If anyone needs a refresher on the history of the confederate flag (+ meaning) @KenBurns made an amazing docuseries about the civil war.

Kidnapping of women and children. Open murder of tens of thousands of people. No one protesting, no one marching, no one podcasting their indignation. Nigeria matters just as much as the rest of the world, and this slaughter needs to stop.

Did You Know? A Cesarean section is the only surgery where five layers of tissue are carefully opened—and just six hours later, the mother is expected to stand up and care for a newborn . All while enduring painful uterine contractions, caused by the natural release of oxytocin

I need someone near Hoboken who has a flatbed to contact me immediately for absolutely no reason do not say anything to my husband

Ok here’s the question; if I have a layover @ ORD but don’t have enough time to leave the airport, can @AureliosPizza be able to make a delivery to me if I run out to the front? (Begging as a lifelong fan…)

I asked @grok this question, unsure of what the answer would be. The answer was compassionate, insightful, detailed and illuminating. What an astonishing resource. “Grok, what can you tell me that will give me hope about the future as someone who is fighting breast cancer?”

Just reading an article about @NPR and remembered, with great fondness, that they used to host a show called “Car Talk”. The stars went on to be part of the movie “Cars” - a cinematic masterpiece without flaw. I miss that kind of good radio.

Today’s challenge; find the Excedrin Migraine in the grocery store. Ironically, giving me a bit of a migraine…

Her children flourished

I am in a medical waiting room with about 15 other people. Roughly 3/4 of them have decided to eschew headphones, yet still make phone calls and watch videos as loud as their wee phones will allow. Each person is frustrated that they are unable to hear clearly. Fascinating.

Removal of the tubes after a radical mastectomy at age 36. They healed at an angle so the surgeon had to pull very hard to remove.

Dear @WellsFargo - you have a gentleman named John in your midtown office who is patient, wise, kind, reassuring, efficient and overall a good egg. Well done on that hire.

On a flight with my kiddo and the Carrie Fisher appreciation runs deep with us…

Stan Makita.

I have adored Dr Malkas for decades. She is a superhero of a cancer researcher, and also an incredibly kind person. She’s the real deal.

In honor of Bucky Barnes, me and my friend share a fun shot of our superhero arms…sadly, not made in Wakanda. #breastcancer #superheroes @Marvel @MarvelStudios

This is the kind of tweet we all need right now. Yay.

Do not make fun of people with disabilities. Do. Not. It shows you *lack* empathy, compassion, wisdom and base-level humanity. Your politics don’t matter, your love does.

Many years ago, I put in a call to ask for financial guidance; we were in horrific debt due to cancer treatments…no advice was given. Cancer (and many other medical areas) cause irreversible toxic financial situations.
