(I incorrectly call it chemo--it's not exactly. It's just people are more familiar with the general concept of chemo than targeted therapy, but I received it the same ways, via infusions done at the hospital, and has a number of similar side effects as chemo)

Breast cancer is cancer in the breast tissue.

Note that not all breast cancer is estrogen receptor positive. ER+ breast cancer is the most common but there are other types as well. My breast cancer is (uncommon) mix of ER+ and non-ER+ cancer cells, which is why I'm on a targeted therapy med

Every single piece of research demonstrates that this is dangerously medically wrong. We’ve never had any reason to believe otherwise, medicine has always known this.

In terms even the NHS can understand: people at highest risk of breast cancer all have one thing in common and it isn’t a uterus.

Considering how many horror stories I’ve read about relatives posting real pictures of babies and kids on public social media platforms against the parents’ wishes, I can only fathom how widely accessible AI tools will escalate these violations

California will start producing and selling its own supply of low-cost insulin in January.

The suggested price for consumers will be no more than $55 for a pack of five pens.

Marie McGowan, 89, has died 3 years after a brutal assault during which she was put headfirst into a rubbish bin. Her attacker, Alex Bailey, believed she was "a man dressed as a woman."

This is the world the transphobes are creating "to protect women."

RIP Marie. share.google/PFaI5YTh9tBw...

NEW — I dug into the story of ICE abducting a 13-year-old boy in Massachusetts and moving him 500 miles across state lines without notifying his mother, local cop's complicity, and how the federal government's justification for such cruelty is already falling apart:

Everything about John Roberts's approach to the Voting Rights Act makes sense when you remember that John Roberts has has always been hostile to the Voting Rights Act, never believed it was appropriate, and has spent most of his 45-year legal career working to hollow it out.

Legacy Russell’s "Black Meme" says owning, replicating and remediating Black material is a theft rooted in historical frameworks of subordination.

OMFG. I am a survivor of an ectopic pregnancy (one of the super rare ones, not a tubal one and yes I had an abortion to terminate it, saving my life). THEY ARE NOT VIABLE. And a goddamn OBGYN should know that and know why they are not. It is unethical to deny treatment for an ectopic pregnancy.

I fucking hate Nazis and not just the German one of history

Weird how this stuff keeps happening to Republicans!

if you're black and 14, you're a man. if you're white and 40, you're just a kid

The Central Park Five—whom Trump wanted executed for a crime they did not commit—were 14 to 16 years old.

Feels like fascism comes earlier every year.

I've been playing since 2016 and this is easily the most disappointing event in my time playing. It's suppose to part of what we paid for with Solstice, but it's rehashed, boring and repetitive. I gave ZOS a chance with this seasonal pass model but not again.

1/ The first excerpt of Virginia Giuffre's posthumus memoir is out and it is gutting: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Feels like this will be a useful meme for the next few years

Long story short, an actual Nazi doxxing ring. Enough people reported them that they went away for like 12 hours and then Elon personally brought them back. The site is dead. If you’re still on there, go lock your account right now

the president using the office to punish americans that didnt vote for him should really be one of the biggest scandals in americas history

“the protests don’t count if they happen in blue cities.” so, what, they aren’t americans? their voices don’t matter?

would love to know where vought got the authority to shutdown a government agency established by statute
