Life isn't fair. A perfectly fair universe would be be that perfectly Newtonian "clockwork" universe where everything is predictable, preordained, and predestined.

This is an injection site reaction from getting my COVID-19 booster about 24 hours earlier. It's red, swollen, tender, and itchy.

Following the CDC's removal of critical health data and the potential approval of RFK Jr. as Health Secretary, it is crucial to access accurate health information from independent sources such as the WHO, Mayo Clinic, Johns Hopkins University, and peer-reviewed journals.

Elon Musk and Donald Trump are trying to drive a wrecking ball through our government.
The people who will pay a real price are the hard-working families who are just trying to make it to the end of the month.
We must use every tool to fight back.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

Sharing this from Rt. Rev. Jonathan H. Folts, Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of South Dakota.
“One of our own priests was targeted at his home—so let no one say, ‘it can’t happen here.’ It can. It has. It is. And rest assured, we will not remain silent or passive in responding.”
My heart aches.
