Michelle and I are thinking of the entire Biden family. Nobody has done more to find breakthrough treatments for cancer in all its forms than Joe, and I am certain he will fight this challenge with his trademark resolve and grace. We pray for a fast and full recovery.

don't see why everyone is so mad about this catGPT thing. like, you go on there, type in CAT or something, and they send you a cat to live with you. true, it doesn't generate new cats, it has to send you cats that already exist. but that seems okay! people are so dramatic.

For herd immunity against measles, 92-95% of the population must be vaccinated.
As a live vaccine MMR can’t be given to pts who are immune suppressed (including pts receiving chemo/radiation or immunosuppression)
And it’s not effective in newborns.
So if you CAN get it, we REALLY need you to.

Or if you're in the Chicagoland area, Indie Bookstore Day would be a good day to visit Bucket O Blood Books, who are constantly placing big orders of our horror stuff. We haven't visited the store in person yet, but definitely plan to on our next trip to Chicago. It looks amazing.

Here is a great thing you can do today for Indie Bookstore Day! You don’t even have to leave the house! Which is especially helpful if, like me, you are experiencing a chronic fatigue crash and cannot move from the sofa.
last year @nobordersbooks.bsky.social sent 600+ books to Rikers; this year our book drive is for teens who are incarcerated in Brooklyn. please purchase a book if you can—most of these are requested titles, and a $7 Goosebumps book would mean A LOT to a kid in detention bookshop.org/wishlists/70...

I kind of committed a small infraction on Indie Bookstore Day in that I entered an indie bookstore and did not mosey; I went straight through three rooms, forehead-first, to a book I wanted like a psychopath.

Went to my #local #bookstore with spouse and indulged in some awesome #indiebookstore finds. I'm no fan of crowds, but I was happy to join so many people of all ages enjoying the events then leaving the store with one or more armloads of books. #IndieBookstoreDay

Don’t feel like dealing with increased crowds at your local independent bookstore today? Physically unable to get to your local indie? No indie bookstore near you? Well, you can still participate in Independent Bookstore Day by shopping at Bookshop.org. 📚 bookshop.org #books #BuyIndie #ShopIndie

What's better than supporting indie bookstores on #indiebookstoreday?
Buying our books, stepping outside to discover it's started to rain, and saying, "Well, there goes the day. Better go home and start reading our books." 🌧️ 📚 👍
