Steven Smith+FollowMagic Mushrooms & Veteran Depression?A single dose of psilocybin (yep, magic mushrooms) helped veterans with super tough depression feel way better—some for up to a year! In this small study, 80% saw major improvements at 6 months, and 30% were still in remission after a year. The effects faded a bit over time, but depression levels stayed lower than before. Researchers say it’s promising, but bigger studies are needed. Could this be a game-changer for mental health? #MentalHealth #Psilocybin #Veterans #Health10Share
Danielle White+FollowEverest in 7 Days?!

They’re skipping the usual slow acclimatization, flying straight to base camp, and hoping this high-tech shortcut keeps them alive. The mountaineering world is buzzing: is this genius or just plain reckless? Either way, everyone’s watching to see if they pull it off or crash out big time. #Everest #Adventure #Veterans #Mountaineering #Innovation #Spirituality40Share
Rebecca Cowan+FollowVA Staff Exodus? Nurses Sound the AlarmOver 11,000 VA health care workers want out, but hardly any qualify for the sweet separation deals. Nurses are picking up the slack from axed support staff, and they’re worried—less help means less time with patients. The VA’s aiming to slash 15% of its workforce, but says direct care won’t be hit. Nurses say: cutting ‘non-nursing’ roles still puts patients at risk. The vibe? Uncertainty, burnout, and a lot of side-eye at the cuts. #VA #Healthcare #Nurses #WorkforceCuts #Veterans #Health287Share
