Hundreds of N.I.H. grants and clinical trials were cancelled, affecting thousands of patients. I worried about funding for leukemia and bone-marrow research at Memorial Sloan Kettering. I worried about the trials that were my only shot at remission. Early in my illness, when I

You know you're getting older when SNL is your introduction to an apparently popular musical artist.

This is an interesting and thoughtful opinion! I feel sorry for everyone involved, most especially the dog.

The "6-7" meme must be on its last legs, as it has now trickled down to my kid's elementary school.

Received the final dismissal order on a case that was 8 months older than my 7-year-old kid. Sometimes litigation is a slow process.

Fight don’t fold.

Random thoughts on ICE trauma porn: For years Black folks on social media have been asking people to not share videos of police violence. Now people are sharing videos of ICE violence. Terrible, traumatic moments in people’s lives shared often without consent.

Some combo of 3 and 5, preferably, although I'm often in places where the only options are 1, 2, or 7, in which case I go with 1.

His Works Completed, Dick Cheney, Mass Murderer of Iraqis and American Democracy, Dies As much as the Trumpists claim to disavow the War on Terror, they walk a path paved by the most powerful vice president in U.S. history.

One of my daughter's classmates has epilepsy, and her teacher crocheted purple bracelets for the entire class to recognize National Epilepsy Awareness Month. Pay teachers more money.

We were definitely handing out fruit snacks by the end of the night.

We always get a lot of trick-or-treaters, but I think fairly decent weather plus Friday night meant even more people were out, because we had over 400 kids.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

I'm currently sitting on an uncomfortable bench watching gymnastics, so yes.

Thank you for this reminder to threaten cancelation of my Sirius subscription in order to lower my monthly fee.

6YO was outside helping me with yardwork and singing KPop Demon Hunters at the top of her lungs, sorry not sorry neighbors.

I've never watched the Mary Berry seasons of GBBO but just learned they're available on the Roku app, so that will be a nice distraction.

That sucks, I'm sorry.

Noooo that is the worst.

I think the problem for any politician using the word "genocide" when one is occurring is that it forces them to answer for what they're doing to stop it, and if they're not doing anything to stop it, how do they justify that?

Can't decide whether to laugh, cry, or throw up.

aaand we are officially in the hide-your-neighbors stage

Meta AI advertisement that purports to make a photo of a toddler in a yellow sweatshirt riding a balance bike on the sidewalk and looking away from the camera "look classical" by turning said toddler into a tiny creepy person dressed in a Renaissance outfit and staring with dead eyes at the camera.

We're destroying the planet for THIS?!?
