My brother and his host of co-morbidities refused to get the covid vax. My brother caught covid and he died struggling for air, alone in a hospital surrounded by strangers trying to help him. If you’re anti-Fauci, you’re as stupid as my brother was.

I’m figuring this cancer shit out. Been through the grief and depression and uncertainty, am now armed with solid data and am ready to move forward.
I know I’m not the first person to get a cancer diagnosis. But it IS the first time I’VE gotten one. And it suddenly occurs to me that I have no idea what this means and I think I’m going to drop out for a while to figure some shit out. Thanks to everyone who expressed support. I just need a moment.
The five stages of loss are definitely non-linear. I thought I went straight to acceptance. Turns out the anger and depression part can sneak up on you. I’m mostly angry right now. Fuck cancer.

I promise I’m not going to let this diagnosis become my entire identity on this app. But I’ve said it before and I’ll repeat: Men, I don’t care how healthy you think you are or feel. Get that damn PSA test and keep track of your readings. It can save your life. DO IT.
Holy shit, we're actually getting there. "UCLA researchers develop low-cost blood test to detect multiple cancers and other diseases from a single sample [—] In tests, MethylScan detected about 63% of cancers across all stages and roughly 55% of early-stage cancers." (from April) #ShareGoodNewsToo

The test could offer a more affordable approach to early disease detection.

California is my home, and my fellow Californians are family. I’ve gone head to head with the Trump administration before, beating back his attacks on California, and I’m not afraid to do it again. Because I’ll do whatever it takes to protect my family.
TIL that cancer doesn’t give two flying fucks about how healthy you are or how many miles you can run or how fast or how committed you are to living a healthy lifestyle. It just goes about its business whether or like it or not. Fuck it. I’m gonna win.
Today I am more determined than ever before that despair in any arena is not a viable option. While the next step is not always clear or obvious, there is ALWAYS a next step to take.
Well damn. Not the biopsy results I was hoping for. Guess I’m on a new path now.
Hope she has better medical care than when John Hurt did it on the Nostromo.
PSA: If you, like me, get stupid blubbery over things like heartwarming holiday commercials, do NOT watch “The Sheep Detectives” without proper emotional support animals nearby. You have been duly advised.
How in the world Wes Craven got another job after this abomination I’ll never understand. #Svengoolie
I thought the glowing green stuff in this movie gave a much more convincing performance in “Reanimator.” #Svengoolie
And I still say Adrienne Barbeau should have gotten double billing. #Svengoolie
The special effects person responsible for creating the illusion that Louis Jordan has a full head of hair earned every penny. #Svengoolie
Halfway through this movie set in a swamp, whose main character is named swamp, and not so much as one solitary stock clip of an alligator slithering into the water. #Svengoolie
Adrienne Barbeau and the dude in the red sweat band must go to the same hairdresser. #Svengoolie
Louis Jordan must have owed a lot of back taxes at the time. #Svengoolie

People who seem quite upset at the diversity of casting in “The Odyssey” probably never once complained about all the biblical epics where Romans spoke with posh British accents and Jesus was a blue-eyed surfer boy.

Amazing. Abdul's campaign has spent tremendous energy trying to match Mamdani's "viral online" success with his "Taylor Swift lip sync" & "Blue's Clues" videos. Haley didn't have to do a damned thing and her opponents managed to Streisand Effect her into a smash hit meme. (sound up!)
Personally, I think a Harris/Ossoff ticket would be unbeatable (assuming an election with no shenanigans), and I would gladly work for, donate to, and vote for such a team.
Six years ago today, my parishioner, my mentor, and my hero, John Lewis, transitioned into ancestorhood. May God bless the memory of the boy from Troy, and may we all continue getting into good trouble.
