On the way to work this morning - I read an article in the New Yorker about menopause, and learned a few things that I didn't know. Rare that - considering how much I've read about menopause over the years.
Menopause is having a moment
( history of the hormone estrogen - how it was discovered and turned into a treatment dating back to the 1920s )
I didn't know that about estrogen. And I'm somewhat relieved its no longer coming from the urine of pregnant horses that were apparently farmed just for estrogen. On the other hand? After they stopped the production (due to fears of breast cancer) - they no longer had a use for the farmed horses and slaughtered them. Dear God, humans can be horrible. Poor horses. Okay at least, I think it is no longer coming from pregnant horses, does make me happy I'm not on estrogen.
Also, apparently estrogen doesn't necessarily cause breast cancer like everyone thought...or at least not in everyone.
( excerpt )
I tried it once - it gave me anxiety attacks. And was afraid to try it again. ( Read more... )
I've begun subscribing to the New Yorker and New York Magazine, also AP News Wire. I'm keeping an eye on what's happening, and trying not to doom scroll Facebook, or the others. Good news? I have followed a lot of positive sites on FB, so it's not all doom and gloom.
Today was frustrating. ( whine whine whine and more whine )
Oh, Buffy the Vampire Slayer Series is leaving Hulu in 11 days. I'm annoyed. Where is it going? (Apparently it hasn't been confirmed - it just says it on Hulu.)
ETA:Yes, you can stream Buffy the Vampire Slayer on Paramount+. You can also stream it on Disney+ and Hulu.
Where else can you watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer?
Fandango at Home, Tubi, DIRECTV, Sling TV, Prime Video, and Apple TV.
Some you have to pay for - AppleTV - you have to pay for it. Same with Sling. But I think it is free on Paramount +, Prime, and Tubi, also Disney + in certain regions.
