St. Patrick's Day is that one special day of the year when a bunch of people get drunk just like they do every other day of the year.

@farah @Alice Aspartic acid / asparGusic acid.

Some believe that, for physiological reasons, these people (which constitute anywhere from 20 to 40 percent of the population) don’t produce the aroma in their urine when they digest asparagus, while others think that they produce the exact same scent, but somehow lack the ability to smell it.

For cyanide, it smells like bitter almonds and something like 1 in 5 or 1 in 3 can smell it.

I've always felt that spring was somehow more melancholic than autumn or winter. I'm not entirely sure why...

@nathanlovestrees

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Springtime_lethargy

Springtime lethargy is the state of fatigue, lowered energy, or depression associated with the onset of spring. Such a state may be caused by a normal reaction to warmer temperatures, or it may have a medical basis, such as allergies or reverse seasonal affective disorder. In many regions, there is a springtime peak in suicide rates.

The German term Frühjahrsmüdigkeit (lit. "Spring fatigue") is the name for (this)

Yes, I take it personally when you say you won't vote, or vote for the Dem. Why? Because among other things, the fascists tried to commit a Black GENOCIDE during the pandemic. Your actions or inaction will give them the power to do it again in some other way. My survival depends on them NOT gaining power. So does yours.

@StillIRise1963 Having lived in a state that at one point completely ousted both major parties from power for over a decade, installing the Progressive party when the GOP turned against & ousted Teddy Roosevelts Bull Moose wing...even said Progressive Party "radicals" upballot supported FDR over Hoover, Alf Landon, and Wendell Wilkie.

So if theres room for nuance, its in Ranked Choice Voting downballot races & even local/municipal.

But not with POTUS, state governorships or even AGs in 2024.

Toxicology experts say death from medications in Nex Benedict case ‘very, very uncommon

@stopthatgirl7 MORE from me, a psychiatrist:

Unless its a benzo + potent full opioid agonist, or involving a barbiturate (unlikely), It -- fatality -- just doesn't happen usually from med overdose.

What i mean is, rhabdomyolysis, hemolysis from the bullies beating Next could have caused electrolyte perturbations that predisposed Nex to a fatal cardiac arrhythmia with an overdose, BUT the overdose alone?

Never had a patient die ever from an OD to date.

Ive seen thousands of overdoses.

Student debt paid off.

Officially free

hannu_ikonen,
@hannu_ikonen@med-mastodon.com avatar

I didnt pay it off by killing myself. Protestant work ethic had NOTHING to do with it.

Paid it off because the Eugenicism that disabled 4 of my partners who were forced to medically retire and I was flooded with patients.

That is so fucked up and disturbing and I am not okay with it.

Abolish student debt.

Protect workers. aka you know, human beings.

Protect those unable to work.

Be a decent fucking person.

"Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) is a devastating complication of the measles virus.

Although it is a rare complication and the measles virus is preventable with vaccination, healthcare systems may see more cases given the re-emergence of measles in many countries in the last few years."

Again,

🟢 Endless circumvention efforts to get weapons to Israel
🟢 Massive majority House support for forcing the sale of or banning an app
❌️ Cant get weapons to Ukraine
❌️ Cant get food & water reliably into Gaza
❌️ Cant get a single 21st century privacy law on the books
❌️ Cant intervene on trans-genocidal legislature & book banning efforts by states flagrantly violating multiple constitutional amendments

They only care about the oligarchs& donors. Not Gen Z, Gen X, the vulnerable
