More than one-third of cancer cases are preventable, massive study finds Many cancers are linked to two modifiable habits: tobacco smoking and alcohol consumption.

Basic prevention strategies KEY!

More than 1/3 of cancer cases are preventable, massive study www.nature.com/articles/d41...

"Nearly 40% of new cancer cases worldwide are potentially preventable..."

"...tobacco smoking was the leading contributor ... followed by infections & drinking alcohol."

A photo of a person with light hair in a messy bun, seen from behind, sitting on a rocky overlook and looking out at distant blue mountains under a cloudy sky. Overlaid text reads: “It is not my burden to present as the kind of victim you’re willing to believe.” The quote is attributed to “~Mandy,” with the handle “@pottymouthpollyanna” at the bottom.

Abuse and violence happen to people you like and people you don’t.

People you trust and people you don't cause real harm whether or not you believe it.

Every time, “they’d never do that” & “I don’t believe them.”

Disbelief is common. Silence is the result.

I only flare up for two reasons:
1. for everything
2. for nothing

No matter your bank account. #chronicillness sucks. But why does it feel so awkward to watch wealthy, ill influencers with access and abundance act like we're having the same experience?

Imagine being that beautiful and not knowing what a credit score is.

Prevalence of Central Sensitization in Postural Tachycardia Syndrome This case-control study analyzes the prevalence of central sensitization syndrome in patients with postural tachycardia syndrome among those presenting at a single academic medical center.

Most people with #POTS meet criteria for central sensitization, meaning their nervous systems show physiologic amplification of sensory and autonomic signals, measurable on testing, as a downstream effect of autonomic and cerebrovascular dysfunction.

"Diagnosis of chronic fatigue syndrome using beat-to-beat autonomic measurements" "....indicating less effective cardiac hemodynamics" Well, well.

Plain and simple my politics is that nobody should be wealthy enough to make their insecurities my problem.

Advocacy Support: Help for The Vulnerable to Get Better Care When symptoms are dismissed or ignored, advocacy support can be life-changing. Learn how to speak up, find help, and get the care you truly deserve.

" #SelfAdvocacy has become the system’s way of shirking responsibility. Instead of offering proper #support, it hands you a badge for “trying really hard”..After, the system uses that same effort as an excuse to deny help.": buff.ly/l4qMuvi

Hero of 2025: Alice Wong The disability justice icon's last message: "Don’t let the bastards grind you down."

“I’m honored to be your ancestor and believe that disabled oracles like us will light the way to the future. Don’t let the bastards grind you down. I love you all.”

I was today years old when I learned there are a few internet doctors completely against statins, even for those high risk or post event. And people I know follow them. God help us all and our internet experiment.

They always look like cutie pies with bed head.

UnitedHealth reduced hospitalizations for nursing home seniors. Now it faces wrongful death claims The company says it is protecting nursing home residents by curbing unnecessary hospital transfers. Whistleblowers allege cost-cutting tactics have endangered the elderly

“It’s not personal, it’s business.”

Nothing makes you want to vomit faster than the Orange Theory class screenshot from 7 years ago when you were mobile. 🤢

A coopers hawk perched on a bare tree limb, leaning down. Lunch cropped out.

A charming backyard bird feeder turns into a horror show when a Cooper’s hawk devours Charlie the chickadee, whom you personally fattened for months.

I'm so glad we all bought into this scheme of paying additional for streaming without ads to have the luxury of still having ads.

I’m not talking about all that What Doesn’t Kill You Makes You Stronger stuff. No. That’s simply not true. What doesn’t kill you very often makes you weaker. What doesn’t kill you can leave you limping for the rest of your days. -Matt Haig

Slow news day for anyone with basic pattern recognition.

Tell you what I am real tired of being asked to give politicians the benefit of the doubt.

Maybe we should give them all the burden of skepticism instead and see which ones overcome it.

Americans still don't realize how bad it has gotten and how much worse it is going to get.

Immense destruction, pain and suffering, and we're not even at the tip of it.

People don't really talk about how emotionally gutting it is to try to do something you can't physically do for more than a second if your life depended on it. Physical therapy is fn humbling.

A spiritual attack does not put you in ICU but a beef and benzos diet might. Please vet all your influencer and anecdote jambalaya before believing.
