This is an incredible documentary about #EDS #Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. I was only recently diagnosed (at 67). This is not a comedy...if you have EDS and don't want to see this, I get it. They have known about #Heds for 100 yrs...but still considered rare 🤦‍♀️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=yEev...

AN APOLOGY TO MAGA REGARDING MY DOLLY PARTON PIECE:
Dear Maga americans:
I recenetly published a substack piece entitiel "no MAGA Dolly Parton was not one of you", which offended many of you and I wanted to apologize.
I'm sorry I didn't shield you from the truth that Dolly wa a fierce LGBTQ ally and an outspoken trans supporter, while your leaders brutalize them.

I'm sorry that I reminded you that she funded vaccine research and hospitals, while your guys peddle conspiracy, cut healthcare benefits and demonize doctors.
I'm sorry I forced you to hear that she donated 300 million books to children, while your people are removing and banning them (and recently defunded her).
I'm sorry for making you deal with the hypocrisy of clamining you adored Dolly Parton, while supporting a person and party who are antithetical to everthing she stood for ,cared about and gave her money and time to.
I regret bursting your cultic bubble with the truth.
Sincerely,
John Pavlovitz

According to NYT after he was DOWN(4 shots fired) they shot again...then SIX. MORE. TIMES. (link in comments). This isn't murder. This is a WAR CRIME (as defined in Geneva Convention:willful killing of noncombatants, torture, and unlawful destruction). Does anyone else feel we are in 1938 Germany?

Biden went on the "WE'RE BACK" tour...and many heads of state told him, "BUT IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN." Biden reassured ALL of them it would not. 4 years. That's all it took for a country to FORGET. And "they" whitewashed our history in the school books in case any of us remember.

A statue of Shakyamuni Buddha sits on the right, front.
The following text is to the left of him:

"A man once asked a monk, "How do I let go of the past?"
The monk replied, "By realizing it no longer exists."
The past only lives in one place-in your mind.
Not in this moment. 
Not in reality.
Only in memory.
We don't suffer because the past is still happening...we suffer because we keep replaying it."
