@elgus503 I agree with a pro-choice stance, but there is too much "owning" the other side imo. I'd rather see dialogue which wins converts if possible. Owning eliminates the gray areas and forces one to pick a side, often emotionally, without information.

The ripple effect of the pandemic will be felt long after COVID is under control.

[Arielle Levin Becker @ariellelb]

"Deaths from COVID have been unexpected, untimely, particularly painful, and, in many cases, preventable.

"The pandemic has replaced community with isolation, empathy with judgment, and opportunities for healing with relentless triggers."

@ThurlowClifford I would love to be bored by peace on Earth.

@ariellelb This happens more than one thinks.

@ThurlowClifford What a powerfully written article.

Writing of the home they love, beautiful and heartbreaking.

@ThurlowClifford This is sad but true.

@ariellelb Many of these inequalities didn't occur to me. I thankful to have read this. Being informed and involved helps everyone!

@ariellelb I grew up in Chicago and didn't know that!

"What matters to you?" is one of the most important questions a health care provider can ask a patient.

(As a patient, I've only heard it a few times. The docs who asked are the ones I valued the most.)

Iraqi artist ⁦@FuratalJamil⁩ - the fragment of her decades old carpet ruined by war and sanctions now blooms with crocheted flowers and veins of coral, lapis lazuli and turquoise. Still beautiful she says but what is damaged in war can never be the same.

@ThurlowClifford I think Putin has made a major miscalculation and has much more to lose than gain. They will not occupy any major Ukrainian cities.

Two months before my first book was published, Dad died. I hadn't thought of an afterword until writing this and realizing what a miracle my life has been. If you like what you read, and sign up, you'll receive essays I might not post to social media.
