A social media thread post by Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation (@OKWildlifeDept) reads, "Listen, bear spray DOES NOT work like bug spray. We would like to not have to say that again.". A user named Kelly MacFarlane replies, "Bear spray is bad. How can I get close enough to the bears to give them cookies if I'm wearing bear repellant spray?". The Oklahoma Department of Wildlife C... account responds, "Kelly, it is not even 9am on a Monday morning.".

A Tumblr thread featuring a post by failchild reads, "vampires have been drinking human blood for centuries they don't give a fuck about guys on eight different antidepressants. they were sucking on asbestos factory workers". User sadpearonmars replies, "The absolutely hilarity of imagining some older vampires hectoring younger ones. 'Back in my day, I had to drink blood with radium in it and I liked it! We glowed in the damn dark for weeks!'".

A side-by-side image comparison. On the left is a HuffPost article banner with bold text reading, "Joe Rogan Calls Trump Fans 'Fking Nuts' And Says He's Been 'Left-Wing My Whole Life'". On the right is a red book cover artwork featuring the quote, "ONE DAY, EVERYONE WILL HAVE ALWAYS BEEN AGAINST THIS" by Omar El Akkad.

If trump pulls some stunt to over-turn the midterms, y’all better be out on the streets ready to protest this administration and remove them from office or it’s all over. We can’t sit this one out. This is the fork in the road of our great country (or once great country). You choose by VOTING.

screenshot of a tweet from Lori Gottlieb (@lorigottlieb_author). The tweet reads exactly:

“Other people have it worse” has never once made anyone feel better.
It just teaches you to feel guilty for hurting.
Your pain doesn't need to win a contest to be real.

The post text reads verbatim:
"I apologized to the Moon and she said don't worry about it. Elon's rocket was so small she could barely feel it.
Then we laughed, she's so funny."

At 39 I went to my doctor with fatigue and was told it was perimenopause and to "live with it." I knew it wasn't peri (I'm a fertility doctor), eventually, I was diagnosed with celiac disease.

Perimenopause is not an excuse to avoid evaluating symptoms in women in their 30s/40s.
