Happy migraine and headache awareness month. This may seem like a minor terminology nitpick, but it’s a serious misconception about migraine: nausea is an actual migraine symptom, not a thing that happens because of the headache. When people with migraine experience nausea during attacks, it’s not because the pain is so bad (the idea that migraine is always excruciatingly painful is also a myth), it’s because migraine causes a lot of symptoms that aren’t pain, including nausea.

This goes for other symptoms as well: although pain can definitely contribute to people’s experiences of these symptoms, fatigue and brain fog are actual migraine symptoms, not just pain symptoms.

This is also your friendly PSA that nausea is not a normal tension headache symptom, if you frequently get nauseous with your headaches, you almost certainly have migraine.

South Asia is witnessing scorching heat waves, with temperatures in Bangladesh, Pakistan, and India regularly surpassing 110 degrees Fahrenh

starlitbeetle

Excerpts from the article:

In South Asia, heat weaves already claim more than 200,000 lives annually. According to a recent study, as temperature rises, the death toll might exceed 400,000 by 2045. India is at high risk. The study further reveals that over 200,000 deaths are currently attributed to severe temperatures, and this figure may nearly quadruple over the next twenty years. With deaths increasing and governments lacking strategies to protect laborers from dying, vulnerable workers across South Asia are demanding their governments provide heat wave protections.

Ashok Kumar, forty-two, a migrant worker from India’s Bihar state, has been running a barber shop on a footpath with no roof in India’s national capital, New Delhi, where temperatures exceed to 46 degrees Celsius (114.8 degrees Fahrenheit). With no shaded resting area, Kumar spends nine hours a day in a scorching heat to support his family. “Where shall I go? I have to feed my family. The government cannot install air conditioning at the roadside for us. We are dying under the blazing sun. We have no options. If we stop work, our families will die hungry,” Kumar told me. [...]

While knowing risk factors, many migrant laborers are unable to do much more than cover their heads with wet towels. “We saw how the laborer Paswan collapsed and died in India’s Nuh grain market. I can’t forget. I am working in the same market and at the same temperature. Covering my head with a wet towel gives relief. But no guarantee of life,” says Narayan Kumar, forty, a migrant worker. [...]

Anamika Barua, a South Asia–based professor and an expert on climate change and water security, told me that outdoor laborers are among the worst affected, because their livelihoods depend on continuous physical work under direct exposure to extreme heat, often without adequate shade, hydration, cooling facilities, or social protection. [...] She stressed that the poorest communities are most at risk even though they contribute the least to global emissions.

Which is my sage way of saying I am in no danger of forgetting how my husband died. But I choose to remember how he lived.

How is it that you can a music library of like 1,200+ absolute bangers but as soon as you put it on shuffle in a group setting it's like. anime opening you added in 2010. homestuck parody song. musical artist who was cancelled last year for kidnapping and eating children in his basement. Hamilton

I can't believe some people are actually reblogging this like "Tch. Omg, so embarrassing OP, I can't believe you would ever admit to liking Hamilton 😏 " like ok, first of all congratulations for hatching as a fully formed adult in 2022 from the pure white egg of a virgin swan i guess. Raised in a cave on a diet consisting solely of nuts and berries and leftist twitter clapbacks. "ooooooh, I've never had a complicated relationship with a piece of art that was phenomenally well-received at the time but aged like milk as later reflection revealed the fundamental flaws in its premise that were in fact present from its inception but which I didn't notice because I was 17 and hadn't heard of neoliberalism yet" Should we throw a party? Should we invite Anthony Fantano? Anyway second of all. you draw the line at Lin Manuel Miranda but you're fine with basement guy?

also from a musical perspective Hamilton got huge for a reason. the songs do, in fact, Rule

art doesn't stop being well-made because we think through its implications more deeply

urgent help: lias

again, i want to preface this again by saying i don't normally make posts like this, but i want to help make these two poor little souls visible to as many people as i can.

i want to thank everyone for sharing jax's post already. it means a lot.

there is another sweet floof in a very similiar position to jax, whose sad, scared eyes have touched me very deeply.

his name is lias:

like jax, he is located in a state-run kill shelter in minsk.

the tierhilfe belarus (link 1 / link 2) is trying to help find lias, jax and others urgently a new home. otherwise they are euthanised.

if you are located in germany and wish to adopt a cat, please consider lias.

lias is:

male

1-2 years old

timid and shy, but he already allows human touch once he feels safe

cat-friendly

contact: [email protected]

please contact them, let them know you're interested.

once approved for adoption, he will travel directly to germany fully vaccinated, microchipped, neutered, and tested for fiv/felv. there is an adoption fee to help support the costs and the work the volunteers do.

just like with jax, i'm willing to help with the adoption fee if there is true interest in adopting him. i just want to help so they can have a life they deserve.

please share if you cannot help directly.
