Random thoughts from a mid 50s male

1. The rapist probably didn't wear a condom

2. Condoms don't always work

3. Child abusers don’t wear condoms

4. She probably didn't think at the time that it could kill her

5. None of your business

6. All of the above

7. 5. Is probably the correct answer

This really makes me scream, our mental health system is in crisis. To all the wonderful nurses, doctors, counsellors, pyschologists & social workers filling the gaps thank you.

Mental health matters 🙌

2/2 Texas & Georgia stopped investigating maternal deaths now. Do the math. How many women will die & we won’t get that data? 😭 We must demand that women’s lives & deaths MATTER! Call your representatives! Demand Justice!

“Fleetwood Mac without Peter Green is just another band.“

I love Rumours, but this is a completely correct statement.
Not even close.

How about Pet Sounds?

Let It Bleed?

And never overlook Birth Of The Cool

Fleetwood Mac without Peter Green is just another band.

A decade of health-facility admin, I was honestly shocked by how many "qualified" staff were kooky AF ... anti-vax, anti-pharma, anti-choice, etc. They are potentially dangerous in a variety of physical / mental health situations that aren't especially uncommon. #Science #BestPractice #Healthcare
