Only 13% of women have hands large enough to play fast octaves on a standard piano vs 76% of men. Smaller-handed pianists get injured more often & blame their bodies instead of the design. String instruments are made in graduated sizes yet the piano is fixed. news.stanford.edu/stories/2026...

Thinking that we need more of: “In medicine, poverty is often screened for, documented & then ignored as a “social” issue outside the scope of medicine. It becomes a side note in a medical chart. We do not treat it or prevent it w/ the same urgency as we treat infections, diabetes or hypertension.”

The Premier had no problem changing legislation to help out the separatists, but won't lift a finger to help Albertans with the cost-of-living crisis. The UCP government has the opportunity to give Albertans a break, but they'd rather help themselves.

When you say something 100% true that people don’t want to hear, because it makes them feel ashamed for the evil things they have done and will continue to do, instead of changing their mind they just get really, really angry at you for saying the truth. This is why everything is so fucked up.

In 1995, the UN Beijing Declaration recognized gender equality as a human right. While 43 women have led UN agencies, the UN itself has never been led by a woman. There are several qualified women. "It’s time to hand the reins to one of them." www.nature.com/articles/d41...
