I lost my Mom to pancreatic cancer when I was 19. She was only 47.

My grandmother also died from it at 53.

When Mom was diagnosed, she sat me down and said she knew exactly what I was feeling because she felt the same way when her Mom was dying.

MeetUp Rescheduled! , Fri, Aug 1, 2025, 5:00 PM | Meetup Hi all - Sunday's Meet and Greet was rained out, so we're trying again for Friday. Let's meet at the South Street PHS Pop-up on [1438 South Street,](https://maps.google.c

Many people say they want to make friends -but they don't want to make the effort.

I host a #Philly MeetUp w 600 women over 50. I've hosted bingo, movie nights, art pop-ups and happy hours.

One came to bingo. The rest? Zero.

If you want to make friends, you HAVE TO SHOW UP.

"Fly" by Sugar Ray. I have no idea why, it just grates on my nerves to the point where I feel slightly ill.

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.ย 

Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

Shout-out to Dietrich and biochemical engineer Eric who kept a girl company at the World Cup game tonight.

I was struggling to walk (tnx muscle disease!) Of course my seat was at the top of the Linc.

My friends were delayed. The men stayed with me so I didn't have to sit by myself ! V. kind.

All the best to her and a reminder that Michael Weatherly, who harassed her, was caught on camera doing so and was enthusiastically defended by CBS (who put Dushku through the wringer), is headlining an NCIS spinoff.

Then you know that it's not realistic to expect a reporter to be an expert in every story they cover.
That doesn't mean we don't know what's going on.

There's so much bashing of the media, when the reporters I know are trying so hard under awful circumstances.

Why add to it?

A reporter's job is to write about many issues across a beat. I write about neurology, psychedelics, loneliness etc., as part of the medical beat.

Even the experts I interview rarely know what's "REALLY" going on across their entire field.

And.. you're not a reporter, right? You're a flack?

Fact Checking Is the Core of Nonfiction Writing. Why Do So Many Publishers Refuse to Do It? Emma Copley Eisenberg discusses the dangers of authors being forced to hire their own fact-checker out of pocket. If they do so at all.

The wonderful novelist and nonfiction writer @emmaceisenberg.bsky.social investigated this for Esquire in 2020:

See to me, if people actually love you, than taking a COVID test before a family gathering or getting together outdoors is such a small effort to make.

I don't understand why it's such a struggle for people. I'm sorry.

What's the pettiest thing you've done for revenge?

When Sundance channel charged me $64 for a year w/o a renewal notice and refused to let me cancel, I posted my name and PW to my 50+ women's group.

With 2,500 women.

At least 20 said they were going to join but didn't need to now! Enjoy.

Do any of them take precautions for you so that you don't get COVID again?
That seems to be the sticking point for most of my friends with Long COVID.

A deep dive into private ketamine clinics - there are more than 1,000 today across the U.S.
Many are calling for stricter guidelines and a clear standard-of-care for this depression treatment.
