Get vaccinated y’all.

Brilliant and important reading.
Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce.

There’s a stray cat that hangs around in the neighborhood and we are expected to get below zero temps. Does anyone know how I could make him a little shelter out of stuff around the house? I am not a cat person, so I don’t want to make something he won’t use. Thank you!!
