Now is not the time to move. Now is the time to confront this technology and make it unpalatable for any platform to roll out. If we just hop from platform to platform, it doesn't solve the issue, just kicks the can down the road. Eventually, some law or something will make that irrelevant and then we'll all have fragmented across a bajillion platforms, diluting the power of each userbase. The problem is not the platform. The problem is the desire and ability of tech companies to implement invasive and faulty technology to comply with laws that are both actually illegal themselves in a lot of cases (if a higher law conflicts with it, it's a bad law) and also fundamentally undemocratic in disrupting our ability to socialize and, yes, organize if we want to (which is a right that is protected by democratic legal systems). The original author of the Substack is doing an important thing by reminding others that the threat is not gone, I just respectfully disagree with their proposed answer to the problem. Non-solutions based around individual consumer choices are how we've gotten where we are now. We need legislation and, in the meantime (because both together are required), a staunch and steadfast refusal to comply. That means we don't go through the process because "it was quick and easy" and "doesn't really apply to me personally anyway". It means we stick to our guns even when it's been going on for a while and EVEN WHEN IT GETS INCONVENIENT.

The research shows approximately a 3% drop in nutrient density since the 1980s, particularly in carbohydrate heavy crops (like most starchy staple foods), but so many people around the globe depend on those crops for over half their diet that it's very easy for them to fall into malnutrition without access to more expensive shit like enriched products, supplements, and even just fruits and vegetables. Like all the effects of the climate crisis, this impacts those least responsible first.

If you haven’t heard, today PolyCystic Ovarian Syndrome has been renamed to Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome. This change reflects that this is not a reproductive “problem” but a whole body disease.

(Text: PCOS affects an estimated 10-13% of reproductive-aged women. It is estimated that up to 70% of women with PCOS worldwide do not know they have this condition.)

It’s not an official diagnosis yet and more research needs to be done. But acknowledging that it’s a hormonal and metabolic disorder, not solely a problem with ovaries themselves, is a big step.

Reblogs for sample size are appreciated, as I feel like my circle of mutuals would probably fall on the lower end of the scale! :p

Astrology doesn't seem to work.
