I don't go as often as you, but I see my oncologist's nurses regularly and they are wonderful, as are at least 90% of the nurses with whom I have interacted - and I have interacted with a lot, as I have been sick all my life. They regularly see my mask and grab one for themselves, without asking.

Thanks, Dan! I took a closer look at a lot of it, and I'm especially happy to see the new Says Who merch.

Anybody who is like “Piracy is activism!”—trust me, supporting your local library is about 1000% more effective activism, and it’s still free for you and authors still get paid!

I didn't get a chance to answer this earlier, but I feel SO SMART if I figure it out in advance. And it also means that the writer put in some good clues.

I love it when my friends get out of treatment and enter survivorship. I really do. But sometimes hearing them talk about it twists a little, in the places of my mind I don't really talk about. So, yeah, I get it.

The other day I was at the store in my wheelchair, and a little kid said hi to me, which I liked. Usually there is a lot of staring (honestly also fine) but the actual interaction was pleasant.

I don't love it when people refer to bad things as a cancer. Even more fun when they take the metaphor further and invoke metastasis.
