Good news, everyone! In people with a certain type of lung #cancer, receiving an mRNA COVID-19 #vaccine was linked to a near doubling in survival time.
An author of the study says, “We were amazed at the results in our patients.” www.nature.com/articles/d41...

I'm watching #Foundation, and Terrence Mann plays the older iteration of the emperor. He's great, so I looked him up and discovered the most #80's video ever. I'm pretty sure I actually saw him in #CATS on #Broadway on a high school drama class trip. Enjoy! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7n9...

if you’re willing to throw another population under the bus to save yourself, you’re not actually willing to fight fascism.

fascism isn’t a bear, it can’t be escaped by simply outrunning someone slower than you.

the only way it can be defeated is through solidarity.

Today at a pool, I let a kid borrow my water pistol. He immediately yelled, “Execute Order 66!” and shot me repeatedly in the face. Then he started doing the same to everyone else. I didn't think I'd meet Darth Water today.

I did not know that the post office sells D&D stamps.

If you would have told 15 yr old me that D&D would be popular enough for the post office to sell stamps for it, I would have never believed you.

It finally happened. I was knitting in public and someone literally pulled my project from my hands to look at. I did not slap their wrist and say “no!” but it was close. #knit #socks

Temps in the high 60s, enough threat of a drizzle to keep crowds away. It’s a great day to come to the #nationalwhitewatercenter.

I just saw a man taking a morning constitutional while carrying a bright green #parrot. I defy anyone to tell me that #charlottenc is not a world class city.

Continuing to work through the book backlog (book log?). So far, The Overstory is divine. #book

I’m at our Democratic Party County Convention, and our precinct turnout is so high we’re overflowing our designated seating area. It’s great to see!

I ordered pad thai for lunch with the spice level as "mild." It's burning my mouth with its heat. I am the most white bread of all the basic white girls in pumpkin spice land.

Two kids are running at this park. One politely said as they ran past, “I’m not doing a race, okay? Please let me run as slow as I want.”
Same, kid. Same. #kids

Three years ago my husband lost this ring, we thought on a camping trip. Yesterday, I found it by a fresh squirrel hole. What are the odds? #squirrel #lostandfound #buriedtreasure
