Hot tip that I just realized I do when I’m in my yearly MRI but some of you might not know to do.

Them fuckers is LOUD. So fucking loud. They will give you a pair of ‘headphones’ that aren’t electric or metal, but connected to the other room through a plastic tube that they can send both music or their voice through to ask you to stop moving or warn you about things.

This means that you will not be raw dogging that evil sound and if a tech ever tries to make you (tho idk if that’s even possible cause the headphones also serve to hold your head into place in the cage) then kick them in the gnads and run away. That can do some SEVERE damage to your ears and hearing!!!!

So what they do is pump music through the headphones, they’ll typically ask you what you wanna listen to. I go for classic because I’m already stressing over holding still lmao, and it’s not exciting but I find it soothing, ask for what you find most soothing.

Here’s the tip: don’t ask for loud music to cover up the machines. You will literally be doing twice the damage to your ears. Ask for the music to play fairly low. Even if you can still hear the machine, which you will, if you focus on that music your brain will try and filter out the machine sounds to the point where you’re doing less damage to your ears, are less likely to come out with a migraine, and also be more relaxed because your brain is taking the effort to focus on the music, and will relax your body as a response.

Also get a knee pillow. Trust me if you’re gonna be in that tube for an hour, you need something under your knees if you don’t want a backache.

Israel, at an attempt to justify their genocide of every Palestinian in Gaza, claims that they found a shit load of weapons in the MRI room of a hospital.

Hospitals has a bunch of different rooms, but they chose a room where it'd be impossible to store weapons in. Why are they unable to come up with a plausible lie? Like, at all? Y'know what would happen to all of those weapons the second the room is used for MRI scans?

So it's pretty fucking baffling to me that they would choose the MRI room over any other room in the hospital to make the claim that they found all of those weapons.

Israel come up with a plausible lie challenge (IMPOSSIBLE!)

Edit: I didn't even think about the picture where the IDF are walking into the MRI "building" with full military gear and weapons on them without getting crushed to death until just now.

any trans person should get HRT for free (no insurance required) and in exchange they should participate in the occasional study/survey.

research into sex hormones and their effects is so scarce and you have a whole ass population group who's willing to not only switch up their hormones but keep it up for very long periods of time. you could run some incredible long term studies with participants across all sorts of demographics.

while it's impossible to conduct any blind studies on this due to observable change in appearance, there's still so so so much data we're giving up on because we'd rather...

lemme check my notes. that cant be right.

...because we'd rather deny trans people health care and let them die. huh.
