I’m so sorry about Pumpkin. Animals have this way of loving you & expecting so little in return, except for food, shelter & love. I still miss my Pablo & Jackson kitties. Take the time to grieve & remember all the good times. It’ll get easier. Sending hugs.

It’s incredible to me that in the Tylenol situation, all product was pulled immediately, packaging changed immediately.
But in a viral pandemic, we can’t get people to wear masks and socially distance to help save lives all over the county. Like it’s not my responsibility.

Sigh, the neurologist is wrong on so many levels. There is no immunity debt for Covid unless he’s talking about Long Covid or worse. Covid cases are on the rise everywhere globally so continuing to mask is still a great idea. I’m not sure why so many doctors struggle with this.

Three years after police and paramedics murdered Elijah McCain, the autopsy report is amended to correctly reflect that he died from being “forcibly restrained” and injected with Ketamine. The man was just walking home from the store and his neighbors felt he looked “suspicious.”
Elijah McClain, a Black man who died after a police encounter in a Denver suburb in 2019, died because he was injected with a powerful sedative after being forcibly restrained, according to an amended autopsy report publicly released on Friday.
