pop health science is so annoying bc it'll be like "did you know? eating strawberries will give you mega cancer" and you're like pfft whatever begone influencer. but sometimes then you'll see a reasonably credible article like "Study Shows Possible Link Between Strawberries and Mega Cancer" and you're not usually the type to follow that kind of thing religiously but idk maybe you should consider not eating strawberries? but then there's another article saying "Strawberry/Mega Cancer Study Debunked" and it turns out the original study had a sample size of 3 and was funded by Big Blueberry, and strawberries may have a small connection to mega cancer but only if you are genetically predisposed to mega cancer and eat 50 strawberries every day. so you return to your strawberry eating life. but whenever you eat strawberries in public someone tells you about the mega cancer.
[The following is a text passage about a social phenomenon. Be sure to read to the end of the post and answer all comprehension questions before moving on to the discussion phase. Remember that you can consult other sources before answering!]
Also sometimes the purpose of a sex scene is to be titillating and that's, like, fine. You wouldn't go out there and argue that movies shouldn't have jokes unless they "serve a narrative purpose" because you understand that generally the purpose of a joke is to make the audience laugh and perhaps release some tension. Being horny is a normal human emotion like being amused or being scared and sometimes media is trying to evoke that particular emotion; the artist doesn't owe you a 30-page double-spaced justification for trying to make you feel something through their art. Your separation of horniness and sex from other emotions and experiences is sex negative and deeply ingrained in cultural conservatism.
Reading Comprehension Questions:
1. What phenomenon or phenomena do you think this post is made to address? Use at least two pieces of evidence to support you position.
2. (BONUS) What phenomenon or phenomena is this post not made to address? Give at least one example.
2. The poster says that "being horny is a normal human emotion." Does something being normal mean that everyone experiences it? Why or why not?
4. The poster says that the purpose of a joke in movies is to "make the audience laugh" and "release some tension." Using this approach to media analysis, what might the "purpose" of a sex scene be, other than advancing the plot?
For the next few questions, refer to the last line of the post.
1. What do you think the poster is referring to here when they use the term "sex negative"? Remember that you can consult other sources before completing your answer.
2. Given your answer to the last question, how does the phenomenon this post is describing contribute to, or feed into, sex negativity?
3. (BONUS) How does sex negativity relate or contribute to the "cultural conservativism" mentioned in the post?

Happy migraine and headache awareness month. This may seem like a minor terminology nitpick, but it’s a serious misconception about migraine: nausea is an actual migraine symptom, not a thing that happens because of the headache. When people with migraine experience nausea during attacks, it’s not because the pain is so bad (the idea that migraine is always excruciatingly painful is also a myth), it’s because migraine causes a lot of symptoms that aren’t pain, including nausea.
This goes for other symptoms as well: although pain can definitely contribute to people’s experiences of these symptoms, fatigue and brain fog are actual migraine symptoms, not just pain symptoms.
This is also your friendly PSA that nausea is not a normal tension headache symptom, if you frequently get nauseous with your headaches, you almost certainly have migraine.
