No one chooses their birth. There was no character creation screen to say - yes, I want to be born a white, straight, male in the Midwest US. I’d also like to have #OCD, #BRFBs, etc.

No one chose their race, sex, orientation, first language, etc. and all the obstacles or advantages with that. https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/f3559cdc447fc7d8d21110371ef101a5297ae33839cfd03a24697e96c085162d/469882d5382431dd47f56630c357721b53b9f2cad0cd625016ff7b1f91e8c2cd.webp

Whether it’s #ocd , depression, anxiety, disease, disability, disorder, etc. Or simply humaning these days - it is tough. We are allowed rest. We don’t have to earn it first.

I love this from @xkcd.com https://xkcd.com/882 - I believe in #science 🧪- AND there are many people out there promoting harm because of an outlier study. With 95% confidence that means 5% of the time - one out of twenty - it’s wrong. Look for meta studies / multiple studies of 99.9% confidence! https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/f3559cdc447fc7d8d21110371ef101a5297ae33839cfd03a24697e96c085162d/c382de175b56e7916af30332b631d37962956a26e4d40ac54044148e3cd6d460.webp
