Screw Alzheimer’s.

I volunteer at Alzheimer “Day care” sometimes. Once I woman I know was there and we talked a long time. (I didn’t really know her, but knew her daughter, who she was currently living with.)
During our talk she said she never had any kids. And that just really hit me for some reason. I know her daughter. I know she read her a million bedtime stories, and put her tiny socks on when she was a baby, and had a thousand mother-daughter talks, and that just like for most moms, her child was the most important thing in the world to her. And she didn’t even remember she ever existed.
Yes, we all get sick, we all have to suffer, we all have to die, but a disease that goes back in time and takes away the live you had when you were healthy, who steals your children from you, extremely fuck that.

Mother cat walks through flames 5 times to save kittens from building fire in Brooklyn, NY

On March 30, 1996, Scarlett and her five kittens were in an abandoned garage allegedly used as a crack house in Brooklyn when a fire started from undetermined causes. The New York City Fire Department responded to a call about the fire and quickly extinguished it. When the fire was under control, one of the firefighters on the scene, David Giannelli, noticed Scarlett carrying her kittens away from the garage one by one. Scarlett herself had been severely burned in the process of pulling her kittens from the fire. Her eyes were blistered shut, her ears and paws burned, and her coat highly singed. The majority of her facial hair had been burnt away. After saving the kittens she was seen to touch each of her kittens with her nose to ensure they were all there and alive, as the blisters on her eyes kept her from being able to see them, and then she collapsed unconscious.

Schizophrenia Mask Test

Schizophrenia sufferers aren’t fooled by an optical illusion known as the “hollow mask” that the rest of us fall for because connections between the sensory and conceptual areas of their brains might be on the fritz.
In the hollow mask illusion, viewers perceive a concave face (like the back side of a hollow mask) as a normal convex face. The illusion exploits our brain’s strategy for making sense of the visual world: uniting what it actually sees — known as bottom-up processing — with what it expects to see based on prior experience — known as top-down processing.
“Our top-down processing holds memories, like stock models,” explains Danai Dima of Hannover Medical University, in Germany, co-author of a study in NeuroImage. “All the models in our head have a face coming out, so whenever we see a face, of course if has to come out.”
This powerful expectation overrides visual cues, like shadows and depth information, that indicate anything to the contrary.
But patients with schizophrenia are undeterred by implausibility: They see the hollow face for what it is. About seven out of 1000 Americans suffer from the disease, which is characterized by hallucinations, delusions, and poor planning.
