When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things

The letter social media claimed is from 270 doctors denouncing Joe Rogan & calling to censor his speech was actually signed by over 50 PhD academics, around 60 college professors, 29 nurses, 10 students, 4 medical residents, and even a handful of… science podcasters.

Today I celebrate 14200 days of being a woman. I miscarried a baby girl to discover I had cancer. During chemo I took care of my 4 children. I had a fifth beautiful baby after doctors told me chemo would make me infertile. I am proud of what my body, with all its scars, has done.
Today I celebrate 21,990 days of being a woman. I've had 4 beautiful kids . I had periods so bad I passed out, endometriosis surgery and survived rape.
I have held my dying son and cried the anguish only a woman knows after losing a child they birthed.
