Country Home Hopes

Do not let these milquetoast white men content creators convince you that we are doomed. They are selling fear and profiting off of it. His health is failing. The cult has lost its momentum. The Epstein victims are actively making their case and trials will be happening, worldwide. The GOP is fighting amongst themselves about everything. Dems are winning their elections at federal and state levels. The military is being sent to cities to then stand around and get mocked. Judges have ruled it's illegal to be sent to blue cities in the first place. Alligator Alcatraz got shut down. They're desperate to hire people for ICE because people keep quitting. Protests are happening every week, everywhere. We are in a very scary and very chaotic time. Project 2025 is terrifying. People are being emboldened to be violent, and people are being traumatized and harmed. The country has been divided and damaged, but not beyond repair and rebuild. We will get through this, we can't just give up and comply in advance. Don't let the bastards get you down.

Me: I hope we don't have to leave. I don't want to leave my garden. I know I'm terrible at it but I've worked so hard.

My child: Don't limit yourself. You can garden even worse anywhere in the world.

Big, growing crowd just west of the U.S. Capitol protesting Trump, Musk and DOGE on President’s Day. “Hey Congress, grow a spine,” they shout, gathering for a rally around the reflecting pool.

The Secret, Sordid History Of The Graham Cracker Where the graham cracker really came from.

Interesting read on the cycle of epidemics, health, eugenics, and war. History is rhyming hard over here. #history #healthcare #fascism www.refinery29.com/en-us/2017/0...

Knowledge is power…

First microgreens experiment based on this video. So far I've learned just do 1 coconut disc. I did three and had way too much. 🫣https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2U17CHJ/ #microgreens #diy #homesteading

Portuguese editorial cartoonist Zez Vaz reaches back to Tiananmen Square to call on American defiance.

Look at the way they venerate the villain in Lord of the rings as part of their subculture. They all love Sauron.

Keep on keeping on. Skills are an important buffer that also make comfort. Learning to make bread here. #kingarthurflour #bread #homemade #baking

Opinion | The assault on DEI? It’s aimed at resegregation. The GOP leaders attacking inclusion programs want to go back to an era when White men ran everything

My latest.

As journalists and writers, we have a duty to use language that is accurate and describes our current reality.

I’m no longer going to talk about DEI/Anti-DEI.

Let’s be clear. We are facing racial purges and re-segregation.

Medicine slow rolled my care so much I now get to navigate a bunch of medical stuff in the middle of the apocalypse. And I may have missed the window to avoid cancer. If my dumb ass had most of it figured by 2019 why did medicine take 6 years more? #medicine #healthcare #cancer #raredisease

I have the opposite experience. Asthma inhalers, prednisone all decay significantly. Benadryl as well. Lots of important meds do not maintain potency.

One of the reasons we are all freaking out is because Democratic leadership is nowhere to be seen.
We need a democratic pseudo president to address what is going on and what we can do about it.
Someone who has rallies, interviews. Show us sane in an insane world.

when humanity invented roomba we were at a fork in the road. it was a step towards a future where robots did our labor, giving time back to us to enrich our lives. then roomba mapped our houses and wifi networks and sold that data. the dark pathway. robert frost would never

If you see someone sleeping in their car, no you didn’t. People just trying to find a safe place for the night aren’t your problem. What kind of person reports that? Mind your business and let folks rest. The world’s hard enough without you making it harder.

The uptick in censorship and misinformation over the last week is really wild. I hate that humans keep failing to evolve. #humanity #misinformation #disinformation #propaganda

You're allegedly a physician. Do you spend a lot of your free time trying to troll patients online? This is out of pocket. Do better.

These are the eras where fortunes are lost BUT also made. Maybe for once, people who aren't sociopaths could be the ones with all the money. Luck favors the prepared. Anyway I'm prepared for my shingles 💉 today, hoping it doesn't spin me like a 🐄 in a 🌪️ bc my biochemistry is a ❄️. 🫣 #deepthoughts

@propublica.org @theguardian.com it'd be interesting to dig into how bad the diagnostic delay is still esp for women & people of color, & how these policies target them with sop medical complicity. Wasn't there an ob/gyn recently outed as a yt power militia leader? #medicine #misdiagnosis

Physicians know so little about rare disease AND are so unable to recognize competency in patients that physicians on social media whose 1st instinct is they're 'gonna larn me a lesson' just prove my point. Idk if it's in bad faith or what but do better. #medicine #raredisease

There aren't any. You do labs to make sure it isn't something else. We have long standing 5+ year diagnostic delays for issues that can be found in a 5 minute blood draw. Instead patients get diagnosed as anxious/depressed in 5 seconds. Now they could face camps.

Yes but I'm one of the l first in line to take a hit

I'm potentially affected as a patient.

I do follow everyone. ☺️
