Hi, I’m Hannah, and I’m epileptic! Everyone should know basic seizure first aid. A thread 🧵: • Stay with the person until they are alert, and try to time the seizure if possible • Do NOT restrain them or try to keep them still • Do NOT put anything in their mouths

I'm trying a couple of new ways to try to contextualize current COVID numbers to help people understand the scale of the current problem. I'll post these tests in this thread. Please provide feedback... P.S. these are real estimates for the week ending Oct 14/23

Guess when I was at the doctor’s office today? Bonus points for time in the exam room.

What an excellent and clearly reasoned take on autism diagnoses and the benefits of labels. I don't know if I've ever seen a more succinct sentence on the topic than "Autistic people are never short of labels, whether they have a diagnosis or not."

In 1968, Ancel Keys & Ivan Frantz began a randomized control trial involving 9000+ people to study the effects of replacing saturated fat with vegetable oils high in linoleic acid. The study concluded in 1973, but the complete results remained unpublished during Keys' lifetime. In 2013, the raw data was discovered at the estate of Ivan Frantz. Analysis of the data showed that while replacing saturated fats with vegetable oils did reduce serum cholesterol by 14% on average, it did not reduce the risk of death from coronary heart disease or other causes. In fact, cardiovascular mortality increased when saturated fats were replaced. According to the paper, "There was a 22% higher risk of death for each 30 mg/dL (0.78 mmol/L) reduction in serum cholesterol." scientificamerican.com/article/record… ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

Excellent visual illustrating the absurdity of #France’s 🇫🇷 new abaya ban by @PeterHogness. Bc no clear legal criteria exist for defining “abaya,” enforcement of this ban—which is seeing girls expelled from public schools every day—will necessarily pivot on racism.

Today in 1659, Etienne Trudeau arrived in New France and began working as a master carpenter. About 250 years later, Charles-Emile Trudeau became a millionaire by building gas stations. Charles' son, Pierre, became Prime Minister of Canada, as did Pierre's son, Justin.

@Inner_Bonding @Theholisticpsyc I’ve described myself as an outgoing introvert. I’m happy to initiate conversations and chat with people I don’t know. But I know my limits energy-wise and cherish my alone time.

@Theholisticpsyc Introverts, myself being one often can be misread as shy when in fact we’re not. Often times we don’t even like attention. And we take time to reflect before responding or jumping in. And we like it that way!

Maybe you aren’t shy. Maybe you feel no need to perform. Maybe you take your time.

New installation (today) by artist JR on the facade of Opéra Garnier… It took the metro in the scorching heat so you would be the first to see it 😉😊
