Everyone pray for my boyfriend. There’s nothing wrong with him; he just has been putting up with my overly-emotional and very tired ass for more than two days already, and there’s still one more day in the holiday weekend.

I’ve only seen Jaws once, and I don’t remember very much about it (watched for a college course, but we watched so many movies that semester that it’s a blue). Now that it’s in theaters again, I might have to take another shot, because I’m only hearing good things.

One of the most important things healthcare systems across America can do to protect patients, and the workforce that attends to them this winter is to ensure #Covid vaccines are available to healthcare workers. That includes clinics, hospitals,and nursing homes.

A Vile Justice, the 3rd book in Lauren Haney’s Lieutenant Bak mystery series. He’s a Medjay lieutenant in ancient Egypt who solves murders. It’s not high literature, but I find it to be an entertaining and somehow comforting series.

I didn’t say that religion has caused no harm, and I’m not saying that now. What I am saying is that you don’t have to be an asshole about this. If it brings them comfort, just nod and walk away. If you don’t believe, it’s not hurting you AT ALL.

This isn’t about “thoughts and prayers,” though. This is about one person saying they’ll pray for you if you’re having a hard time. That is not harmful. It’s just a way of showing support to someone you know, especially if they don’t have the resources to help otherwise.

Let’s say this again. Read this carefully, line-by-line, so you don’t forget. Gender affirming care is not harmful to patients. In fact, it’s actually shown to REDUCE rates of suicide in transgender people by up to 70%.
