My MIL (age 82) died very unexpectedly in early January. She was all packed for an around-the-world cruise with her boyfriend. We held a 45 minute service and then a four hour catered reception with an open bar. The kind of party she would have wanted to attend. We figured we’d never buy her another birthday gift,

I want YOU Esther

It did! But I read the article anyway. Someone send help.

That headline made us all Regan MacNeil

And had their assistants read it and tell them what it said.

There’s no basement at the Alamo! 

Yeah!!! Fiona Apple!!  She knows we need this right now.

To give Trump (who does not deserve it), and his followers (who “deserve” it only in the sense that if I want to call myself “good people”, I have to grant it when I’m merely very sure” rather than “absolutely positive” they don’t deserve it) the benefit of every last doubt, Trump is currently exploiting the baseline

Exactly this...until you have a loved one suffering at the end of a terminal illness, you have no idea how important it is to have access to hospice and other similar services. For the Republicans to turn that into “Obama wants to kill your grandma” is just Vol. 20578029 in the ongoing saga of how bad they are at this

The symbolism of calling for “economic resurrection” on Easter is akin to Trump fucking the Easter Bunny on the altar.

Thing about those death panels that didn’t get stated often enough in the media is that they were an ACA provision to allow Medicare reimbursement for providers/coverage for patients for end-of-life consults between terminally ill patients and physicians. An end-of-life consult is more than health care directives

Shelter in place does not include getting food.  And drive through is safer than in person.  In Ohio we are being encouraged to get carry out or drive through to help local workers stay employed.  And I am doing that a couple times a week.  

I’m thinking the people of Brazil, England and USA are all going to die on account of electing right wing nutsos. I realize a lot of innocents who voted for someone else are going to get hurt as well, but hey.. What can you do?

I was in a zoom meeting yesterday with a guy living in NYC. He said one of the ways he was coping was that last week he went to a dance performance in the Metropolitan Theater. He said the whole audience was coughing the entire time.

While in principle I get the idea of trying to determine approach based on the state’s situation, none of this makes sense unless they are also going to shut down travel between the states. Also even in that case, they really should wait a long while before starting to look getting those public events going.

Yeah, and a frog wants wings so it won’t bump its ass a-hoppin.

Nah, I like Pine, and frankly most celebs dress like they fell out of bed into their laundry hamper on their off time.

I gave up on social distancing. Now I just spray bleachwater on the hands and face of anyone who gets near me. I call it “social disinfecting.”

The fact that 90% of Republicans trust Trump for virus info is proof that there are a hundred million people in this country who weren’t hugged enough as children and we are doomed as a result.
