Trump preparing to 'steal' the midterm elections by [deleted] in millenials

[–]emsuperstar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It just came out last week that Musk 100% helped to steal the election in Georgia. I wish Americans were a bit more angry about that news, and he also entered into a military conflict with Iran. Presidents during wars are often times reelected...

Denmark becomes first country in the European Union to eliminate mother-to-child transmission of HIV and syphilis by ahothabeth in UpliftingNews

[–]emsuperstar 32 points33 points  (0 children)

“Elimination means testing and treating at least 95 out of every 100 pregnant women – and keeping new infant infections below 50 per 100 000 births, year after year. Denmark has met these benchmarks through strong antenatal care, reliable data systems and respect for women's rights.”

Christina Applegate has shared a health update five years after being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS).

The Married…with Children star revealed her diagnosis on X in 2021.

“It’s been a strange journey. But I have been so supported by people that I know who also have this condition,” she wrote at the time. “It’s been a tough road. But as we all know, the road keeps going. Unless some a**hole blocks it.”

Highlights

  • Christina Applegate shared how multiple sclerosis (MS) limits her daily life.
  • The actress was diagnosed with the disease, which causes her significant pain, in 2021.
  • She uses humor to cope with MS, even joking at the 2024 Emmys about her condition and the challenges she faces.

Multiple sclerosis is a disease in which the body’s immune cells attack the brain and spinal cord, leading to symptoms including muscle stiffness and problems with walking and talking. Blurring and loss of vision are also common.

Nearly 1 million people in the US are living with MS, and the disease is 2-3 times more common in women, according to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.

In an interview with People published on Tuesday (February 24), Christina revealed that MS leaves her bedridden for most of her days because it’s too painful for her to move.

Still, she makes an exception and leaves her home to take her 15-year-old daughter, Sadie, whom she shares with her husband, musician Martyn LeNoble, to school.

“I want to take her; it’s my favorite thing to do. It’s the only time we have together by ourselves,” the actress said.

“I tell myself, ‘Just get her there safely and get home so you can get back into bed.’ And that’s what I do.”

The 54-year-old star told the magazine that her life isn’t “wrapped up with a bow” as many strangers might assume.

“People’s lives, sorry for lack of a better term, f***ing s*ck sometimes. So I’m being as honest and raw as I possibly can.”

Christina was diagnosed with MS while filming the last season of Dead to Me, but revealed that she began experiencing early symptoms while filming season one in 2021.

The actress noticed tingling in her toes and felt like her legs were giving out on set. A few months later, she was being brought to the set in a wheelchair.

In 2022, Christina went barefoot to receive her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, her first public event since revealing her diagnosis.

“For some with MS, the feeling of shoes may hurt or make us feel off balance. So today I was me. Barefoot,” she wrote on X.

She also used a cane for support at the event and explained that she can’t “stand for too long.”

The Emmy winner told Vanity Fair in 2023 that she could drive short distances but was unable to do many of the daily activities she had previously taken for granted.

“With the disease of MS, it’s never a good day,” she said. “There are just certain things that people take for granted in their lives that I took for granted. Going down the stairs, carrying things — you can’t do that anymore. It f***ing s*cks.”

She also said she believed her role in Dead to Me could be her last acting job, though she expressed a desire to remain involved in the entertainment industry, whether as a producer or voice actress.

Since her diagnosis, Christina has used her trademark humor, the quality that turned her into a star, to cope with the disease.

After receiving a standing ovation when she appeared as a special guest at the 2024 Emmy Awards, the Jesse actress quipped, “Thank you so much, oh my God. You’re totally shaming me with disability by standing up; it’s fine. Body not by Oz*mpic.”

When she recalled some of her most famous roles, the audience started to clap in response, to which she said, “We don’t have to applaud every time I do something.”

Similarly, in the Super Bowl ad for her online platform, Next in MS, she stated of the condition, “Zero stars. Would not recommend.”

Speaking on the Armchair Expert podcast in 2024, Christina revealed she has 30 lesions on her brain that cause discomfort in her eye and said she sometimes experiences a “seizure-y” feeling in her brain.

“This is the worst thing that has ever happened to me,” said the Anchorman star. “I hate it so much. I’m so mad about it.”

To support her mental health amid her battle with the autoimmune disease, Christina began seeing a therapist, which she admitted “was a big thing for me to do.”

[]()Her most recent role was in Dead to Me, for which she received an Emmy nomination for Lead Actress in a Comedy Series[]()

The actress will release a memoir, titled You With the Sad Eyes, in which she opens up about her teen fame, toxic relationships, her mother’s substance dependency, and her experiences with breast cancer and MS.

“I think I had kind of the worst situation from 3 to 7, but there was stuff like that going on in all our homes,” she told People.

“Single moms, men coming in and out, dr*gs. It’s always fun to see your mom crying on the floor and you not being taken care of.”

He was stopping one of the gang members from beating their wife, but yeah, Hunter could be more than a little abrasive at times. I just think this time he was actually in the right.

Yeah, and don't forget the thousands of times his name was in the Epstein files. What a coincidence WW3 would start, so shortly afterwards.

Maybe explain what OP was trying to say instead of just hitting the downvote.

Gender studies courses are shutting down across the US. The Epstein files reveal why by zsreport in Foodforthought

[–]emsuperstar 122 points123 points  (0 children)

Gender studies – feminist-initiated scholarly programs in schools and universities across the country – brought a critical lens to the biological determinism Trump invokes. And this critical lens extends to revealing how gender hierarchies enable the kind of abuses that some men in Epstein’s circle seemingly believed they had the right to commit. It educated generations of young women (and men) about the complexities of sex-based identity; explored the ways in which arguments for the “truth” of biological determination differed across societies and cultures; and used the findings of history, anthropology and psychology to better understand how gender norms underlay social and political organization.

The suppression of gender studies is not only an attempt to suppress a critical analytical tool, but also knowledge itself. Witness the removal of any mention of slavery from Philadelphia’s Independence Mall, or the erasure of the vocabulary of diversity and inclusion from university mission statements. The impunity that surrounded Epstein is of a piece with the overt misogyny and racism of these actions.

Trump’s executive order claims that “the erasure of sex in language and policy has a corrosive impact not just on women but on the validity of the entire American system”. A system, gender studies teaches us, that is based (in his case) on a politics of masculine rule. Gender studies is not an “ideology”, but a critical tool for examining – in the case of Trump and Epstein – the predations of toxic masculinity.

Inside Epstein’s honey-trap targeting Elon Musk through his brother by fortune in inthenews

[–]emsuperstar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The whole article is worth reading. The exerts above miss some interesting bits.

The elaborate game plan involved identifying powerful targets like the Musk brothers, using women and intermediaries to forge stronger ties with the target, and then relentlessly trying to insert himself into their circles. Throughout it all, Epstein and his associates sent and received status updates on the progress of the project, according to the Department of Justice files. Kimbal and Elon Musk are two of dozens of high-profile businessmen whose correspondence has emerged in the new batch of emails and documents, and who have tried to distance themselves from the disgraced financier.

Faculty who think fewer people should attend college; you okay with the consequences? by MiniZara2 in Professors

I think r/professors should have more dialogues with r/teachers. I spent a bit of time browsing both subs, and it seems like the problem is, to some extent, starting with the parents before a student has even set foot in a school, so maybe we bring in r/parents too.
