Oh dear! I have been blocked! By a real, not-fake person who is most assuredly not a bot.

And that makes no sense at all. Community health work is vital. But, the devaluation of vital public health work continues. It reminds me of a job post I saw on Indeed. I've got an MPH & a 2nd MS in Health informatics. That pay is insulting.
A job posting for a Population Health Coordinator for Rochester Regional Health in NY, with a pay range of $17.25 to $18.90 per hour.

He's not talking about himself, you understand. He's talking about the people in the audience, and their soldiers, sailors and airmen. He won't be at the front leading charges or putting himself in harms way. He'll just watch body cam footage and pretend.

White supremacy won't die until white people see it as a white issue they need to solve rather than a Black issue they need to empathize with.

Timeline cleanse. These beauties came up in an unexpected corner of the shed. They've never bloomed before in the 8 yrs we've lived here. Sometimes, life surprises you.

Does anyone else have a dog that freaks out at the sound of a hose rinsing a lawnmower? If he had been able to get behind the chair, he would have. 😬
A brindle greyhound has contorted himself into a chair he barely fits in. A hind leg is hanging off, and his mouth is open from panting. His ears are in an alert state because he hears a noise he thinks might mean dinner is being prepared.
