cancer

Mary Robinette's story about her experience with discovering an ominous lump on her body, and then being able to get the help she needed in Iceland, speaks volumes to the healthcare situation back in America. Sounds like a visit to Iceland to get medical attention could actually be worthwhile. 

School and colleges can have some pretty draconian rules when it comes to mandatory attendance for testing. This can lead to some tense situations, and pretty interesting stories like this guy who had to show up looking scary sick to a test. In this case it was the teacher themselves who battled with the system.

This sounds like one massive mess. Best to leave a person like that out of your life ASAP. Some people will go to extraordinary lengths to tell their lies. This particular case involving lying about having cancer is an all-time low. 

Sadly, you can reliably trust that the internet will vomit up harmful pseudoscience all over the place. Thankfully, some people out there who actually know what they're talking about are willing to explain the facts as understood by the real experts.

Her pure ignorance is a cancer to the internet itself. Unreal. 

Knowledge was super effective! Here's to the ongoing sh*tshow of self-righteous stupidity that would seem hellbent on clogging up our news feeds. The ignorance alone is the most cancerous thing here. 

"Eh, just leave it like it is. People will get the gist."

Grandmas not getting references and grandpas tweeting at Applebees. No shame, no gain.

Old people. They don't really follow the trends, and they don't really know how to use facebook, but you gotta love em. Like, you're obligated to love them.

Honestly torn over who we love more at this point...Ryan Reynolds or Chris Pratt. Both of these guys are real life superheroes, and continue to display an incredible ability to balance the demands of being A-list celebrities, with touching the lives of fans who fell upon hard times, and bad luck. Yesterday we ran a post on Ryan Reynolds who shared a heartwarming tribute to his 14 year old fan (and friend) that'd lost his battle with cancer; and today we've got Star Lord. Love these guys!
