This article resonated with me. Always impressed when someone is willing to brave the stigma surrounding mental health or other differences in order to make a difference to others. cyclingnews.com/features/mic…

Every year, I walk to raise funds for neuroendocrine (NET) cancer research, and once again I'm asking for the support of my friends, family, and community. All funds raised go directly to support NET cancer research through CNETS❤️ Donation link: canadahelps.org/en/charities…

Claude Lemieux's family say that they've chosen to donate his brain to the UNITE Brain Bank at the Boston University CTE Center for research into the long-term effects of repetitive head impacts and traumatic brain injury. "The family emphasizes that this decision is a gift to science, to athletes and to future generations of families seeking answers. No conclusion should be drawn at this time regarding any diagnosis."

Lately I’ve been thinking about trade-offs. Not just what we spend on, but what we give up in the process. When governments invest massive sums in war, what futures are we quietly deciding not to build? What would you choose to invest in if those resources were redirected?

Every billion spent is also a decision about what doesn’t get funded: healthcare systems, education, housing, prevention. If we paused and imagined those same resources redirected, what kind of society could we create instead?

Military spending is often framed as necessary — and sometimes it is. But it’s also one of the most expensive tools we have, financially and humanly.What we rarely do is weigh it against alternatives. Not abstractly, but concretely: what else could those billions fund?

For clinicians, a medical event can be routine. For patients & their families, it rips a hole in their lives. It’s been 4 years since @DGlaucomflecken’s sudden cardiac arrest. That day, the ground fell out beneath us, & months of aftershocks followed, reshaping our landscape. 1/3

“We will always cherish the joy, light, the blinding intelligence he brought to every moment – not just to his work, but in life as well… This truly is The One Where Our Hearts Are Broken.”

I just saw someone saying “not matthew perry, chandler Bing was my friend when I didn’t feel like I have any” and that sums it up perfectly.  You made me laugh when i needed it the most,  Friends was my comfort on those dark days  But Chandler you were everything......
