Keep thinking about what that hospice nurse from TikTok says about how dying slightly dehydrated is preferable because bloat and fluid retention cause a death rattle and other painful co-morbidities ☺️

100% chance the last two weeks are the result of medical diagnosis/event that has led to him being pulled from public view 4 days ago. He’s been bucket listing for months anyway, hence the Nobel Prize fixation.

We’ve been trying thoughts and prayers for decades, buddy. Going to have to come up with a better idea than that.

So I tried it and it tasted amazing. Similar thing happened with Brussels sprouts and learning roasted they tasted hella better than boiled. Anyway, this is to say I started haunting the salad bar and ordering 3-4 veg sides in restaurants very early as a teen. Wow this edible is weird. 🤷🏻♂️

I haaated bitter greens and recall at 14 being served them at a restaurant and thinking oh shit, I’m starving and I can’t eat that. Then an adult at the table asked for malt vinegar which he put on them. Intrigued at how bitter + bitter would taste (remember I was very hungry) 2/

The edible from last night is clearly still in effect because I feel compelled to tell you a theory of mine that puberty forced me to like all vegetables. I mean, I was ok with most of them before that but the insatiable hunger of teenage boy puberty made me enjoy anything put on my plate. 1/

That Trump and Trumpism are fascist doesn’t explain the sheer vandalism of unleashing mass murdering mayhem via RFK to replace medical/scientific institutions of immense value and prestige with medieval peasant superstitions. That is a criminal madness facilitated by but above and beyond fascism.

Dear people who are saying that the CDC directors who quit yesterday should have “stayed and fought”, With all due respect, you do not grasp the magnitude of the problem of RFK Jr. He is asking them to do unethical and immoral things that will actively harm the people of the United States. 1/3

One thing that really hits you when you're directly affected by gun violence in schools is that there's nowhere to hide. Public, private, religious, whatever - unless you're going to homeschool your kids, we live in a world where they're at risk of something like this happening.
