My answer is pretty much always going to be ‘yes’ when the question is ‘Do you want more morphine?’ #hospice

Need longer Murderbot episodes. Maybe hire some of those British tv show writers that write those 90 minutes episodes to bulk them up a bit. 22 minutes episode, I barely get settled and it’s over.

Told my home health aide that I might be ‘going on will call’ soon. Meant to say ‘going on hospice’. I think both work.

Hi #KidLitArtPostcard! Once upon a time in Korea, there was a tiny sickly stray puppy. A scary tiger spotted the puppy & thought she’ll make an easy snack. But the unexpectedly feisty puppy kept running in & out of rabbit holes in the ground, making fun of the tiger. (1/?)

On May 11, 1950, while working on the Rawlins National Bank in Wyoming, a construction crew unearthed a whiskey barrel that contained a human skeleton with its skull cap sawed off & an odd pair of shoes. Dr. Lillian Heath, now in her 80s, was asked if she knew anything about it...🧵

Some of you have seen the REALTOR© dot com outrage porn about this Florida couple that did some renovations to their house and unexpectedly! and unfairly! had their property taxes go up 6x. This is reactionary propaganda by scammers. We'll explore why later. www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/pr...

Thought I might share a life story from a few months ago to brighten your day. Back in March, I spotted a raccoon on the side of the interstate that had very clearly been run over. I pulled over thinking I’d have to put it out of its misery. We ended up becoming good friends.

As a former child junior olympic-level runner, I have a few thoughts on the attacks on trans girls in sports. I ran for one of the most competitive teams in Southern California, and people who ran for my have gone on to become professional athletes. And these bans: they're fucking NONSENSE. 🧵

DOGE/SSA marked this person dead and *removed his savings from his bank account,* cancelled his social security and Medicare. #seattle www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/p…
The Seattle Times
"There's nothing you need to do - we've deducted the funds from LEONARD A.
JOHNSON's account."
Uh oh. It itemized how $5,201 had been stricken from their bank account, on the grounds that Ned wasn't justified to get those benefits - because he was dead.
That was for payments he'd received in December and January.
Ned found that his February Social Security check hadn't been paid, and he's yet to receive his March check, either. His Medicare insurance had been canceled.
He also learned that when you die, your credit score gets marked as "deceased, do not issue credit," which makes it tough to get a loan.

Sitting in this hospital bed feeling terrible but sometimes they play a little lullaby tune over the sound system and it means a baby was just born and that’s kind of nice. Though I regret this world we have made for them.

Seeing quite a lot of panic about this news: if VRBPAC doesn't issue recommendations about the strains for the 2025-2026 season, vaccine manufacturers will just use WHO's recommendations. The lack of US input would mean, at most, a less tailored vaccine, but it's guesswork anyway.
