Not sure what's going on with medical reporting at ABC, but for 86 yo with a fatal underlying illness an "unexpected" death is both expected and a blessing. Bone pain is no joke in this setting. An autopsy would've probably shown why. Read up before fanning the flames ABC.

I would add, protect your brain. Don't go under anaesthesia for anything other than a life threatening condition. Have the confidence to age naturally. Be the dignified elder lady you were meant to be. Wear your self worth as a mantle of experience, knowledge, and achievement.

To avoid confronting childhood trauma, Jane chooses a marriage of convenience with the town doctor. Unepected attraction blooms, but the doctor's dark secrets soon interfere with their happiness. Medical horror with ghosts, math, and gore aplenty. #booksky #bookreview #horror #althistory

A new perspective on the issue.

Remember, if a guy complains about how women are dressed “immodestly,” he still has too many eyeballs. He’s the one who needs “more work done.” I bet it’d only take twenty plucked eyeballs before they start minding their own damn business. Forty tops. That’s herd immunity, folks! Be consistent!

Dark, conservative money has targeted at Colorado's Amendment 87. The amendment would impose a graduated income tax rate on businesses and individuals, increasing the tax burden on those earning more than about $500,000. It's as if the GOP represents corporations and the wealthy. #Colorado #politics

Supported by the very best!

It was an honor to serve President Obama as an advisor in the White House and I am humbled to have his support as I campaign to serve as Colorado’s next Governor. 👇

Coloradans: Vote NO on Amendment 83. Amendment 83 is the product of out-of-state special interests, led by an international trophy-hunting groups and the far-right Turning Point USA. These groups have poured more than $2 million into the campaign to pass Amendment 83... #colorado #politics #vote

Bears could be killed during springtime when they’re weak from hibernation. These are methods that Coloradans have already banned themselves. Lead bullets are another “traditional method” that if allowed would secondarily kill animals (like birds of prey) that feed on carrion...

Amendment 83's undefined "traditional methods" language could be used in court to challenge existing bans and reopen the door to cruel and harmful practices, which is precisely the goal of it's proponents. (Thanks for the heads up, Bobbie).

The goal of these out-of-state special interests is to undermine the authority of Colorado Parks and Wildlife officials to conduct science-based management of Colorado's wildlife resources and enshrine a "right to hunt" into the Colorado Constitution...

Hunting, fishing, and "traditional methods" would be declared the "preferred means" of managing wildlife. The deliberately vague phrase: "traditional methods" protects controversial and cruel practices such as bait lures, pack hounds, and steel-jawed leghold and body-gripping traps and snares...

In an enormous noisy city, in which a substantial portion of locals do not enunciate, in a packed caffè where orders are hollered out over the crowd, perhaps we can do without loud house music. Especially at 9AM. Just a thought.

I'm really glad ActBlue is being investigated. After all, the republicans never ever take foreign donations, no crypto investments, no planned, no weddings. Nothing. Halos of innocence all around.

My favourite internet wrongness was a guy who was convinced that coal was a renewable resource because it had formed naturally.

One of my favorite cases of someone being Wrong on the Internet was a very earnest, very confused vegan who was telling people how cruel honey is; and it eventually turned out they thought honey was made by putting bees in a centrifuge and spinning them around until they threw up.

During an alternate World War I, scientists race to build evermore powerful weaponized rejuvenated corpses. One woman takes to the job with over much enthusiasm. Medical horror novella with no regard to universal precautions. #horror #booksky #scifi #bookreview

I know a guy. He needs someone who can build him a website on Wix. He needs it to integrate with printify. He’s looking for someone right NOW. I can introduce the two of you, but I’m not negotiating rates or anything. Lemme know right away. Fell free to share this.

A knight, a sorceress, and a deposed princess in hiding struggle to survive in a castle under seige. Then help arrives in the form of gods. Or are these gods monsters? Highly recommended #fantasy #horrot #medieval #booksky #bookreview

This is our local representative. Highly worthy supporting. We need more people like this in DC.

A pregnant woman and a loosely affiliated group of strangers hides from horrifying creatures in a house. One glimpse of a creature means madness, so outside, blindfolds are mandatory. Survival, cosmic horror, found family, and motherhood. Also a Netflix show. #booksky #bookreview #horror

It's also been curious how many people were not able to accept the economic fallout that followed covid. Or that science and caution averted a worldwide disaster. Of course in the DNR medical teams are being attacked so...

Denis - The COVID Info Guy@thecovidinfoguy.bsky.social

"If those studies are right, wouldn't we be seeing an effect right the way across society?" Wow, the denial runs deep. I'm gobsmacked too. Like, they literally just listed all the symptoms people have—and then asked where is the proof? You can’t make this stuff up.🤦‍♂️ Source: x.com/1goodtern/st...

Optimist: the cup is half full. Pessimist: the cup is half empty. Forensic pathologist: either way, the half cup was inadequate to sustain life, and both the patients succumbed.

A college dropout and a samuri's daughter commune through a bricked up closet. But who is a ghost and who is a murderer, and why does this old house feel...off? Mystery, horror, and healing. Highly recommended. #booksky #horror #fantasy #bookreview

My name is Stella and I cannot say the word "breakfast" properly under any circumstances. It's always been "breakfrist". I also infected my son with this pronounciation.

My name is Christa and I have never once in my life managed to spell "fuchsia" correctly without looking it up.
