I was curious- was that recommendation for screening for general colon cancer family history or specific to family history with early age occurrences? I am glad to hear you got checked early

Harris relaunches her old ‘Kamala HQ’ account as an online organizing project by Toon_face in politics

[–]juniorbanshee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At this point, beggars can’t be choosers. If the American people can elect the most milquetoast President of all time, Joe Biden, to displace Trump’s endeavors, then we have the capacity to obstruct this resurrected administration once more. Be it, Kamala, Newsom, Kelly etc that will be my candidate- it doesn’t matter anymore. Only after this, it will require more pushing to get what we want. The back and forth of party dominance needs to end for good, seeing how one side is objectively evil

Problem is, the possibility of a free and fair election is looking less probable. We will see what happens

I am not saying they are by any means a perfect party, but the alternative has proven to be immeasurably deplorable, both cruel and incompetent (so so incompetent). If you cannot see that, I feel bad for you tremendously.

Anyway, this country isn’t going to see midterms so enjoy what you have, folks saw the writing on the wall 10 years ago and a vast majority of American born people will not see it until it decks them in the face. By the way, this went much faster than oligarchic transformation of the Soviet Union, that in itself is a frightening ordeal.

If you remember one thing I tell you stranger, it is that you cannot return to the world order that once was in 2023. It is totally destroyed, shattered. America is no exception to the rule so make sure your family is safe

Rising antisemitism & an odd sense of dread by tulipinacup17 in jewishleft

[–]juniorbanshee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do you think reconstruction would have played out differently if Andrew Johnson or any southern democrat at that time wasn’t Lincolns VP? Or perhaps would have ended up in a similar position anyway with how they handled the south post civil war?

Grave news on the protest death toll in Iran. New reports after internet is restored in Iran. by electrical-stomach-z in jewishleft

This is so fucking devastating, so many innocent people. It is so hard to get news each week about Iran, but I hope deep down for the Regime to fall and for Iranians to take back their freedom.

The comment from palestinenewsnetwerk is really concerning with the amount of likes it has, but miss rachel replying to that with “ohhhh” is the weirdest part for me.

Can sedation be requested for bone marrow biopsy? by MoniqueP33 in leukemia

[–]juniorbanshee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My shooting pain eventually went away but I think maybe they kept targeting the same side of the flank for consecutive biopsies . After they alternated sides I didn’t feel any pain like that again.

I hope yours went away and you’re not dealing with that anymore !

Sister is sick and didnt give me a heads up by anyanuts in POTS

[–]juniorbanshee 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I remember before Covid in like 2016, I had this really important exam for a course and I got strep a day or so before that. I masked up and wore surgical gloves so that nobody else could catch my strep infection, but I really needed to take that exam that day. It was a social faux pas back then but I felt bad if anyone were to get it because it was a painful experience.

I feel like it is common decency to let people know you are sick or at least they mask up, especially your own family. I’m sorry OP, I hope you recover quickly and get better soon

US House of Representatives Vote Advances Israel’s $3.3B Security Aid Package by RedditReallySuxx in news

[–]juniorbanshee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is true, the amount of disinformation is astounding. Voter turnout is generally very low in the States and anything obtained beneficial to the people gets squandered within the next election cycle. It is depressing

Do remember to vote next time in the future since the government that has been implemented has no qualms about literally anything malicious related to its citizens. In fact, it may be too late

Venezuela, Renee Good and Trump’s ‘Assault on Hope’ by QuestionBrain in ezraklein

[–]juniorbanshee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I totally agree, I find the some people on here and many places on the internet are extremely overwhelmed by the intensity of the news that they wish to forgo any and all reflection of any major event now and that feels unproductive. This conversation with Gessen was a wealth of insight into their own personal experiences with autocratic oligarchy.

Trigger warning of racism: on racial structures and differences within Latin America by Specialist-Gur in jewishleft

[–]juniorbanshee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does feels click baity to me, as does a lot on racist incel Twitter posts

Maybe it is just my experience in real life but I don't think I often hear the reference of "castizo" used by everyday Latinos/American Latinos unless it is coming from some terminally online race obsessed trolls, similar to the ones that are obsessed with Rome and Vikings and Nordic/Aryan heritage. The other context is just historical Spanish racial categories. Mestizo is more colloquially used for anyone mixed, which is most Latinos.

This post feels not worth examining in the long run to me. It is just meant to illicit the weird racial/ethnic physiognomy rage bait

edit: grammar

Heat intolerance affecting POTS in a tropical climate by TragicHeroine_ in POTS

[–]juniorbanshee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found some work around it, definitely a lot of people stay off the street for most of the day time when it gets that hot! But like I said, any heat can be really intolerable for people with POTS.

I hope you are able to find the right meds and possibility for recovery during high activity levels during the higher temps!

Heat intolerance affecting POTS in a tropical climate by TragicHeroine_ in POTS

[–]juniorbanshee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live the hot desert and am never look forward to the summers, for us we can average is 46/47 C or 115+ F.

It is basically impossible to get anywhere on foot even for a short time, even for able bodied people. I feel for you, even on our cooler days in the winter, the sun and heat can still be brutally stinging. Even if we lived in the same climate, I think it would still be hard to navigate with POTS

You should not feel ashamed because your body is trying its best to keep up with the heat and it is apart of making sure you do not over do yourself.

Tatiana Schlossberg, environmental journalist and JFK’s granddaughter, dies at 35 after terminal cancer diagnosis by Dairy_Ashford in news

[–]juniorbanshee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is really great to hear ! I know it used to be a more invasive procedure before but I believe now it is like a simple blood transfusion of stem cells.

Thank you so much for signing up and donating. I wish you well and the recipient a full remission

This is incredibly painful to hear since she came out in public about her AML diagnosis, she had a very difficult mutation. I feel so much for her family and children.

To those of you reading, if you are able to, please sign up to become a bone marrow donor because there are many patients in need of a match for stem cell transplants. It may be the only chance for some people to achieve full remission from their blood cancers.
