@EpiEllie I’ve stayed off of this platform, but this notification is a reason to jump back on. This is a huge loss for BU, but I hope it is a decision that is for the best for you in the long run. Best wishes to you in your recovery.

@bruhoboken @rebecca_John1 @latimes @ClimateWatchdog 1.

Two questions for the good "Dr": 1. Are you in favor of forcibly removing gas stoves from everyones' homes?
