Spoiler alert: it’s the sleep issues

APPARENTLY.

Imo decent sleep is worth whatever ypu have to do.

Yeah it's late and I'm tired, appropriately enough, but it struck me as misleading so after i saw it go by several times, i really wanted to yell at it.

Even if it were true, sometimes you have to pick your battles.

Yeah some of us are bad at sleep and it's not like we don't know it's a problem.

I took a children's dose for about a year and it helped a lot. I still have it around in case i need it but it really seemed to reset something and now i don't need it often which is good because now it makes me muzzy the next day when it didn't before.

It's correlational. Causation has not been determined so i wouldn't worry excessively.

Full moon with large rainbow halo and a streak of cloud cutting across it. Tree foliage and power lines are also in shot.

Not to worry, I'm headed for bed but can look it up later.

Ok but it makes it seem like you're trying to correct people or take credit.

Yeah it's just real suspicious. "This supplement correlates to a health condition that is also correlative to the reason you were taking it!"

Ya don't say.

Yeah. Insufficient sleep is BAD bad.

Also melatonin is among the hormones that LC having folks seem to have reduced production of and the post-rona heart health situation is notably bleak.

Rock and Rule is Ferngully 2: they failed to save the world. Omar is Zak's descendant.

Gremlins and Hellraiser coexist in a universe in which you should absolutely never go to a garage sale.

For real they're adorable together tho. This looks like a nice show.

There’s a Steep Cost for Ignoring Black Expertise We live in a world bent on undermining Black life.

My final piece for @teenvogue.com politics section was a piece titled "There's a Steep Price to Ignoring Black Expertise" and boy has that come full circle.

Thank you @allegrak.bsky.social and the politics editorial team for turning this Head Start kid into a Black woman who writes for the public.
