Real quick, because....uh, just because.
Suicide awareness, check on your people.
And check on yourself.
Also, I don't have to be physically there/ IRL to love you.
Be kind to yourselves.
Take even one moment to take a breath and find one thing that makes you feel joy, gratitude, peace
Please

Most doctors agree on a simple plan for life:
- drink water
- get some rest
- exercise once every thousand years
- cover your corporeal form in moss & wildflowers
- shamble slowly through the old forest and become a dark legend of the wildlands

- get some rest

AGAIN: TENNCARE IS MEDICAID
1.5 million Tennesseans are on it
Most are working. The rest have other reasons, despite the fearmongering.
It’s not cash. You can’t live large on it.
Cutting $1 TRILLION to give a tax cut to the rich is cruel. @MarshaBlackburn @RepTimBurchett

NEW: More women have nearly bled to death during miscarriage under Texas’ abortion ban.
Experts say the trend paints a troubling picture of the harms of unnecessary delays in care. “This is striking,” one doctor said. “The trend is very clear.”
