@jonstewart@AnimalHaven I’m so sorry for your family’s loss. From one pit bull rescue person to another, thank you for helping to spread the message that they are among the bestest family dogs. Here’s my Remy, transported North from a high-kill shelter in Louisiana, with his bestest kid.
@MomPedBlog I got Moderna and flu shots Wednesday evening, had some mild-ish symptoms from my immune system responding appropriately (headache, nausea, fatigue, malaise) from about 12 hours to 48 hours post. Not fun, but much better than the flu and COVID, in my experience.
@Pink suffice it to say that you made my 8 year-old’s first concert experience a memorable one! You blew us away. “I am Here” in the rain was pure joy. Lots of love to you!
@1capplegate Have you and @lindacardellini ever thought about doing a podcast together? You could do something similar to @officeladiespod related to Dead to Me, but I also know that you 2 could make a very entertaining and valuable show discussing just about anything. Much love to you both.
@fb4lifefan @KristinMink_ The great thing is, if you don’t want to take your child to that kind of event, you don’t have to. But FWIW, many of us want our children to learn about all of the diverse and wonderful ways people can live life as their authentic selves.
@GaryParizher@JReinerMD Yeah; that’s the primary exception that came to my mind too. It’s pretty important for loved ones to understand that brain death = death, even with a beating heart.
A cop in North Carolina was illegally speeding down the road at 90 mph before he crashed into U.S. Air Force veteran Christine Harris, 57, and killed her. There is no toxicology report on the cop and the city of Fayetteville hasn't pressed charges against Officer Jonathan Fambro.
Today my great grandmother, Lily Ebert, an Auschwitz survivor, turns 99!
“I never thought I would survive Auschwitz and have another birthday. At 99, I celebrate to show that the Nazis did not win!”
All #HappyBirthdayLily wishes and comments will be passed on to Lily. ❤️
@ridingonchromes @UjuAnya @JavidTenzin No, that’s not correct. An actual functioning heart responds to those electrical impulses by contracting & ejecting blood to generate a pulse. Hearts that have previously functioned can also have electrical activity that doesn’t lead to pulse (“PEA”) which cannot sustain life.
@UjuAnya @JavidTenzin You’re wrong, I’m 100% pro-choice but the 4 chambers of the fetal heart are present by gestational week 7. Here is a peer reviewed paper on the topic; https://t.co/iXqKSbGLeW
@DanielleCandela I learned somewhat early into knitting/crocheting that it’s rarely worth the work of making these things. Unless the person specifically says what they would love (pattern/yarn type/color), it’s just not worth it, I think.
