I never watched Girls because it made me want to die, but am reconsidering on the strength of this clip alone

i’m not even joking, it was hannah horvath’s brief stint in the iowa writers’ workshop that convinced me not to go to grad school.

Katie Couric’s first husband died of colon cancer at age 42 in 1998. And her sister died of pancreatic cancer at age 54 in 2001 so I’m Having trouble figuring out why she thinks there’s an epidemic now.

🚨 “WHAT THE F*CK IS GOING ON?” — KATIE COURIC WARNS 17 CANCERS ARE SKYROCKETING… AND NO ONE CAN EXPLAIN WHY Katie Couric says doctors are now seeing something they can’t ignore: • A 21-year-old with stage 4 colorectal cancer — no family history • Patients in their 20s, 30s, 40s being diagnosed late… already metastatic • 17 different cancers increasing among people under 50 And even specialists are struggling to explain it. Possible factors being discussed: • Ultra-processed food • Microplastics + “forever chemicals” • Antibiotic overuse • Environmental exposure Couric: “It’s not just lifestyle… something is going on.” And the most unsettling part? Many cases are being caught too late. So what changed? What do you think is actually behind this spike?

@meghan_daum @naomirwolf I thought you were talking about the cancers.

@naomirwolf It's been going on a long time.

Also why oh why are liberal women using the F word ALL THE TIME? Does being a lady suddenly have zero meaning?

More judges and courthouses is not going to work with the current system. In Ontario, much of the day — I would estimate 1/3 — is wasted due to inflexible collective agreements and incompetence.
Then there is the problem of the law itself, which is in drastic need of streamlining and reform.
Throwing money and bodies at complex problems is not a solution. And even if it is eventually part of the solution it can’t be the starting point. Or you’re just throwing good money after bad.
English
Absolutely need to do this. More judges and courthouses (plus support staff) too. Backlogs and overcrowding is bad for literally everyone involved.

Ontario’s prisons need to be expanded. Our population has grown tremendously, prisons have not kept up and are overcrowded. The people criticizing expanding prisons are activists who believe prisons are racist, colonial institutions that should exist. torontosun.com/opinion/column…

Unlike many of the people in the replies, I don't think doctors, nurses and everybody else are all pedophiles waiting to prey on innocent children.
This is exactly why I have issues with making it routine to ask parents to leave the room so that kids can be questioned about whether they're being abused.
I simply don't believe this is the best -- or even a good --way to detect abuse. And it too is based on the idea that pedophiles and abusers are everywhere.
Snarcasm Queen - Hightower Hater@MoreOrLessAMess
Modern parents suck so badly and are ruining their children because of it. "Hey, baby, the nurse is just going to talk too you for a minute, to check that you're safe. If there's anything you want to ask without me there, now is a good time. I'll be right outside."

I consented only to “excision of redundant labia” when I was barely 18, a virgin, and still in high school.
I was told “no risks to sexual function,” which I also read online everywhere I looked.
My OB/GYN, later made president of @texmed and @DallasCMS, completely amputated my labia minora, amputated my frenulum, and cut into clitoral body skin without my consent, which denervated the glans of my clitoris.
This happened because clitoral/vulvar anatomy was censored from medical school and OB/GYN education. The standard of care was to do surgeries they were never trained to do on anatomy they didn’t know.
Thats why I’ve been an activist. 22 years later, this is FYI STILL HAPPENING FOR THE SAME REASONS. Though I’ve changed 20 major medical textbooks, 2 anatomy apps, etc., this isn’t enough to get surgeons educated.
Last I checked, OB/GYNs still aren’t required to know clitoral anatomy. Textbooks define the frenulum as part of the labia minora and do not recognize its function. Tbh I was so focused on getting the course of the dorsal clitoral nerves added that I didn’t focus on the innervation of the frenulum (posterior labial nerve). This is recognized in 0 OB/GYN resources. ☠️
The white lines show where my doctor cut me basically.

@jess_ann_pin Why was a part of your genitalia amputated if I may ask? I am shocked. In which country did that happen?

I think it’s weird to spend your life obsessing over toilets and poop. It would be way more
Logical to make everyone wash their hands upon entering your house if you’re neurotic about toilets and poop.
Azadeh Khatibi, MD, MS, MPH@AzadehKhatibiMD
I think it’s rude and weird to somehow think that it’s irrational for people not to want the insides of public toilets and pooped-on grass and allergens to be rubbed on their carpets and floors. The fact that it affects your fashion sensibilities should be secondary. I also think this is partly cultural, and more in Western cultures I’ve noticed some people have neuroses about their own feet and other people’s bare feet. And why wear socks with holes or not take care of your feet or have smelly feet on a constant basis? If there’s an issue with this, please address it either physically or mentally. And if you have a physical condition that makes it necessary to wear shoes (again, please try to address the root issues of this) then bring some indoor shoes with you—just like someone would bring their own meal instead of expecting their host to cater to their special dietary needs! Also, the author of this article is being illogical when they argue that having to wear someone else’s slippers inside the house is gross (btw, you touch the same door knobs and sit on the same chairs, don’t you?) but in the same vein wearing outdoor shoes indoors is not gross. There’s a whole ‘nother thread of conversation, which is the demarcation between the indoor home sanctuary and the outdoor spaces, and why that’s important to maintain physically and mentally/ emotionally and spiritually, but that’s another conversation for another time.

