💔😭A family took shelter behind a sand dune, fleeing the rain and the bitter cold, believing that this spot would protect them from the harshness of winter; they did not know that this would be their final refuge, and that their journey would not lead to a safe haven, but to heaven.

What agony is this, O Gaza? https://chuffed.org/project/189598-help-haya-complete-her-college-education-and-provide-food-for-her-family #palestine #Gaza #WomensHealth @mutualaid@fedigroups.social @mutualaid@ovo.st#helpgaza

Hi Mastodon! I'm Sheri Goodman Graham, MS, a nutrition and lifestyle coach for women over 45. After nearly 30 years in nutrition, my focus is simple: lose body fat, not muscle.

"...just two years later, the state’s Republican-dominated legislature is asking Missouri voters to overturn the abortion protections they recently supported. The conflicting measures even have the same title: Amendment 3. But while a 'yes' vote in 2024 supported adding protections to the state constitution, a 'no' vote in 2026 would keep them." https://kffhealthnews.org/elections/abortion-state-referenda-2026-november-midterms-roe-dobbs-missouri-nevada/ #healthcare #ReproHealth #ReproJustice #pregnancy #abortion #WomensHealth #elections #missouri #USpol

Finally got around to getting a mammogram. The process was physically uncomfortable, but the technician was cool and let me see the images. And I definitely don't have cancer (at least in this one particular part of my body they looked at), so that's a plus too. #mammogram #womensHealth #preventativeMedicine
