FWIW, as a woman, I’ve never cared or felt excluded when people say “you guys” or “dude”. I say these things all the time in casual conversation. The only time I’ve felt weird about it is if these terms are used in a less casual setting, and even then, it’s usually because someone has used these terms and then realized that there is, in fact, at least one woman present, and then they start tripping all over themselves to correct their wording, and it’s awkward as fuck (and a little funny) watching them try to sort themselves out.

It was really effective (increase in focus & motivation, large decrease in depressive symptoms) for both my depression and for my ADHD when combined with my normal meds, but I couldn’t help but notice wild hormone fluctuations (that were absolutely as a result of the bupropion and couldn’t be attributed to anything else) that only got worse as my dosage increased. These hormone fluctuations caused a whole span of other issues, everything from emotional instability to cramping and my period going really out of whack. It was very reminiscent of going through puberty, honestly. And all of that went away when I switched to something else instead. Shame, really, as the replacement meds aren’t as effective, but they also don’t make me feel like I’m 13 again either, so ultimately it’s a win

Bupropion fucked with my hormones in really bizarre ways, which was really unfortunate because it was super effective otherwise.

Saved for later. Thanks!

Ha! Fat chance of that happening.

I dunno, maybe.

Vivian. She publicly denounced him, changed her name, and gave an interview about how horrible musk is as a father. There are many articles written about this, here is just one.

I’ll keep calling it twitter as long as musk keeps deadnaming his daughter

Siblings of grandparents are “granties” and “gruncles”

This guy made an app called Soosee that looks at labels for you, and highlights ingredients that are not ok. The app is pre-populated, but has a customizable element to it, meaning that you can manually add in all the bullshit names and it’ll search for them, too. It works really well, I use it all the time as I have a sulphate allergy, and they pull the same bullshit there.

Did you mean Douglas Adams?

Haha love it!

Great post, but I did get thrown for a loop with the word placeboing, which of course I read as place-boing…

Goblin.tools is the best! Are the best?

Am the best!!

Yeah, unfortunately meds don’t fix ADHD. They’re a treatment, not a cure. Meds are supposed to be used in conjunction with other treatments (such as therapy, as an example) to be most effective. I know, it sucks, but these are the cards we’ve been dealt.

The University of Alberta has a free course on science literacy. I think it’s available on coursera.

It is! Turns out she had spent a lifetime fighting back. It wasn’t just some isolated incident, and she was far from the first person to refuse to give up her seat. The book sets all this straight.

Bold of you to assume I’d read or even see that note…

Huh. That’s a good point, I should do something about the hot house I live in. Probably easier doing that than relocating my meds to a different place where I’m guaranteed to never find them again

Honestly? In America, if you’re white, you’re probably fine. Black though, evidence and all of American history tells us otherwise. America is racist, and cops seem to be even more so.
