There are times when Parkinson’s is the beast, and times the beast is me. We have many weapons, not the least of which lie within ourselves - that bundle of undefinables that make-up an indomitable spirit. ❤️🙏💪🕺😄🤗

The captain of Iran’s National Team, Mehdi Taremi, calls out FIFA and the U.S.: “This is a disaster World Cup. We can’t stay in the country and have to travel every time we play without any recovery. Now we can’t stay in Seattle and have to return to Tijuana. This is not fair.”

Ordered Seattle World Cup poster and arriving this Friday.
While our Seattle poster design is attractive, those not-necessarily-meant-to-be-worn jerseys were not among the top 10 visually pleasing shirts I saw yesterday. Seeing 4 at the same table was a head-scratcher. seattletimes.com/sports/worl…

We used to have orange juice in our refrigerator all the time. Now we never buy it because of the cost. But according to Trump, grocery prices are coming down?! 🤷‍♂️🤔
🍊BIG win for Florida citrus! Nearly 2/3 of your breakfast orange juice in the US is imported from foreign countries. That ends NOW — we are bringing back domestic production of OJ stronger than ever before! Proud to stand with @DrMakaryFDA on this America First fix that cuts red tape, revives domestic production, and puts more US oranges back in American breakfast glasses. This is the beginning of America’s return to domestic orange dominance. 🍊🇺🇸

I was diagnosed with YOPD in April 2021 at the age of 47.
Young-onset Parkinson’s disease (YOPD) occurs in people younger than 50 years of age. YOPD affects about four percent of the one million people with PD in the U.S. 📍 Symptoms are similar to late onset PD but it is important to understand the challenges YOPD individuals often face at a financial, family and employment level. The Parkinson's Foundation is here with resources designed specifically for the YOPD community: Parkinson.org/YOPD

Why is talking sexually at work considered sexual harassment, but talking about sexuality to kids in elementary school considered being inclusive?
