Jim Gaffigan burned shit down on Twitter in spectacular fashion last night lol. Just go read....his entire Twitter. Oh wow, that was both wonderful and unexpected. It was amazing. I meant to come back and comment when I was done.

I read the Jim Gaffigan tweets last night and couldn’t believe he was going all in on it. I haven’t had a chance to follow up on the aftermath.

Yes that would be it. The New York Post is the culprit. They are in the NYC area and read that regularly. She said it was Atlanta gentrification and that the Washington Post said it and I was getting nothing, but as this is the Post I think this is probably the original source. Given that the area she lives in isn’t even Remotely gentrified I am unsure of the suburbs are next angle — but this discussion scared the crap out of me. Thanks for the info. I had the same discussion with my mom yesterday because my Fox News watching, New York Post subscribing father told her people were going to come for their house 🙄. It’s helpful to know where this is coming from since my response last night was just to tell her not to be ridiculous and don’t listen to anything my father has to say about politics.

This is almost exactly the conversation we had. It is scary how it escalates so quickly.

Ugh, Chadwick Boseman died of colon cancer. Fuck 2020. This is so damn sad. Everyone please make sure the men in your life take this seriously and get their colonoscopy as soon as they can. A prominent sportscaster in Detroit just passed away from colon cancer this month as well. He was 48 and just diagnosed 19 months ago. It really went a shockwave through the media here. He seemed like a great person. So sad.

Ohhhhhhh. This was so beautiful. Thank you for sharing. This is such a loss for the world. He was an incredible actor who brought such important roles to life. What an amazing mark he left on our world.

The sad part of Chadwick's case is that most places don't recommend routine screening until the age of 50, unless there is family history or high risk medical history. So he probably did everything right. Just got really, really unlucky.

My grandfather asked for an early screening and it was denied by his insurance. If he had been screened when he asked to be, they would have caught it early. Instead they found it later as stage IV. He lived 8 months. I have a friend who is 26 who was recently diagnosed. That just seems insane to me. 26 with colon cancer. Ugh. Anyways. I saw a comment on FB that said Chadwick chose his people well. Not a single one of them spilled the tea on his diagnosis and fight. They all had his back. He was clearly an incredible human being to inspire such loyalty. I believe you have to BE a good friend to have good friends and he must have been such a great friend since he surrounded himself with good friends who valued his privacy.

That last paragraph made me cry, again. Yeah, colon cancer is one of those insidious cancers that can do major damage before it gets caught. So sad.

Hopefully some good awareness of colon cancer and screening can come out of this tragic loss. I also know someone who was diagnosed under 40. Luckily he is in remission now.
Tweet says:
Colorectal cancer rates are rising in young adults - but the ACA only requires insurers to cover screenings for folks 50 or older. The American cancer society says people should start getting screened at 45. Chadwick was 43 and was diagnosed 4 years ago.

Colon cancer is so scary. There was a local photographer who was diagnosed when she was around 18 weeks pregnant at age 27 or 28.She thought her symptoms were pregnancy related at first but then it got more serious and she sought testing. She started treatment during pregnancy and her daughter was born healthy. Sadly, this lady died a few years later when her daughter was about 2 1/2. She was an advocate for colon cancer treatment while she was going through it.

Lol that anyone would pay $10,000 for his signature. I’m here checking in only because my internet went down right when I got to the Wakanda part of Infinity War. Mother fucker. I already watched Black Panther. Also, I prove to have the same twitter feed as jaygee once again because I was going to post the same thing about ableism that I saw on the main board.

LOL He about made my stomach leap How did the rest of the shift go? It went fine. Not many pickups, as usual, but I did get one woman who said, "Listen, I'll vote Democrat this time but I don't want to talk about it." Okie doke, have a blessed day! 😂
