my ancestors seeing me shrug off a diarrhea session
People in the notes confused because they're so accustomed to running water they don't know how close diarrhea might have otherwise come to killing them if they've had it even once lol it's killed more humans than just about anything in history
We’re the granddaughters of the bowels you couldn’t irritate
Mine would be baffled that I've gone 5+ years with bloody diarrhea. Inflammatory Bowel Disease has probably always existed, but they didn't have treatment.
I do want to specifically shout out Dr Thomas Latta, who is the person who gave us IV hydration, and pretty much magically cured cholera with it in his first attempt. From his diary:
I attempted to restore the blood to its natural state, by injecting copiously into the larger intestines warm water.. trusting that the power of absorption might not be altogether lost, but by these means I produced, in no case, any permanent benefit.. I at length resolved to throw the fluid immediately into the circulation. In this, having no precedent to direct me, I proceeded with much caution. The first subject of experiment was an aged female. She had apparently reached the last moments of her earthly existence, and now nothing could injure her – indeed, so entirely was she reduced, that I feared I should be unable to get my apparatus ready ere she expired. Having inserted a tube into the basilic vein, cautiously – anxiously, I watched the effects; ounce after ounce was injected, but no visible change was produced. Still persevering, I though she began to breathe less laboriously, soon the sharpened features, and sunken eye, and fallen jaw, pale and cold, bearing the manifest impress of death's signet, began to glow with returning animation; the pulse, which had long ceased, returned to the wrist; at first small and quick, by degrees it became more and more distinct ... and in the short space of half and hour, when six pints had been injected, she expressed in a firm voice that she was free from all uneasiness, actually became jocular, and fancied all she needed was a little sleep.
Diarrhea can very easily be death by dehydration, especially when you can't consume oral fluids (Cholera causes extreme vomiting as well). Not only did we solve part of the problem with clean water, the other half was learning how to put clean water into our bodies (with salt).
Also fun fact, Thomas Latta was active in England at the same time as John Snow, the father of epidemiology, also in response to the Cholera epidemics at the time.
Throughout history, so many people have worked so hard to alleviate human suffering, misery, and death. You will never know the names of all the people who have spent their life’s passion to take care of you, someone divided from them by decades, even centuries, someone whose existence they’d never know, whose name they’d never hear. But they did it, all the same.
I think this is an important thing to keep in mind.

"do you take this person to be your partner, to have and to hold, in good times and bad, in sickness and in health, until death do you part?"
"yes, and..."
Today in “the sentiment is a good one but under the circumstances the punctuation could potentially cause confusion”: just to clarify, the story in question does not, repeat, does not involve a romantic relationship between Sherlock Holmes and HP Lovecraft.
well not with THAT attitude it doesn’t

As [Marlena Fejzo] endured sickening nausea in her second pregnancy, unable to keep any food down and feeling too weak to stand, doctors told Fejzo her illness was all in her head.
In a way, it was… just not how they so callously meant.
Fejzo leads a team of researchers that now, after decades of research, has singled out one hormone which acts on the brain to cause vomiting as the likely cause of morning sickness – and added a stack of new evidence to back up their claims.
Researchers have had their sights set on a particular hormone called GDF15 ever since it was first detected at high levels in the blood serum of pregnant women in 2000.
Since then, twin studies and genomic sequencing studies of people with severe nausea and vomiting in pregnancy have pointed to a genetic component of their illness involving two genes, including the one that encodes GDF15. The lines of evidence were aligning.

Disability Pride month let's not forget about the people in our community with intellectual disabilities!
I just found out about the Stay Up Late campaign to advocate for people with intellectual disabilities to have the right to go out in the evening and not have to be in bed by 8pm
I learned about it from this video:
And I found the website for the campaign which is here:
Let's support all members of our community
Video desc:
Video starts with 2 people introducing the video. An older white gentleman on the left in plain clothes, and an adult white feminine person on the right in a red tank top and glitter makeup and mickie mouse ears. There is a caption that reads "people w/intellectual disabilities cant stay up late because..."
The man on the left says "intellectual disabilities residents cant stay up late because its what our residents prefer" (sorry if this part is a little off i kinda missed it and can't rewind in mobile post editor)
The woman on the right says "our residents??"
And the man says at the same time "our residents?"
The scene cuts and now it's in a kitchen, there is a man in a buisness suit, a man implied to be one of the residents in a hoodie, a woman implied to be a resident in a dress, and a man who is her support worker in orange.
The man in the hoodie says "i think.." and gets cut off by the man in a buisness suit. He puts a finger up to shush the man in the hoodie. He says "its what you prefer"
The man in the hoodie says "ummm" and gets cut off again by the man in the suit who repeats "is what you prefer" but he talks slow and down to the man in the hoodie this time.
The woman in the dress says "it's what i want to do" and slams the table in emphasis.
The man in the buisness suit says "its what you prefer"
The man in orange says "I'm sorry as their support worker can i just-" and is cut off by the man in the buisness suit who says "its what they prefer" and laughs.
The man in the hoodie says "fuck off we're going out" and stands up to walk away
The woman in the dress says "youre ridiculous!" And starts to leave. The man in orange follows her.
The man in the suit says "no excuse me but this is not what you prefer"
The woman in the dress says "give us a break!" From the hallway. The three of them head toward the door and the man in the suit looks down.

So what makes a butcher knife more butch than other knives?
The knife itself isn't necessarily butch. It's named that because it's wielded by a butcher, who is more butch than the other food shop owners
Hmm, I see.
What, then, makes the butcher more butch than other food shop owners?
the knife
can people with harry potter urls just not fucking follow me
