Personal news, the #pandemic has turned me into a maker. Crocheting, darning, sewing, mat cutting and framing, typewriter refurbishing, etc. Now I'm learning to knit. Can anyone suggest good #knittingTwitter accounts to follow?

Can we talk about the #Worcester of @KevCanFHimself? First, it doesn’t really look like Worcester. A French cosmetics store? An ocean? Public trash cans?

Colon cancer is horrific, and early screening can prevent the deaths of young people. Lower the age for screening now! statnews.com/2020/10/27/colo…

Colorectal cancer screening should start five years earlier — at 45 — expert panel says

The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force said it was concerned about increasing cases among Black Americans, who are at higher risk of developing colorectal cancer early and dying from it.
