(rhymes with Ambrosia) I deal with health insurance companies for a living - it is pretty soul crushing, but hey, ask me about PAs! She/Her, 5th gen Coloradan, love my rescue dogs, camping, hiking, etc... This is my new home to talk into the void

I probably would have had two patients die in the last month alone without PubMed. Because of the peer reviewed articles I found on some rare diseases, confirming their diagnosis, and specialized treatment modalities, they are alive. #Medsky

Remind yourself of this:

You are smarter, better and kinder than the people that rule us.

Their authority has no moral basis and your judgement is always superior.

Don't doubt yourself just because they've lodged themselves like parasites at the heart of our society.

Yeah well we have this little thing called freedom of the press. Yeah it’s pretty neat. 3 guys control the media and social media and they have more wealth than half the planet. If you ask about gun control they put you in a dog cage

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

Political violence disproportionately hurts people with less power, not people with more power. Political violence will disproportionately hurt people of color and women and LGBTQ people. It’s not fair, but that’s the way it works. Celebrating political violence means at best indifference to that.

If I have any credibility with you from 20 years of reporting on rightwing & fascist movements, please listen when I beg you not to celebrate Charlie Kirk getting shot. Leave aside morality: this isn’t a match in dry grass, it’s a torch. We do not want what this could ignite & we would not win.

Just a heads up. I was able to schedule my COVID vaccine appointment. Online it will ask β€œdo you have a condition that puts you at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19 virus.”

Click yes and it will allow you to schedule an appointment.

No questions asked.

No proof required.

Pass it on.

Their memorials are history. Ours are political. Because as always, there are two sexualities - straight, and political.

Two genders - male, and political.

Two religions - Christian, and political.

Two races - white, and political.

About halfway through the month and I am still about $1700 short of my July bills. It’s also my birthday next weekend and I would love to buy myself a cake. I am currently supporting myself and my partner. Sales needed, shares of my art appreciated, and tips help tremendously. πŸ’œπŸ™

My sister would never eat smoked herring. She only ever heard about it (didn't read the jar) and thought grandma was trying to feed her smoked HERON. She thought the birds were too pretty to eat.

One would hope the obvious fact that a crazy racist billionaire can reprogram an AI bot to also be crazy racist in the blink of an eye will make anyone pause just a sec before they open up any other AI tool and treat it as gospel.
