Lawsuits against Ozempic have begun. Side effects cited: stomach paralysis, pancreatic cancer, blindness.

The weight loss quick fix is running into problems.

Always reminded me of amphetamines back in the 70s. Olestra in the 90s.

Be careful. Not everyone gets hurt, but is the potential damage worth it?

Just a reminder…natural and safe are not interchangeable

Learn how your body works…a little lesson

The Glitoris (2017) by Sydney artist Alli Sebastian Wolf, who created a scale model of a cl****is in order to raise awareness about the intricacies of female genitalia...

The Glitoris depicts not just the tip above the surface but the 5-12 cm's of interconnected muscle, nerves and erectile tissue beneath the skin.

A giant sparkling 100:1 scale anatomical model of a cl****is
- one of the most misunderstood parts of the human body.

With it comes performances from The Clitorati, costumed ambassadors for the c**t who carry the sculpture, using dance and audience engagement to educate about the cl****is.

A cl****is is like an iceberg

Mostly invisible below the surface, wrapping around the vaginal tunnel and extending out towards the thighs. “The part that we’re seeing and feeling is just this tiny little g***s that creates the head of the cl****is,” says Wolf. “From there, all this fabulous magical stuff is happening beneath the surface.”

There are more than 8,000 nerve endings in the tip of the cl****is alone

That’s double the number of those in a p***s. A cl****is is made up of 18 distinct parts – a mixture of erectile tissue, muscle and nerves. “All those little pieces are working together to create the amazing sensations that anyone with a cl****is feels when they’re having or**sms.” The actual vaginal tunnel has almost no sensation at all – giving birth through something as sensitive as a cl****is would be “excruciating”, says Wolf.

They can swell as much as 300 per cent when engorged

Clitorises range from 7-12 cm in length and swell by 50 per cent to 300 per cent when engorged when aroused. It’s not “a zero to 100 situation”, says Wolf, but as you draw closer to or**sm, it increases in size.

When at rest, the “arms”, or corpora cavernosa, of the cl****is’ body extend straight out towards your thighs. When you’re aroused, they curl around “and give your internal body a little bit of a hug”.

G-**ot and penetrative or**sms are c**toral

Both stimulate internal parts of the cl****is. “You can come from these different places that are all using the cl****is but using it in different ways,” says Wolf. Understanding has been frustrated by historical heteronormative studies of the female anatomy that assumed stimulation by a p***s was necessary to or**sm; Wolf blames Freud.

It was only in 2009 that a small team of French researchers carried out the first sonographic mapping of an erect cl****is, even though the technology to do so had existed for years.

Was just chatting about this at coffee this morning!

How lovely

Hospitals in the UK and Australia have begun offering cuddle beds to families with terminally ill loved ones, allowing them to stay close during their final moments. These beds allow family members to lie beside their loved ones, sharing comfort, closeness, and peace. This simple but powerful gesture provides a sense of serenity during an otherwise difficult time.

The introduction of cuddle beds challenges us to rethink what it means to provide care and comfort. Rather than focusing solely on medical treatments, this initiative offers emotional support by fostering connection during the most trying moments of life. It acknowledges that the emotional bond between family members is just as important as physical care.

This new approach to end-of-life care also demonstrates how humanity and compassion can guide even the most difficult decisions. It shows the power of shared moments and the profound impact they can have on both the patient and their loved ones. 🛏️❤️

Put a little magic and mystery into your life…

Yesterday I took most of my crystal collection, cleaned it with salt and rue and arranged it in a protection grid.

Not sage, but palo santo to cleanse the air in each room. Spring vibes.

If you don’t talk to random animals then we probably don’t click.

And the moon…just love the moon.

You bet I’m a TEN!

And you? What’s your magic?

Big love 💕

And all is well…

It's so easy to jump on the misery bandwagon. Choosing to sleep in peace, wake in joy starts with putting our attention on the good stuff.
