Definitely click through on this story for the quotes from the Third Way spokesperson, who AGREED Democratic candidates should NOT adopt Republican language on trans issues. I was floored - even tried to get Billie to put it in the headline. This is not just analysis, these quotes are news.

If you have to dramatically intervene to save someone from anything, it's probably gonna hurt like hell when you have to step up. Worth it every time, but people gotta know, there is no Glory in just doing the right thing. You just have to do the right thing and hope it doesn't break you.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have discovered a new antibiotic, known as manikomycin, that may be a bulwark in the fight against drug-resistant superbugs. By attacking the ribosome in a never-before-seen way, manikomycin can evade the existing mechanisms pathogens have developed to resist antibiotics.

There's close to a 0% chance that your kid is going to end up competing against a trans athlete in a sport. But six years ago, Republicans decided everybody has to care and by the time Roe fell, it was their new chosen culture war issue.

Made myself a set of little wallet cards with an adapted version of trigger/freakout management exercises from therapy to keep in my various bags and desk drawers so I’m not remembering everything from scratch when I’m in a bad way

Mags’ hand holds five bifold wallet-sized leaflets

1. STIMULUS
What literally, observably happened?

2. STORY
What do I think or fear it means? How strongly do I believe this is true?

Persistent or recurring feelings are usually secondary emotions about the story! Stories stop them from resolving.

3. FEELINGS
What are my emotions?

4. ASK
• Is there evidence for or against this?
• What is the larger situation? What is left out? What is minimized or exaggerated?
• What is the source of this belief? Is it reliable? Does it come from experiences in a different situation?
• Am I confusing the feeling of fear with proof the danger is present? Am I trying to protect myself by mentally acting out how I'd feel if someone hurt me?
• What feelings are about the present?
What feelings are about the past or an imagined future?
Look out for: all-or-nothing thinking, catastrophizing, discounting the positive, mind reading, labeling (I'm a loser, they are unsafe, etc.), blame or self-blame, fixating on proxy issues, wanting to control outcomes

5. REFRAME
How else can I think about this? How much do I believe the first story? How much do I believe the reframed story? How am I feeling now?

Looking Beyond

Past: Is this bringing up old stuff for me?
How can I care for those feelings? Have l felt like this before? How did I get through it? What could I do the same or differently?
Present: How are my physical needs? Are there other stressors right now? What can I do to support myself, in this moment or in the bigger picture of my life?
Future: Is there something I can do to make this situation easier if it comes up again? Is there a hurt or fear I can make a plan to address?

Here’s the most incredible story you’ll read today. A small plane with four people aboard crashes in a field. Another pilot witnesses it. That pilot happens to be flying a bunch of skydivers. They offer to jump to assist, are given permission. The skydivers happen to be EMTs. Everyone survives.

The University of Cincinnati will observe African-American History Month with an evening with Maya Angelou. Angelou is hailed as one of the great voices of contemporary African-American literature. She's a poet, historian, author, actress, playwright, civil-rights activist, producer and director. As a poet, Angelou was among the first African-American women to be
named on the bestseller lists with her autobiography, "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings," published in 1970. In 1993, Angelou became the second poet in U.S. history to have the honor of writing and reciting her original poem, "On the Pulse of Morning," at the inauguration of President Bill Clinton. The occasion led to a Grammy Award for best spoken word.

Great Hall, TUC
The event is free and open to the public. Priority seating will be given to U students, faculty and staff with valid ID.
