@ofnadw @offbeatorbit When it’s inserted, yes. Then they have it in all day while they’re awake and they’re awake when it’s removed

@katieee817 @offbeatorbit Hmm patients definitely have sedation including general anaesthetic for cervical brachytherapy

20k likes and is still up even after they’ve been corrected and have admitted that they were wrong. Incredible stuff.
I dunno@nonbinaryfenris
Do they treat prostate cancer by shoving a giant spiky dildo up your ass? Everything in gynecological treatment is so fucking scary! You can really tell that they invented it to torture enslaved women!
English
@offbeatorbit The fear mongering is bad and dangerous, but there also is definitely a difference between the way men’s and women’s pain are treated.
English
@offbeatorbit TBH the pap discourse is dumb but this one is somewhat valid. I’m a radiation therapist and the men’s treatment is NOT like the women’s. Prostate brachy is done entirely under anesthesia, but women are only under for the insertion. It’s horrific and there should be a better way.

@MarkLevineNYC Here’s a very easy thing to do: don’t reinvest in Israel bonds

I want YOUR ideas on how the Comptroller’s office can help make NYC a more affordable, safer, fairer, more prosperous city for all. levinetransition2025.com

@Leigh_Phillips @BenBurgis I don’t relate at all to accidentally getting a nazi tattoo and then keeping it for years because I think it’s funny actually
English
Yeah, the more “dirt” that is found, the more utterly normal and relatable he seems.
Ben Burgis@BenBurgis
Still like Graham Platner a whole lot more than I like the prim little hall monitors digging up dirt on him, sorry.

@ryangrim I feel like I’m on crazy pills watching all you pundits rush to defend this guy. It’s ok to admit he’s a bad candidate. Every normal guy with decent politics doesn’t get to be a senator!! I know dozens of them who weren’t blackwater mercs and don’t have Nazi tattoos.
English
Not to overstate it, but this is a crucial moment for the Democratic Party. If they decide that normal people with some small skeletons in their closet (or inked on their chest) are not welcome, they are finished
Because they’ve tried the other way and it didn’t work.
Krystal Ball@krystalball
For me personally I’ll take a candidate with a regrettable tattoo over one who has steadfastly supported a genocide.

@deezhawn @lachancenaomi27 @offbeatorbit My biggest pet peeve working in retail is when a customer walks in and I say “hey how’s it going” and they very quickly respond “I’m just looking.” Close second is when they just completely ignore me.
English
@lachancenaomi27 @offbeatorbit I work at a coffee shop and the number of people who respond to "hi, how are you today" with a flatly stated coffee order is astounding lol

@mindyisser I recently sent 2 big bags of clothes and made like $250. It was a lot easier than selling them individually on poshmark or lugging them to buffalo exchange where they probably would have taken 1 thing for like $5.

@RossBarkan I had to pay 15% in 2018 to a broker who left me standing outside in the freezing cold for an hour when he didn’t show up the first time to show me the apartment.
English
What's the most beyond one month's rent that you've paid for a broker fee in NYC?

@OkButStill @maggswagger Alzheimer’s is also awful, but it’s not what he has. He has frontotemporal dementia. It looks very different from Alzheimer’s and that’s why his ability to speak and read is affected.

As a @BarnardCollege alum, I’m outraged that 2 former Israeli soldiers, now students @columbia, attacked students at a campus Palestine protest using illegal, military-grade weapons. 8 students have been hospitalized, dozens more sought medical care. Where is their protection?
English
Columbia must *permanently* ban the organizations that broke their suspension terms by leading an unauthorized protest chanting "Long live the intifada".
This video documents what the two intifadas in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict were like.
Retweet to let the world know.
Israel ישראל@Israel
Recently you might have heard calls for an intifada on college campuses. This is what an intifada looks like:

@EFischberger @RepBowman I am Jewish and I wasn’t allowed through a checkpoint in Hebron because the soldier guarding it didn’t believe me. She looked at my passport to see if it said my religion on it.
English
An outrageous lie from @RepBowman: "Myself, as a sitting member of Congress, could not walk through certain checkpoints in the West Bank because I wasn't Jewish!" There isn't a single checkpoint like this. He hates the Jews so much. He really does.
English
@RadishHarmers This obviously isn’t the primary goal, but at the very least, it doesn’t hurt to show Palestinians there are actual people who are in solidarity with them
English
Godspeed, of course. I'm certainly not claiming to be someone who knows something better to do instead. One must try. But it doesn't feel possible to make any difference to anything, however horrifying. No one in control is at all affected by anything ordinary people say or do.
Sridhar Ramesh@RadishHarmers
Protests with people organizing to hold signs together and chant and such might as well be MoveOn.org petitions. I've seen them for 500 causes in my life and I've never seen the powers that be change their actions in response to any of them.

@Boringstein The Hulk. The lift hill is always my least favorite part, so I love any roller coaster that just shoots you out. Kingda Ka also one of my favorites.

@JonahFurman I have a friend who did it and lives there now. I can connect you with her if you want to talk to her about it.

Earlier this evening, we sent our mission statement to senior leadership of @TestKitchen to announce that we are forming a union. We ask that they recognize our union quickly and voluntarily.

@BenBurgis @GTAA_Show Would like an update on the iatse contract!
