THIS IS AMAZING! Researchers have made a SIGNIFICANT breakthrough in the quest for an HIV cure. By developing a method that enables the delivery of an mRNA-based therapy to make the virus VISIBLE WITHIN white blood cells, this approach paves the way to FULLY CLEAR the virus from the body. 🧪🧵⬇️

Until really very recently, public awareness of ADHD was that it was a thing some kids have which makes them disruptive at school. It's not exactly a shock that now people understand there's more to it than that, more people have realised they have it and it has a huge impact on their lives.

Look me in the damn eye and tell me this isn't better

From frequent misdiagnosis to accusations of hysteria, women’s health has been stuck in triage for decades. @emmakennedy.bsky.social speaks to Naga Munchetty about why medicine keeps failing women and how to navigate a system that wasn’t built for them. Listen here: linktr.ee/whypodcast

You can't pick and choose who gets equitable treatment. Either you are fighting for freedom and justice for ALL or you don't really want freedom for everyone. Just the people you deem worthy. That's called fighting for privilege not freedom.

hey here's something I would love us all to do like RIGHT NOW: find out if your local library is doing any kind of pride programming or display, and if they are, email them to say thank you and why it matters to you. whether or not you're queer. especially if you're in an area where it's fraught

PLEASE do this, as someone doing the Pride display at our library branch in a conservative area, every nice comment we get is a huge mood boost and helps soften the blow of the mean ones we're bound to get ;w;

This is the "high functioning"* AuDHD life. Hoping that I can build up enough good will with people so that when I collapse I have support. Hoping that I can go long enough between collapses to not exhaust how much people can support me.

Providing regular vaccination for everyone who wants it would be a highly efficient use of public money

Dozens of companies who sponsored Pride marches last year have pulled out this year, including: Dyson Nivea Tiffany & Co. Capital One UPS Disney DoorDash Live Nation Nissan Citi Corporate Pride was always a hoax. https://popular.info/p/pride-and-prejudice-in-corporate

This "white British people will be a minority" shite really gets at the core of the anxiety. They're furious because they see black people in Christmas adverts and brown people on the bus. It's that simple!

🚨Labour broken promise alert 🚨 Labour promised to upgrade Britain's homes but now they're going to leave millions in cold homes, paying huge bills while energy companies profit Households will pay £300 more in energy bills than they were promised (up to £500 for some!)

this is a genuinely unsettling thing to see an NYT writer say. it's essentially an uncontested fact that in the social media era, large majorities of people don't read past the headline.

Far from 'strangers', new statistics show that people seeking safety in the UK have deep roots here, writes Refugee Action's Tim Naor Hilton.

We are not strangers! We are neighbours, friends, colleagues. We are partners, parents, siblings, children. We are citizens of the world. No one is illegal!

Amidst continued societal violence, the need for joyful, inclusive environments, and focusing on thriving as a priority alongside survival is a must. #Love #Joy #Accessibility #Thriving

husband was doing wordle and I went to say, “Good for you, puzzles are so good for the brain!" but instead “Good job playing mind games” came out of my mouth and I think maybe I understand now why not very many people want to be my friend 😂😭😕

all i want is to kick someone in half.

"[She] had a hospital stay in December 2016... that meant she missed a letter about her benefits, saying she needed to be medically assessed. In January 2017, [she] was told she had missed the medical assessment and she was therefore judged to be fit to work." uk.news.yahoo.com/disabled-wom...

I had to explain to a Gen Z person today what a "Flowbee" is, so consider this a public service announcement. It was a home hair-cutting system you attached to a vacuum cleaner. It sucked the hair upright, cut it with attached blades & you controlled the length with attachments, as shown.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have discovered a GROUNDBREAKING new treatment for aggressive breast cancer with a 100% SURVIVAL RATE. By combining chemotherapy with Olaparib (Lynparza) BEFORE surgery, EVERY patient who received the protocol survived the CRITICAL three-year post-treatment period. 🧪🧵⬇️

Haven't seen this here yet so guess I'll post the greatest nature clip ever recorded. Possibly the greatest tracking shot of all time.

Being autistic is doing what was asked, then being lectured about not doing what was implied.

Why Traditional Animation Still Rules open.substack.com/pub/dailymov... As an animation historian, I obviously agree with this sentiment.

I think there's other stuff about wanting certain bodies available for sexual exploitation and child bearing/raising, but the fundamental fear trans people represent is that manhood isn't special, anyone can have it, and not everybody wants it. Trans men represent the "anyone can have it" part.

Remember the ultra-cool scene in the Matrix where Neo can dodge bullets? That's what it's like to be a HOUSE FLY. They defeat all attempts to swat them because they are 'The One': they're seeing your motion on a different time scale. Let's talk about how small animals perceive time differently.
