In the running for dumbest "opinion" ever:

USA TODAY Opinion@usatodayopinion.usatoday.com · 2d ago

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

This is the WORST year for my local CSA to shut down 😭

Susan@naurielsjh.bsky.social · yesterday

It’s not safe to eat anything anymore.. I literally had one from Publix for dinner tonight. Just something quick and easy for when I was eating alone. Great.. just great!

I'm excited to share that I'm launching an autoimmune support group, called The Autoimmune Circle! It's open to anyone living with an autoimmune or auto-inflammatory condition. We're meeting virtually for the first time this Wednesday, at 7pm ET. I hope to see you there!

Another day in the neurodivergent life 😆

Thing Person Saying Seems To Call For Sad Face

Absolutely devastating. Although healthcare is not accessible to way too many Americans (even one is too many), at the same time it feels more important than ever to be an in-network provider (even tho we need a better system) Most of my patients pay $0 to see me, thanks to the Affordable Care Act

More Perfect Union@moreperfectunion.bsky.social · last mo.

More than half of Americans say they can't afford healthcare. For the 1st time the majority of Americans told Gallup healthcare has become unaffordable to them. Over the last year 3 million more people fell into being unable to afford access to quality care or pay for visits and prescriptions.

Happy Juneteenth! A reminder of how far our country has come, and where we still need to improve ⤵️

Another reminder that Indigenous peoples protect some of this planet's greatest wild areas & food sources. I grew up eating wild rice & have always cherished its delicious flavor + texture. Wishing the Menominee Tribe much success, so everyone can enjoy much more manōmaeh for many years to come!

UAINE@mahtowin1.bsky.social · 2mo ago

More than a century after wild rice largely disappeared from their lakes, the Menominee Tribe is using new methods to bring the sacred wild rice back. www.circleofblue.org/2026/agricul...

🤣🤣🤣 Friendly reminders: ✔️ All foods can fit into a balanced way of eating ✔️ Some foods are meant to be consumed for pure enjoyment, not their nutrition content. ✔️ Trying to eat perfectly is a) not possible and b) a key symptom of an eating disorder called orthorexia

Albert Burneko@albertburneko.bsky.social · 2mo ago

this will be devastating to all the people who naively ate Cheetos for their nutritional properties

Love this article. Great info, plus I've always got a sweet spot for folks that recommend dietitians 🥲

Kelly@broadwaybabyto.bsky.social · 2y ago

MCAS and Histamine: Diet isn’t the Only Answer Often people think of MCAS as only impacting histamine. They adopt a restrictive low histamine diet - but don’t improve. This article explains why that is and explores other lifestyle modifications and tips to reduce flare ups: /9

Seeing this pattern play out repeatedly with my patients 😔 Avoiding COVID still matters - mask up whenever you can! COVID is linked to new onset autoimmune + autoinflammatory diseases. Reminder: even masking irregularly or not always still helps protect you + others!

Kelly@broadwaybabyto.bsky.social · 2y ago

If you’re dealing with Long Covid - there’s a chance you’re also dealing with MCAS and/or POTS/Dysautonomia. They’re two of the most common comorbids - and can have a devastating impact on quality of life. New allergies? Alcohol intolerance? Dizziness? Fatigue? Fainting? A mega 🧵 of resources

Health Department Closes Perfectly Good Burrito Place https://theonion.com/health-department-closes-perfectly-good-burrito-place-1819569200/

There are parts of Brooklyn where the best Jewish style deli food is at halal restaurants owned and operated by Yemeni Muslim immigrants who learned how to make wonderfully authentic brisket, pastrami, and corned beef. It's so perfectly New York and sums up so much of what's great about this city.

I don't own any Knicks apparel (yet), but I will wear a shirt that clearly explains the conclusion I jump to every single time a professional basketball player does something uncoordinated.

I prefer "tree blood" over "sugar water," but the point stands.

Ken Jennings@kenjennings.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Maple syrup is amazing because it’s just a socially acceptable way to drench a full plate of food in sugar water. Outstanding work Canada.

Reducing infections helps to prevent new autoimmune diagnoses ➡️ “When you dig into the literature, you see that every major pandemic is accompanied by a long-version, chronic illness that follows... Many viral pathogens are capable of triggering these chronic diseases after infection.”

