🌸 Bat & Fairy Convertible Bag 🌸 Have you wanted a cute bag that can be worn as a backpack, crossbody bag & waist bag? That can be attached to mobility aids. That's what I've designed. They have custom zipper pulls & padded space for a tablet. What do you think? Details below!

I think it's time to add a mobility aid. I have a cane that I rarely use because my hands and wrists hurt so much. I read a review about Smart Crutches that they help that person much more than a rollator and that they can do so much more with them. Does anyone have hEDS & PsA & have any input?

Breast cancer diagnoses rose by over 300% between 1973 and 1992. Was there a breast cancer epidemic?! NO. Mammograms were implemented for screening in 1976. PREVALENCE is a function of being able to correctly diagnose something. This is also about autism.

For herd immunity against measles, 92-95% of the population must be vaccinated. As a live vaccine MMR can’t be given to pts who are immune suppressed (including pts receiving chemo/radiation or immunosuppression) And it’s not effective in newborns. So if you CAN get it, we REALLY need you to.

A barred owl sits on the branch of a magnolia tree at the center of the photo. Its eyes are mostly closed and its breast feathers are being gently blown by a breeze. The background is filled with blue sky and blooming pink magnolia flowers, with little bits of sunlight peeking through.

And the empathy leak has spread to the point where people report a lack of masking in places where it was a standard pre-pandemic, like literal cancer wards and NICUs. If you teach people not to care about others, it doesn’t stay confined. It’s another pandemic.
