ADHD #Autism #MentalHealth 🧪

Remember the time when people could voice their opinion to a crowd, only when they've shown *some* semblance of a dedicated multi-year education on that specific subject? Because this {gestures at everything} is exhausting, y'all

My salad is so loaded she can walk safely at night

A treat for the chronically online 😂

Dear Menopause Friends, this Valentine's day, may you be blessed with your preferred pick of ❤️ Heart eyes over Dry eyes ❤️ Tingles of arousal over Tingles of extremities ❤️ Hug attacks over Panic attacks ❤️ Vaginal caresses over dryness (battery operated or otherwise) ❤️ Lotion massages over itchiness

"We have to reduce the incidence of chronic illnesses... by reducing the number of people we diagnose, like the poorer countries" What it says in a nutshell #MAHA #ExecutiveOrder 🧪

A few flu facts I think we all need to be know - If you get the flu one winter season, you may build immunity to *only that strain*.... *for only that season* You can still catch a new strain right after. Even immunity from that strain weakens by next season. 1/4

Them crunchy moms really thought the administration that backtracked all the environmental regulations the last time around was going to be the healthy choice this time huh?

Things were getting to a head that I needed to take the day off for myself. Stayed away from work, far away from social media as I could, away from all the news, and took a looooong afternoon nap. Peeked at the news just now and so glad that I did this. It's not looking good y'all 😵‍💫

A kick@ss ADHD superpower - ✨️Momentum✨️. Makes us unstoppable Well... we may get hit with a "distraction", or 2 or 3 before that Mo picks up. And we can rage out at Hulk levels when interrupted after that Mo kicks in. And we might burnout rest of the week if we ride that Mo too hard. And....

So much for all the hope of ramping up research on Menopause

Universities and health research teams are still stifled with concern from this refusal to heed multiple court orders. Instead they're getting "memos" justifying it despite the orders. A judge has already sent out a warning 🧪

BREAKING: The courts are doing their work. The block on NIH funds for "Indirect costs" for universities was temporarily halted by a Federal judge today. The halt can ONLY be lifted with approval from the courts, they have scheduled a hearing on the 21st to get this moving. #ScienceSky #NIH

Fellow ADHDers in the US... how are you coping with 2025? The overwhelm is overwhelming at new levels #ADHD #USA

BREAKING: A jet has collided into another in Scottsdale airport after veering off the runway. At least 1 dead and 3 injured.

My mother used to tell me stories of watching Protest Art performed on the streets when she was a child. Satirical theater or speeches rooted in the local language & culture, performed to challenge the status quo of class and caste warfare. I never got to see those myself in the city. 1/2
