This poor family, what they have endured.

1. Tatiana Schlossberg, the daughter of Caroline Kennedy and granddaughter of President John F. Kennedy, reveals that she was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia just hours after she gave birth to her daughter, and that she has less than a year to live.

Schlossberg is just 35.

(Link below)
Two photographs are shown side by side with a block of text. In the top photograph, Tatiana Schlossberg sits in profile facing left. She has very short gray hair and wears a bright red sweater. Soft warm light falls across her face, highlighting a somber, reflective expression. In the foreground, out-of-focus red winter berries partially obscure the frame. In the bottom photograph, Tatiana is seated beside her husband, George Moran. She is smiling widely and leaning affectionately against him, her hand resting on his shoulder. George is dressed in a blue suit and patterned tie, smiling warmly. They sit at a dinner table with wine glasses and flowers, appearing joyful and relaxed.

No, you can’t get the flu from the flu vaccine.

The temporary side effects that you might feel after getting the vaccine are your immune system reacting to the inactive proteins from the surface of the virus.
What doctors say about one of the biggest flu shot myths
“The influenza vaccine shows the immune system what potential components of the virus it should focus its efforts on,” one expert said.

Massive shoutout out to whoever handles the Royal Canadian Air Force’s social media account. They responded to every single comment on their already very solid Trans Day of Remembrance post and they responded like this…
A screenshot of a Facebook post where a person named Andy ask the Well now “What the hell is transgender?” The Royal Canadian Air Force account response with “That’s a pretty big question asked in a pretty small way, Andy. ‘Transgender’ putting describes someone whose gender – who they know themselves to be – doesn’t match the sex they were assigned at birth. It’s not new, and it’s certainly not a fad. People have lived this experience for as long as people have existed; we’re just finally talking about it openly. You don’t have to fully understand it right away, most learning takes time, but we can always start from a place of respect. That’s how decent folks handle things they’re still getting used to.”

Indeed. What happened here? They put a microphone in front of my face and let me speak for three hours on my views about Canadian health care and now it appears this documentary on Canada may actually see the light of day. Strap in!

They say tomorrow they’re going to announce some ‘peace plan’ to Ukraine that Russia and US prepared. Oh so that’s why Russia bombed us tonight. I mean ‘cause everybody knows bombing civilians is how you show you ready to stop bombing civilians, right ?

Good morning to readers; Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands.

In 2022, Artur and his father, Oleg, both took up arms.

But, while Artur went to fight for Ukraine, Oleg took the occupier's side.

Artur's sister discusses the messages her family sent when it was torn apart by Russia.
Why the war won’t end anytime soon
The Russian invasion has turned once-close family members against each other. We take an inside look into one family’s texts, as the war tore them apart.

Dear USA,
You are never going to see those files.
I’m so sorry.

Kate Bolduan: "The president has not been accused of any crimes or wrongdoing as it relates to Jeffrey Epstein or these files even with these emails being released. That's one thing we need to make clear. There's no accusations of any wrongdoing so far."
