Thanks for the Alt caption. Adding context helped me.

Them: "Who's skull is that?"
Me: *raising it to my lips to take a drink* "A guy named Phillip"
Them: "What's in it?"
Me: "Vodka and orange juice."
Me: *Pause* "It's a Phillip's head screw driver."

Steve Rogers on left Fred Rogers on right The Two Rogers Rule of Humanity: If Steve or Fred wouldn't do it, neither should I.

Follow The 2 Rogers Rule:
If neither Steve nor Fred would do it, you shouldn't either.
Protect your team. Be a good neighbor. Punch a Nazi. All are great examples of World Kindness Day.

Once chronic pain patients find a dosage that cuts the pain enough for them to be functional, they stabilize and can remain on that dosage for years or decades, barring accidents or additional injuries.

Again, talk to the patients about their lived experiences.

I’m not debating what is being taught. I’m saying: Listen to the lived experiences of severe chronic pain patients.

If ibuprofen only provides adequate relief, great!

There are many, many for whom it doesn’t/won’t & they still need access to stronger meds to allow them to be functional humans.

You may have been taught that in school but people who experience major chronic pain will teach you the opposite, if you listen to them.

Ibuprofen has its place in chronic pain management, but it does very little against severe chronic pain.

The world needs all of us to be more like Mr. Rogers, more of the time.

Those deductibles, copays, and especially coinsurance payments add up really fast, especially with cancer. They become 10s or 100s of thousands of US dollars within months. Even when you have really good insurance.

Ask me how I know.

The news from the Epstein documents is coming fast and furious, and a lot of it has the potential to be triggering and traumatizing to sexual abuse survivors.

Remember you don’t have to keep up with everything.

Mute keywords. Take a break. Curate your digital space.

It’s ok to step away.

YOUR FOES WOULD SEE YOU SLEEPLESS: RESIST AND REST.

I would place my money on a combo of “too young to remember” and “pre-existing conditions didn’t directly affect them at the time.”

I’ve known too many people who thought they had amazing insurance until they actually had to use it for something major.

HANG UP YOUR CLAYMORE, TODAY YOU WILL BATTLE THE THOUGHTS THAT WOULD STEAL OUR JOY. AND YOU WILL WIN.

Thank you for the Alt text.

Thank you for the Alt text.

Text reads: “You’ve heard of elf on a shelf….. now get ready for…. It’s a picture of Betty White siting on a Big Foot from a polar region Yes, it’s Betty on a Yeti! (I’ll add: I will see myself out quietly)

It’s getting to be that time again…

You’re welcome.

If you feel overwhelmed, remember that you can still make a difference doing little things. A compliment or word of encouragement, a tip to a favorite takeout place, a donation to a local charity, an email to your favorite author, time with a pet, a walk outside, or a phone call to a loved one.

Thank you.
