I don't know if threads work well here...
I have a disorder called PMDD (common co-morbidity of ADHD). My PMDD is classed as severe.
For 2 weeks out of every month, my life changes drastically. I get many symptoms, but the main ones are extreme fatigue, brain fog, depression and hopelessness.

Forced #sterilization in the #CzechRepublic
Source: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
Forced sterilisation, a serious violation of human rights, occurred across the former communist bloc, both during and after the socialist period. This #study examines the case of the #Czech Republic, where legislation regarding compensation to the victims of forced sterilisation was only passed in 2021, despite a 2005 finding by the Ombudsman that at least 50 women had been subject to the procedure. My research shows that long-standing discrimination against Roma people and public lack of interest in the issue were largely to blame for this delay.

Almost all non-governmental public organizations involved in the protection of women's rights were dissolved. Thus, the victims of violence in Belarus were left without protection and support. A project for women Girl Power Bel was recognized as an "extremist formation".

Mastodon has delivered excellence with no #algorithms and good #moderation (I've met a few bad mods- it's #decentralized, to be expected. Also some of the best mods I've ever met are here)
But, it has to get a grip on the #replyguy problem
Everyone knows this, #BlackMastodon and #QueerMastodon have been vocal on the issue for a long time
