It's #Alzheimer's & Brain Health Awareness Month , & I'll be at the Stanford Health Library talking with #Stanford neurologist Dr. Hannah Kirsch about my memoir written w/#UCSF#neurologist & founder of the Memory & Aging Center, Dr. Bruce Miller. We'll take questions & talk about #caregiving, #grief, #love, & how sharing our stories can help combat denial & stigma. The event is on June 23rd from 4:00 to 5:30. Here's a link to register. Hope to see you there.
Let us recall that in 2017 #Trump didn't know that Frederick Douglass had died & referred to him in the present tense. Loathe"doesn't come close to my detestation of these #MAGA idiots/#fascists.
#Slavery 101: "The child shall follow the condition of the mother." The legal incentive for rape & profit. When #MAGA grotesquely appropriates the experiences of slaves, read the words of #Douglass, #Northup, Jacobs etc. & the neo-slave narratives, #Morrison, #Butler.
The myth of #Narcissus is on my mind a lot as I read about the algae, and I'm trying to figure out a reading that makes sense. In trying to make Lincoln's Reflecting Pool about himself (which is what he trying to do with all of DC, the US, and the world), Trump has destroyed it. So not like Narcissus. But like Narcissus, it is only a matter of time until he joins the algae.
@nprofile1q... on 🔥: "These men live in what appears to be daily terror that the slightest misstep — getting caught cooing over a kitten or shaking their hips to a Beyoncé tune — will emasculate them. The over-the-top violence is a grasping effort to stave off this fear. Hyperbolic dominance displays function as a baby’s blanket, a totem to cling to in order to self-soothe over the ever-present threat that someone, somewhere, might call them “gay.”
There are so many signs of #Trump's #dementia (see Dr. John Gartner) & here's another one: Trump can't seem to say anything w/o swearing or using profanity (I was just reading about his latest taunt directed at Jon Ossoff). He is obviously profane (#Epstein, #EJeanCarroll, I could go on) but his public outbursts & evening insomnia, another aspect of his dementia, have become increasingly frequent. #Media, do you have something you'd like to say?
