I’m still on that “other” social media site, but hope to relocate here.
For now, I’ll post occasionally and follow back my old pals from the other site.

Dr. Offit is right I fear. the only way to reverse the distrust these Republicans have caused in science is for many people to start dying of preventable illnesses.
RFK JR and his ilk are no better than the Taliban who caused Polio to spread by telling people vaccine caused infertility!

My wife told me that I'd never accomplish anything in life because of my procrastination.
I replied,
Just you wait!

Some arrogant slob used a few vague, ill-informed literary quotes when he wanted to prove my bovine friend, Miriam, wrong.
He was challenging an educated cow. I hope he didn’t have illusions of winning THAT debate, but he sure seemed confident— until he heard her reply.🤣 🐮

Please, everyone.
Please show respect for the arts. Think carefully while reading, watching or listening to something creative. Often, there’s substance you won’t find unless you look for it.

Yesterday, someone was yelling, “SILLY PUPPY ALERT! SILLY PUPPY ALERT!” while walking a young dog who was trying to run in three directions at once.
I ran for my life, but in retrospect I’m wondering if that man was begging for assistance rather than issuing a public safety warning.

No one will agree on the answer to this.
However…
Asking the question in the first place is a step in the right direction.

At what financial inflection point does one transition from believing taxes are a reasonable tool for funding government programs to becoming a hungry ghost whose desire for wealth can never be satiated?

Lionel and I share a couch in our human’s apartment.
We have our differences, but we agree on so much, too.

It’s interesting how some sexual predators are proud of their behavior — and will brag about it and even tell exaggerated stories to losers they can impress — until decent people confront them with what they’ve done.
Then, they deny everything.
Many of us have known someone who does that, too.

“I have a theory.”
I’ve been told that a teddy bear can make a room go silent by saying that.
I’ll try that, but will have to follow it with something really interesting to prevent disappointment.
This business of being a teddy bear is not easy. So much planning involved.

Everybody needs three types of friends: one actual adult friend to give you good advice when you need it, one introvert friend who always just wants to watch movies in their pajamas, and then also a tight-knit gang of cantankerous yet clumsy raccoons for capers and hijinks

A shop assistant tried stopping an armed robber by attacking him with a labeling gun. Police are now looking for a man with a price on his head.

Because your system has been sensitized in certain ways due to the trauma you've experienced, doesn't mean you can't trust your perceptions, interpretations, or intuition.
It means you need to be realistic about your baseline-- without invalidating what you're experiencing.
