@abgutman Thank you so much for wanting to write it and for the care you took in doing so.

[Abraham Gutman @abgutman]

Every time I write an obituary I go through a small existential crisis. The process forces you to confront the finality of death. There are just so many questions that could be so easily answered by the person who passed away, and yet they are the ones you can no longer ask.

.@Vanguard_Group needs to take true stewardship seriously and invest for a livable future - for its customers and for all of us. Right-wing politicians and troubled corporations want investors to ignore the risks of volatile industries like fossil fuels. But climate risk is real.

No matter who you are, now matter where you are: MAKE A PLAN FOR NOV 8TH.
THEN: grab 2 people and ask them to do the same.
We can't afford to have ANYONE sit this out: too much is on the line.
Get an election party together to go to the polls on Nov 8th (or before!)

Update: a neighbor says they were going to move the trolley from trolley car diner to Wayne Junction but power lines too low. Helicopters were news. Oh Philly.

Hovering helicopters over NW Philadelphia 6am. What’s up Philly? @NBCPhiladelphia @CBSPhiladelphia

[EarthQuakerActionTeam @eqat]

Happening now: Friends from Central Philly Monthly Meeting hang banners over 676 connecting @Vanguard_Group’s investment in fossil fuels & the climate disasters it’s complicit in if it doesn’t deal with its climate problem.

CDC approved updated boosters.
The biggest ? I'm getting is a) safety (they're SAFE!); & b) timing.
Ideal immunologic response is at least 4-6mo post prior vaccine: 2-3mo post infxn. But this can depend on ind'l situations.
Have ?'s-plz ask, I will DM you!
