Talk to your doctor about anything.
Science communicator and professor of biology. Division Director. Polymath. I question EVERYTHING.
Same on Bluesky.
I lost my dad today.
I'm not looking for sympathy.
I just want to say that the world is a little worse.
Think on the good things in your lives. Hug your loved ones a little harder. Listen when they speak to you. Love them so much it hurts.
Bye Dad. I love you.
Every guest for Thanksgiving canceled. I'm sitting here by myself with food for 12 people.
How's your day?
I'm not thankful for the silence, but I hear the message.
My sweet kitty crossed the rainbow bridge today. If you have a companion, please pet them a little for me. Love them just a little more. Squish them just a little tighter.

They buried them in a loving embrace so they would be together forever.
Likely story you conjured up.
By the way, that image is from Sofia Voutsaki’s excavation of ‘Mycenaean Sparta' in 2013.
I'm reminded of a story about a man who looks at the paper each day but never buys one. When asked why, he said, "I want to see the obituaries."
"But sir, the obituaries aren't on the front page."
"The one I want to read will be."

That is not at all what was said. You posted an edited version of the conversation discussing the apparent problems of men in todays climate, then once the sarcasm came through (and the unwelcomed touch) you escalated it.
You performed a stimulation of mob-mentality.
Not feeling great? Your appointment can wait. If you or your child are coming to one of our clinics but are feeling sick, please call & rebook your appointment for when you are well. Thanks for helping keep our patients and staff safe & healthy.
A parent at a Birmingham (Michigan) Board of Education meeting about mask mandates for students says “if God wanted us to cover our mouth and nose, he would have made us that way.”
A children's hospital is now offering to see adults because of the overflow from COVID-19.
Kudos to the hospital, shame on the governor.
In his haste to please trump, Abbott willfully denied science and epidemiologists' advice, encouraging 2k Texan deaths.

My drunken stepdad cut my face with a pocketknife to remind me I wasn't his child. He said "every time you look in the mirror, you'll remember."
I have one on each cheek bone.
I survived and learned what a parent *isn't*.
@atrupar
Notice how no one is upset that he liked the posts or commented. People are upset that he worked to harm and harass others for being who they are.
They never apologize for harming people with their legislative efforts.
I was filling-up just now and saw a man with a USPS hat on. I asked if he worked there and he said yes. I told him thank you and he literally teared up. He said "You have been the only one to say something nice to me today."
The USPS employees are hurting.
"One of the most disturbing images of the Covid-19 pandemic was when a teacher .. forced a mask on a crying toddler ..
In some ways, the U.S. government .. treated all of us like toddlers, compelling us to endure draconian Covid measures" -

Neither of those explanations make the crime anything less than murder.
She was carrying a weapon, misused her authority, escalated the situation, and murdered a man in his own home.
A sinkhole roughly the size of six to seven washing machines has closed the northbound lanes of State Line Road near 100th Street in Kansas City, Missouri.
13 told me his teacher told him "monkeypox is just something they are using to scare us."
13 asked for his credentials in making the assessment about orthopoxviridae.
He said "'cause I've worked on computers."
13: "those are jobs, not credentials. Call my dad."
So proud.
War on Christmas?
There's one house on my street that has a Biden sign in the yard, a staunch atheist inside, and it's the only house with lights up and a tree in the window.
It's mine.
@Jim_Jordan
You covered up molestation.
You didn't stand up to a bully when you had the opportunity. In fact, you sided with him.
You made decisions that are detrimental to everyone on the planet rather than being mildly inconvenienced a few months.
There are reasons you have the rep.
Signs to look out for in the coming months:
*Shortness of breath (dyspnea)
*A dry cough
*Fatigue
*Unexplained weight loss
*Aching muscles and joints *Widening and rounding of the tips of the fingers (clubbing)
These are the signs of pulmonary (lung)fibrosis, a sign of COVID19
Bethany Christian Services is an adoption agent taking in refugee children so thay in 6 months an "abandonment" form may be used to make them legal for adoption by Christian-only homes.
This is in line with DeVos' desire to "build god's kingdom."
They are stealing kids.
Of course

RFK Jr. floats pardons for J6ers & calls them “activists.”
RFK Jr., May 2023:
“the response to [the violent insurrection] should not be, ‘Oh, you’re unpatriotic, you’re un-American for saying that elections could be stolen.’”
@VABVOX
I appreciate the thought. I found a few families to help out and extended open invitation to them for Christmas and next TG.
I'm certainly going to change who is invited to the table from now on.
