If you have vision problems and are in #Canada, Fighting Blindness Canada is having a series of in-person Coffee Connections across the country. Each will have an eye doctor who will lead discussions and answer questions about age-related macular degeneration (AMD) or an inherited retinal disease (IRD). It also gives you a chance to meet others with the same eye conditions.
Here are details so you can see if there is one coming up in your area.

🧠 Where was it again? Spatial memories don't just fade; they actively change throughout one's lifetime. According to researchers at #CharitéBerlin, our brain merges memories, knowledge, and experiences.

What happens if you boost a toot from a Mastodon server that has gone offline (perhaps forever)? Does it work as normal, unless you try to visit the original website? Or do weird things break?

Below I will link to the test toot (that is currently unreachable). Next I will boost it.

... Huh. https://depressioneducation.org/mood-spectrum-mood-swings-without-mania/
This makes sense. We don't have one single "mood hormone" or even receptor type in cells, so why would we have one single "correct" mood set? https://depressioneducation.org/depression-section-page-1/the-dsm-rules-for-psych-diagnosis/
... Psychiatryst, lol. That needs to be an ERP game or something. And psychologussy. I should be sorry but I'm so not.

Patient Perspectives on Antithrombotic Therapy in Advanced Cancer

The claim is circulating that antidepressants can cause overheating and dehydration. This is a genuine public health message, but it's not so simple: diuretics, beta blockers, ACE inhibitors, antipsychotics, and some antihistamines may also interact badly with hot weather.
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/15/well/live/heat-weather-medication-safety.html (excerpt in a reply)

There's even doubt about antidepressants having this effect. A recent paper in eClinicalMedicine looked at all the studies they could find and concluded that there wasn't evidence of antidepressants causing overheating in hot weather - though some other medicines do.

"Current evidence supports strong anticholinergics, non-selective beta-blockers, adrenaline, and anti-Parkinson’s agents impairing thermoregulation during heat stress ... physicians should interpret with caution conventional public health messaging related to the thermoregulatory effects of some drugs (e.g., antidepressants) during hot weather."
