@sararubin.bsky.social says I need to balance out my stuffy book selection with lighthearted fare and her examples were:
- “Fifteen Hundred Grandpa Jokes To Curl Your Toes”
- “One Thousand Farts To Dance To”

This connection isn’t articulated often enough.
That is why care has transformative power beyond health. To be truly listened to – to be recognized not as a case but as a person – can change not just how one experiences illness, but how one experiences oneself and the world. It can foster the capacity to care for others across differences, to resist hatred and violence, to build the fragile social ties upon which democracy depends. By contrast, when medicine is reduced to data and transactions, it not only fails patients and demoralizes doctors. It also degrades democracy itself. A system that alienates people in their moments of deepest vulnerability – bankrupting them, gaslighting them, leaving them unheard – breeds despair and rage. It creates the conditions in which authoritarians gain traction.

I knew the gist of it but I wasn't prepared for the ending of Moby Dick to basically be that scene in Poltergeist where the entire house implodes into a tiny wink of light.

happy halloweens from us @shanemadej.bsky.social
Married cuties Sara Rubin and Shane Madej dressed up for Halloween as the mouse and exterminator, respectively, from the Western Exterminators logo. The western exterminators logo. On the left, a mouse wearing a hat and napkin holds up a knife and a fork as if preparing to eat a delicious smorgasborg. On the right, a dapper exterminator, wearing a top hat and sunglasses, leans down and shakes a disapproving finger at the mouse, as if to teach the mouse a lesson but he secretly holds a giant mallet behind his back. The violent brute!

Ghost turnip, Fintown, County Donegal, Ireland, c. 1900 (replica), National Museum of Ireland
Frightening face carved into a turnip to place a candle in "In 1943 the National Museum of Ireland received a turnip lantern from a schoolteacher, Rois Ní Braonáin who was teaching near Fintown, Co. Donegal. She stated that it was the type that was always made in that locality around 1900. This plaster-cast model was created and painted by the museum artist, Eileen Barnes. Candles were placed inside the turnips and they were used to frighten people on the night of 31 October. The pumpkin that is prevalent today is an American development of this Irish tradition." https://www.museum.ie/en-IE/Collections-Research/Collection/Top-things-to-see-in-the-Irish-Folklife-Collection/Artefact/Ghost-turnip/b202e8ea-0728-4b3d-b0f1-82660fe45ce9

Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves. One for practice and the other one is the "main" grave.

I weep for the day when this post will be screenshotted for its harrowingly accurate foresight but I nevertheless have a moral responsibility to say it: all Labubus will detonate on Christmas morning 2025.

Undoubtedly the coolest marine footage ever captured and so I think we are now in the clear to bomb all the oceans and destroy these horrible beasts forever.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA
