This is true of so, so, so many things. You can try a game of saying, “hey, what would be true if both my experience and this fact that feels opposite of my experience were true at the same time”. I think it is really useful. You don’t have live in that space but its okay to play in it.

I think of it that there are two types of importance. The importance of me being me and what I need. And the importance of me being a part of things and impacting others and my world in small ways just by being there and present

I assume you're looking for human genetics not microbial so I can only help with a repost 😔

I can’t believe I have to make this statement but here it is:

There are experts who believe in BOTH modern vaccines and medicines AND traditional plant medicine/ natural remedies.

And we dont really conjure the media or capture audiences like the extremists do. 👀

A US Navy aircraft carrier in the Red Sea fight just lost a third Super Hornet. The $60 million jet went overboard on landing. The F/A-18 tried landing on the USS Harry S. Truman but went overboard after the arrestment failed, a defense official said.

Anyone seen writing that thinks about fossil fuels as a kind of time travel?

Fictional or scholarly.

"This was like trying to fix a microwave by hugging it" 🤣

Putting this on my wishlist...

Thank you for your service!

All of this. Public Radio affiliates are often the only thing on the dial in the rural U.S. that isn’t right-wing talk radio or Christian proselytizing (is there a difference these days ha hah ugh) and they do so much good, necessary reporting, even if they don’t get everything right

Well, I mean, we haven't gotten her to stop watching Fox when FiL puts it on, but I did get her to go to Harshbarger's office once to at least ask about what's going on so IDK - at a minimum, she can't say that she wasn't told!

Agree! One of the first things that got through was showing my MiL the proposed Medicaid cuts. As a scientist, I'm very fact heavy, but there's data that presenting opposing facts only solidifies the existing position - so then I get overwhelmed & don't know where to start lol
