#TreatmentResistantDepression: A qualitative content analysis of Tweets about difficult‐to‐treat depression
Abstract Introduction Treatment-resistant depression (TRD) is depression unresponsive to antidepressants and affects 55% of British primary care users with depression. Current evidence is from secondary care, but long referral times mean general practitioners (GPs) manage TRD. Studies show that people with depression use Twitter to form community and document symptoms. However, Twitter remains a largely unexplored space of documented patient experience.
Experiences and meaning of loneliness beyond age and group identity
Abstract Research into loneliness has focussed on subpopulations, and in particular those defined by age, identifying specific contextual factors contributing to their experiences. We suggest that the ‘essence’ of loneliness cannot be fully captured by examining a unitary group and argue for broader and diverse sampling to better understand how loneliness is experienced.

The structural basis for high affinity binding of α1-acid glycoprotein to the potent anti-tumour compound UCN-01
Abstract The α1-acid glycoprotein (AGP) is an abundant blood plasma protein with important immunomodulatory functions coupled to endogenous and exogenous ligand binding properties. Its affinity for many drug-like structures, however, means AGP can have a significant effect on the pharmokinetics and pharmacodynamics of numerous small molecule therapeutics.

The truth about Sugar Rush host Hunter March
By Sara Ryan/May 19, 2020 2:27 pm EDT It's a funny feeling to realize you've watched someone on Netflix for hours, and you know nothing about their life, or how they got to be on your television in the first place. Hunter March is the host of the hit baking competition show Sugar Rush on Netflix but he — like every other person on earth — has a life outside of work, and it's certainly not a boring one.
Brevity: A Journal of Concise Literary Nonfiction
Across 1. The color I dye my hair. The color of nitrile rubber gloves. Three bowls of thick dye, painted onto my scalp until it burns. My hair grows and pools around my shoulders, over my breasts. This is how I own the ocean. 3. The outline of an area or figure. It is hard to imagine what something once looked like after years of it being beaten into place. Carved out of wood. Leather belts worn to soft. Pushed and pulled and ready-made: my unforgiving body. 5. Red liquid.

On July 4th 2013, Connor Sparrowhawk, also known as Laughing Boy or LB, was found dead in a specialist NHS unit. Connor, who had autism and epilepsy, had a seizure while in the bath and no member of staff was on hand to stop him from drowning. An entirely preventable death. Sara Ryan presents a frank, sometimes funny and touching account of her son's early life and preventable death and the unfolding #JusticeforLB campaign.
Liminal still? Unmothering disabled children
Points of interest Ten years ago, we wrote a paper about being non-disabled parents of disabled children and how we felt that we did not fit in – we were not ‘proper’ mothers or ‘proper’ disability activists. In this article, we look back on mother advocacy over the last ten years in England. We think that activism has brought about limited change. We think we need to change the way we do activism.

i would protest gasoline if i wasn’t always driving away. i’d protest oil pumps plunging in and out of the earth—their sledgehammer shadows dipping into night. but i drive my car anyway—i burn fuel. my tires groan against pavement. away from texas, into new mexico, oklahoma, across every thirsty desert and endless plateau. the first photo on the wikipedia page for “petroleum” is a “pumpjack pumping an oil well near lubbock, texas.” petroleum is both yellow and black. hot sun and darkness.

Welcome to a list of 100 must-read LGBTQIA YA books! Yes, these are all must-reads, and no, this is definitely NOT all the queer YA books that exist. For transparency’s sake, on this list there are: 32 books with lesbian characters, 33 books with bisexual+ characters, 30 with gay characters, 17 with trans characters, 5 with intersex characters, and 4 with asexual characters (yes, I know that doesn’t add up to 100 because some of the books have more than one LGBTQIA character in them!).

This article was first posted by Labor Notes. Election night 2016 was bittersweet for me.

Kaine and Pence spar over running mates during vice-presidential debate

Hot (Queer) Summer Nights: LGBTQA YA Books Set at Summer Camp
Summer camps have always been fascinating to me as someone who never really got to experience them. In my mind, they’re these magical places where all the rules are different, you make friends for life, every day is full of adventure, and, if you think you might be queer, the best opportunity to test that out. There’s nothing like putting teens in a traditionally gender-segregated environment away from home to encourage queer exploration, am I right?
Six ‘biases’ against patients and carers in evidence-based medicine
Evidence generated by clinical research will depend on who asks the questions, who defines the outcome measures, who interprets the findings, and who disseminates the outputs. In the past few years, many research funders have encouraged patient input to each of these steps [15]. However, it will be decades before this laudable stance achieves the necessary change in the knowledge base so that it truly reflects patients’ priorities and needs.
