Stop scolding people for worrying about monkeypox – Vox

There are some solid epidemiological reasons to conclude that monkeypox doesn’t pose the same threat to the world that Covid-19 did in 2020. But instead of condemning alarmism, experts should acknowledge the many reasons for that alarm. The world is horribly vulnerable to the next pandemic, we know it will hit at some point, and the undetected spread of monkeypox around the world until there were dozens of cases in non-endemic countries — despite the fact it typically has low transmissibility — shows how profoundly we’ve failed to learn the lessons from Covid-19 we need to avoid a catastrophic repeat.

Phil Moore imagines a Polynesian paradise replete with howler monkeys screaming in the deep green shadows and naked curvaceous women on the beach at sunset.

Actions and Consequences: The Domino Effect Continues

From Behind the Pen

          Growing up, I was a headstrong kid. My mother reminded me more times than not that my action speaks louder than words. As I get older, I learned that inaction also speaks louder than words.

          What an emotional week this has been. I hadn’t planned on posting anything today because, like many of you, I am trying to remain positive as we navigate through the heartbreak of the tragedies we have seen broadcast over many news outlets during the past couple of weeks alone.

Filosofa's Word

Good morning, friends, and happy weekend!!!  I bet you’re all tired from this past week … I know I am, and I don’t have a job to go to every day!  I beg your forgiveness, but I am yet again re-sharing a post from several years ago … August 2019, to be exact.  However, I think you will still enjoy seeing these strange, funny critters, and before the unique animals … I found a cute feature over on Bored Panda of some birds being ornery that I thought you would get a kick out of …
