Measles looks like this. My mother’s left hand, wasted by a bout of measles in the early 1940’s.

Mom lost use of her left hand and wrist. Grandma taught her how to knit and play the piano, thru which Mom regained most use of her wrist as well as her pinkie, ring, & middle fingers.

My mother, who died last October at 90, contracted measles in 1939. Measles wasted the muscles in her left hand and wrist.

Welp, tariffs ain’t gonna help with food prices.

Groceries, such a beautiful word. A bag with things in it.

As I’ve shared elsewhere, this is my Mom’s left hand. This is not arthritis. Mom had measles around the age of 5. Measles can also waste muscles. It left her with no use of her hand and wrist. My grandmother taught her to knit and play the piano-she got use of 3 fingers back.

Measles can also maim. This is my mother’s left hand. This is not caused by arthritis. She had measles around the age of 5, and the disease wasted the muscles in her hand. She regained use of three fingers after my grandmother taught her how to knit and play the piano.

COBOL, srsly. The goal is to impoverish the nation to the point where we can barely afford the cell phone they use to track and indoctrinate us. I see TikTok influencers on “The best vintage of Thunderbird to serve with Alpo.”

Honey, you’re tanking the best post-Covid economy in the world. Watch for dropping yield curves and a drop in the value of the dollar, all of which makes it cheaper for the rich to borrow.

Ignoring the less than 2% of what crosses the Canadian border, hey, China? Where fentanyl is manufactured? Oh, wait, this is just an excuse to act against brown people.

Spouse has to be mainly keto, so eggs iz important. Sweetie, you can’t blame your broken campaign promises on Biden, he ain’t prez. But you can blame your chosen ignorance of science.

This is my mother’s left hand. No, this isn’t arthritis - #measles can cause muscle wasting. She lost the use of her hand after contracting the disease in the late 1930’s. She got the use of 3 fingers back from learning to #knit and play the piano.

Happy #Caturday.
