Just a little PSA for all our mental health (and chronic pain*) spoonies out there! A lot of doctors neglect to mention this little side effect, which means a lot of us are suffering extra from the heat without knowing why.

*Many psych meds are used to treat chronic pain as well, if you didn’t know!

By using antibodies from a human donor with a self-induced hyper-immunity to snake venom, scientists have developed the most broadly effective antivenom to date, which is protective against the likes of the black mamba, king cobra, and tiger snakes in mouse trials. Described in the journal Cell, the antivenom combines protective antibodies and a small molecule inhibitor and opens a path toward a universal antiserum.

“Nonviolence is racist. I do not mean to exchange insults, and I use the epithet racist only after careful consideration. Nonviolence is an inherently privileged position in the modern context. Besides the fact that the typical pacifist is quite clearly white and middle class, pacifism as an ideology comes from a privileged context. It ignores that violence is already here; that violence is an unavoidable, structurally integral part of the current social hierarchy; and that it is people of color who are most affected by that violence. Pacifism assumes that white people who grew up in the suburbs with all their basic needs met can counsel oppressed people, many of whom are people of color, to suffer patiently under an inconceivably greater violence, until such time as the Great White Father is swayed by the movement’s demands or the pacifists achieve that legendary ‘critical mass.’”

The announcement of Untold Stories has me looking into the past of Magic's comics a bit more and while I knew that BOOM! had made a lot, I didn't realize they were not canon. Do you know why that is? I'm not familiar with the story they wrote so maybe it did necessitate a separate continuity, but as an outside observer I don't understand why it couldn't have been set in the "main" continuity instead of changing things.

The story they wanted to tell and characters they wanted to use (Marit Lage, robot Niv-Mizzet, taking a more 'comic book' approach) necessitated it. It was also developed during the in-between period where web fiction was back with Studio X but Franchise was still developing outside stories.

Personally, I think outside of the mainline of comics, the specials (Ajani, Nahiri, Noble and Notorious) could all be canon.
