Dozens of Saskatchewan teachers have signed a petition against the province’s law which requires parental consent when a student wishes to go by a different name or pronoun in school. But despite the pushback, Premier Scott Moe has no intention of rescinding the law. “This is a policy about when a school will recognize a change in name or pronoun or even gender,” Moe said. “Those are decisions that the parent should be part of before a school ultimately is going to recognize any of those changes.”

"Those are decisions that the parent should be part of"

Gee, I wonder why a kid might not have let their parents in on that decision??????

I'm begging people to not be afraid of OTC pain meds.

OTC pain meds are not a devil’s bargain or a moral failing. They are a tool to reduce unneeded suffering. They do not destroy your organs if taken correctly, and there is no reward for the people who take the fewest pills in life.

Take what helps, and take it safely! If you have prescription meds or other health issues, always check for possible interactions/adverse effects.

@cautionramen I know the answer to that!

So, acetaminophen/ paracetamol/ Tylenol is kinda garbage on its own because it doesn't work directly on the site of pain. Instead, it affects the BRAIN- it temporarily dials down your brains pain receptors. (Your body can heal itself better when it isn't in pain.) (Weirdly, this also means it can cause a temporary drop in feelings of empathy and existential dread, because your brain doesn't really distinguish physical and emotional pain) Because of this, it has fewer side effects than NSAIDs, but is less powerful.

However, it's an amazing buff FOR NSAIDS (and opiods. It gets mixed with a lot of opiods too.) Because it makes your brain chill out, the other meds can work more effectively at a lower dose, which means fewer side effects and lower chance of overdose. (So taking 200mg of Tylenol WITH 200 MG of ibuprofen is safer and more effective than taking 400 of either of them alone.)

That's why Tylenol gets mixed into *everything* (and that's why people need to check med labels, because it's easy to take multiple combo meds with Tylenol at once without realizing what you're doing.)

I've decided to use the term "convenience food" instead of "junk food."

I think it's more honest, and less loaded. It's all food, some of it is more appropriate when you don't have the spoons left for food prep. It takes slightly more energy to peel a banana than to open a bag of chips.

We try to save the convenience food for days when we need something easy, so eat a banana.

ENNH! WRONG ANSWER

All food fuels your body. If it contains calories, it is fuel. Some foods are denser fuels, some foods have nice additional benefits, but all foods fuel you.

Some foods are really good for building muscle, or supporting your bone health, or giving you energy. Some foods are really good at tasting nice. All of them fuel your body.

Good food/bad food is just puritan dichotomous thinking in service of the Shame Industrial Complex- let's get those "should" hooks intob everything you enjoy.

Food is fuel. Your relationship with it is personal. Almost all dichotomies oversimplify beyond utility.

So, I had to do a bunch of therapy as a kid because I had anorexia. My dietician drilled into me "food has no moral value. there's no such thing as Good Food or Bad Food; if it's edible and you're not allergic to it, then it has a use in your diet, even if that use is just 'enjoy eating it'. Enjoyment is part of your diet and happiness is a vital nutrient." Basically, even if ice cream "isn't healthy," if it helps you feel better after a shitty day then it's fulfilling one of your basic needs: happiness. So eat the fucking ice cream and feel better. ENJOYMENT IS PART OF YOUR DIET AND HAPPINESS IS A NUTRIENT

I sat with a crying second grader today. (The age range is outside my wheelhouse but I was the most convenient adult.) He was crying, the other adults said, because his brother took a phone he was playing on. “Phone addicted,” everybody said. “If he would get up and play games with the other kids he wouldn’t be crying.”

He told me everyone lets his brother take things from him because his brother is younger, and doesn’t know better. He told me he doesn’t want to play because he’s tired, he has too many extracurriculars this summer and can’t get good sleep because “everyone in my camper is so loud when I’m trying to sleep.” He’s exhausted and only eight. His mom’s an acquaintance and told me she and the kid’s father are going through a separation — mom and four kids left the house to stay in a camper.

But people will seriously not listen to kids crying over seemingly minor things because on the surface it looks like a tantrum. If kids are given the space to articulate themselves they often will.

“dr. scully the pathologist, death’s best girl, who sees people long after they’re gone. she often is resigned to her own impending death, and grieves the inherent loss in others connecting to her; something that won’t last when you’re bound to leave them. […] she has so little left here. her sister is gone. i think she knows, on some level, what that chip in her neck means. and her worst nightmare is that it would all be for nothing, that she would be in it alone. that mulder wouldn’t be there with her.”
