We could also accept Rhonda Sandtits.
Issues with fine motor control. They've gotten worse as I've gotten older.

I object to statins. If you read the list of potential side-effects, they can be pretty rotten, and while they do lower your numbers, the reduction in actual heart disease is laughable. Something like 2.5%. And they keep lowering the threshold where statins are pushed on people.

My GP doesn't like that I want to read the data sheet on medications, and have opinions about them. Hey, it's my body, it works pretty well for me, most of the time, before you start me on something you say I'm going to be taking for the rest of my life, I want some information, and I'll weight the pros and cons and get back to you.

When I went in for gout, the doctor acted like she thought I was exaggerating, until she examined me. Then she told me I should be rolling around screaming, not limping into her exam room.
If it hadn't gotten to the point I couldn't stand the weight of a bedsheet on my foot, I wouldn't have gone in when I did.
They don't call them that, but if it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck...
@ScottSoCal They also have a bunch parked in an old closed down mall lot near me where they regularly film the dystopian Zombie Walking Dead series. At first I thought it was strange, but now it seems quite normal.
Today is the 102nd anniversary of a horror that took place in my hometown, the #TulsaRaceMassacre, in which several thousand White citizens and authorities attacked and murdered a still-unknown number of Black residents and destroyed 35 square blocks of "Black Wall Street." Never forget. #Tulsa #History #Race #Greenwood #BlackWallStreet

Sharing this email I received from March For Our Lives. So exciting!
Itβs finally happening! πππ₯³
Four years of class, cram sessions, and waaaay too many skipped school days to join us in the fight for gun safety, David is officially graduating college as part of Harvardβs Class of 2023!! π
In 2018, David was just another teenager in Parkland, Florida. Then, the unthinkable happened at his high school. He helped shine a light on that horrifying day and joined his classmates in sparking a global movement to end gun violence. Five years later, and a college degree wiser, heβs still with us in the fight and the movement is as strong as ever.
We couldn't be more thankful for his fierce advocacy for gun safety all while juggling the responsibilities of being a college student.
We want to wish David a happy graduation and let him know how proud we are of his accomplishments.
ποΈSign our graduation card to congratulate David and send him a warm message
Thanks for joining in. Weβll compile everyone's signatures and messages so we can send David a special congratulations.
In solidarity,
March For Our Lives

Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing.
