My adoption is pretty funny (…or as my 11 year old daughter calls it “millennial funny”…🙄🙄) I was sent from South Korea on an American soldiers lap, birth parents wanted me to go to a catholic family and that didn’t happen, married a non practicing catholic guy, who happens to be an American soldier…..who happened to…. It really is a long story. Basically, don’t know my birth parents. My daughter wants to know. I heard the adoption agency closed down, the city I was born in is Busan not Pusan….its a hot mess… maybe a challenge for one of your wonderful writers ❤

Every employment right you have, was fought for by unions. Individually, we're helpless wage-slaves. But together, employers need us, so if we stick together that's our power to use to defend ourselves. Worker's rights are being stolen all over the place. The rich absolutely love this. Did you see Amazon's anti-union videos, they're hilarious! It's only getting worse, and it'll only get better if workers fight back. And as individuals, they're pretty powerless.

Trichloroethylene is used by the gallon for cleaning various aircraft parts. It's pretty nasty stuff but even worse is the Tetraethyllead in aviation gasoline. It absorbs through the skin and your lead levels can skyrocket fairly easily if you come into contact with too much of the stuff. The leaded aviation fuel is supposed to be phased out for an unleaded fuel as was done for cars many years ago, but as with everything in aviation it's an extremely slow process and we probably won't see much of the new fuel until 2030.

Because radiation poisoning was not listed as an industrial disease, the women were in for the fight of their (shortened) lives. Most died without remuneration.

Phosphorus... Radium... It's almost as if things that go on glowing seemingly indefinitely without being powered, recharged or refueled by some external source, are seriously bad news for the human body.

These women remind me of the radium girls from the watch factories where they would lick their brushes to make a sharp point to brush radium onto the minute hands and second hands for the watches, their jaws would fall off😢.

It is worth mentioning that people who suffer from kidney failure risk the same bone deterioration throughout their body if they don't watch their phosphorus. Dark sodas (colas, Dr. Pepper, and the like) often have phosphates added to produce the tang, and those are remarkably bad because of the amount people tend to consume.

A friend I worked with was diagnosed with thyroid cancer about 20 years ago. As he was awaiting thyroidectomy, he mentioned that his doctor asked him what happened to his tonsils. He didn't know, but I pointed out that treatment protocols on the Navajo reservation, where he grew up, lagged behind mainstream protocols. X-ray treatment of tonsillitis would have been standard long after it was discontinued in the White Man's world.

Funny story... I live in the states, I moved from Chicago to little rock Arkansas (which is moving from a city to a rural farm land) and ended o living about 2 blocks away from a military facility that stored white phosphorus in underground bunkers that were built prey ww2... The facility sits next to a river - far eventually connected to the gulf of Mexico - and a chicken processing plant that has their products in literally every single grocery store in this country I know I'm a bit of a conspiracy theorist but that just sounds wrong... needless to say I moved

In 1906, Finland was an autonomous state ruled by the Russian Empire and in that year, was the first European state to offer universal suffrage. After full independence in 1917 this continued. In fact, quite a few women were elected to the parliament in 1907. It's no wonder they were concerned about these kinds of injustices to workers.

So it is as I thought: The necrosis of the jaw sometimes caused by Biphosphonates is Phossy Jaw. Sidenote: Denosunab can also cause necrosis of the jaw. Both medications are given to prevent osteoporosis, for example when women have to take aromatase inhibitors against hormone-sensitive breast cancer (or in case of high risk of developing BC).
