"Your brains stop developing at age 25" was a press misrepresentation of a study. They wanted to see if brains continued to develop after adolescence, so the study was capped at age 25.

A later study with a wider subject pool showed that brains are ALWAYS developing our whole lives.
this is why it's my pet peeve fake science fact. It's absolute bs! nothing happens to brains at age 25, they do not "fully mature". you will notice that many societies have an age of majority or coming-of-age or whatever and none of them have ever chosen mid-20s.
Many people seem to be confused on this point.

The GOP is passing/intro'ing bills banning GAC up to & including the age of 25 on the theory that brains don't fully mature til then.

In public they call them bans on "minor" care.

It's a deliberate GOP strategy to make themselves seem less radical.

Not sure if people know Wakefield was trying to sell a competing measles vaccine when he made up his fraudulent study about the MMR. It was only after that failed (because he is a complete fraud) that he started grifting off opposing all vaccines.

It’s all just a grift. Antivaxxers are their marks.
To do this during the worst measles outbreak in 35 years just after 4 Americans have died is pure psychopathy and tells you exactly where he stands on vaccines 🤬🤬🤬

Aaaand the automated payment we paused until we could figure stuff out went through and left us with £10.

I’m so sorry to ask again, but I sincerely don’t know what to do (apart from ongoing inquiries with bureaucratic agencies).
In a tough spot. We’re doing all we can to get to the next handhold, but my body has decided to act like a petulant expensive child. Things I need (COVID shot, MCAS friendly food) are taking a backseat to visa fees. I know things are hard all over, but so appreciate any help.

Big news: The family of Tierra Walker, who died after she couldn't get an abortion, is suing a slate of Texas actors in state court, including AG Ken Paxton. They say the state ban is unconstitutional.

This is the first suit of its kind.

Tierra Walker died after she couldn’t get an abortion. Her family is suing Ken Paxton
The case, filed Tuesday, argues that Texas’ near-total abortion ban violates the state and U.S. Constitutions, which “prohibit state actors from killing their citizens.”

I wouldn't tell another marginalized group they should vote for a candidate who's accepting Republican framing on an issue, who's using the dog whistles and backsliding for who knows the fuck why. That's incredibly condescending. 10/x

btw Kanye did a song Heil Hitler and no one stepped in to oppose his tour(s), which is ongoing. In fact, Kanye is scheduled to perform at one of the stadiums Macklemore has been stopped from being at.
