Life is too short to pass a cafe without stopping in for a ham & cheese croissant. 🥐 Yesterday was a cheese danish. 🇩🇰 Wonder what tomorrow will bring. Maybe a croque madame. 🇫🇷 This is how I stay the skinny cow's favorite parent. 😍🐄

This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen. Imagine if this was today , how many people would be saying “Why are we studying Gila Monsters and their impact on diabetes ? That’s wasted money !” globalnews.ca/news/9793403...

THREAD: In 2023, I received an envelope with no return address. Inside was a flash drive containing tens of 1000s of secret files. It came from a vigilante with a tumultuous past, who'd conducted a years-long undercover operation. He didn’t tell the FBI or his family. He only told me.
