#Preconception
An archetype I have a huge fondness for is the eccentric, smart, capable, confident woman. A Miss Frizzle type, recklessly immersing herself in her passions, wearing her quirks proudly, and inspiring others to challenge preconception and embrace what they love with pride and confidence.

In The Rock 11/10/1975: Patti Smith releases ‘Horses’. Equal parts rock, poetry, avant-guard art and punk, Smith and her band break every preconception and create a classic. #PattiSmith #RockHonorRoll

my dysfunctional family where all eyes are clouded by terror and preconception that still manages to break their cycles (their fates, even) and achieve hope and understanding and acceptance...

Something people miss - especially on the limited words website - is that every topic has nuance. We can agree that nuance is built in, but i do feel stating things absolutely with a willingness to offend peoples preconception is a core part of being an artist. The fiction is for the nuance.

Thanks for noticing! I remember I had no preconception of what I wanted it to be, but that magenta sealed the deal.

Heavy. Good.

I had a mercifully brief preconception that this would be about the agony of being pitied. I was wrong.

In 1,146 women, 17.1% were MG-seropositive; MG alone wasn’t linked to outcomes. MG+CT (27.6% of MG+) was linked to lower live birth (RR 0.82, 95% CI 0.70–0.96).
Preconception Mycoplasma genitalium Seropositivity and Risk of Impaired Fecundity
Mycoplasma genitalium (MG) is an emerging sexually transmitted infection (STI) associated with pelvic inflammatory disease. Its relationship with impaired fecundity remains unclear and is rarely examined in the context of co-seropositivity with other STIs.MethodsWe conducted a secondary analysis of the Effects of Aspirin in Gestation and Reproduction (EAGeR) trial, a prospective preconception cohort of women with proven fecundity and prior pregnancy loss. MG serostatus was determined using Western blot–based IgG assays on 1146 stored serum specimens. Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) and other STIs were also measured. Associations between MG seropositivity and measures of impaired fecundity were assessed.Pregnancy loss and live birth were modeled using inverse-probability weighted quasi-Poisson and unweighted log-binomial models to calculate relative risks (RR). Fecundability-odds-ratio (FOR) was estimated using a discrete Cox proportional hazards model accounting for left truncation and right censoring. Propensity score (PS) weighted versions of these models assessed risks associated with CT co-seropositivity. Analyses were adjusted for demographic and reproductive history variables.ResultsOverall, 17.1% (n=210) of participants were MG seropositive, with 27.6% (n=58) co-seropositive with CT. Compared to STI-seronegative women, MG seropositivity was not associated with any outcome, although trends were observed for reduced fecundability (FORadj: 0.87, 95% CI 0.70-1.08) and live birth (RRadj: 0.94, 95% CI 0.79-1.11). Co-seropositivity with CT was associated with lower likelihood of live birth [RRPS-weighted: 0.82, 95% CI: 0.70-0.96]. Sensitivity analyses supported the robustness of these findings.ConclusionsBeing co-seropositive for MG and CT preconception was associated with impaired fecundity.

Together, we are working towards ensuring that all children in the UK eat well from the start of life (preconception to age five), to reduce levels of overweight/ obesity & dental decay 👏

No it's not. It's Avengers but with tanks. The part that makes it a tough sell is the same thing that hurt MOTU. Audience preconception, call it Ninjas Vs Mechs and no one bats an eye.
The GI Joes has always been a tough sell. McBride might be able to pull off a fun movie but I can’t see that franchise doing well overseas post Trump.

Because I'm pretty sure conservative economists won't be. I'm pretty sure they don't believe in most of the social sciences, so why would they reference them? Pretty sure there's a lot of cherry-picking, preconception consolidating, and hand-waving.

Yes. When I boil it all down, the biggest hurdle I face when talking about MENA with my liberal+ friends is that ultimately they think the anti-Israel side is the side of the underdog,victim and peace. I try to tell them it is the opposite in various ways, but it's a tough preconception to change.

It does seem that in the cultural anglosphere relationships are often expected to be more of a pvp game you "win" or "lose", instead of a co-op where both invest emotionally in the other's well-being since it results in growth for all involved. Language plays a big role in this preconception.

handfasted to what undoes preconception
this ellipse is more than three dots
three buttons frees what tons
a spry salt circle scry
revised records can more than leverage belief
i tuck pieces of my journey as i traverse climbs and dives
acorn a feeling time as seasons in the Autumn of my Life...

A preconception cleanse is a topic many people explore when preparing for conception, but it is important to choose a safe, evidence-informed approach rather than relying on detox products or restrictive diets.

Both paternal and maternal nutrition status matter!

🧪In Annals of Internal Medicine, a large study in China finds that periconception maternal and paternal vitamin B12 and postconception maternal RBC folate were associated with lower predicted prevalence of birth defects: https://ow.ly/ZNS45104EZq

I feel there is a preconception here of how big you want to go but one thing for sure is that tons and tons of people look for non-äi stuff, art is not dead

(an old friend got to be a poet, another one a jewellery maker, tattooist, I see indie games niche musicians small comic artists all the time)

Hmm je me demande à la suite de quoi le gouvernement de l'union de la gauche a bien pu faire passer les 35h ? Est-ce que c'est en profitant de l'élan de la plus grosse mobilisation de la décennie ? Naaaon ça doit pas jouer le moins du monde sinon ça validerait pas ma preconception
