@wordyanchorite.bsky.social Thought you'd enjoy this-visiting my MIL, going through the usual routine...
"Does that say Rolex?"
"Let me zoom in on my camera. Timex, it says Timex."

In her defense, she did share a Rolex with me next."🙃

Thirty original paintings by Bob Ross will be available for sale beginning next month through the auction house Bonhams, the artist's estate said. The proceeds will benefit public TV stations that have been grappling with funding cuts by the Trump administration.

Someone told me recently that part of the writing process is THINKING about writing. Nobody sits and writes immediately at the computer. And I wish they had told me that 3 years ago when this all started and I was feeling anxious, lazy, and ashamed of NOT doing so

But its true. Let your mind THINK.

Pope Leo is spitting.

www.npr.org/2025/10/09/n...

Leo questioned a world where the wealth of the elite grows
"exponentially" while many "millions of people die of hunger or survive in conditions unfit for human beings." He also criticized "ideologies that defend the absolute autonomy of the marketplace and financial speculation,"
with false promises "that a free-market economy will automatically solve the problem of poverty."

Leo described a "new tyranny," which shuns any kind of oversight and where the economy is structured "in such a way that sacrifices are demanded of the masses in order to serve the needs of the powerful." The poor, he wrote, are only allowed "drops that trickle down."

The pope openly challenged "prosperity theology" and called Christians to the practice of giving charity. "It will not solve the problem of world poverty, yet it must still be carried out, with intelligence, diligence and social responsibility," he wrote.

Popular movements that challenge "the empire of money," invite people to take on the cause to combat poverty alongside the poor, instead of on their behalf, and "make history," the pope said. It our duty, Leo said, to "make their voices heard, albeit in different ways, in order to point out and denounce such structural issues, even at the cost of appearing foolish or naïve."

This year’s flu vaccine - about 50% effective
AND may cut healthcare visits & hospitalizations in HALF 🤯
(That’s HUGE! ’specially for those with chronic diseases or older than 65yo.)

#Altcomms 🔗 bsky.app/profile/altc...

(Can you tell we love this campgin & really miss our CDC comms ppl?!)

Green background. WildtoMild campaign. This one shows a crocodile (wild) and a cute lil’ gekko (maybe? lizard? it’s yellow and small and cute) (mild). It says “A Flu Vaccine can take Flu from Wild to Mild. If you have an underlying condition, talk to your provider about a flu vaccine. #Fight Flu” from the CDC

✨ EVERYONE age 6 months & up should get their flu shot ✨

Yes, even our healthy kids.
Recent MMWR: more kids died last year from flu than in any other non-pandemic season since 2004 (when first reportable)

Kids should NOT die from flu
#FightFlu #VaccinesWorks

Yep, some more WildtoMild PR campaign flyers! This one is purple with a Rhino (Wild) and a cute lil’ unicorn play thing (mild). The text says “A flu vaccine can take flu from Wild ot mild” #FightFlu from the CDC

It’s flu season! Get your shot today 💉

(Remember when “get your flu shot” came with great PSAs instead of conspiracy threads?)

This was SUCH a great campaign from the CDC. It’s the Wild to mild vaccine. This poster shows a tiger and a cute little cat. The wording says “A flu vaccine can take flu from Wild to mild”
More info here about this fabulous campaign: https://www.cdc.gov/flu/whats-new/2023-2024-new-campaign-wild-to-mild.html?CDC_AA_refVal=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cdc.gov%2Fflu-resources%2Fphp%2Fshareable-resources%2Findex.html
