My Aunt is in hospital with five broken ribs. She went by ambulance to two hospitals because the first was unable to help her. She'll be there for a few weeks. This will cost her, an 88-year-old widow, nothing.
Literally, nothing. And the only country surprised by this is America.

In the 90s, I genuinely thought the Internet would cure loneliness. But it turns out that for me anyway the Internet addresses loneliness the way alcohol addresses anxiety.

For years I justified my twitter habit by saying, "I need to be here to promote my books and stuff like the Project for Awesome."
Without twitter, this year's p4a raised a record $3,700,000.
Without twitter, Everything Is Tuberculosis (a history of tuberculosis!) is outselling my previous book...

Everybody is so touched by this anglerfish coming to see the light and I’m over here like “actually you are deeply misunderstanding the sensorium of deep sea creatures and that girl was blinded way before she got to the surface.”

It seems there was a dinner at the WH where a military choir serenaded the orange turd and his guest with a rendition of One Day More from Les Miserables, and the ignorant fools loved it. This is what happens when you don’t read. People mock you to your face. 😹

I just have to say watching P4A this weekend was absolutely lovely. A healing beautiful way to push back against these toxic winds. Your whole team should be proud and I'm very happy you beat the record.

The #1 reported reason people avoid doctor’s appointments is because they’re afraid of finding out they have a serious illness.
If you have that fear, that’s normal and you’re not alone. Also remember, there is basically no serious illness that isn’t less serious if you catch it sooner.
