"The American Medical Association (AMA) has reaffirmed that gender-affirming care for trans minors, including surgeries, is medically sound—and that access to this life-saving care should not be impeded."

"The anti-trans movement has been building up a sprawling apparatus of anti-trans pseudoscience for years. It’s invested millions of dollars to combat an inconvenient truth: scientific consensus overwhelmingly supports the benefits of gender-affirming care for trans people of all ages."

The American Medical Association is setting the record straight on trans people’s health care—expressing its full support of keeping decisions in the hands of doctors, patients, and their families.

Hey. Greg here. I'm going to brag a little bit. That's my sister, Lauren taking care of things up in PA. We need more of this!

Wellness Vending Machine Now Available

Millersville University has installed a new wellness vending machine designed to provide students with convenient and affordable access to health and wellness products. The vending machine is located in the lower level of the Student Memorial Center in the lounge near the campus Chick-fil-A.

The initiative grew out of a project developed through the President’s Leadership Institute, a 10-month professional development program led by University President Daniel Wubah. The initiative is led by Lauren Blevins, director of health services, and Susan Moyer, interim chair and associate professor in the Wehrheim School of Nursing.

The pair identified a need to improve access to everyday health and wellness items while promoting a stronger culture of well-being on campus.

“The machine’s main purpose is to provide students with convenient access to cost-effective reproductive and healthcare products, especially those that may be needed discreetly, urgently or after-hours,” shares Blevins.

The vending machine offers over-the-counter medications, personal care items and free products including Narcan, pregnancy tests and tampons.

The project is co-sponsored by Millersville University’s Health Services, Wehrheim School of Nursing, Center for Health Education and Promotion and the Pennsylvania State Employee Credit Union. Project funding was provided through a grant from the Jewish Healthcare Foundation as part of its College and University Health Vending grant program. Additional co-sponsors and donors helped to bring the vending machine project to fruition.

In addition to providing products, the machine also serves as an educational tool. Each item is connected to a QR code that directs students to comprehensive support services ranging from on-campus departments to community-based organizations such as the YWCA and Domestic Violence Services.

Student input played a critical role in shaping the initiative. During the Wellness Fair last April, students shared feedback on the types of products they wanted and discussed challenges related to affordability and stigma when purchasing health items in traditional retail settings.

“Our belief is that access and affordability matter,” shares Blevins. “Products are priced slightly above cost, with the modest margins used exclusively to cover operational overhead,” she adds.

The wellness vending machine reflects Millersville’s ongoing commitment to supporting student health by increasing access to resources, encouraging self-care and fostering a more inclusive and supportive campus environment.

"Is not the Sky a father and the Earth a mother, and are not all living things with feet or wings or roots their children?" -Black Elk

I love this quote from Black Elk at the entrance to Weedon Island Preserve. Millennia apart, on the other side of the planet, reiterating the same idea that permeates the Yi Jing.

“The core message of my book is “Do nothing” Dr Jebelli reiterates. Boredom, he says, is vastly underrated by society: “I would argue that true inner self-generated thought is becoming like an endangered species.”

If a neuroscientist told you that it was possible to lower the chances of neurodegenerative disease in later life by kicking back a bit more, wouldn’t it be a no-brainer? Last year, in one fell swoop, Dr Joseph Jebelli, a 40-year-old London-based neuroscientist, did just that. As he published his ...

“Fifty years later, we are celebrating what immigrants have brought to our country and added to the fabric of our country. That mission is still exactly the same,” SPIFFS contributor JoEllen Schilke told Creative Loafing Tampa Bay. “It’s just really sad that we need it just as much as we needed it 50 years ago. You’d think in 50 years, maybe we would have gotten a little bit better.”
