Space Needle, different perspective

I’ve been reading an American history book from the 1800s.

Some really interesting things in there I’ve never heard.

The British were actively using information warfare to foment resentment between European Immigrants, and Native Tribes. Before the war of 1812, the general sentiments toward the Native culture was respectful. But the British helped to foment, fund, and arm some radical “kill all the white people” leaders. (Just like the U.S. did recently in Ukraine funding and arming Nazi movements). Some of the things that went down during the war of 1812 with the Tecumseh confederacy shifted the general sentiment as the rumors of Natives siding with and fighting for the British circulated. This change in sentiment was exploited by expansionists 30 years later in passing the Indian Appropriations act.

YK what would be a killer #nostr app? A marketplace. FB marketplace ate craigslist for lunch. Meta is basically universally reviled, yet people have to use marketplace because it's where everybody is. Make a killer marketplace app and people will flock to it. Oh, this app has lightning zaps integrated into it for payment? Wow that's super convenient. Let me try this #bitcoin stuff.

i have an industrial pass and a general ticket… i could sell either one, i just want to get rid of one 🥲

To those at the dev/hack/day Nostr talks in the Prague East stage earlier today, I swear I'm not a shitcoiner. 😅

PLEASE someone buy this 🥲

oo i see. it’s okay!

howeverrrr, as someone that comes from méxico and still has family in méxico, a female president doesn’t seem as much of a promise since méxico is essentially ran by the cártel (the mexican mafias). you should look into the 38 politicians killed during the election.

besides the struggle to find stable, good-paying jobs, méxico is facing a security crisis. oh, also check out feminicides.

i’m not staying the united states is better (as a mexican living in america, i want to move out lol), but it definitely looks nicer when violent organized crime is taking over.

(i also don’t know what biden is doing bc eh, idc, but definitely, definitely, definitely, a female president doesn’t feel like much of a hope).

With #Mexico’s new PM why would anyone want to go to America? Why is Biden going so hard on the border?

I'm reposting this, because I see it in Primal, but not when logging with Amethyst.

This is whats missing from current menopause discussions

There is a lot going on now on the menopause health world, with the reinterpretation of the WHI (Women Health Initiative) study, from 2002 and now in 2024, it's gone from HRT increases risk of breast cancer to the other polarity: all women should have access to menopause therapy, its safe, and all women should be able to have this conversation about risks and benefits with their provider. Having that conversation can be life changing/life saving for many.

But in the name of access to care, come a lot of narratives about women's bodies that are important to deconstruct.

First, the idea that a magic pill can replenish our needs and take care of all our symptoms. The symptoms of menopause are symptoms of a systemic depletion of women's bodies, something that has developed over time and there is no magic pill that can fix that. You can replenish biochemistry, but the toll that it has taken on your body, your emotions and mental health, that is irreplaceable. And yes, many women report feeling better: they are able to sleep, go to work, but still the narrative is that “my body is broken, and I can fix it with this magic pill” and that's where I see the disconnect.

Dr. Lara Briden refers to the work of endocrinologist Jerilynn Prior: Menopause is not a failure of the body or the ovaries, but a neuroendocrine transition that is completely detached from aging. Menopause is a brain overhaul to become more efficient to tend to our physiological needs in the second half of life. So, it's not about the failure of our bodies because we are aging, it is about our body’s ability to transform and to tend to our physiological needs. From now on, the focus is not the energy intensive process of reproduction, instead is brain, bone, cardiovascular health, and metabolism.

Neuroscientist Dr. Lisa Mosconi, who studies women's brain in menopause explains that the menopausal brain is smaller and less energy demanding, because it doesn't need to tend to this energy intensive process of reproduction. Instead, the focus shifts to other body systems: our nervous system, brain, cardio health and that's why menopause is a window of opportunity. That is why many women fall off the cliff in menopause; It's not because of aging, it's because they have been stressed, undernourished and overstretched for the whole reproductive period, and now when they enter menopause, that depletion makes they more vulnerable to symptoms.

Is like when you are rebuilding your house, but you didn't tend to your house for 30 years, and when you start remodeling, you find that the electric cables were damaged, the water piping breaks, it's not because of the remodeling. It's because it wasn’t maintained for 30 years.

Would love to hear your reflections and if this resonates or if I'm completely alone in this train of thought.

One Burrito, One Choice.

Multiple Tacos, Multiple Choices.

It's Taco Tuesday.

Let's stack sats and taste tacos.

wait... I wasn't connected to any relays. Were people not able to see my posts? o_O

the value of our voice lies in expressing it authentically.

we use truth to pursue freedom and peace, not lies for attention and approval.

how important is the protocol through which we express our voice? who controls how it is heard and seen?

nostr represents authenticity, truth, freedom, and peace. big tech embodies deceitfulness, lies, imprisoned attention seeking, and violence.
