Agree. Enjoyed it a lot, and got a different perspective from what I had learned.

This is Thanos. He has figured out how to rest and babysit at the same time. Very impressive, very Montessori. 13/10 (TT: thanosthesaint)

when I was on Medicaid I was a full-time graduate student with two part-time jobs, neither of which offered me health insurance. Without Medicaid, I would have been completely screwed. None of these Rs talking about this know a single thing about it besides that they don't want you to have it.

Doesn't matter who you are, this type of follower gap is unacceptable. We don't support clout-chasing influencers, whatever their resume looks like. Do better.

Can’t help but notice that nearly all of the follow requests I get are from young women with attractive profile pix. This is statistically suspect, especially for a 70-y.o. married dude. Is Bluesky ridden with bots, too?

I spent 14 years in opioid hell. Many friends and acquaintances have lost their lives.

It’s a result of American drug company Purdue Pharma/OxyContin.

Anyone trying to blame fentanyl, Mexico, China, or Canada for America’s overdose deaths and opioid drug addiction are full of shit. Full stop.
