Remembering to breathe – more on the journey

Apr16

Okay for the first time in all the testing we have something besides a normal result unfortunately, it’s a blood test for the antigens produced by some tumours like the ones in pancreatic cancer. It’s not high enough to be a red flag with buzzers and horn alarms but it isn’t normal. The doctor wants to do that one in another 3 months. ( 3 months sounds better than 90 days) I’m still waiting for the results from the arts and crafts project I had to do at work. I hate the waiting.

My doctor says since it isn’t wildly high I shouldn’t worry and he’ll do the test again in 90 days. Meanwhile I’m telling myself to breathe.

Do not trust this site:

http://www.urbookdownload.com One of my author clients just informed me that her book was illegally downloaded by this online company. If you have a book in the marketplace make sure these guys aren’t taking your hard-earned money! If they are, go immediately to your writer’s union/guild/club (e.g. SFWA, RWA, etc.) and they will help you fight this! If you have DRM (Digital Rights Management) then get it working for you. MJ

Neuroplasticity: the gaping logic hole in the transgender house of cards

Apr16

4thWaveNow

One of the key discoveries of neuroscience in the late 20th and early 21st centuries is the extraordinary malleability of the human brain throughout the life span.  Neuroplasticity—the ability of even an adult brain to change firing patterns and regenerate neurons in response to experience—is yet another aspect of settled human knowledge that is being ignored in the rush to diagnose children and adolescents as transgender and in need of medical intervention.

But you don’t even need the latest findings in neuroscience to poke a giant hole in transactivist logic. Long before scientists established that adult brains are so malleable, it has been known that kids’ brains are far more neuroplastic than those of adults. It’s why a child can recover near total function after a brain injury or stroke in a way an adult cannot. It’s why kids become fluent in multiple languages with no “foreign”…
