Your Daily Dorothy Parker
"whales and elephants appear to have much to teach us from their many years on this planet" in so many ways.
While writing my first novel, I held onto a line from the movie, Field of Dreams: "If you build it, they will come."
As in, "If you write it, they will publish it."
It kept me going. And now I have an offer on the table.
Build it. They will come 🙏

AP story on young adults showing up to Quaker worship at Arch Street Meeting House in Philadelphia!
We've seen this here, at Central Philadelphia Friends Meeting, and in other nearby meetings, too.
1. As some Democrats have run from transgender rights, Zohran Mamdani is showing what so many others have lacked: courage to lead with his values over pandering to focus groups.
The ad is one of the best things I've seen from a politician on transgender people.

Public health is not partisan. It is health for the public.
That means all of us.

Thank you! I didn't know about this setting. I try to do alt text, but this will make sure I remember.

Trans rights are human rights.
Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone.
Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care.
The system is broken.
1. The HHS Appropriations Bill is out and it contains several devastating anti-trans provision.
It would bar federal funding for trans youth and adult care nationwide, which could be used to bar hospitals from providing it at all.
Will Democrats stand firm, or cave to avoid a shutdown?
Dr. Judy Stone has written yet *another* great piece, this time about measles and what the public should know about it.
Measles continues to spread throughout the U.S., and we have the highest number of cases since it was declared eliminated in 2000.
NEWS: A federal appeals court ruling upheld the law I led to allow Medicare to negotiate lower drug prices. I submitted an amicus brief to the court arguing for the constitutionality of this law.
This is a major victory for seniors and affordable health care.
His military flyover of the Epstein Survivor's Press Conference was like when a little kid puts their fingers in their ears, saying "Nyah, nyah, nyah I can't hear you!"!
Pathetic, hugely expensive & hilariously ineffective.

Check out the successful, happy countries with universal healthcare and strong social welfare systems. They prioritize education to improve their nation. Typically, educated people are more likely to accept science and often identify as atheists. Interesting, huh?
There is a lot of focus on Tylenol and autism spectrum disorder today, but RFK Jr. is also suggesting that low folate levels contribute.
First, a reminder that genetics are the overwhelming contributor to ASD—up to 90%.
Anything else he pulls out is likely to have minimal impact on ASD rates.
Alongside Tribal partners, we raised the flags of the 11 sovereign Tribal Nations on the Capitol Mall.
With these flags raised high, we’re honoring our government-to-government partnership and recognizing that our Indigenous neighbors are not in the past.
9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American."
It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...
