We live in an Enneagram type three culture — one obsessed with achievement.
Threes often learn as children that love is earned through performance rather than given freely. This can lead to an over-identification with the polished, presentable self.
In this episode of “Everything Belongs,” explore Enneagram Type Threes with Fr. Richard Rohr and actor @JoshRadnor from “How I Met Your Mother.”
This episode poses a moving question: can we be loved for who we are, not what we accomplish? buff.ly/MlN0rix

I hate to give airplay to misinformation, but the following post is still online - hasn’t been deleted - and it’s from the person who is currently nominated to be Surgeon General of the United States- who btw doesn’t have an active medical license. This post alone should be disqualifying for the job.
Here are the dangerous factual errors in the post:
1) Hep B is not transmitted exclusively through needles and sex; it can also spread perinatally from mother to child, through household contacts sharing items, or other blood exposures.
2) Even if parents test negative, testing isn't perfect - late infections, errors, or incomplete records can and do occur, risking newborns who have a 90% chance of chronic infection if exposed
3) Her claim of zero documented cases from infected playground needles: While rare, there are cases of Hep B transmission from community needlesticks in children.
4) The virus CAN survive on surfaces/needles - up to 7 days or more.
5) Far from "insanity" or "no benefit," the birth dose has reduced U.S. childhood Hep B infections by >95%, preventing cirrhosis and liver cancer.
America can’t afford a Surgeon General who so boldly states clear and harmful misinformation, much less someone who doesn’t even feel the need to remove such online falsehoods WHILE AWAITING A CONFIRMATION VOTE. 🤦🏽♂️
The idea of giving a newborn the hepatitis B vaccine (followed by 2 additional doses) if the baby is born to parents *without hepatitis B* is absolute insanity and should make every American pause and question the healthcare system’s mandates. The disease is transmitted through needles and sex exclusively. There is no benefit to the baby or the wider population for a child to get this vaccine who is not at risk for sexual or IV transmission. There is only risk. Kids who don’t have this unnecessary pharmaceutical can’t go to school in many states. EVERYONE should become curious about why these interventions are institutionally jammed down our throats and people are made to be heretical whackos for questioning it.

Myth 4: SNAP's riddled w/ fraud & waste.
NOPE! Error rate <3%, mostly underpayments. Trafficking? Down to 1%. It's the most efficient safety net we have, boosting local economies $1.73 per $1 spent. Cuts/barriers hit rural families hardest (like 84% of IN's food-insecure kids).
That was legitimately one of the best halves of football the Colts have played in years🔥 Danny Dimes might be the real deal #ForTheShoe

When your premed advisor told you not to apply to medicine and you do anyway and years later, a new patient says, “We need a lot more doctors just like you.”
Don’t let them stop you.

“Prior surgeons general completed a medical residency and held an active medical license. These qualifications are essential to ensuring the surgeon general has the expertise needed to respond to the nation’s health challenges.”

That feature on David Boudia and community and not one mention of Purdue? Instead they mention the IU diving facility. WTAF?!?
Some people wait 365 days. Some wait years. Others wait a lifetime. For 300,000 of us, this is what we live for.
THIS. IS. MAY.
Welcome to the greatest month of the year, race fans. It's gonna be a big one.
