In my personal usage, "bless you/her", "God bless you/her" or - most frequently - just "bless" are expressions of appreciation or concern.

If the word "heart" is uttered, I'm definitely being an asshole. https://t.co/AI7vNq8gsZ

BREAKING: a new tape of Kavanaugh on CNN confirms that his position as a jurist is that the only federal investigations of a POTUS that can occur are political ones by Congress. Which means when Congress and the POTUS are from the same party, the president is as good as a *king*.

Being poor now just leads to being more poor later. Can't pay to clean your teeth? Next year, pay for a root canal. Can't pay for a new mattress? Next year, pay for back surgery. Can't pay to get that lump checked out? Next year, pay for stage 3 cancer. Poverty charges interest.

"There are two genders" is the Newtonian physics of human sexuality: it works most of the time but it's not the whole picture. It's pretty adequate for most people's needs but doesn't stand up to scrutiny and is riddled with so many exceptions as to be obviously untrue.
