THE LAST ROSE OF SUMMER is a true story about the time I said "Screw it I won't" about corruption in cancer research. Now doing the same with fascism. What a time to be alive!

I'm mostly on Mastodon and over there I add this image when I post such articles.

Ooh! In light of the #Nobel Peace Prize, we should all rub it in and post pics of Obama.
Picture of Barack and Michelle Obama seated on a stage in front of a blue velvet curtain near a podium. He is smiling with his hands up and she is smiling and pointing to him. Text reads "Guess who isn't worried about the Epstein scandal?"

I feel this, because I was one of those people on Twitter (and IRL) finding vaccines for people in 2021. And now I'm helping people circumvent this nonsense. This is their list of conditions that get a Covid shot < age 65. Note that "Physical inactivity" is on there. 😉

Asthma, Cancer, Cerebrovascular disease, chronic kidney disease requiring dialysis, chronic lung diseases limited to bronchiectasis, COPD, interstitial lung disease, pulmonary embolism, pulmonary hypertension, chronic liver disease limited to cirrhosis, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, alcoholic liver disease, autoimmune hepatitis, cystic fibrosis, diabetes type 1 or 2, gestational diabetes, disabilities including Down syndrome, heart conditions such as heart failure, coronary artery disease, or cardiomyopathy, HIV, mental health conditions including mood disorders like depression, schizophrenia, neurological conditions limited to dementia and Parkinson's, obesity, physical inactivity, primary immunodeficiencies, current and former smoking, solid organ or stem cell transplantation, tuberculosis, use of corticosteroids or other immunosuppressive medications

Parody of the Gadsden flag with a thrown sub sandwich bouncing off the snake's head. Text reads "DONT BREAD ON ME."

Gawd, this is all of us, but especially those of us *from* rural communities. 😭 #healthcare #BigUglyBill
A farmer in overalls is looking at an ambulance that has a corn stalk attached, symbolizing rural healthcare. On the side the ambulance says: "Somehow it is the evil liberals who are trying to save healthcare for Trump communities."

Strong use of "I don't know who needs to hear this."
World of Engineering says "Japanese firm Kenji Abe has designed a glass beer bottle that you can stick into the sand at the beach." Sam Ghali, MD, says, "Hi, ER doc here. I don't know who needs to hear this but do NOT even think about it." Picture shows a colorless bottle of beer with a rounded, gently tapered bottom that would probably lead to some individuals trying to put the bottle in an inappropriate orifice.

Just joined here from Mastodon and Insta. I hereby submit "proof of cat."
Two short haired, ear tipped cats lying on a bed with blue and white bedding, sleepily opening their eyes a crack at the camera.
