I came across this secret swing on a hike and it made me think of "The Swing" by Robert Louis Stevenson:
How do you like to go up in a swing,
Up in the air so blue?
Oh, I do think it the pleasantest thing
Ever a child can do!
@JoshuaPHilll
So true. I evacuated once and the expense really added up to find a hotel hours away that would accommodate my cat, plus meals. And you can be displaced for days, weeks, or forever.
@PeterHotez
It’s terrible you have to endure the abuse from the despicable science deniers. It sounds like you have PTSD; I hope you and your family can find coping mechanisms to begin healing, not to mention protection from all the attackers. Thank you for your work.

I moved in with my mom to care for her since she had Alzheimer’s. I had videos all around the house so that I could see what she was doing, and so that if she fell, I could see how it happened, if she was OK and what part of her body hit what.
My mom has just passed. I knew it was coming, but it‘s still hits hard. It‘s been a long journey caring for her; the hardest thing I‘ve ever done, but I‘m so glad I could do it. This was her on her BD (Cinco de Mayo).

The GOP is out voting for Bernie. As I was voting in Nevada’s early caucus, a woman next to me changed her party affiliation just before voting. 🧐

This is an older link, but I felt it did a great job showing why it works best when everyone is wearing a mask. People think it's just to protect yourself, but we all need to do our part.

The sound of it is something quite atrocious. If you say it loud enough you'll always sound precocious!
Um diddle diddle diddle, um diddle ay!
Everybody is a somebody on Twitter. You have the opportunity to make someone smile. You have opportunity to teach someone something they may not have known the day before. There are accounts with hundreds of thousands of followers who don’t contribute to either.
My brother was driving down from Seattle to visit me, but I got him a room in Reno. There was no way he was going to make it all the way tonight. He sent me this pic from Hwy 395 north of Reno.

You can always tell it's a conspiracy theory when it starts out, "The MSM will not tell you this..."
There's a reason MSM won't be telling anyone this!

@SpeakerJohnson
I didn’t turn the sound on, but just watching the body language! 😳
Johnson is lying and is nervous; his body movements are exaggerated in order to convince people (+Trump). Trump is looking at Johnson like he isn’t so sure about him. He looks very angry.
“Believing the con amplifies and gives credence to the lies, which then creates a reality based on the lie, which helps bring about the very outcome you don't want.”
There may be a few who don't get it, but most do.
In 2016, lots of Trump voters may not have understood what they are voting for—but not this time.
Consider the definition of "liberal democracy" and the meaning of the slogan "Make America Great Again."

As if we don’t already have enough going on, there are more catastrophic possibilities with a trump win.

🥹 Thank you President Biden. I was caregiver for my mom, and looking back, I wonder if I did enough, but it’s a tough and exhausting job. I berate myself at times, but you have helped caregivers feel recognized and appreciated.

Everyone watch and share.
After his wife and daughter tragically died, Joe had to rely on caregivers to watch his boys as he commuted to DC.
He gets it.

He is the best. I have donated to the Texas Children's Center, and have an appointment to get the new booster in a week. He's the best thing about Texas!
Once again I lingered at my favorite spot at Laguna Lake to take in the fog rising from the lake. When I got home and was viewing my photo, I then noticed the blue heron also in the picture (on the right side at the water’s edge). A nice surprise!
The people who study Long Covid wear masks in public indoor spaces, use ventilation, etc, not because they think they're going to die in the acute phase of the infection, but because they know about LONG COVID.

@latimes
Thank you for this excellent piece
@PeterHotez
! I think the more we can emphasize your points, the more the message will trickle down to the folks who don't follow the news as closely.
This is why I still wear a mask and do all that I can to avoid COVID. I ended up catching
#Omicron
from my oral surgeon who didn't mask. Not sure I have
#LongCovid
but I've been getting cysts on my tonsils. I wish they would treat this seriously.
“In the post-vaccine, Omicron era, the odds of getting
#LongCovid
from an infection today are about one in 10. I got every shot they would give me, quickly took Paxlovid, and ended up with long COVID anyway.” —

I see this man walking his older dog in a wagon down the street almost every day. I panicked one day when I saw the man w/o the wagon and dog, but a few days later he was back with the dog. The dog had been sick but was better. ❤️🩹🥰
@StevenBeschloss
That’s a hard one today. I’m having a very hard time coming up with anything. Just think if we all shared a little kindness and empathy. It could help bind us so much more.
This is my mom and me wearing our ugly Christmas sweaters (and pandemic hair) two years ago. I just learned she has a very short time to live, so I will be heading to her bedside shortly. This will be the last Christmas I see her.

I have so much respect for Rep. Raskin. He tells it like it is, doesn't hold back, and he has so much fire even after going through so much strife in his personal life. What an inspiration.
My brother is currently visiting Germany and went to the Neuschwanstein castle today. He sent a very pretty picture of it with snow. It’s probably Germany’s most famous castle, and Disney modeled its castle after this one.

I don't think that's the case. The deer's mother was right there eating (hard to see in the video), and we have a low fence in one spot. I think it was just being a youngster with a lot of energy.
A storm cell went over me during my walk. It was sunny when I left home, then I could see it approaching. It started pouring, with mixed rain and hail and strong winds. Took the video once it let up a bit; it was too wild to manage to video.

I too voted for Warren this week in Nevada’s early caucus. Also donated to her campaign! My mom donated to Liz when she was running for the Senate. I just hope my mom lives long enough to see President Warren. ❤️

I wonder the same thing every day about my cat. All I know from the humane society is that she was found in a box with 20 other cats on a Home Depot lot. What is the story behind that?

I have thought and wondered the same thing. Obviously, there's a lot not right about her, but there's even more to it I suspect.

Very true that most people are preoccupied with themselves (or their phone). I’m dining alone tonight (celebrating my birthday) and looking forward to it!
@master_nobody
I get tired of people asking me “what do you do for fun?” Or, they ask how many friends I’ve made. They just can’t believe that I’m perfectly happy and having “fun” at home. I do get out, and do have some friends, but they always seem to think I’m bored and lonely.

I remember that day; I started following you shortly before that occurred. Portland and the US owes you a lot of gratitude; I sure appreciate all you do.
@bearvier
I’m with you. I live near Minden, site of last night’s rally. I’m furious how he’s endangering our community. I am a caregiver for my 90-year old mom who has Alzheimer’s so it’s a real threat to us.
My mom passed away the day after Xmas from Alzheimer’s. I was her caregiver for the last four years. This meme sums it up beautifully.

Trump is having a rally tonight in Minden, NV, close to where I live. This is a small town of about 3000. I’m sure many from outside the area will be going to the superspreader event, so I really worry what this will do to our area.
@RVAwonk
He's a white man. Of course he has no clue how it feels to receive the threats that women and POC, LBGTQ receive. He's so busy dishing it out as fast as he can and feeling smug about it. 🤬🤯
