It is better now, part 112,358 - Cancer



Check out the latest newsletter from Hank and John Green. The first bit is relevant and timely - on Friday, I talked with someone who has unexpectedly (and somewhat temporarily) become pretty powerful in the animal advocacy world. They asked me for advice and I had to say "I don't know" to most questions. (I have experience with management style, and with organizations that don't work / have a net negative impact in the world. But specifics of projects and partnerships -- I just don't know.)

And of course, Our World In Data proves, yet again, how utterly wrong the Doomers are. (At least for the average human.) 

BTW, if your health insurance company wants you to do a "healthy home visit" and promises you money, don't do it. At least ours was a pretty scammy scam - the gift card is only good on a small amount of CVS-branded stuff, and took a ton of time to get to work at all.

Personal health update: I've not only stopped trying to go off the nerve pain med Pregabalin (related to gabapentin) but also increased the dose. Has made my life better overall -- somewhat less pain (except the last 12 hours) and sleeping better. Yay.
