me to my coworkers: when you request time off, you should not give the assistant dept head any additional info on why you're requesting it, it's none of her business and may be used against you

me requesting time off after my requests keep getting denied/overlooked the past few months: telling kelly explicitly that this one is an oncology appointment bc i want her to feel bad :)

I'm not saying DID isn't bad or downplaying the severity, but stop calling it a rare disease.

I knew there wasn't a whole lot of research into transgender healthcare but like. there is really not a lot of research.

The funniest thing I wholeheartedly believe is that I have a neurodivergency not catergorizable or diagnosable as any currently recognized disorder. (disorder emphaized because heavily impairing functioning is generally a requirement of the clinical definition and a condition of diagnosis, and although i'm vexed i still Get By Just Fine)

because like yes those probably exist; there's no way psychiatry is in its final form now and there are definitely levels of neuro-difference that don't qualify as disorders, but like. that's so random and it's kinda pretentious to make such a bold claim about yourself. like oh u wanna be special, huh? 🙄 just be AuDHD like everyone else (<- joking)

you: now im wondering if they also detach the nipples in that surgery

me, an idiot, picturing doctors going around just popping nipples off and sitting them to the side for a surgery, like a decorative brooch, maybe swapping them out for different, fancier nipples when sticking them back on: :O

I mean they do not "pop them off" but with the double incision mastectomy that is most commonly performed they detach the nipples reshape them (to make them smaller), and can put them in different position if you want. you can also get no nipples after this surgery

now I'm also learning about about other types of top surgery and with buttonhole technique you can keep the feeling in your nipped :O it leaves small amount of breast tissue so you don't have completely flat chest after tho

Obesity-Cancer Link

A person carrying a mutation in either of the tumour suppressor proteins BRCA1 or BRCA2 is at increased risk of developing breast cancer. So too are people with obesity and diabetes. But whether obesity could exacerbate the risk in people with BRCA mutations was unknown. Recent research suggests that indeed metabolic and genetic risk can be cumulative. The image shows nuclei (blue) of milk duct cells from a person with a BRCA mutation with evidence of DNA damage shown in red. A study of such cells revealed the extent of DNA damage in BRCA mutation carriers positively correlated with body mass index. And blocking obesity related hormone signals in these cells could lessen such damage. The new findings suggest that while maintaining a low body weight is no guarantee of preventing breast cancer, addressing lifestyle, diet and metabolic health may be especially important for people already at increased genetic risk.
