Looking at a solid report from last month and it's got my name on it 😂 despite having no memory of having done it

colleague: really? you show up for a few months a year, and *this* is what you want to pick a fight about?? 😭

me:
your job is to keep them happy.
my job is to keep them from getting too far out of line.
we are not the same.

I have no hot flashes nor night sweats, and I sleep like a champ.

So it's difficult to see a benefit at this point to starting hormones — it'd just be Another Thing To Remember To Do.

Creatine: might help with fitness/recovery, but you have to do the work - it doesn't just work on its own

Testosterone: naturally falls during peri/menopausal years, but climbs again in 70s-80s.

Can try it for fitness/recovery, or if experiencing problems with sexual functions

Topical vaginal estrogen: very safe, start early for any local discomfort from atrophy, dryness, pain etc. — helps prevent urinary tract infections

Canadian guidelines: systemic hormone therapy indicated for vasomotor symptoms (hot flashes, night sweats).

U.S. guidelines: the above, plus osteoporosis risk

International Menopause Society guidelines: the above, plus maybe helpful for other things (cardioprotection, mental status etc.)

You do you, of course.

My doc was very clear that they were not trying to discourage me from trying hormones out, but I felt it was a solid case of "too many cooks in the kitchen"

This has been the best explanation I've found that jives with what I've been experiencing...

...which has made me *extremely* reluctant to try hormone therapy, because the wonky feedback loops mean the estrogen lows are not consistent — in fact they may be excessively high!

Visceral, seismic hormonal shift.

Almost a low-grade fever-like thirst and mild hot dry heat, racing heart, staggering weariness, feeling suddenly leaden. Topped off with a slight headache, dizziness and out-of-body feeling.

Don't love how many load-bearing supervisory roles are either in separation/divorce proceedings or out with serious health conditions, sometimes both

Dear everybody, the people buying the new issuance from Tech companies are NOT experts in AI. Don't ask them for their opinion on AI. They are debt investors and are buying debt from companies that have more cash than debt outstanding. They won't add any value with their opinion on 'AI'.

I did not go to a school that taught how to pick a menu item that provides enough calories yet is easily eaten while talking through an agenda, without getting grease all over clothes.

Sharon @sharonk.bsky.social · 1d

it's utterly wild how the Heritage Foundation president talks about other people

if you found a guy talking like this outside, you'd probably call the cops

But here’s the most uncomfortable truth of all: the parasites that have taken over so much of our country—pantsuited girlboss advertising executives, Skittle-haired they/them activists, soy-faced pajama-clad work-from-home HR apparatchiks, Adderall-addicted dog mom diversity consultants, nasally voiced Ivy League regulatory lawyers, obese George Soros–funded police abolitionist district attorneys, hipster trust fund socialists—are some of the least impressive people in the history of the world. The Uniparty would never have achieved what it has in this country without a great degree of rottenness, of decadence, of torpor, of complacency already

NEW from me:

Political hostility, high visa fees and (in the case of the UK) stagnant incomes are making the UK and US less attractive destinations for top international talent.
