Long time nurse/nurse practitioner: patients are wonderful, its the healthcare system that will drive you mad. Couldn’t survive without my cats. I have a list of things to cook before I die.
Horrifying
This is purpura fulminans, a severe complication of meningitis (which as of today is no longer on our universal vaccine schedule)
Micro clots & bleeding into the skin cause skin & tissue death. It’s more common in kids & associated with 20-70% mortality.
Those who survive often lose limbs.

Me too, but I did shovel first….
It's a snowy New England Saturday. Feels like a lazy day.
Let's •not• shovel the sidewalk or clean off the car, okay?
I wanna hunker down with hot cocoa and unfinished #crochet projects.

Most excellent, her Irish crème is my favorite holiday gift. Just handed those out today.
It's finally time! This fuss-free, small-yield eggnog recipe makes just enough for two tumblers, cozy and perfect for all of us eggnog lovers whose families do not share our superior taste.

Like Jim Crow (and slavery), mass incarceration operates as a tightly networked system of laws, policies, customs, and institutions that operate collectively to ensure the subordinate status of a group defined largely by race - Michelle Alexander

Just read the study in a British journal. There is Correlation identified, not causation. More studies needed etc. That being said, the flu is miserable and everyone should get a flu shot.
AND a Covid shot for the same reason. Also, stay home if you are sick!!!!

Get your #FluShot.
Receiving the annual flu vaccine is linked to a reduced risk of developing dementia, including Alzheimer's disease, with some studies finding that each dose increases the protective effect.

I add the blueberries directly to the pancakes while they are cooking too. The only downside is that sometimes the blueberries burn a bit after you flip so be ready to wipe out the pan after you remove the pancakes and add butter for the next batch.
They’re beautiful!

Just signed the petition and donated. Center for Biological diversity gets a very high rating from Charity Navigator and Charity Watch FYI
Consider donating to Friends of the Everglades and the Center for Biological Diversity. They’ve filed a federal lawsuit in U.S. District Court to try and stop “Alligator Alcatraz” before it opens.

This is true of young disabled people too. Agree, it’s terrifying
The most terrifying thing about living through right now is the fact that I can’t “just get a job”. Plenty of folks who are disabled have the same issue. And with anti-DEI targeting disability access as well, competing with more able bodied seniors for jobs we could do will be impossible for many.
