It takes 225 million years or so for the Solar System to make one orbit around the galaxy. Sharks evolved long enough ago that they’ve done it twice.

"Men kva er det dei viser til som forsking? VGTV. Eit lesarinnlegg i Aftenposten. Ingen fagfellevurderte studiar, ingen solide data. Likevel blir det presentert som om det var medisinsk sannheit.
Det er ikkje berre uprofesjonelt. Det er farleg."

Vi ser med uro korleis private aktørar kastar seg på bølgja etter «Harald og sytepavene»

Når smerte blir underhaldning og håp blir selt utan forsking, står pasientane att med mistillit. Helsevesenet må byggje på kunnskap, ikkje illusjonar.

@annakatarinaz - The pressure to be a credible patient is intense. You can't look too well (not sick enough), or too poorly (faking it for attention). You can't argue back ("difficult" pt), or break down (head case), or seem too interested in medication (addict). Any others? #chronicpain

It's Trans Awareness Week! So increase your weekly awareness of us by reading our stories.

On that note:

Trans authors (I mean authors who are trans, NOT cis people who write about trans people), drop your book links here and I'll try to repost as many as I can throughout the day.

Cis people: Repost trans authors' book links.

Cis people who want to complain about being excluded: gtfo

Being a trans author is fucking weird right now. Hell is actively unfolding all around us but I still need to be like, "hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book? It won't make anything better, but it's kinda fun?"

So....hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book?

Datteren min, Julie, har skrevet kronikk! Hun er kronisk syk og har vært nødt til å bytte yrke. Hun skriver om hvordan manglende vilje til tilrettelegging fra arbeidsgivere hindrer oss med redusert arbeidsevne fra å bidra det vi klarer. Så stolt av henne!

Norge har ikke råd til å kaste bort arbeidslyst

Jeg har utdanning, erfaring og et sterkt ønske om å bidra. Likevel er jeg «usynlig» på arbeidsmarkedet fordi jeg har en diagnose.

As an American pastor, I must address American sins. Right now, key American sins are:

Feminism

- Abortion

- Homosexuality

Mass immigration

Rampant black crime

Effeminate men

Zionism

- Tolerance

Transgenderism

Atheism

The Gospel has words for all of it.

It’s Bookshop Day so here’s a poem in celebration of all those amazing bookshops out there.

Never Judge a Bookshop by its Cover

It may call itself a bookshop, but don’t be fooled by that.
There may be books in the window, on the tables and shelves,
but really, it’s a travel agent selling all-immersive holidays,
weekend breaks, first-class tickets to other worlds,

with a low carbon footprint. It’s a pharmacy as well,
dispensing medicines, pick-me-ups, balms: if symptoms persist,
please consult your local bookseller; it’s a tailor’s, offering
a made-to-measure service to achieve the perfect fit;

and a hardware store, with a range of empowering tools
to fix you up, recharge your batteries, switch on lightbulbs.
Its walls are lined with treasure as precious as any jeweller’s,
and twice as bright. Spines shine gold, silver, sapphire, emerald;

there are diamonds amongst them. It’s a garden centre,
a place where ideas get planted and a thousand stories bloom,
and a greengrocer, selling fresh, locally-sourced produce,
as vital as your five-a-day and more readily consumed.

It’s a multiscreen cinema. Peek behind the curtain
of each jacket and you’ll find a movie waiting silently to begin.
A stationer’s supplying notepads, reams of paper,
with the words conveniently filled in

to save you both the time and bother. A wholefood store
and a fast-food joint. A cosy haven from the cold.
A friendly, family restaurant: Today’s special will revive
a flagging spirit and restore a lagging soul.

It’s a tourist information centre equipped with maps
and helpful guides to steer us on our way.
A busy square in which a whole town gathers
or just a place to hold the world at bay

for a few untroubled stolen minutes. It’s itself,
and yet it’s something larger, a universe so vast
you could spend ten thousand lifetimes there –
it may call itself a bookshop, but don’t be fooled by that.
