- "We’ll make a lot more progress against chronic illness in this century once we decide we actually want to understand what we’re dealing with," I wrote in a 2023 essay titled, "The Viral Frontier." jenka.substack.com/p/the-viral-...
- The connection between viral infection and other apparently unrelated diseases — HPV ➡️ cervical cancer; Epstein-Barr Virus (mono) ➡️ multiple sclerosis (MS); and increasingly looking like herpes zoster (shingles) ➡️ dementia — is probably the most paradigm-shifting medical discovery of my lifetime. 🧪
- Design mentioned
- When ur desperate to be on trend with “shadow networks”.
- Look in the mirror ye mighty and despair.
- Men do this because deep down they have no intrinsic sense of self worth. Because they cannot create life they dont know what their purpose is supposed to be. The oppression of women gives them identity: “provider,“ “protector”.
- 2 Woke. 2 Furious.
- Men seek power to transcend nature. Which is what women's bodies, that created them, are.
- This, truly, is not enough.
- The destruction of childhood is the destruction of the future.
- Running a screenshot of a person speaking on stage in a video ad through Google lens to see if they have any results or if they're AI.

I am thrilled to share a new paper w/ Amalia Bastos, out now in @science.org We provide the first experimental evidence that a nonhuman animal can follow along a pretend scenario & track imaginary objects.

- Reposted by JenkaWhile reporting this, I had something happen that's never happened. A comms rep for one of the co's disputed my reporting and said what I was telling them was untrue because it was not in Grok, xAI's chatbot. I was looking directly at the files. And this person was using AI to challenge the truth.
- Epstein had many known connections to Silicon Valley CEOs, but less known was how he made money from those relationships. We did a deep dive into how he got dealflow in Silicon Valley, giving him shots to invest in Coinbase, Palantir, SpaceX and other companies. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/05/b...
- Reposted by JenkaI’m sorry to say this, but I think it’s true: The answer to Dr Titanji’s question, I believe, is that NO AMOUNT of preventable measles deaths will convince RFK Jr or his physician enablers to drop their opposition to vaccines RFK Jr’s anti-vaxx beliefs are based on conspiracy theories—not data😢
- I just think it's so cute how at home my dog's ears face forward but when we go on a walk the backs rotate towards each other so that the receiver dishes are facing out like )(
- Remember how there was this whole thing about needing to “understand” Trump voters but then it tuns out they just like voting for pedophiles and its pretty simple actually.
- All the dudes complaining (white) women aren't having enough babies being in the Epstein files raises the question: for whom?
- Here we go. I wrote it. jenka.substack.com/p/heated-riv...
- Heated Rivalry shows us that the most transportive, visionary, speculative future isn’t one that looks different from our reality. It’s one that feels different. It’s a difference that we as the audience can feel as if we’ve already lived in that world too.
- Just realized Substack has a feature that will play your posts as an audio. Hearing my words read aloud by a male voice felt literally disgusting. I found how to change the setting to a female voice, but I guess it's not retroactive, so now I'm just stuck with this wretched imposter. Gross.
- What did psychopaths even do before the invention of patriarchy and hierarchically stratified society? Like the Cucuteni–Trypillia culture existed from 5050 to 2950 BC in Southeastern Europe and had almost nonexistent social stratification. How did psychopaths even survive??
- I wonder what taught him that degradation of women would be accepted.
- Reposted by JenkaHi everyone, I wanted to share a research study I just launched on rest, energy, & ME/CFS, open to people with ME/CFS & medical or healthcare providers who are currently practicing or conducting research & have had at least 1 patient or participant with ME/CFS. Visit restandmecfs.com for more.
- Reposted by Jenkaone of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things