4. Ask them if it sounded tasty to them in the moment, because wanting it is a valid reason for eating frozen or processed foods too

tiredsleepy⭐️🍒@tiredsleepyzzz.bsky.social · 2mo ago

before judging someone for eating frozen or processed food you must: 1. ensure they are able-bodied 2. find out if they have a functional kitchen + safe living space 3. realize that you will never be entitled to any of this information so you must, in fact, never judge others’ food choices🫶🌈💗

Lands managed without formal government backing are quietly outperforming some of the world's most protected nature reserves, and the reason why challenges what conservation science thought it knew.

Indigenous Lands Protect Wildlife Better Than Many Government Parks, Research Says

New research analyzing 111 conservation studies found that Indigenous lands could be used as a model for conservation efforts elsewhere.

If there is ONE thing you do for your autoimmune disease: Please take vitamin D. Probably 1000-2000 IUs per day. Why? Because research shows it can significantly reduce your risk of getting ANOTHER autoimmune disease.

Running theory: society encourages women to abuse themselves until autoimmune disease develops. "I used to equate strength with endurance. My identity was wrapped up in pushing through exhaustion & discomfort, remaining productive no matter the cost. But endurance is not the same thing as health."

It’s me, Maggie@margaretmilton.bsky.social · 2mo ago

apple.news/APCli2-7zTcO... Having experienced my own struggles with an autoimmune disease since age 11, this really hit home…

If I had a dollar for every person I've met who lives with neurodivergence, autoimmune disease, and an eating disorder, I could retire. This pattern is so common - the medical community needs to start recognizing these major intersections!

GothThick🖤 ($330.69/$1540)@goththick.bsky.social · 2mo ago

GT Fact: I'm Autistic and ADHD who struggles with OCD, RSD, BPD, autoimmune diseases (psoriasis & IBS) and a chronic disease PMOS (formally known as PCOS). I'm disabled and I also have an ED that I hate talking about, because it took me years to be taken seriously, why? Because I'm fat.

I have 99 problems and chronic illness is literally all of them.

As someone who *accidentally* drank raw camel's milk in Morocco and is still fighting off waves of IBS 8 months later... please do NOT drink raw milk!!

Carina@jetset.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Saw a raw milk cooler at my health food store. I asked the cashier if people buy it. She said Yes. I said Yikes. She whispered “I don’t trust it.” “You shouldn’t!!” I said. “It’s why we have a waiver before you buy it.” Sure enough, there’s a QR on the cooler. Anyway, don’t drink raw milk, friends!

I've noticed how much I’ve aged in the past 5 years and I am really hoping that adding chia seeds to my yogurt can turn this whole thing around.

If you had to choose between eating tacos every day or being skinny would you choose hard or soft shell tacos.

Working with men with psoriasis be like: Yes, you do need to use lotion. Yes, every day. 💚

Case in point: Medicare sucks. Sure, it's better than nothing. And actually probably better than a lot of employee insurance plans. Doesn't mean it doesn't suck, though.

Ashton Pittman@ashtonpittman.bsky.social · 3mo ago

My mom suffers from daily migraines. She finally found something that seems to help... and it's $500 a month... for 6 doses... with Medicare. What even is this country?

Why are good homemade salads so elusive?? 😭

Michelle@michelleroy78.bsky.social · 3mo ago

One of my biggest obstacles is that I only like salads when they’re made by other people and cost $16.

Yes, MedicAID for all! Medicare is not close to a good insurance plan, it just seems like it because the majority of the other options are even more awful.

Birdie, Beginning@srslymagenta.bsky.social · 3mo ago

Tomorrow is my Oldest's 25th birthday. You know what that means, when you're a mom of an adult "kid" with medical issues? Slight panic because there's only a year left of being on their dad's insurance before they're legally dropped. Iykyk We need Medicaid for all in the US.

I'll never forget the year I used quercetin as an all-natural antihistamine. Not only does it work great, but my psoriatic arthritis pain simply disappeared! There is research demonstrating this same effect in rheumatoid arthritis. Best allergy season ever 🥲

PBS News@pbsnews.org · 3mo ago

Allergy season can be miserable for tens of millions of Americans when trees, grass, and other pollens cause runny noses, itchy eyes, coughing and sneezing. Here are some tips from experts to keep allergy symptoms at bay. https://to.pbs.org/4t3gc4x
