I prefer to run.
Somehow I made it out the door this morning and to my first #ParkRun ! I didn’t sleep well the night before so I struggled a bit, but finished. It was also nice to have breakfast outside with some of the people after.
Thanks for inspiring me @TheBreadmonkey .

A disaster waiting to happen. Built in eight days using tents and trailers, in a hurricane area, without proper sanitation.... and the list goes on. This is madness.

A pregnant physician who was denied a Covid-19 vaccine is suing the Trump administration alongside a group of leading doctors associations, charging that the administration sought to “desensitize the public to anti-vaccine and anti-science rhetoric”, according to their attorney.

The lawsuit specifically takes aim at health secretary Robert F Kennedy’s unilateral decision to recommend against Covid-19 vaccines for pregnant women and healthy children.

@Redfuchs the Frau once saw someone get asked "you've been married for X years! What's the secret to making it last?"

And the answer that person gave was that them and their partner never wanted to divorce both at the same time

That's kind of cheekily self evident but it stuck with us due to its simple rawness. A relationship is a life you build together and those are made of everyday victories and struggles. There's no magic, there's mutua lovel care and work. It's being accomplices in life

@Redfuchs Sigh. Okay, I promised to do the dishes..
@Redfuchs So true and not just for your life partner but also for those close friends you journey through life with
@Redfuchs this is so true and also reminds me of this wonderful comic, which I treasure very much.

@wurzelmann @Redfuchs
I keep hearing the phrase "It's always been you" in film and music and now, comics. And I am obsessed with it! The meaning has morphed in the past 20 years from being a high-romance indicator of finding "the one" into a huge red flag

"It's you. It's always you. It's always been you." now means "I am obsessed with the romantic ideal of you, but not you as a real person."

@wurzelmann @Redfuchs She didn’t cause the swelling by her actions, accidental or deliberate? I hope she didn’t. ;)
@dmbaturin @wurzelmann @Redfuchs Let's just say that love can be expressed in all sorts of ways, and leave it at that.
@KatS @dmbaturin @wurzelmann @Redfuchs And as long as those ways are consensual, it's just fine.
@Redfuchs Daily goal: Make your wife laugh.
@AdaraAstin @Redfuchs Yeah, this is awesome, indeeed it is not always unicorns and rainbows, it is indeeed sometimes really hard, really sad sometimes, but I wouldn't give it up for the world.
@Redfuchs Love is consent to being vulnerable with someone else. If there’s no consent, it’s anxiety.

@Redfuchs And yeah sometimes relationships are difficult and people are going through and trying to make it up to each other.

There’s usually a lot of work to do to, errm, fix the anxiety induced by abrahamic religions. But if you don’t consent to being vulnerable with someone else, that’s probably what you’re supposed to address.

@Redfuchs

I've made what I feel like is a delightful habit of asking the wife near-daily, "You feel like being married?"

Just a check-in on the regular that we're still OK and we _both_ want to keep doing this thing.

It's the furthest thing from romantic but it's heartfelt, every time.

@Redfuchs Reminds me of a Darren Hanlon song I like, ‘let’s grow old together, we will weather it together you and me’
@Redfuchs I don't know if this is a real quote, but I've seen the phrase "choosing [a person] again and again" or "choosing [a person] daily" in genAI outputs a lot, so either it comes up a lot in the data set (like I suppose "It's always been you" would) and I feel sorry for the original author or this too was AI generated, in which case I also feel sorry for the original authors.
