Grateful for community, especially after so much plague! Palliative Care Chaplain focusing on caring and listening. He/him. Lover of music, movies, MCU, Zelda, and all things silly.

By now you have probably heard about the deadly outbreak of vibrio vulnificus along the Gulf Coast, and in case you were wondering: yes, this is another case (yes, this is yet another case) where surveillance of this threat to public health was recently cut.

"okay but even if the vaccines are no longer 'recommended', people can still get them!" yeah so lemme tell you which vaccines american insurance will pay for. recommended ones

Most annoying tic of people who pop over from Vichy Twitter to here to whine about how much Bluesky sucks is when they say "you're just chasing clout/engagement" like why would anyone leave a following on Twitter and move to the site that has 1% as many users for clout? Think for a second

If you’re sick, Rogue will come over and watch movies with you, Kurt will bring you soup, and Logan will kick the shit out of the guy who bullied you in high school to cheer you up.

ymmv, but to me, hope is the radical, irrational(!) belief that what we do now — when everything’s bleak — matters. *whatever* we do matters. and maybe we don’t live to see the realization of our hopes, but hope demands we believe that someone, one day, *will* pick up where we left off.

"Roughly 550 people came to the ICE facility, holding signs that said 'Let Haitians Stay' and 'Keep TPS'. They applauded as their Haitian neighbors entered and exited the ICE Field Office..." www.cincinnati.com/story/news/2...

Listen to those of us who were there. The denial and lies are so tempting, but the reality of COVID was worse than so many thought/think. Staying in denial and bargaining does not help, not with grief and not with healing. Listen to these stories so you can know the truth and stand against lies.

I am so triggered by RJK Jr's comment about ICU's being empty during #COVID. I re-read what I wrote after one of the surges. How do others forget. The trauma was--and is--real.

the biggest presidential scandal in history. jeffrey epstein was a close friend and business associate of trump and they did crimes together! against children! its all pretty much out in the open now but its a smaller story than hillary's email server was for some reason
