Thank you for standing by me and showing me so much love and support over the past year. I’ve still got some healing to do, but I am on my way! See you soon. 💖 🦋
@Greenma22261223@greta Actually, we do believe in freedom of speech and privacy. Unfortunately, we have a short-timer in residency that will be leaving us soon and everything will soon go back to normal.🇺🇸
@SarahisCensored There’s a place in heaven for you, Mark Cuban. Thank you for taking care of this sweet family, and for all the many other things that we will never hear about.❤️
Mark Cuban just saved baby Stella’s life.
Stella was diagnosed with aggressive cancer at just four months old. Her mother posted a TikTok video showing her speaking with the insurance company, which was denying a medical lift that could have saved Stella’s life. The lift would have transported her from Minneapolis, Minnesota, to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital in Ohio for a T-cell transfusion that is only available at that facility.
The insurance company claimed Stella was well enough to travel by road—even though both her parents and doctors said she was not. In fact, doctors refused to discharge her from the hospital due to her failing liver.
Her mother posted the video begging for help—either a private plane or assistance securing a medical lift.
The video caught the attention of billionaire Mark Cuban, who immediately stepped in and funded the entire transport, along with everything needed to get Stella to Cincinnati.
Stella was scheduled for her T-cell transfusion two days ago. As soon as I have an update, I will provide one. And no, you do not hate insurance companies enough.
Last night, the Russians launched a massive strike on Odesa. There was no military purpose whatsoever – this was pure terror against ordinary civilian life. Over 60 drones were used in the strike on the city. Sadly, there is extensive damage. Among the sites hit were a maternity hospital, ordinary residential buildings, businesses, as well as the port and critical infrastructure. Our services continue to work on the ground wherever needed, providing assistance. Tragically, as of now, one person has been reported killed. My condolences to their family and loved ones. More than ten people have been wounded, including a child. There were also strikes overnight in the Poltava and Dnipro regions.
Each such strike proves that Russia has no intention of ending this war. That is why any easing of pressure on it is dangerous. And coordinated efforts to protect people and lives will help us, help our country’s defense and our diplomacy. I thank all our partners who are working with us and supporting our people. We are working with everyone to give our country more strength and more capacity to protect life in Ukraine every day and every night: our cities and villages, our infrastructure. Collective defense and coordinated action can deliver the most effective results.
@catsareblessing I’m so very sorry for your loss. I know how devastating this kind of loss can be. Although he can never be replaced in your heart, please consider allowing another sweet rescue in.. there are so many that need a home and an heart with a bit of room.❤️
"So I’m driving down the road this morning and the cars in front of me are driving over a black thing in the road. It’s going between their tires so I’m guessing it’s a box. It’s a kitten just sitting upright shaking like a leaf. And some idiot had spread glue on its paws and stuck it to the road. I thought maybe it walked through glue somewhere but after looking at it, that was totally spread into her paws. She was wet and freezing and literally glued to the road. And NO ONE STOPPED. 😳 What the f$&k people??? I slammed on my brakes and stopped all the traffic and put my hazards on and got out and pealed her off the road. People were honking and all pissy....really??? It’s a kitten glued to the road!! So after a goo gone bath and some food and cream we have a new kitten. Luckiest kitten in the world!"

I had an experience today that I haven't been able to shake. I was waiting in line at Walgreens behind an elderly woman who was trying to decide between different sized bags of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups (what she could afford). She was rummaging around her bag looking for coupons or credits. She said her nephew was coming to visit from Virginia, and they didn't have these there, and he loved them. I asked her if I could please pay, she accepted and slowly starting walking out with the help of the Walgreens cart for support.
After I paid, I asked her if I could help her to her car, and she shared that her nephew was coming up to see her before he got deployed to the Middle East. He is in the navy. She wanted to give him his favorite treat before he left. She is of course worried.
This broke my heart. All of it. The inequity. Who we send off to wars. And who, in this case, is sending them.
We have a 5x draft dodger making these decisions. He is unbridled, undisciplined and a know it all.Today the news is likely that he will use ground troops - for what? What are they giving their lives for? This woman's nephew, and so many sons and daughters might never come home.
Please remember the human side of what is happening. I can't shake this interaction.
@shoveitjack@Amy_Siskind Have you considered the possibility that this nephew may have told an impoverished aunt that he could not get his favorite candy, so she could get him something she could afford, thus delighting her that she could provide it? Sometimes, things are not always what they seem.
@Amy_Siskind Every word of this is bullshit, starting with the ridiculous premise that there are no Reese's Peanut Butter Cups in Virginia.
LOL.
You suck at lying, kitten.
Shay Taylor-Allen learned last Friday that she had matched with her first-choice residency pick, Yale School of Medicine, a hospital that has played an outsized role in her life. She wasn't just born there, she also worked there as a janitor when she was 18.
Every day, I see numerous posts about people’s pets passing away and how painful it is. I “like” each post because I feel each pet deserves it.
Today it’s my turn. After 11 months our adopted rescue Cat, Pam passed today. It was the hardest decision we’ve ever had to make, but we know he’s now pain-free and running happily.
He was the sweetest, kindest boy. My posts never get many views, but if you could look at the pics of our sweet guy, I’d really appreciate it.
