One side effect of the COVID-19 vaccine could be a heavier period – The Verge

Katharine Lee got her COVID-19 vaccination early on in the United States’ rollout. So did a friend of hers — they got their shots on the same day. They compared notes, curious to see what the side effects would be. Lee, a research fellow in the Division of Public Health Sciences at Washington University in St. Louis, says that they both had one surprising symptom: they both started their period soon after they took the vaccine. “It wasn’t a symptom that was on the list,” she says. “I expected that my arm would be sore, or that I might have a fever or a headache, but this just wasn’t on the list.” Lee reached out to Kate Clancy, who studies the menstrual cycle at the University of Illinois, to share the observation. When Clancy got her vaccination, she also had an unusual period. ...

Taylor Swift Fans Are Reclaiming The Lyrics To “Change” After The Release Of “Fearless (Taylors Version)” – BuzzFeed News

The rerecorded versions are almost indistinguishable from the originals, meaning we get to stream Fearless guilt-free as if 2008 never ended. Meanwhile, the vault songs are making everyone question why the album wasn't 27 tracks long to begin with. (The fact I've had to live the last 13 years of my life without "Don't You" may actually be a criminal offense.) In a lengthy post on her Tumblr account in June of 2019, Taylor revealed she had asked to buy her master recordings outright, but claimed Scott counter-offered for her to "earn" them back by re-signing with Big Machine and producing six more albums with the label. She ultimately refused, knowing he had plans to sell the label, and made the choice to prioritize her future over her past. But, Taylor sai...
