I read this recently - I saw someone here had recommended it. It is impossible to read it without hearing/seeing the four of them in your head, but definitely a good read. I hope there’s more books as a series soon!

Question: does the removal of hormone therapy only apply to transgender folks? Or will they discover that their testosterone treatments and estrogen therapies for menopause also fall under this ban?

Can anyone get in touch with Josh Gates from Discovery Channel? He must have enough contacts to be able to help out. I can’t find a non-sketchy profile on here for him to try and tag him.

Go to this MailChimp survey from the White House and check the “Other” box to open a comment window and then type in “Epstein files”. 😉

Just finished reading it after a 3 month wait for a copy from the library; thank you for writing this book!

I have had some great book recommendations through BlueSky - I found Jane Austen’s Bookshelf a fascinating read. As an English major, I thought I had a better handle on authors of that time period, but what a surprise that book was!

Definitely Quisp - they had rereleased it a while back and my husband was so excited to bring it home for me

I used to love the gum!

Fascinating! She is also a key plot point in The Undetectables series by Courtney Smyth (at least the first two book that are currently out) which someone on here recommended as well.

…there’s something to help with that??

Thank you! Just bought the Hope Blackwell series

It really does - now I’m kinda hoping for a prequel that details the adventures that clearly came before this book

Just finished this as well - our local library doesn’t have the second one in any format yet

Ooh, a tiny poem for a gross cold Monday with all the everything out there…yes please!

With no context, team 2

Side story - I was rushed to the ER with severe abdominal pain and the male doctor said “well, it could be your appendix, but it could be anything anything because you women have a lot of…stuff in there that could be the problem” 😬

Same here - my chart says “acquired loss of uterus” which is funny on its own but the amount of times I have to clarify what that means to medical professionals is mind boggling.

Came to search your posts for just this - read all 9 this week and was hoping it wasn’t the end! Looking forward to reading Killers of a Certain Age tomorrow

Just requested 3 of your books from my local library!

This is the most fun I’ve had all day

This is the front page of a fraudulent research article that purported to show a link between vaccines and autism. The word "RETRACTED" is written across it in large red letters. Wikipedia: On 28th February 1998, a fraudulent research paper by physician Andrew Wakefield and twelve coauthors, titled "Ileal-Lymphoid-Nodular Hyperplasia, Non-Specific Colitis, and Pervasive Developmental Disorder in Children", was published in the British medical journal The Lancet.[1] The paper falsely claimed causative links between the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine and colitis and between colitis and autism. The fraud involved data selection, data manipulation, and two undisclosed conflicts of interest.

Today is Retraction Day, when we observe the anniversary of the retraction (Feb. 2, 2010) of the fraudulent paper that purported to show a link between vaccines and autism. 🧪#medsky

If I could say one sentence to cats and make them understand it, it would probably be, “If you are going to puke, please do it on a hard surface.”

every single day I drink 200 mg of caffeine without eating and then wonder why my stomach is jacked up

I'm not teaching my grad course 'Civil Resistance: How It Works' this semester. But here is an abridged version of the course schedule, readings, and films I used the last time I taught it (in 2022). Just in case it's useful. drive.google.com/file/d/14RRJ...
