"Don't waste any time mourning. Organize!"
-Joe Hill
My brother texted the family group chat this quote before he went to work today. I'm not in a good place this morning, but we can't lose ourselves to despair. I know I have a lot of anger right now, but getting into whose fault that is won't help anyone.
Dwelling on the people I will never forgive won't help anyone.
I'm not that optimistic, but hope is a choice we can still make. It's a hard one to make this morning, but I'm still going to do my best. We are where we are, and focusing on yesterday won't change that. We can only move forward, and save as many as we can along the way.
There will be a tomorrow because we're going to make sure there's a tomorrow.

…no actually she really need to unload with both barrels hate mongering bigot cant be beat with love and compassion they just corrupt it they need to be fought with cold reality
So Megan’s dad was very arrogant. But then again with how expensive healthcare is, I don’t blame him for not wanting to go. And assuming how this guy felt politically. he’d probably be okay with healthcare staying expensive. And now that thought process likely bite him in the ass.
Umm… politics had nothing to do with the Doctor line.
He saw Doctors.
He just didn’t take their advice or listen to what they told him to do.
“He just didn’t take their advice or listen to what they told him to do.”
Like an unfortunately large amount of American males. My own deceased father among them.
He was still arrogant either way. And it was his arrogance of not taking doctor’s advice because it meant changing his lifestyle to way he didn’t want to do, and because of that it eventually killed him.
Stop smoking, stop eating fatty foods, cut back on the sodium, get some proper excersize… advice a lot of people ignore.
Except that by now we know that neither fatty foods nor sodium are actually directly impacting health… (Worst they can do is induce people to overeat regularly, because we tend to crave them.) So a lot of the advice we heard about food over the past decades is bullshit. In general, anything that goes beyond “natural foods are better than processed foods” tends to be conjecture, which is wrong more often than not.
Advice about smoking and exercise though is perfectly valid of course 🙂
