Speaking Freely: Bell Hooks
Speaking Freely: Bell Hooks YouTube video by Freedom Forum

This 1999 interview of bell hooks on Speaking Freely couldn't be more relevant. She covers love, facism, imperialism and anti-intellecualism in America. Highly recommend giving this a watch.

β€˜A medical miracle’: is period blood β€˜the most overlooked opportunity’ in women’s health? Period blood has long been thought of as β€˜stinky and useless’, but startups are exploring using the fluid to test for a wide range of health conditions – including difficult-to-diagnose endometriosis

it is unique in that it may contain biomarkers that reflect the state of a uterus. It is different from blood drawn from a vein.

I hope to see where this goes.
