Anemia is exhausting. Investigate if your are eligible for an iron infusion. I spent decades with terribly low ferritin, no matter what foods or supplements I consumed. I had two iron infusions a couple years apart and wow, I needed them. I’m old now and remain stable and not anemic.

All the people that remember measles, polio and WWII are dying and now we have to make decisions based on education as opposed to lived experience.

Oh dear, high population state without Medicaid expansion, terrible public health policy, this could turn bad quickly.

Always so angry. Honest concerned people are looking for solutions to a horrendous problem and he gets so angry when one of the most obvious solutions is mentioned.

Can’t help but think of Andrew Kaczynski’s little Beans. This seems terrible for all the babes in harm’s way. We must fight for them.

I feel like they’re out to get us. All the not quite 65 folks, among many others, are not looking forward to this stupid future.

I’m going to my 45th high school reunion this weekend and this video took me right back to 1980. Thanks for sharing.

πŸ’”So much unnecessary suffering for no good reason. Legal does equal moral. We need new immigration laws, not a bunch of for-profit-prisons making trash billions for the greediest and sick entertainment for the cruelest.

It is demoralizing. Every moment of every day we must acknowledge how totally unhinged and dangerous this presidency is.

The 4th of July when I saw an osprey take flight, during a fireworks display launched over a lake, was the last time that I thought fireworks were fun.
