As a reminder always best to resist the urge to judge someone you don't know for making a mistake. These moments are opportunities to evaluate the safety in your own life. Are your smoke alarms all working? Do you have a fire extinguisher in your kitchen? If you have kids, is the furniture anchored?

I think what is making everyone so angry isn’t just the cowardice of Senate Democrats, it’s their cowardice in comparison to the random normal person who runs for school board to oust a Moms for Liberty freak

I remember the cystic fibrosis patients I took care of 20 years ago.
I also remember the dedicated HIV wards in the hospitals, and that Princess Diana made headlines for shaking hands with AIDS patients.
Progress has been incredible.
Miracles are where you choose to see them.

A ski mountain snow reporter (whose job is to send out a daily report on skiing conditions) eloquently shows more courage and accuracy than most of the Democrats in Congress.
JD Vance is skiing at a Vermont resort this weekend. The resort’s snow reporter took the opportunity to make some good trouble, sending out a message of resistance against an administration “threatening our democracy, our livelihoods, our land”. [kottke.org]
Good Trouble: JD Vance Chastised by Vermont Snow Reporter
JD Vance, fresh off of helping his boss ambush & insult a foreign leader in the White House yesterday afternoon, is on vacation in Vermont with his family this weekend and will be skiing at Sugarbush Resort in Warren, VT

It's not too late to order some free Covid tests from USPS. If RFK Jr becomes HHS, there is a good chance this program will be cut. Get your free tests while you can. special.usps.com/testkits

This feels so clear.
I was worried that my dog might have (very mild) conjunctivitis, spotted as she was starring fixedly at me, willing me to get up and feed her.
Me: Hold still puppy so I can get a closer look at your eye.
Puppy: Oh, my goodness, your face, I love your face! Let me lick your face!
Conclusion? 🤷♀️

I think I mostly want this to be a pet appreciation account, but I've also been having some thoughts about home repairs that I want to post here. I figure it'll be therapeutic. Or, cathartic, at least. Today's thread is brought to you by surprise! MDF!
