I see a fair number of doctors every year because, you know, chronic illness.
About half the time, they have residents or students with them.
I enjoy being a part of their education and training because that also happens to be my job. 🤓🤓🤓 1/12
I also understand how things are made.
When I eat a salad, I know human beings cut those greens in a field. Food doesn’t walk to my store. It’s grown and harvested by people. Then washed, shipped & handled by others.
I respect the people involved in the things I consume. 2/12
The people that make and do and grow things for me to consume are human beings.

If a patient is having trouble getting along with staff in the hospital I sometimes take the time to teach them how to get the best care possible in the hospital. 1/

Somewhere in the last few months I unfollowed or blocked the lynchpin of social media crazy and now they’ve all gone away.
The antivaxxers, flat earth, fluoride is poison, 5G, COVID’s a hoax. All of them. Gone. All I see day after day is normal, logical, scientific opinions.
I wish I knew how I closed the wormhole to Tinfoil Hatland. It’s become so pleasant here where reliable people depend on other reliable people to render reliable opinions.
Alternatively, maybe I silence the people who are full on 🍌🍌🍌 so fast and so effortlessly that I just keep screening them right out of my sphere of attention. 🤔🤔🤔
