This is one of my favorite places just to sit, relax, take in the scenery. And in the spring, with the wildflowers, it's a bonus!
This is the East side of Mt. Hood in Oregon.

Mt. Hood in the springtime. Mt. Hood is in the background, and in the foreground is grass with blue wildflowers.

Escarpment.

The south island of New Zealand offers so many wonderful hiking experiences. This image is from one mountain top looking across to it's neighbour probably 1000 metres away.
It's Monday here, so this is my bit for #MountainMonday

An accident, illness, or diagnosis can derail a person's ability to work at any time. In fact, nearly one in four workers starting out today will experience a significant disabling event during their working life.

Verbal speech is not the pinnacle of communication. Communicating is about understanding and being understood. There is no requirement that this needs to happen through verbal speech.

These 10 states will LOSE 250K jobs which = 3/4 of the jobs lost in the U.S. for NOT funding ACA Subsidies. Not only will employment weaken in these states but their residents will spend more of their INCOME on health insurance. 7 of these 10 states did NOT expand Medicaid & RELY on ACA Marketplace!

Peter Morley ♿️ @petermorley.bsky.social · 6h

NOT extending ACA subsidies will ALSO cause state economies to PLUMMET $41B.

339,100 jobs will be LOST due to health care providers being FORCED to reduce their workforces. 50% of job LOSSES will be health care–related & HIGHER in states where MORE residents are enrolled in an ACA marketplace plan.

State-Level Impact of NOT renewing ACA Subsidies:

We also produced economic estimates for each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia, shown in Exhibit 1. Following are some highlights:

Losses will be higher in states where more residents are enrolled in an ACA marketplace plan. The 10 states with the most projected jobs lost are:
Texas: 83,400
Florida: 57,500
Georgia: 33,600
California: 20,300
South Carolina: 13,100
Tennessee: 12,300
Alabama: 9,100
Louisiana: 7,000
North Carolina: 6,900
Mississippi: 6,700.

Someone tell this dipshit MMR is not available in a 3 shot option and sure those of us who pay co pays per visit will pay 5 times the amount for vaccines.

I’ll take my medical advice from health experts and my doctor not an 78 year old demented guy who barely graduated college.

complete batshit insanity

Pregnant Women, DON’T USE TYLENOL UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY, DON’T GIVE TYLENOL TO YOUR YOUNG CHILD FOR VIRTUALLY ANY REASON, BREAK UP THE MMR SHOT INTO THREE TOTALLY SEPARATE SHOTS (NOT MIXED!), TAKE CHICKEN P SHOT SEPARATELY, TAKE HEPATITAS B SHOT AT 12 YEARS OLD, OR OLDER, AND, IMPORTANTLY, TAKE VACCINE IN 5 SEPARATE MEDICAL VISITS!

Be content with modeling civility and compassion

Can one conversation really change anything? How do you reach someone whose worldview feels miles apart from your own—or who’s convinced secret cabals & shadow governments control everything? What’s the point of talking to people whose beliefs seem impossible to move?

Because Kirk was murdered, it is difficult for some to be honest about how he spent his life. Kirk radicalized young people, which is grotesque. He whitewashed slavery, spread racial hatred, vilified vulnerable people, attacked the rightsof people of color, women, and the LGBTQ community.

He orders extrajudicial killings. He sent troops into our cities. He terrorizes citizens with ICE raids. He raised taxes without congressional approval. He has ruined American farmers and ranchers. He plans to starve the vulnerable. He demolished our house.

Remove him from office.
