Don’t waste your life worrying about what people think. Worrying about your body. Worrying about a wrinkle.
Live your life fully. Care for others. Show kindness. Be kindness.

@denisewu You got that right.
After only one year of Taliban rule, girls and women have almost disappeared from Afghan society. They are not allowed to travel, to work alone, to go to public parks, to talk or laugh in public, and they are not allowed to study and to go to school... Photo: Boushra Almutawakel

Tomorrow is two years since we lost Beans to brain cancer. We'd be honored in having your support in remembering her with a $24 donation to the Team Beans Infant Brain Tumor Fund.

Every dollar directly supports childhood cancer research at Dana-Farber.

I'm raising funds to conquer cancer.

Support my efforts to benefit Dana-Farber and the Jimmy Fund.

Henrietta Lacks was a poor, Black, young mother diagnosed cervical cancer in 1951. When her cells were collected w/o consent, scientists saw they multiplied fast.

“HeLa” cells changed #science. They’re used globally to study viruses, drugs, hormones, genes, diseases & develop vaccines. Lacks passed away at 31 w no recognition.

Rebecca Skloot’s beautiful book about her life & legacy is changing that. Now her statue will replace Robert E. Lee in VA. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/20/us/henrietta-lacks-statue-roanoke-virginia.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare #history #HistoryRemix

A Statue of Henrietta Lacks Will Replace a Monument to Robert E. Lee

The statue, scheduled to be erected next fall in Roanoke, Va., is part of a local project to recognize Black history in community spaces.

Republicans now warning that releasing Trump’s tax returns could mean releasing Supreme Court justices’ tax returns.

Exactly. For example, Americans deserve to know who paid off Brett Kavanaugh’s $92,000 country club balance, $200,000 in credit card debt, and $1,200,000 mortgage.

@[email protected] Beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
@[email protected] Welcome to Mastodon. I look forward to hearing more from you.
Since Twitter is becoming increasingly hostile towards those that just want to share information about Russia’s war against Ukraine, I am finally going to begin the process of moving here and setting up shop In hopes of making it my primary platform for publishing.
It’s difficult enough living and working in a war zone. The arbitrary rules imposed on my Twitter posts unnecessarily add to that difficulty at a time when I no longer have the time and mental bandwidth to deal with it. My Twitter account will remain active, however I will not censor or remove innocuous content that has retroactively been deemed in violation of their arbitrary TOS changes. If it is suspended, so be it. I will not advocate for its restoration.
But enough about that nonsense. Let’s move forward.
