You can’t believe how kind the British are. Every morning, a van pulls up outside your house in Coventry. A friendly man brings you a freshly-baked flatbread to eat. It’s just for you,not anyone else in your family. Every afternoon he comes back to make sure you’ve eaten it. 1/ pic.twitter.com/cAOKEGTiw9 — Dr Louise Raw (@LouiseRawAuthor) August 19, 2023ALT

yeah this kind of stuff happened a lot in the 20th century: https://www.nytimes.com/1998/01/01/us/settlement-reached-in-suit-over-radioactive-oatmeal-experiment.html

This is A Huge Ethical Violation for sure but just to be clear, the MRC wasn’t like, throwing chunks of enriched uranium into these flatbreads and doing it for funsies,

https://www.nature.com/articles/1821665b0 according to the abstract of this [roughly] contemporaneous paper, Iron-59 has a half-life of 45 days and Iron-55 has a half-life of 3 years. (The paper is about Iron-52, which has a halflife of just over 8 hours, and so is definitely not the one used here.)

The idea was to track the metabolization of iron in Indian women specifically as they were prone to anemia in Britain, so as to determine if it was a diet issue or a genetics issue. Again, I am not defending experimenting on people without their consent. These people deserve compensation for being used as guinea pigs.

Honestly who gave Wicked the RIGHT to express what's expressed in For Good.

You've changed me and I've changed you. Permanently and inescapably and completely and nearly beyond recognition, certainly beyond being able to undo it or even knowing where to start, where to begin to untangle the twisted threads of our intertwined lives.

Was the change for the better? I'm not sure. The change has been too deep and too complete; i don't know who i am without you.

But i think it was for the better. In any case it was for good.

this song never fucking fails to hit me so hard its also gorgeous
