If anyone is interested in learning more about the contemporary Indigenous world, my wife runs an excellent weekly email digest that focuses on First Nations, Inuit and Métis (IE primarily Canadian) topics. See: https://makook.c

Is this open to Indigenous (i.e. Native American, First Nations, Inuit, Métis, etc) founders?

Also, shameless plug here, my wife and I are working on an Indigenous-centric social news project called Makook. We're about about a month from launching a beta, but we're sending out a weekly news digest that covers trending Ind

The standard tests didn't get it. I actually discovered it when I just totally gave up (at this point I'd been to doctor for numerous blood tests - especially for mono). I cook a lot, and have always eaten fairly well. I just go

Allergies are awful. Throughout my twenties I "suffered" what I thought was chronic fatigue syndrome, only to discover later this year it was actually just an Allium allergy (Onions, Garlic etc). I'd estimate that this was
