Critics of social healthcare often talk about wait times for care and to see specialists.

In the US, my partner with a chronic condition waits weeks to months for specialists to diagnose worsening symptoms and often gets no answers.

Our healthcare system isn’t better. It’s actually quite terrible.

That pop tart trophy was pretty ridiculous, lol.

Follow your dreams.

So, remember to revisit your indexes every once in a while.

My neighbor is out here in a dumpy old snowplow, clearing the 1” dusting of snow off his driveway while blaring Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.

#FirstSnowOfTheYear

I’ve reached the age where I need a good session of stretching and foam rolling my back before bed.

It’s remarkable how much better my mood is while driving in holiday traffic in a vehicle with adaptive cruise control.

Getting to say that we’re skeetin on the skyline is reason enough to be on Bluesky, imo.