If these people are Canadian how come they don’t know the difference between boots and shoes?
Of course you take off winter boots. That’s not what’s being discussed.
Ian Runkle/Runkle of the Bailey @ YouTube@IanRunkle
@esanzi In Canada removing shoes is generally the norm, because we have slush and muck.

@DomenickDoran @TheGeorgePu Unsupported, I agree. But you should get to keep everything you purchased on that device. Otherwise, it shouldn’t be called buying. It’s just renting then.

My old Kindle still works perfectly.
Probably the highest ROI purchase I've ever made.
Amazon just killed every Kindle made before 2012.
No store access. No downloads. Factory reset and it's a brick.
You bought the device. You bought the books.
Turns out you were renting both.

@sorcertree @jb_61820 @NinaPanickssery @NanWiegand The OP talks about “using” grandparents to replace daycare and Nannies. What exactly do you think that means?

You talk about discord and division yet your responses are often passive aggressive, suggesting that those who don’t agree with you are “sad”, don’t understand caring for loved ones, and can only think in monetary terms.
For example if you had read what I’ve said on this thread, you would see that I have made the point repeatedly and from the beginning that helping out is great, expecting full time unpaid labour is absolutely not.
English
@AnnB03 @NinaPanickssery @NanWiegand This is my point. That’s not what I said. For some reason, people on X take what is said to the extreme, get angry, and then go to the opposite extreme. It’s dishonest and creates discord and division where none really exists. Perhaps that’s the purpose? Makes the world worse.

@Ya_Sher1 @rustyrogers3 @NinaPanickssery @NanWiegand How exactly do you think Boomers effed up the housing market?
There are plenty of GenX and elder millennials involved in the policies that have created the housing shortage.
English
@AnnB03 @rustyrogers3 @NinaPanickssery @NanWiegand Correct. They fucked up a good thing then told the next generation to work harder when they had life on easy mode. House is 7x yearly average salary now back then it was 2-3x. It’s so abundantly clear and the only ones who disagree are trying to move the blame from themselves.
English
@Ya_Sher1 @rustyrogers3 @NinaPanickssery @NanWiegand The point you are trying to make is not at all clear beyond that you are very mad at boomers and blame them for the current housing crisis.
English
@AnnB03 @rustyrogers3 @NinaPanickssery @NanWiegand What point are you making? It’s abundantly clear the point I’m making. Just because your demo is at fault doesn’t mean I’m wrong.
English
@JF_XVII @NinaPanickssery @NanWiegand Yes.
This is what my mother and stepfather did for their grandchildren and I plan to do the same
English
@AnnB03 @NinaPanickssery @NanWiegand I understand these are your expectations, not what is happening for you today, am I right ?
English
I appreciate your sharing your personal circumstances.
I would say for grandparents who live nearby I would expect them to visit once or twice a week with a mix of family gatherings and time spent looking after the kids so the parents can have date night.
On top of that I would expect grandparents to help out in urgent and/or unexpected circumstances like a sick kid at the same time as an important work presentation or a caregiver who gets sick or quits on short notice.
After the kids are one, two or three weekends off per year for the parents seems reasonable to me.
And when they hit four years old, a week of summer vacation.
Once the kids are eight older, I think a lot depends on activities available at their grandparents and how compatible everyone is.
English
@AnnB03 @NinaPanickssery @NanWiegand Or how often do your parents take care of your kids, if you are not a grand mother yet.
English
@JF_XVII @NinaPanickssery @NanWiegand I mean I can tell you that 90% of the Boomers I know couldn’t wait to be grandparents and dote on their grandchildren. But where does that get us?
We obviously see the world very differently.
English
@AnnB03 @NinaPanickssery @NanWiegand My parents may have relied on my grandma more than the average, but the current status is not my own view only. 90% of my colleagues and friends share, unprompted, that their parents are relunctant to help, even a day or part of the holidays.
English
I don’t think you’re lying. BUt I do think you may be having difficulty accepting the fact that your parents are more detached from their children and grandchildren than others and take comfort from the idea that this painful situation is not personal but rather generational. It’s a coping mechanism.
English
@AnnB03 @NinaPanickssery @NanWiegand The GP are happily taking care of kids but these people, totally unprompted, are malicious and say otherwise to their friends, colleagues and online. What for ? What is the benefit ? Just lying. They like it. I like it.
