New study: Your mitochondria 🧬might be why depression leaves you drained.
In those with depression, cells produced too much energy at rest - but struggled when demand increased. This could explain the fatigue 🥱that comes with depression.

NEW: The F.D.A. refused to accept an application from Moderna for its mRNA flu vaccine.
Its reason: The agency did not think Moderna compared the new vaccine to one of the best flu shots available. The company spent $750M+ on a 41,000 person study.

Black text on a yellow background - This is Alice's friend Sandy Ho, posting. Per Alice's wishes, this message is being shared at the time of her passing. Hi everyone, it looks like I ran out of time. I have so many dreams that I wanted to fulfill and plans to create new stories for you. There are a few in progress that might come to fruition in a few years if things work out. I did not ever imagine I would live to this age and end up a writer, editor, activist, and more. As a kid riddled with insecurity and internalized ableism, I could not see a path forward. It was thanks to friendships and some great teachers who believed in me that I was able to fight my way out of miserable situations into a place where I finally felt comfortable in my skin. We need more stories about us and our culture. You all, we all, deserve the everything and more in such a hostile, ableist environment. Our wisdom is incisive and unflinching. I'm honored to be your ancestor and believe disabled oracles like us will light the way to the future. Don't let the bastards grind you down. I love you all.
“Don’t let the bastards grind you down. I love you all.”
New pub-Pts w/ active IBD may report higher internalized stigma (IS), which may impact IBD disclosure. Higher levels of discrimination seen in females/SGM/BIPOC. IBD disclosure may mediate discrimination and IS. Speaks to need for #gastropsych @ibddoctor.bsky.social academic.oup.com/ecco-jcc/art...

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.
We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.
We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.
So many folks aren't aware their health insurance premiums are about to double if Congress doesn't act. This is what the Dems are fighting for and the Republicans are refusing to work with them, shutting down the government instead of helping people afford health insurance. Please call your reps!
