“Scientists at UC Riverside have demonstrated a new, RNA-based vaccine strategy that is effective against any strain of a virus and can be used safely even by babies or the immunocompromised. Their flu vaccine will also likely be delivered in the form of a spray, as many people have an aversion to needles. “Respiratory infections move through the nose, so a spray might be an easier delivery system,” Hai said. Additionally, the researchers say there is little chance of a virus mutating to avoid this vaccination strategy. “Viruses may mutate in regions not targeted by traditional vaccines. However, we are targeting their whole genome with thousands of small RNAs. They cannot escape this,” Hai said. Ultimately, the researchers believe they can ‘cut and paste’ this strategy to make a one-and-done vaccine for any number of viruses. “There are several well-known human pathogens; dengue, SARS, COVID. They all have similar viral functions,” Ding said. “This should be applicable to these viruses in an easy transfer of knowledge.””

Vaccine breakthrough means no more chasing strains

This is HUGE. This will fundamentally change how we get inoculated.

It’s so strange to me when people try to portray butch4femme as a heteronormative dynamic.

Do they not know a butch will cook her femme a three course meal because butches are caretakers?

A femme will stand in front of her butch at the bar, acrylics bared like a lynx, ready to cut the throat of anyone who criticises her partner’s masculinity or questions their right to space.

A butch will spend quiet nights hunched over a laptop learning how to sew and then hunched over her femme’s favourite dress, fixing it as she sleeps?

A femme will take charge and tell her butch to lie down, go and have that shower, go and get that errand done, because she knows what her baby needs?

There is nothing heteronormative about butches and femmes seeing and validating each other in a way the world refuses to. There’s nothing wrong with butches and femmes slow dancing in the speakeasy they’ve created on the kitchen tiles, the only place that’s ever been created for people like them.

From the book Organizing Solutions for People with ADHD:

Putting a coat on the back of a chair by the door is fine, but if you prefer, use coat hooks and a large catch-all basket for dropping keys, hats, gloves.

Small bookcase end-table next to the couch to store craft projects, books, and other things being worked on for easy access.

Add a storage unit near the dining room table to transition between eating and working there.

Daily toiletry items should be stored in a basket that you can move easily

Extra toiletries and medicine cabinet items go in open shelf/basket storage so they can be seen and used easily. If items no longer fit, purge the excess. Don't obscure the view!

If you disrobe in the bathroom, place a tall hamper in there.

Keep a set of cleaning supplies in each bathroom

Edit: I also have this post on budgeting with ADHD + feel free to check my tags, coz I am trying to remember to tag as needed for this stuff. :)

I've had such a cackhanded day. Which is Yorkshire for 'I broke everything I touched and cannot be trusted with anything, not even a small egg' kind of day.

Dropped my bike, lost my end caps, lost my gloves in a shop? Can't remember which one, and then spilt ice cubes everywhere with the glass a mere 1/2 inch away from the bag opening. Mannequin topper fell off in my mannequin, had to pritt stick it back on.

I'm hoping this clumsiness will stop soon, but I know that's a cruel life joke. Anyways.....

1 - Opel Kapitän. “A young lady with curly blonde hair posing with a pre-war Opel Kapitän on a country road. She’s dressed in a short-sleeved white blouse and a dark pleated skirt. The car is equipped with a fender guide and a rod antenna.”

2 - Hanomag Sturm. “A young lady wearing a female suit, veiled hat, and a fox fur neckpiece posing with a six-cylinder Hanomag. There’s a stark contrast berween the elegant lady with the prestigious car and the shabby building in the background. Country of origin: Germany”

3 - Peugeot 201. “Four fashionable ladies enjoying a picnic in the countryside next to an ancient automobile, registered in the French département of Nord. The following words in French are handwritten on reverse: “Pique-nique de Bras Meuse – 10 juillet 1932” (probably: picnic at Bras-sur-Meuse – July 10th, 1932). Country of origin: France”

هل تعرفون قصة "أثواب الانتفاضة"؟ شرعت نساء مخيم قلنديا وقرى الخليل، في صنع "أثواب الانتفاضة" خلال انتفاضة عام 1987، وفي الوقت الذي كان يصادر الاحتلال الأعلام الفلسطينية، ويمنع رفع أي رموز وطنية، بدأت النساء بتطريز العلم والخارطة وغيرها من الرموز على أثوابهن. وحين ارتدت النساء تلك الأثواب، جعلن من أجسادهن سبل مقاومة، فمن يستطيع انتزاع العلم في المظاهرات، لا يستطيع انتزاع الثوب عن أجساد من يرتدينه.

Do you know the story of the 'Intifada Dresses'? 'Intifada Dresses' began to be made by the Palestinian women of Qalandiya camp and the villages of Al-Khalil during the first Intifada in 1987. When Palestinian flags were confiscated in protests against the Israeli occupation, which prevented raising any national symbols, women began to embroider motifs of explicit nationalism onto their thobes. These dresses could not be taken from their bodies, and thus became powerful visual expressions of protest.
