During a uterine biopsy, with no anesthetic and no pain meds on board, I was literally screaming and sobbing in pain: “I’m sorry but it’s not that bad and it’s almost over. You will get through this.” <I passed out>

“When was your last Pap?” “5 years ago.” “You haven’t had a Pap smear in 5 YEARS?!” “I no longer have a cervix. Total hysterectomy in 2021.” “That’s… not in your history…” “Check the SURGICAL HISTORY.” “Oh yeah! And you had LASIK!!!!👁️👄👁️”

“I have situational anxiety on planes.” “You need an SSRI.” “I have tried 3 SSRIs that made me suicidal. I think a more acute solution for anxiety that could be use *short-term while I’m on airplanes* would be best.” “Let’s try a different SSRI!”

Despite retaining my ovaries during my hysterectomy, they still peaced out, and I went into menopause at age 37. This episode of @ologies.bsky.social (and the two subsequent episodes) should be required listening FOR ALL HUMANS. Menopause truly is The First Death. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/o...

2025 was a @stephenking.bsky.social kind of year. I read all of these last year (some re-reads: The Institute, The Long Walk, Nightmares & Dreamscapes). They’re stacked in no particular order, except for “Insomnia”, which is my favorite King book to date. #insomnia #stephenking

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans. 🧵 1 of 9

'Vacations.' The word is 'vacations.'

FAST COMPANY Article: 

While retirement typically occurs, after
completing a career and saving and investing for it, a new trend is emerging among Gen Z career professionals
called "micro-retirement." Micro-

Gen Z is using micro-retirement to avoid burnout, find greater fulfillment in their work, and enhance their overall well-being. However, it's not just Gen-Z:
