Name a health condition you don’t want and there’s a study linking it to loneliness. Diabetes. Obesity. Alzheimer’s. Heart disease. Cancer. One study found that in terms of damage to your health, loneliness was the equivalent of smoking 15 cigarettes a day. ... More people live alone today than at any point in human history. In the United States, 27 percent of households are single-person. In 1970, that number was 17 percent. For older Americans, those numbers are even higher. Nearly a third of people above the age of 65 live alone. By age 86, the percentage has jumped to half ... People are comfortable saying they’re depressed. But they’re not comfortable saying they’re lonely, because you’re the kid sitting alone in the cafeteria.

The CDC’s and Other Government Health Agencies Skewer the Chronically Ill, Chronic Pain and Disabled Population; A Commentary on The Latest “Guidelines” From The CDC:
(please refer to webinar)
If you don't want to watch this whopping eight minute video about government ran agencies talking about how to run our health care services for those with chronic pain, chronic illness or disabilities. Or, if you have watched it but don't really know what it means, then I will just tell you what this about and what it means. Most of this is in response to taking away or banning in many instances, the use of certain medications used to treat chronic illnesses and chronic pain that has left people disabled. They are admitting the pull out of opioids/opiates as well as their attacks on other medications such as Benzodiazepines, ADHD medications and in some states they have gone as far to reclassify muscle relaxers and Gabapentinoids as scheduled 2 narcotics. The fall out from this has left many chronic pain patients, chronically ill and disabled people without ANY health care, greater mortality rate, higher rate of homelessness, less functionality, poorer quality of life and many doctors that were not pill mills but still locked up in prison for the rest of their lives for running pain treatment centers in rural areas. They also bring up that, curiously, even though opioid/opiate prescribing is lower then it has ever been in US history, they are seeing a steep incline of illicit use of opiates amongst the adolescent demographic, to which they have never seen before. They do not understand this because young folks who have "muscle skeletal" pain are usually prescribed NSAID's or acetaminophen; they just can't figure out why the rate of illicit opiates in this demographic is higher then it has ever been when they are not even being exposed to prescription opiates. That's it they end that issue just sort of scratching their heads. According to their data if some one has not been exposed to prescription opioids/opiates these children shouldn't be doing this. According to their data NSAID's and Tylenol should be efficient enough pain relief for any and all types of muscle skeletal chronic pain conditions. I won't put words in their mouth or give you my opinion on why that is, even though my opinion would be based on some very good data, medical studies and other types of studies that have been conducted over the years. I will say that I think I shouldn't have to give anyone that opinion because I think the answer is obvious; keep in mind these kids are too young to have ever been exposed to opioids/opiate medications or crooked marketing strategies by Perdu. They go on to promote something called "healthy people by 2030" which is a government health based website that advocates for many healthy life practices and choices. One of those things is making sure that the chiropractic's industry stays open for customers, not for free at a charge, to make sure they are accommodating the needs of chronic pain patients. I am not sure why this is said and done because chiropractic treatment has been available and continues to be. They go onto say those with loved ones, friends and family that are chronic pain patients; empathy and sympathy is what is needed most. "Many times chronic pain sufferers will try to pretend they are not in pain. If this is your loved one or a friend or family member, make sure to have plenty of empathy and sympathy. Also pay attention to their body language, if they are rubbing the part of their body that is in pain or making facial expressions it's important to remind them not to over work themselves. That they need to take time to sit and rest; we need to get society to where we are stopping chronic pain at it roots". So what that means is that they expect everyone in society, employers, family, friends, loved ones, complete strangers the entirety of the health community to accommodate any all with chronic pain conditions (disability is not specified just chronic pain period). This is their answer, and the CDC is endorsing this, on how to treat chronic pain, chronic illness and disabilities in the absence of effective treatment (effective treatment being used currently is not discussed but current effective treatment implies without the use of opioid/opiate medications). Ok, so this is really confusing if you have not been keeping up with this stuff so let me fill you in on what this means in a deeper sense. As a person who has chronic pain, chronic illness or a disability. What you are supposed to do is make sure you are regularly attending physical therapy (cost estimate as much as $3,000 a session and as low as $45 for a "wellness" checkup that is only 30 min standard session is 1 hour fees vary depending on insurance, what company or if no insurance at all). Typically they recommend physical therapy once a week or every other week; although many primary and family care physicians understand once a month to be more practical for low or lack of income individuals (the CDC and Medicare almost demand once a week). You are also supposed to attend a gym and have an active membership. You are to seek a psychologist for cognitive behavioral therapy or psycho therapy to deal and manage your pain (costs on this can very widely as well as much as $200 a session). You are to see a psychiatrist to make sure your psychiatric needs are met with medications for mood management. You are also supposed to attend "mindfulness training" once a week; which is a fancy name for meditation. You are also supposed to attend either (and this is the only one they give options on) a chiropractor or get acupuncture done once a week. You are to follow up with your primary or family care physician to stay compliant on your meds (NSAID's, Tylenol, muscle relaxers, and then usually one of the following sometimes combined with one other thing but usually one; Tricyclic, SSRI, SNRI, anti-psychotic or anti-depressant that plays with neuro-nucleotides like Cymbalta, Amitriptyline, Nortriptyline, Effexor, Haldol as some examples, Steroids or Gabapentenoids such as Gabapentin or Pregabalin aka Lyrica). You are also supposed to see a pain management specialist at least once every other week (per CDC) for trigger point injections and nerve blocks or ESI's aka epidural injections (these can cost in a wide range as much as $5,000 for one injection the lowest I have personally seen is $2,000 for one injection to which some report as little as 4 hours of pain relief some injections patients report only 4 days of pain relief we are told these are supposed to relieve pain for as long as several months but really this is dependent on what pain condition you have and what is causing it and what type of injection is received for the injection). On top of all that they want to make sure that as a chronic pain patient, chronically ill or disabled to make sure to keep up with your social life by spending quality time with friends, family and loved ones. To make sure you are financially secure with either a job or disability/retirement benefits for those who apply (job is emphasized over over social programs). Lastly, to make sure you are eating healthy and getting between 8 to 10 hours of sleep a night (this is all per CDC and other government health agencies including CSMS for those whom are on retirement benefits). Now where were we, so essentially they want the entire society to let any one with chronic pain or illness or disabled to be allowed to go at their own pace. Allow for late appointments. Take breaks and rest as needed and avoid doing anything that causes or exacerbates chronic pain or illness and disabilities in the first place. They are not doing this as a policy they are doing this as a guideline so no company, corporation, business or any personnel is held to this by any legal measure. Once again I could insert my own take on this based on pretty solid evidence, but I think this is unnecessary as it should be obvious what the outcome of this will actually look like. I'll just ask this simple question; do you see an employer doing any of this for a customer or employee? Do you see all these different health care agencies accommodating to all their patients being late due to being slow and thus not punctual for this menagerie of different health care specialties the government health agencies want us to attend? The CDC seriously pushes for all, not just a couple, but all listed health specialties; and the other government health care agencies agree without question. They go on to talk about how they think the reason doctors feel so pressure by the CDC, DOJ and DEA in the helping of managing chronic pain or illness and disabilities is nothing more then they have not attended any of the CDC's seminar's; which are being updated for the fourth time in this single year. They say that doctors need to take time to understand and have deep conversations to understand their patients needs. That doctors need to be there for patients when in need of social rehabilitation and assistance such as obtaining a case worker, social worker or disability (which if you've been in this situation you know they will not do due to health insurance regulations, government interference, regulation or policy enforced by the company they work for or affiliated hospital, shortage on doctors due to covid and arresting so many for prescribing meds, health practices and administrations that run health offices running on a profit based model that basically demands that each patient visit only be 15 minutes to maximize the number of patients seen in one hour and legal issues in which many expert witnesses, colleges and other entities have sued doctors over the prospect of money which results in the termination of their job and license). Nope, none of that, it's all because they did not attend the CDC seminars that are continuously out of date and currently being "updated again" to ensure that doctors are staying compliant with the guidelines that are an unreasonable expectation at best and consistently changing. As one of the panelists says "after all these are not policies they are guidelines, and if no one knows how to work within those guidelines because they haven't taken the seminars they won't know how to implement them. We are really struggling with this one because when we passed the opiate prescribing guidelines for 2022 they were very strict and many states independently adopted these guidelines into law and policy that are different from state to state, but pretty much all do the same thing. We never intended them to be laws and policies but merely guidelines. When we released the 2023 opiate prescribing guidelines, we went back to the less strict guidelines resembling that of the 2016 opiate prescribing guidelines where the MME count was at 90MME instead of 50MME...we have seen no change in state accordance". These people act like our social safety nets are as accessible as over the counter Ibuprofen, when in fact they almost as accessible as the opioids/opiates they sought out to completely ban and obliterate out of our society regardless of the consequences is has had on health care providers and the chronic pain or illness and disabled people they were used to give back quality of life, pain relief and functionality. Andrew Klodney (one of the chief panel members that created the 2016 opiate prescribing guidelines) said "an entire generation needs to die in order for people to see my greatness". I don't think he meant to quote Hitler, but that is something Hitler did say; astonishingly Hitler also took opiate pain meds away from the chronically ill or in pain and disabled. Hitler also promoted "euthanasia" as a "humane and ethical way of helping those suffering to die with dignity". It wasn't until later many people found out he wasn't just euthanizing people who were in end of life care (or lack there of due to no opiates given to the general public, and only administered to his inner circle), as a humane and ethical way of dying with dignity; he was just killing anyone who had any kind of chronic pain, chronic illness, disability and that includes mental disabilities as well. Back on topic, the fact of the matter is our social safety nets, social rehabilitative services (SRS) like the SSA , food stamps, financial assistance and on have been slowly having their funding cut and certain facets of it being privatized over the years. The past ten years we have seen the most cuts and privatization of these programs then any other time in US history since their inception by FDR. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) has not only been red taped but it is out dated. One of the reasons why you may have had your disability case denied is because the judge that decides on your case confirms the local job market with a job coach or vocational rehab specialist. The judge looks at your limitations and asks "based on this persons limitations, education and experience are their jobs in the local area this person can do and how likely is it that they can get one of these jobs?". The career specialist is financially incentivized to find a reason to deny a disability case for one. Two they do have to go off of what the current job market economy looks like, they only have to go off what it looked like since the ADA was last updated which was back in the 90's. This career specialist is absolutely reciting jobs that no longer exist and haven't existed since the late 90's or early 2000's and completely ignore the fact that things like pre covid door greeters are a thing of the past. They ignore the fact that job codes and other nifty legal loop hole language in job applications specifically designed to get around the ADA exist. They completely ignore that a vast majority of the republican party representatives have deregulated capitalism to the point of crony capitalism in the name of free market capitalism (give the employer the freedom to hire who they want and decide for themselves what is or is not a "reasonable accommodation"). This is so much to the point of government protections, I spoke with a disability discrimination attorney who said "the big corporations have got so much government protection and have been deregulated to the point I cannot even do my job. Many disability discrimination lawyers have changed their title or quit. There is no certainty or guarantee that anyone can hold a company accountable for disability discrimination anymore". To top all that off there are many company owned health care facilities, although this is not federally or state mandatory, have created policies where they are no longer taking private payers; people without health insurance. Some states are requiring each person who is disabled to reapply for disability every year, some states require that a person cannot be on disability for more then five years regardless of their disability statis. The state of Pennsylvania, to my understanding, has moved the retirement age up to 66 and the District of Columbia to age 67 some have considered even higher all the way up to age 71. Many states have cut food stamp spending or almost cut them all together to where many people who have been on food stamps for years have had their food stamps taken away from them entirely. In the state I reside in I was denied Medicaid due to the fact that, while he is my fiancé, we are not legally married and as far as they know he is nothing but a roommate. They denied my Medicaid claim because for a two person household, regardless of the relationship that person holds with you, one cannot make over the amount of $24,000 a year; I guess that is an acceptable amount for two people even when the money being made that is over $24k is not the person claiming Medicaid, but someone else's hard earned money. The mantra of the very conservative and traditionalist government when it comes to our social safety nets is one that would take us all the way back to the 1800's. Absent of major infrastructure where we all lived in small communities and everyone knew each other; they think it is the job of your friends, family and community to take care of you and not the government to which any one who has worked has paid taxes to support. The CDC and other government health agencies have made a catastrophe as the systems they are relying on are out dated, defunded and privatized. It is a system that essentially funnels people into homelessness and is one of the contributing factors as to why our homeless population continues to rise at what should be seen as 'at an alarming rate'. Which has led to outbreaks of diseases we have not seen since the 1800's like tuberculosis and cholera, due to all the human feces on the sidewalks and streets. I have been saying, it is a highly unsustainable system for the democrats to pretend they are the only party, take away pain meds which are the cheapest pain management regiment and most effective with limited risks comparatively, especially for those whom are disabled due to chronic pain and chronic illness and most likely to be unemployed or on disability. To take away opioid/opiate medications, act like they have the power to give all this untreated disabled patients with chronic pain and illness unfettered access to social programs when they do not have the ability to do this as every bill in the senate and congress put forward to do so in blocked, filibustered or expelled by the republican party. Along with that any headway progress that is made is undone on the state level where some states even redirect their social welfare funds to other entities like private home communities and private schools claiming "it stops early pregnancy and facilitates fiscal responsibility which helps homeless rates decline"; even though many chronic pain or chronic illnesses cannot be help or are caused by over working. Then the republican party red taps, defunds and privatizes our social programs. Then the republican party deregulates the market to where you cannot even hold a company accountable to nearly any laws at all. This is a system that is very dysfunctional as one is not guarantied disability income, health care, financial assistance, pain medication, employment and even if you do get employment there is no guarantee they have to do anything to accommodate your disability or health needs aside form allowing a person an inhaler for asthma or to make sure they can take their insulin during lunch. The CDC and the government health agencies that follow them blindly pretend that non of that is even ever an issue. In the webinar they even make claims that suggest if every one just lives as healthy as they possibly can, then no one would ever develop any underlying health conditions. I hate to be the arbiter of truth, but that is simply not true (that's me being nice it's BS with a capital B and we all know it). I don't know how we went from a society that understood snake oil pushers are everywhere to a society that might as well be saying we should live like the boy in the plastic bubble. Bubble or not the reality is as we grow old we fall apart and eventually we will die. You can live your life as healthy as humanly possible, and there is nothing wrong with that, but it will not stop anyone from growing old and dying nor will it stop all chronic pain or illnesses resulting in disability. Many of these things can be obtained genetically, many are from dangerous work environments that are physically intensive manual labor or repetitive and being overworked (70 hour work weeks are becoming the norm). Many times it is a combination of genetics labor. Being as healthy as you can by including (this is a real thing) waring SPF lotion inside can be helpful and lower risks but they are not a deterrent. We are incapable at this time of not only offering a suitable replacement for opioids/opiate medications, but we are also incapable at this point in time of having a society completely free of underlying health conditions such as chronic pain or illness and disability especially one where no one grows old and dies; one could easily argue we may never see such an existence as it may not even be possible. My final thought on all this is that I really don't care what kind of "guidelines" the CDC makes and other health agencies. Even if they make them into policy, how are they going to get an entire society and everything in it to accommodate (not even all) chronic pain or ill disabled people. People you don't even know, with so many conditions that cannot even be seen as they are internal. How is that even possible? Is that even possible or is this nothing more then fantasy or pipe dream? I know many people try their best and most have empathy and sympathy, but we can't even get what we already have to work in the favor of chronic pain or illness and disabilities to work now. Although many full able bodied people have the best intentions they have things going on in their life such as maintaining a sleep cycle, a social life and many of the above mentioned prescriptions given to chronic pain and illness people or those with disabilities by the CDC themselves. As the saying goes, there's only so much time in a day; and well there's only so many years to a life. Let us not deny the cold reality, taking care of a full grown adult with a chronic pain condition, chronic illness and disabilities is very arduous and taxing and most don't have the time or energy to take care of every chronic pain or illness disabled person for the 24/7 needs they may have. Let us also not pretend that every one out there has it in them to be 'the good Samaritan' especially multi-conglomerate corporations who hold a for profit model even if it is at the expense of another's well being or life and in this day age at the cost of our own society. There are many that will not engage with this, cut corners, do the bare minimum or just flat out not do it. They could be doctors, police they could be anyone within this society; ultimately it is a standard that cannot even be enforced and wont and I can pretty much guarantee that. This is the CDC's proposal of what to do since they took our pain meds away and chronic pain patients suicide rates have gone up 400%. They did this with no back up plan and since chronic pain patients and the chronically ill and disabled have had their health care turned into a joke with no resources to help. Taking away pain meds has also not caused a drop in the use and overdose of illicit opiates/opioids, it's gotten worse as many who seek their medical benefits take to the streets and become another number. The CDC members responsible for this just sit around scratching their heads like this couldn't possibly be due to the fact that they took away a safe supply leaving the entire population of society with either an illicit contaminated supply or the worst opioids or opiates possible which is buprenorphine (Suboxone) and Methadone; regardless if one is a recreational user or some one who needs them to function as close to a resemblance of their old life as possible for medical reasons; basically an entire rehash of prohibition and or the lead up to Nazi occupied Germany as if we have collective amnesia and haven't learned anything in the last 100 years at all.

33 Caucasian female. I have been disabled my entire life with a physical disability (not something that impacts my life expectancy or increases risk of cancer) and have severe medical trauma (diagnosed with PTSD) that has not been responsive to medication or years of different therapeutic attempts. This makes receiving conflicting medical information extra distressing.
At 25, I had a completely non sedated colonoscopy. At the time I was having rectal bleeding and extreme stomach pain. I had to beg for months to be referred to a gastroenterologist. He immediately noted that I have hemorrhoids. This may be partially due to the fact that the my nerves from T7 down don’t work particularly well so some bodily functions are more difficult.
At the time, I thought we had a family history of colon cancer. I have since learned that my grandfather actually had advanced lymphoma due to extensive and unprotected exposure to pesticides but my dad is pretty awful at understanding medical information and went years saying colon cancer.
Colonoscopy was clear except for one small “serrated sessile polyp” which was removed and biopsied and proved to be non cancerous.
We eventually determined that the pain was coming from NSAID use for my severe disability related pain and cleared up entirely a month after stoping NSAIDS.
The gastroenterologist said I would need follow up colonoscopies every 5 years for the rest of my life. He refuses to actually spend long enough in an appointment to discuss anything. I timed him and got 3 minutes last time and was only allowed to say 2 sentences. He was my only option when I had Medicaid. His plus is the colonoscopy was not painful even though I had no meds. He would prefer me sedated though.
I have better insurance now and sought out a different provider. She looked at the case and said it would be a good idea to have one follow up colonoscopy within 10 years of the initial one but if that one was clear, I could just do a regular every 10 year screening schedule. She was very nice and actually listened to me. She is not comfortable doing an scope without sedation though. I would only be the 2nd person she has done without sedation and her first time didn’t go well.
My primary isn’t sure what makes sense.
The only reason I got a colonoscopy in the first place was because I was so scared thinking I might have a colon cancer given the supposed and now disproved family history and begged for months to be seen (different primary). If I have a colonoscopy, I’ve been asked to go off my pain medication for 2 weeks which will severely negatively impact my mobility, ability to care for myself, and make me unable to continue with my other commitments. My PTSD is very severe and has gotten a lot worse since my colonoscopy. I have massive panic attacks just with a saline IV and a paradoxical reaction to most quick acting anxiety meds. I can not do this if I have to be sedated as sedation is a major PTSD trigger.
Realistically, a colonoscopy is going to wreck several months of my life between the flare up in PTSD symptoms before and after and needing to taper off and then back on to the level of pain medication that allows me to be a semi functional human being. I will have to resign from role in an organization that I find very meaningful and my partner will likely need to take an extended absence from work to take care of me as I won’t be able to use my adaptive equipment without pain medication.
If we are going to go through this, I would like to know it’s justified. I especially do not want to sign up for these exams every 5 years if it’s not needed. I live in an area known for the relatively poor medical care and typically travel for specialists related to my underlying condition. The GIs I’ve seen are local. I have insurance now that allows me to see specialists across the country with no referral so I could try someone in one of the bigger cities a few hours from me or do a virtual visit with anyone. Compared to all of my other needs, this seems silly to track down a 3rd opinion on but I am very distressed at not having a clear idea of what is needed and the fact that neither of these doctors completely understand just how severe my medical trauma is and may not be prepared to handle it. I also don’t want to be an idiot who ends up with advanced colon cancer. I have had some unnecessary and poorly done procedures in the past that left me with long term physical damage so I am just not a fan of any medical procedures.
Any thoughts on how I can approach this in a way that allows me to get accurate information and does the least harm to my life?

Main hub thread with the full 131 rankings
The year was 1976. Nevada, coming off a 3-8 year in Division II, hired a little known assistant from UNLV to be their football coach. He had returned to his alma mater where he played QB just 8 years prior. Chris Ault. Ault oversaw 2 transitions: From Division II to Division 1-AA in 1978, then again to Division 1-A in 1992. Ault was a wild success, running his patented pistol offense, making the Division 1-AA playoffs 7 times in 14 years, with an overall record of 122-47-1. Their final year in 1-AA, 1991, they overcame a 35 point 2nd half deficit against Weber State to win 55-49. Backup QB Chris Vargas led the comeback, and would become known as “The Comeback Kid”. He also donated part of his lungs to his brother-in-law in 2000. Be like Chris Vargas.

• 199-177 record
• 7 conference titles
• 6-11 bowl record
• 0 consensus All-Americans
• 26 NFL players drafted

Nevada’s been in the FBS since 1992, so 31 seasons played since 1983. They were previously in the FBS (Division 1) from 1946-50, but that doesn’t fall under the 40 year timeline here. In their 31 seasons, they’ve made 17 bowls, which is 55% of the time. 7 titles means they win their conference 23% of the time. 5 titles came under Ault, the College Football Hall of Famer and easily the greatest coach in school history. Top NFL players include QB Colin Kaepernick, WR Nate Burleson, and OT Joel Bitonio.

Top 5 Seasons

Worst Season: 2000 (2-10 overall, 1-7 WAC)
New conference, new coach, new lows. Nevada moved from the Big West to the WAC with Chris Tormey, who previously went 32-23 at Idaho. There were early struggles, with a 7-36 loss to Oregon, 10-41 to #22 TCU, and 14-45 to Colorado State. They did get a 35-28 win over Wyoming. The season quickly got away from them though, after a 7-38 loss to rival UNLV. Cormey would go 0-4 against UNLV in his 4 years, which was inexcusable. Nevada got a late season win over Rice, but finished off with a brutal 3-38 performance vs Tulsa. Nevada finished last place in their new conference. Sophomore WR Nate Burleson was a breakout player though, with 921 receiving yards. Burleson went on to be an All-American in 2002, leading the nation in catches with 138, for 1629 yards and 12 TD. He was drafted in the 3rd round in 2003 and went on to have a solid NFL career and is an even better media personality than football player.
5. 1994 (9-2 overall, 5-1 Big West)
Chris Ault was in his 18th season at the time, with 1st year offensive coordinator Bobby Petrino. The two made magic happen, ranking 3rd in the nation with 37.6 PPG. Nevada started 9-1, with the only loss to Boise State, who was in Division 1-AA at the time. Boise would join Division 1-A in 2 years, but in 1994, was a division below and went 13-2 and made the title game. Nevada had rolled through the rest of the Big West, mostly beating teams that finished with losing records, but did beat 6-5 Pacific 38-26. Heading into the final week, Nevada had already won a share of the Big West title, but faced rival UNLV, who was 5-4 (4-1 Big West) and looking to get a share themselves. In the most hyped game between the two ever, UNLV pulled off the upset, winning 32-27 in a game now known as the “Red Defection”, which I talked about in UNLV’s post. Nevada still finished the year 9-2, with a share of the Big West title. QB Mike Maxwell led the NCAA in passing TDs, throwing for 3537 yards 29 TD 15 INT. RB Marcellus Chrishon ran for 1000+ yards in just 9 games, and WR Alex Van Dyke, a future 2nd round pick, caught 98 balls for 1246 yards and 9 TD.
4. 2020 (7-2 overall, 6-2 Mountain West)
Nevada was expected to be a solid team in 2020, returning talented young QB Carson Strong. Because of covid weirdness, their schedule was anything but regular, and ended up playing all 8 regular season games against Mountain West opponents. Because of this, there was little room for error. They did as well as they could, starting 4-0, set to face 3-1 San Diego State, who was the division favorite. There were no divisions this year because of covid, but SDSU was still a favorite to qualify for the title game. A 26-21 lead heading into the 4th for Nevada held for the final 15 minutes, and they improved to 5-0 with a conference championship appearance in sight. At 6-1, they’d unfortunately lose 20-30 to an upstart 5-0 San Jose State team that would go on to win the Mountain West. Nevada still made a bowl, beating 6-5 Tulane 38-27 to finish 7-2, and 34th in my rankings. QB Carson Strong won Mountain West OPOTY, completing 70% of passes for 2858 yards, 27 TD, and just 4 INT. Many were talking about him as a future 1st round pick heading into 2021. RB Toa Taua, brother of legendary Nevada RB Vai, had a solid year with 675 rushing yards in 8 games, earning 2nd Team All-MWC. Toa went on to have a consistent 5-year career in which he amassed 3997 rushing yards, 4th in school history only to his brother, Chris Lemon, and Colin Kaepernick. Strong formed a strong connection with WR Romeo Doubs, now on the Green Bay Packers, who had 1000+ receiving yards and 9 TD in just 9 games. Overall, 10 players made 1st/2nd team all-conference.
3. 1995 (9-3 overall, 7-0 Big West)
This was right after the 1994 season, where Nevada went 9-2 but lost on the final day to rival UNLV, forced to share the conference title. They left no doubt in ‘95, outpacing UNLV 55-32 en route to a 7-0 Big West season and sole owners of the title. In week 3, 2-0 Nevada hosted Gary Pinkel’s Toledo, losing 35-49 in what previewed the bowl game later on. After then dropping a game to SDSU to fall to 2-2, Nevada averaged a whopping 48.4(!) PPG in their last 7 regular season games, going 7-0 with wins over 2nd placed Southwestern Louisiana and 3rd placed Utah State. That set up a rematch with Toledo in the bowl, who was now #25 and 9-0-1. In the first overtime game in college football history, Toledo won again, this time closer at 40-37. Gary Pinkel completed an undefeated season with the Rockets, while Nevada finished 9-3. The offensive numbers were again staggering, even better than 1994. Nevada ranked 3rd in the nation in PPG with 43.4. QB Mike Maxwell led the NCAA in passing yards with 3611 (in just 9 games!) and 33 TD to 17 INT. WR Alex Van Dyke had an unbelievable year, with 129 catches for 1854 yards and 16 TD. In just 11 games! If he played a 13 game season like teams do today, his stats would extrapolate to 152 catches for 2191 yards and 19 TD.
2. 1996 (9-3 overall, 4-1 Big West)
As you can tell, Nevada was balling from 1994-96. New head coach Jeff Tisdale, a former All-American QB for Nevada in the 70’s, took over for Ault, who continued in his role as Athletic Director, which he had been in since 1986. There was no drop off offensively, averaging 42.9 PPG (2nd in the nation), but the defense gave up 8 less PPG, going from 31.2 allowed in 1995 → 23.8 in 1996. QBs John Dutton and Eric Bennett alternated throughout the year, coaches trying to decide who was the right fit to take over for Mike Maxwell. Both were solid, and combined for 3907 passing yards 34 TD 11 INT. Nevada started 1-2 with losses to Pac-10 opponents Oregon and Cal, but then started to wipe through the schedule. Nevada went 7-1 the rest of the way in the regular season, with 25+ point wins over UNLV, Boise State, North Texas, New Mexico State, Utah State, and Arkansas State. The only Big West loss was 15-24 to Idaho, who finished 3rd in the conference. Nevada tied with Utah State at 4-1, sharing the conference title, but got the better of them in a 54-27 win. An 18-15 win over 8-3 Ball State in the bowl clinched Nevada’s first ever bowl win, and they now have 5 more since. LB Mike Crawford nabbed the game-sealing interception, and was the game’s MVP, logging 14 tackles and a forced fumble to go with the INT.
1. 2010 (13-1 overall, 7-1 WAC)
I said that Kansas might be the team with the most obvious “best” season, but Nevada’s up there too. This was a dream season, almost like a Hollywood script. Nevada was a very good team entering 2010, picked to finish 2nd in the WAC, but EVERYONE was picking Boise to win the conference. Not just the conference, but to possibly contend for a national title. That’s what the Broncos did, starting 10-0 and #3 in the nation, getting as high as #2 at one point. Back in Reno, Nevada expectedly started 2-0, setting up a Friday night game hosting Cal. I remember watching it, a Cal fan at the time, hoping the Bears would improve to 3-0, but Colin Kaepernick and RB Vai Taua ran all over our defense, posting 299 rushing yards between the two of them in a 52-31 win. A 27-13 win at BYU the next week put Nevada in the AP Top 25 at 4-0. They’d beat up on bottomfeeders UNLV and San Jose State before heading to Hawaii, but lose a trap game to the upstart Rainbow Warriors, who won 27-21 with almost no one watching the 11:30 PM EST start time game. Nevada kept their focus though, and won 2 more to get to 8-1 and back up to #21. A win over 6-2 Fresno State, a traditional WAC power, was huge, with the Wolfpack taking a 35-34 lead with 5 minutes remaining. After a 52-6 win over New Mexico State, the Wolfpack were 10-1, and #19 in the nation, having one of the best seasons in school history.
Then came the Boise State game. Nevada had finished 2nd in the WAC for 2 straight years, unable to get over the Bosie hump. Boise State was the class not just of the WAC, but of all the non-AQ schools in the BCS era. They were the team that finally had a chance to break not into just a BCS bowl, but the national title game. Nevada was the home team and wasn’t going to just lie down, but this Boise team was, at the time, the best non-Power 6 team we’d ever seen. Boise didn’t disappoint, galloping out to a 17-0 lead early. Taua cut it to a 10 point deficit in the 2nd quarter, but Boise RB Doug Martin immediately responded with a 51 yard TD run to send it into halftime at 24-7. With the offense stalling, Kaepernick finally broke off an 18 yard TD run on 3rd and 6 with 1:30 left in the 3rd quarter to make it 24-14. Following a defensive stop, Nevada got the ball back to start the 4th. Receiving an end-around lateral 12 yards behind the LOS, with 3 tacklers to beat, WR Rishard Matthews evaded them all and took it 44 yards to the house. 24-21. With 5 minutes to go, Nevada made it 24 all. Boise, who hadn’t scored all half, put the ball in Doug Martin’s hands and let him do the work, taking a screen pass 79 yards for the go-ahead TD. In response, Kaepernick drove the length of the field, 15 seconds to go…Touchdown, Nevada! With 13 seconds left! Will they go for 2…? No.
Boise State ball with 9 seconds to go, both teams preparing for OT. Kellen Moore throws up a PRAYER for Titus Young, nearly 60 yards in the air…and Young LAYS out for the catch, down to the Nevada 10. 1 second left, 26 yard FG, Boise with one of the best kickers in school history, game over. Except it wasn’t. Kyle Brotzman hit it wide right. OVERTIME. The stadium was shaking. 3rd & goal in overtime for Boise, incomplete. Brotzman comes back out, this time from 29. WIDE LEFT. As Joe Tessitore put it, “this is turning into a disaster”. On the other side, Nevada kicker Anthony Martinez lined up for a 34 yard FG for the biggest win in school history. Right down the middle. Nevada wins it 34-31 in OT, pulling off one of the biggest upsets of the 2010s and winning a share of the WAC title, against all odds. Nevada won their last regular season game against Louisiana Tech and the bowl against Boston College to finish 13-1 and #11 in the AP Poll.
The offense averaged 41.0 PPG while the defense gave up just 21.4. Kaepernick won WAC OPOTY, throwing for 3022 yards 21 TD 8 INT with 1206 rushing yards and 20 TD on 7.0 YPC. Taua was 1st Team All-WAC with 1610 rushing yards and 19 TD, finishing his career as Nevada’s all-time leading rusher with 4588 yards. DE Dontay Moch was in contention for WAC DPOTY, with 8.5 sacks and 13.5 TFL. Overall, this turned out to be a loaded Wolfpack team, with 9 players drafted over the next 3 years, including Kaepernick, who led the San Francisco 49ers to a Super Bowl appearance.

5th Quarter

Do you remember that insane 2010 game vs Boise, and that Nevada team with Kaepernick/Taua? What do you think about Nevada in general, with the success they’ve had running the pistol and Chris Ault’s legacy?

Context: My aunt is an expat living in a Central American country with great a good healthcare system. She moved with her husband after their son was born around. The plans was for him to study in the US at some point. When I moved out, he moved into my old room. He had visited before and he speaks English well. Not quite fluent but he can go to high school and work a job. Which he does.
My Aunt was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year. I won't give specifics. She is now recovering from a procedure and awaiting some results. Cousin has been in the US during this except to visit during our winter break. He is also planning on staying there during our summer break. At first, everything seemed as normal as could be. He was graduating, in the honor roll and was accepted into a state university with a partial scholarship.
About me: My aunt and I had a rocky time when I lived in the floor above hers. My parents were broke and our apartment lacked anything that could entertain a tween. No computer. No cable. We had a landline and a Nokia for emergencies. So I would come from school and spend time in her apartment. Every night she would complain to my mom about something I moved or didn't put back in its proper place. When she was pregnant with my cousin, I was her designated helper. I went low contact with her after that. Imagine a dopey 12 YO and a hormonal, bloated pregnant woman going to a mall together. Yeah...
When she moved out of the country, I decided I was done with her. This was easy since we had to buy phone cards when we wanted to call her. I simply stepped out of ear shot when my mom called her. Because I grew up to be a petty, awkward adult who struggles to reach out or keep in touch, we have been low contact for the last 15 years. We message each other Happy Birthday since our birthdays are a week apart.
Situation: I started giving my cousin to the Wendy's where he works. He didn't talk much but I gathered that he asked for his hours to be cut as he felt overwhelmed. My mom filled in the detaills: Cousin spends all day everyday in his room, on his laptop, playing online games with his old friends. He does no chores and can barely cook pasta for himself. He was late submitting his FAFSA which led to the college rescinding his scholarship. We don't even know if he's walking during graduation because he never ordered a cap and gown. He honestly doesn't know what he's going to do after graduation. Which is next month.
My mom is keeping the worst from Aunt. But last weekend over dinner, it was clear that my step father and her are throwing in the towel. The last time Cousin visited Aunt, she told him about the cancer. He hasn't talked to me or anyone else about it. I've seen no changes but we don't talk much during the car rides.
Now I'm worried what's going to happen when he visits his mom. And when he graduates. Do I have a dog in this fight? I wished my Aunt well when we messaged each other last time. I also told her that she will be in my thoughts during the procedure. But I have this feeling that I'm not doing enough. Misplaced guilt maybe? I work all week and sometimes Saturdays becausei started a new job as a temp. I also train BJJ for my own sanity. My GF and I have two rabbits that we love spending time with. This is to say that I'm trying to find something I can realistically do for Cousin and Aunt.
How can I help this situation?

Hi all. This is my first aging sick animal as an adult. I’ve filled out the diagnostic information below but I’m wondering if professionals have seen how a cat declines with this cancer. How can I make her comfortable and when is it time to consider euthanasia. I know this is somewhat subjective but as a scientist myself, I need some logic attached if possible and to minimize any suffering. I have posed this question to my oncologist as well and am awaiting a response.

• Species:Cat
• Age: 15
• Sex/Neuter status: spayed female
• Breed: American Domestic Long Hair
• Body weight: 6.5lbs
• History: No history of previous health issues.
• Clinical signs: Gradual weight loss over 2 months. Normal water intake. Decreased but not non existent appetite.

Bloodwork clear 1 month ago except Hypercalcemia.
Ultrasound and X-ray showed inoperable liver mass and a large subcutaneous mass on the abdomen.
Needle aspirate taken twice with oncologist. Pathology inconclusive both times but parts of spindle cells appeared on second test. Due to presentation and the normal ease of finding lymphoma, that was ruled out. Not a good candidate for biopsy or meaningful treatment.

• Your general location: Western PA

Prostate cancer is a type of cancer that develops in the prostate, a small gland located just below the bladder in males. The prostate gland is responsible for producing some of the fluid that nourishes and transports sperm during ejaculation.
Prostate cancer occurs when cells in the prostate gland undergo abnormal and uncontrolled growth. Over time, these cancerous cells can form a tumor that may grow and spread to other parts of the body if not detected and treated early.
The exact cause of prostate cancer is unknown, but certain risk factors have been identified. These include age (the risk increases with age), family history of prostate cancer, certain genetic mutations, race (prostate cancer is more common in African-American men), and dietary factors.
In the early stages, prostate cancer may not cause any noticeable symptoms. However, as the cancer progresses, symptoms may include difficulty urinating, frequent urination (especially at night), weak or interrupted urine flow, blood in the urine or semen, pain or discomfort in the pelvic area, and erectile dysfunction.
Screening for prostate cancer involves a blood test called the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test, which measures the level of PSA in the blood. Elevated levels of PSA may indicate the presence of prostate cancer, although further testing, such as a biopsy, is needed to confirm the diagnosis.
Treatment options for prostate cancer depend on several factors, including the stage and aggressiveness of the cancer, the age and overall health of the patient, and patient preferences. Treatment options may include active surveillance (monitoring the cancer closely without immediate treatment), surgery to remove the prostate gland (prostatectomy), radiation therapy, hormone therapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or a combination of these approaches.
It's important for individuals at risk or with concerns to consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment recommendations.

The Presidency of Winfield Scott
Winfield Scott was a distinguished American general who served in three wars and was the Whig Party’s presidential nominee in 1852. He defeated Democrat Franklin Pierce in a close election, becoming the 14th president of the United States. He was known as Old Fuss and Feathers for his insistence on proper military etiquette, and as the Grand Old Man of the Army for his long and illustrious career.
Scott inherited a nation divided over the issue of slavery, which threatened to erupt into civil war. He also faced challenges from abroad, such as the Crimean War in Europe and the expansion of British and French influence in Asia and Africa. Scott’s presidency was marked by his efforts to preserve the Union, promote American interests overseas, and reform the military and civil service.
Some of the major events and achievements of Scott’s presidency were:

• The Compromise of 1853: Scott supported the compromise brokered by Senator Henry Clay, which admitted California as a free state, abolished the slave trade in Washington, D.C., enacted a more stringent Fugitive Slave Act, and organized the territories of New Mexico and Utah without restrictions on slavery. The compromise temporarily eased sectional tensions, but also provoked resistance from abolitionists and pro-slavery extremists.
• The Gadsden Purchase: Scott approved the purchase of a strip of land south of the Gila River from Mexico for $10 million in 1854. The land was intended to facilitate the construction of a southern transcontinental railroad, which Scott hoped would foster economic development and national unity. The purchase also increased American influence in Central America, where Scott supported the construction of a canal across Nicaragua.
• The Ostend Manifesto: Scott disavowed the secret diplomatic document drafted by American ministers in Europe in 1854, which proposed that the United States should acquire Cuba from Spain by force if necessary. The document was leaked to the press and caused an international outcry, especially from Britain and France, who opposed American expansionism in the Caribbean. Scott declared that he had no intention of annexing Cuba or interfering with its sovereignty.
• The Kansas-Nebraska Act: Scott opposed the controversial act passed by Congress in 1854, which repealed the Missouri Compromise of 1820 and allowed the settlers of Kansas and Nebraska to decide whether to allow slavery in their territories. The act sparked a violent conflict between pro-slavery and anti-slavery factions in Kansas, known as Bleeding Kansas. Scott sent federal troops to restore order and protect free-soilers from attacks by border ruffians from Missouri.
• The Crimean War: Scott maintained a policy of neutrality during the war between Russia and an alliance of Britain, France, Turkey, and Sardinia over the control of the Black Sea region from 1853 to 1856. He resisted pressure from some Whigs and Democrats to intervene on behalf of Russia or Turkey, arguing that American interests were not at stake and that involvement would risk war with Britain and France. He also offered humanitarian aid to both sides and mediated a peace settlement at the Congress of Paris in 1856.
• The Perry Expedition: Scott supported the naval expedition led by Commodore Matthew C. Perry to Japan in 1853 and 1854, which opened Japan to trade and diplomacy with the United States after more than two centuries of isolation. Scott saw Japan as a potential ally and market for American goods in Asia, and hoped to counterbalance British and French influence in the region. He also encouraged Perry to establish friendly relations with China, Korea, and other Asian countries.
• The Civil Service Reform: Scott initiated a series of reforms to improve the efficiency and integrity of the federal government. He appointed qualified and honest men to public offices, regardless of their party affiliation or political views. He also introduced competitive examinations, merit-based promotions, and regular inspections for civil servants. He reduced corruption, patronage, and nepotism in the administration, earning him respect from both Whigs and Democrats.
• The Military Reform: Scott reorganized and modernized the U.S. Army, which had grown outdated and inefficient after the Mexican-American War. He increased its size, improved its training and equipment, established new branches such as engineers and cavalry, created a professional staff system, and revised its regulations and tactics. He also promoted scientific research and innovation in military affairs, such as steamships, telegraphs, balloons, rifles, and artillery. He made the army a model of discipline and excellence for other nations.
• The Tariff of 1853: Scott supported a moderate increase in tariff rates to protect American industries and raise revenue for the federal government. He also favored a flexible tariff system that would allow the president to adjust rates according to changing economic conditions. The tariff was opposed by some southern Democrats who feared it would hurt their agricultural exports, but it passed with the support of northern Whigs and Democrats who benefited from the protection of their manufacturing interests.
• The Homestead Act of 1854: Scott signed into law the Homestead Act, which granted 160 acres of public land to any citizen or intended citizen who settled on it for five years and improved it. The act was designed to encourage westward migration and settlement, as well as to provide opportunities for land ownership and economic independence for farmers, workers, and immigrants. The act was opposed by some southern Democrats who feared it would create more free states and reduce their political power, but it was supported by northern Whigs and Democrats who saw it as a way to promote democracy and social mobility.
• The Transcontinental Railroad Act of 1856: Scott approved the construction of a transcontinental railroad that would connect the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, facilitating trade, travel, and communication across the continent. He also endorsed the use of federal land grants and subsidies to private companies that would build and operate the railroad. The act was opposed by some southern Democrats who feared it would favor northern interests and bypass their region, but it was supported by northern Whigs and Democrats who saw it as a vital national project that would enhance American power and prestige.

Scott’s presidency was widely regarded as successful and popular among most Americans. He strengthened the Union, enhanced American prestige abroad, advanced American interests overseas, improved public administration, reformed military affairs

This is a long shot, and maybe a strange request, but I'm trying to find a specific painter I met in London years ago, but not for anything home improvement related. No, this is not some 'missed connection' sort of thing, and yes, I know this is a DYI subreddit, so don't use your time reminding me. I'm posting here on the off chance that the person I'm looking for uses it.
The story goes like this. I'm American. During the summer of 2009, I was living in London as part of a university program. I met a man (I can't remember his name; he gave me his business card with his painting business' contact information on it, which I thought I kept in a box of mementos from that time, but I can't find it) and a woman (I'm pretty sure the woman's name was Jennifer) in a pub off Edgware Road. They were childhood friends but not a couple, and would have been 35-45 years old.
The woman was dying from cancer. Her doctors told her she had very little time left before she would either a) just die or b) become so ill she would no longer be able to do anything, so, her and her best friend were having one last night out before she passed. My then-girlfriend and I spent time with them that evening. After the pub, we went to Victoria Casino. Jennifer (I really hope I'm getting the name correct) was incredibly energetic and lively and, despite the fact she was clearly dying and probably in a lot of pain, seemed very happy and a lot more at peace with what was happening to her than I ever could be.
The man was putting on a brave face and trying to be fun for her, but he knew what was happening. He tried to laugh it off, at one point saying his wife was going to be jealous because he was meant to be home two hours earlier, but she wouldn't need to worry about being jealous for much longer. You know the kind of jokes people tell in situations like that.
It was only a few hours, but this moment has been living in my head for years and I think about it a lot. For whatever reason, I really want some kind of closure. Don't get me wrong; I'm not expecting some kind of miracle ending. I know Jennifer didn't get better. I'm not a doctor, but you could see she was dying. I'd be surprised if she survived the rest of the summer, let alone the month.
I'm not even entirely sure what I'd ask the guy if I found him. I guess I just want to know how the remainder of her time went and that, hopefully, the end of her life was at least reasonably comfortable.
Anyway, thanks for listening. I have no expectations for success, but I've been thinking about trying to find this guy for years. I decided to finally pull the proverbial trigger, and this was the closest thing I could find to a place that made sense to ask in.

Kim Gordon

Similar Artists
A musician, visual artist, and writer who questions consumerism and women's place in society with a keen eye and poetic detail, Kim Gordon first came to prominence as the bassist/vocalist for Sonic Youth. During her time with that band, her smoky, half-spoken, half-sung vocals and feminist viewpoint added depth to their experimental rock and made her a major figure on the American indie rock scene from the '80s onward. A small handful of her standout moments include "Shadow of a Doubt" from 1986's EVOL; the Karen Carpenter homage "Tunic" and Chuck D collaboration "Kool Thing" from 1990's Goo; and the Kim Deal duet "Little Trouble Girl" from 1995's Washing Machine. In addition, she made a name for herself as an inventive collaborator with Pussy Galore's Julia Cafritz as Free Kitten and in projects with artists such as Ikue Mori and Yoko Ono that strengthened her ties to the avant-garde. Her work as a fashion designer and producer also hinted at the breadth of her talent; after Sonic Youth disbanded in 2011, she branched out even further. Gordon pursued the career as a visual artist that she put on hold while changing the sound of underground rock, and became a best-selling author with her 2015 memoir Girl in a Band. With guitarist Bill Nace, she dove into the most free-form side of her music as Body/Head on exploratory albums including 2018's The Switch. Four decades after she began making music, her 2019 solo debut, No Home Record, proved her juxtapositions of subversive commentary with experimental and pop sounds were as trenchant as ever.
Born in Rochester, New York, on April 28, 1953, Kim Gordon moved to Los Angeles at age five, when her sociology professor father took a job at UCLA. While growing up, she attended University Elementary School and University High School, both of which were progressive institutions associated with UCLA. After completing high school, Gordon studied at Santa Monica College for a couple of years before she transferred to Toronto's York University. In 1974, while in Toronto, Gordon formed a short-lived band with fellow art students, but the group broke up after a single show at the Ann Arbor Film Festival. However, being so far away from home -- and the California sunshine -- wore on her, so she returned and enrolled in L.A.'s Otis Art Institute, from which she graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 1977.
To follow her dream of becoming a visual artist, Gordon moved to New York City in 1980. Along with making herself a fixture of the city's art scene -- she wrote articles for Artforum and worked for the art dealer Larry Gagosian -- she also immersed herself in New York's no wave music scene. Emboldened by no wave's eagerness to crush accepted musical boundaries -- and having just come into possession of a well-worn guitar -- Gordon partnered with Christine Hahn and Stanton Miranda to form the band CKM. It was through Miranda that she met fellow aspiring noise musician Thurston Moore; the pair began dating (and eventually married in 1984). They soon made their partnership creative as well as romantic: with guitarist Lee Ranaldo, Gordon and Moore formed Sonic Youth in 1981. When drummer Steve Shelley joined in 1986, the lineup of one of alternative rock's most influential bands was complete.
Sonic Youth became an underground institution, releasing 22 studio albums between 1982 and 2009. Gordon's bass playing, aloof-yet-fierce vocals, and songwriting -- which dealt with feminism in both practical and abstract terms -- were as fundamental to the band's music as their inventive use of alternate tunings, dissonance, and feedback and subversive use of pop melodies and hooks. As Sonic Youth's popularity crested in the late '80s and '90s thanks to acclaimed albums like 1988's Daydream Nation, 1990's Goo, and 1992's Dirty, Gordon branched out into other projects. She published magazine pieces that included a tour diary entitled "Boys Are Smelly" that ran in The Village Voice in 1988, and an interview with LL Cool J that ran in Spin in 1989. Among her other musical endeavors were Harry Crews, a collaboration with Lydia Lunch that produced 1989's Naked in Garden Hills. Free Kitten, a group she formed with Julia Cafritz of Pussy Galore, was an ongoing project that started in 1992 and issued several albums, among them 1995's Nice Ass, 1997's Sentimental Education, and 2008's Inherit. In 1991, Gordon helped produce the first album by Hole, Pretty on the Inside. She also expanded into clothing design, launching the fashion line X-Girl with stylist Daisy von Furth in 1993.
Later in the '90s and into the 2000s, when Sonic Youth's music returned to its experimental roots on albums such as Washing Machine and Murray St., the scope of Gordon's side projects continued to broaden. She exhibited her art more frequently, with pieces including Kim's Bedroom, which was presented at MU in the Netherlands in 2000, and Reverse Karaoke, an installation she created with artist Jutta Koether for the 2005 London exhibition Her Noise. She tried her hand at acting, appearing in productions like Gus Van Sant's 2005 film Last Days and Todd Haynes' 2007 Bob Dylan biopic I'm Not There. She also launched MirroDash, a limited-edition fashion line, in 2008.
In the 2010s, Gordon experienced personal as well as artistic transformation. Late in 2011, she and Moore announced their impending divorce, and Sonic Youth's São Paulo date that November was the band's final concert. One of the former couple's last projects, the Yoko Ono collaboration YOKOKIMTHURSTON, appeared in early 2012. During this time, Gordon was successfully treated for DCIS breast cancer. She continued to perform, touring with Ikue Mori and founding the duo Body/Head with guitarist Bill Nace. The project's first album, Coming Apart, arrived in 2013; that year, she also had multiple exhibitions of her artwork in the United States and the United Kingdom. Gordon's acting career flourished, as she appeared in projects ranging from the cable television shows Girls and Portlandia to the German horror film The Nightmare. In February 2015, she published her memoir Girl in a Band, which became a New York Times best-seller. She closed the year by moving from Massachusetts back to Los Angeles.
In 2016, the self-titled debut album from Glitterbust, her duo with Tomorrows Tulips' Alex Knost, appeared, along with the Body/Head live album No Waves. That year also saw the release of "Murdered Out," her looping, gritty debut single as a solo artist. Following Body/Head's 2018 album The Switch, roles on the HBO TV series Animals and in the Van Sant film Don't Worry, He Won't Get Far on Foot, and exhibitions at Pittsburgh's Andy Warhol Museum and Dublin's Irish Museum of Modern Art, in October 2019 Gordon released her debut album, No Home Record. Taking its name from director Chantal Akerman's film No Home Movie, Gordon recorded the album with producers Justin Raisen and Shawn Everett as well as composer Jake Meginsky.
