It’s PharmPhriday 💊 🩺 🧪 🛟 Early 1700s: An enslaved man (given name Onesimus) explained to Cotton Mather (his owner) how he was inoculated against smallpox. After verifying and learning more, Mather tried to spread the word through Mass (wildly unpopular). The procedure was tested in 1721 and worked!

Regular reminder that SSRIs block receptors to help keep serotonin in the places where it works the best It does NOT make you serotonin Stop calling it “serotonin in a bottle” bc that shit is misleading

If you have to judge someone because they are different from you then understanding and truth clearly aren't your thing

We went up to Ohio (from FL) to visit my parents. They usually come to us but Mom had to have a hip replacement so we went to them.

Everyone shouts at you to get therapy, but they forget that material conditions matter, too. I have no way to do that without fundraising.

Those who say “language doesn’t matter” has truly never been in a position where language mattered People changing the way to speak to do better for others aren’t doing it for those people, they are doing it for the people it DOES matter to

For those who don’t know what neurotransmitters are, they are hormones made in the body that produce various effects depending on where they are located Mostly we talk abt serotonin, norepinephrine & dopamine when talking abt the nervous system (but other play small roles too)

What they do is keep the neurotransmitter(s) where we need them to be to produce the effect most like they work regularly Communicating clearly what they actually do is beyond important

On “the other place”, I share medication info, as a pharmacist, I am able to break it down to make it more understandable! Reminder: Medications like SSRIs or SNRIs do NOT give you more of the neurotransmitter(s)

🌸 Compression Gloves 🌸 Compression gloves are meant to compress the hands. They help with hand pain and swelling. They are NOT guaranteed to give support to your wrist. If you need wrist support. You should get a wrist brace or some other type of support.

If someone tells you you are being ableist or stigmatizing, maybe…just maybe, before you write them off bc you wouldn’t possibly be those things You stop, take in the info & learn from it! These things aren’t personal & if someone takes the time, try to gain something from it

“Don’t u realize what I do for a living” Yes, which is why ur ableist & stigmatizing behavior is even more concerning Why do people think just bc they work w/those who are disabled or neurodivergent or have MI, their biases disappear If u ignore implicit biases, they get worse

i do not want a genocide of palestinians. i can condemn the ever loving heck out of hamas (and i do and if you know me then you know i am in immense pain and grief over the murder of 1,400 jews) and still say i don't want a genocide of palestinians. this is not complicated.

i am no longer up for debating whether palestinians deserve to live. the answer is an emphatic yes, palestinians deserve to live with dignity and freedom. nothing will ever justify a genocide. killing more than 7,000 civilians who belong to a distinct ethnic group in less than a month is a genocide.
