An Old, a Poor, a hermit, dark humor, long winded oversharer, currently terrified & hopeless
Pro: inclusion, UBI, science, learning, kindness

Hoomom here. This photo of Kayla was posted yesterday shortly after she ate tree flocking. She's fine. Vomited it up. We found it funny but shame on us. Per Google-"Tree flocking is bad for cats because it can be toxic if ingested & cause intestinal blocks". Just beware. Flock is a no no 🩷

Early in this ACIP meeting, Vicky Pebsworth blamed gay men, promiscuous women, urban residents, and immigrants for spreading HBV in the U.S.
Then Evelyn Griffin said, out loud, that “illegal immigrants” are to blame.
This committee should be DISBANDED and exiled to science Siberia.

Mom, nonstop coughing & gasping for breath through the end life / POLST / advanced directive video appointment w/the palliative care social worker
That's what talking does to her - O2 saturation dips to 85%, coughing starts
...despite being on 15 liters of O2 per min
Anyhow, DNR is official now 💔

Seeing a lot of "family issues" related posts on my Skyline, so I'll add my hot take / hill to die on
Do NOT force children to hug, kiss, or otherwise physically interact with family and friends if they don't want to
Children deserve bodily autonomy as much as anyone

Mum: Why did you smear spaghetti sauce all across the walls?
Karoline: This relates to a question Dad asked about the Teletubbies show I was watching, and what's interesting is that show has been taped on VHS so it's freely available for anyone to rewatch it. I'll now take a question from the dog

My mom just told me her friend tried to buy my book on Amazon and it’s temporarily sold out. 🥹 Now I need a favor: if you bought my book it would be so helpful if you could leave a review. I don’t care if it’s Amazon, Goodreads or my publisher’s website. Let me tell you why this is important.

Just a quiet, sad little PSA.
If someone is estranged from their parents, please please don’t give them the ‘but they’re your mum/ dad’
They were their mum / dad when they did the worst imaginable things to their own kids.
It’s not up to the children to make it ok. It’s up to them to live well.
