The Oakley mouth shield was unveiled on Monday as an addition for NFL helmets in an attempt to reduce the spread of Covid-19 during the 2020 season. The NFL is expected to distribute the shields to all 32 teams this week for testing and the league’s medical experts are advocating for their use, although there is currently no mandate for players to use them. Players reportedly don’t want a mandate to wear the shields, according to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk. Several players throughout the league have already been given the mask and will provide feedback after testing it. The NFL is still planning to go forward with its usual regular-season schedule beginning in September, with players set to report to training camp later this month. This information came from the Bleacher Report.

Stay tuned for NFL updates.

Cancer In The Age Of COVID: Black Breast Cancer Survivors Speak Out

https://www.essence.com/health-and-wellness/breast-cancer-covid-survivors/

Ebonie Guyton, a public health practitioner in Detroit, MI, received a shock in February of this year: At age 34, she was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer. Soon after, her already challenging situation was made more so by the COVID-19 pandemic. Weeks after Guyton’s diagnosis, Michigan’s stay-at-home order was put into place.

For Guyton and other Black women facing breast cancer, the stakes are higher than ever. Since cancer treatment increases the likelihood of COVID-19 complications—and since survival statistics are already unfavorable for

“Jurassic Park Updates” Twitter Account Is Bloody Hilarious

https://www.themarysue.com/jurassic-park-updates-parody-twitter-account/

Jurassic Park Updates Parody Twitter account

We have few enough sources of hilarity these days, which is one reason why the new Twitter account Jurassic Park Updates (@JurassicPark2go) has caught on like wildfire in the dinosaur-infested underbrush. The account, which has about 230 tweets at the time of writing, has racked up more than 130,000 followers with its tongue-in-cheek “updates” from the staff of the world’s worst idea for a theme park.

Per its bio, the parody account is run by 12 people—writers, comedians, writers who are also comedians, comedians who are also writers, and so on and so forth. As such it’s impossible to tell who is responsible for each tweet, so let’s assume they’re emerging fully formed from this hivemind collective. “Updates” writer PJ Evans also created the hilarious @Disneyland2go account, which posts irreverent, often bitingly sarcastic “insider” tweets about the Disney park.

This is the kind of criticism Disney deserves right now:

But we’re here for Jurassic Park, which is a good deal more fun than the actual horrors happening as Disney reopens despite record-breaking numbers of COVID-19 cases. Shall we visit that faraway island?

There are so many great tweets in this account’s early days that it’s hard to feature only a few, but here are some favorites:

Give @JurassicPark2go a follow for even more dino vs. guest shenanigans and be sure to check out the team behind the T. rex:

@pjayevans, @NotJosephGarcia, @rajat_suresh, @Colinoscopy, @totallymorgan, @julieabridged, @astonoha, @quakerraina, @carmchristopher, @jayweingarten, @dlicj, and @sarahsquirm

Things We Saw Today: Happy Birthday Patrick Stewart AND Harrison Ford

https://www.themarysue.com/happy-birthday-patrick-stewart-and-harrison-ford/

Collage: harrison ford as han solo and patrick stewart and captain picard

It’s a rare day when we can celebrate the birth of not one, but TWO legendary starship captains, but apparently Cancers make great space pilots, or at least, great actors, as today is Harrison Ford’s 78th birthday and Sir. Patrick Stewart’s 80th.

Ford and Stewart and sort of like two sides of the same coin. One is the embodiment of American masculinity in the best way possible, while still channeling intellect, humor, and verve, while the other is the ultimate British gentleman, a Shakespearian force of pure dignity that none the less can kick some ass and give a great hug. Both are iconic.

It’s somewhat fitting that these amazing guys share a birthday. Though their careers have taken different trajectories, they’ve both embodied multiple iconic characters in genre, and continued to act and be generally awesome for decades. Ford isn’t just Han Solo, he’s Indiana Jones. Stewart isn’t just Picard, he’s Professor X. And they’re also both so much more. And we love them.

Both of these men have shaped our pop cultural lives for decades and deserve to be celebrated as much as possible. We can’t throw a party (though I will be eating cake) but we can share some Twitter love.

Oh to have been a fly on this wall …

And for Sir Patrick, what better tribute than some sonnets?
