Excuse me, they said *what*? I am so frustrated and worried for you! I hope you can get some competent medical care to get you on the journey to healing!

If you burn down a forest, you don't miss out on lumber for just that season. You have to replant all the trees, nurture them, and wait for them to grow.

The science and research budget cuts happening now are wanton, senseless arson. Recovery, if it ever happens, will take generations.

I had a colleague I respected very much who died from the flu. He lived alone and had no one to take him to an urgent care, or to realize how sick he had gotten, before he was gone. I've never thought about the flu the same way since.

Haha, as far as I'm concerned, you can *always* write a story for me! (And I love your pirate piece. This was such a fun anthology to work on!)

Yeah, looks like a big doesn't work. Will explore options.

I hadn't seen this elsewhere! Thanks for sharing the good news. He has had a long fight for justice.
