Phase One of Retirement Completed

Tina Marie (Ms. Cat)2 Comments

I’ve officially stepped back from YouTube. All my videos are now unlisted or private. It’s not a dramatic exit—just a quiet shift. My health hasn’t improved, and I no longer have the energy to sustain both this blog and the channel. The research papers are done, too. That chapter has closed.

There’s one final project I’m still working on. I hope to finish it before I die. It’s not grand, but it matters to me.

I’ll continue blogging here and on my personal site for as long as I’m able. No promises, no schedule—just presence, when I can offer it.

Personal: Some updates

I’m slowly working on a follow-up to my previous post, Down the Rabbit Hole: Preface. It’s almost finished except for the screenshots and videos, which I have more to search for. I think that most of the videos are on my memory cards from my previous Android tablet.

I’m considering retiring this blog when my web hosting service plan expires in April. I’ve been feeling more physically worn out than usual. Posting drains a lot of energy from me. Even reading is exhausting anymore. Damn you, fibromyalgia!

I can barely keep my eyes open, so I’m going to bed early. Have a good night!

In our relentless pursuit to transcend the human suffering, we’ve stumbled into a dangerous oversimplification: an improved mental state reflects the absence or decrease in negative emotional states. This reductionist view has not only cheapened our understanding of the human emotional spectrum but has also paved the way for a troubling linguistic shift.

I am ending my life at a clinic in Switzerland today. This piece was written three weeks ago. I’ve been trapped for decades in a body that doesn’t function the way other bodies do and I am ready to finally be free.

I have multiple chemical sensitivities and fibromyalgia, too, but I’ve never considered “assisted-suicide”. My MCS isn’t as bad as hers was, though. It just seems selfish to me, but that may be because I was brought up in a strict religious household. The biggest problem, here, is that there’s no profit in finding cures.

Tonix will test its monkeypox vaccine in Kenya next year, and no eyes on accelerated path at FDA

The study of Tonix Pharmaceuticals’ live virus vaccine will occur at Kenya Medical Research Institute, or KEMRI, in the East African country, the partners said Thursday. While Kenya has no reported cases of the virus that leads to painful lesions, the country is close to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which had 163 cases as of July 27, according to a CDC tracker.

Tonix has been working on monkeypox and smallpox for close to a decade, Lederman said. The company’s vaccine, dubbed TNX-801, is traced back to a research collaboration with the Department of Cell Biology at the University of Alberta.
