Sooo interesting on many fronts. Neuroimmune communication increases inflammation and lesion size, plus a potentially massive impact of the new migraine drugs #cgrpinhibitors #gepants #endometriosis

And if they’re “admitting“ to 50% then it’s more like 98%.

I’m curious what part of my triptan-resistant migraines are pressure-related and what part of these are something else related to immune /stress — also the unholy trifecta of hormone/mast cell/inflammation. Is there a collective of migraineurs researching this? And what comorbidities do we all have?

I’m interested because of my pain and also what this means in terms of folxs’ understanding of pain

Education: New treatments for migraine: CGRP monoclonal antibodies, gepants, and ditans

The treatment landscape for migraine has undergone rapid change as new classes of both acute and preventive treatments have been brought to market

Strombo coming out for Palestine, and Kneecap, against authoritarianism and with a message for @mark-carney.bsky.social & all Canadians.

I’d like to see more about young progressive women and men, including non-straight and non-white, maybe a few of the hundreds who do community work in economically hard times, and why they aren’t towering with resentment about themselves. And leave out former political staffers, please.

How Klee’s ‘angel of history’ took flight Klee’s famous angel appears tossed by the rough winds of history – and the drawing itself has been blown about the world by tragic events. Jason Farago tells the story of an icon.

"The angel would like to stay, awaken the dead, and make whole what has been smashed. But a storm is blowing from Paradise... The storm propels him into the future to which his back is turned, while the pile of debris before him grows skyward. This storm is what we call progress."
- Walter Benjamin

A crow's math skills include geometry Crows in a lab were able to distinguish shapes that exhibited right angles, parallel lines, and symmetry, suggesting that, like humans, they have a special ability to perceive geometric regularity.

Black Holes May Be ‘Supermazes’ of Many-Dimensional Strings Physicists think the insides of black holes may be complex mazes of tangled strings in higher dimensions

I too am a maze of many-dimensional strings.

A two-panel infographic compares strategic voting with proportional representation. The left panel, titled "Strategic Voting," has a winding, confusing path of yellow boxes with the following steps: “I like this party,” “What if they can’t win?” “Should I vote for another party?” and “Don’t get the result I wanted anyway.” The right panel, titled "Proportional Representation," shows a simple vertical path: “I like this party,” “Vote for this party,” and “Get the representation I voted for.” Below, bold text reads: “Strategic voting is a guessing game. PR makes every vote count – no second guessing needed.” A yellow box in the bottom right corner says: “Learn more at fairvote.ca.”

Democracy shouldn't be a guessing game.

Vote for who you believe in—and get the representation you deserve.

Demand proportional representation!

I’m participating in the TRR! Our Trans & NB friends need support more now than ever and this is JUST the beginning. So this week, read trans books, donate money to trans supporting orgs, & show our trans communities that we WILL NOT stand by while our gov tries to erase their identities. #booksky

But money and capitalism are not actually the same thing, and in the system we have right now, people who aren't paid for their work generally cannot keep doing their work.

Making sure creators get paid is how we make sure *making* art is accessible to everyone.
