This mockup shows the December page of my 2027 Awesome Auroras calendar hanging on a wall. The calendar launches tomorrow, Friday, October 9 at 9 AM Alaska time, and the first 100 customers get 20% off: theauroraguy.com/products/awe...

The December 2027 page of the Awesome Auroras calendar, hanging as a spiral-bound wall calendar, square on a pale sage-green wall above a white desk, with a small potted succulent and a white cup of pens standing below it and a stack of white books to the right. The page shows the Cold and Clear aurora photo across the top, a written sidebar about the cold in Fairbanks and the clear skies that come with it, and the date grid with the moon phases, the December solstice and the Geminid meteor shower peak, and the U.S. and Canadian holidays.

US measles cases hit their highest level since 1991 • 2025: 2,289 cases • 2026: 3,887 cases (Oct 1) • Under 5s: 26% • Ages 5–19: 44% • Ages 20+: 29% • 95% unvaccinated or vaccination status unknown Major outbreaks reported in Texas, Utah, South Carolina and Pennsylvania.

An Associated Press infographic titled "Measles cases are surging across the United States" shows a colour-coded map of confirmed measles cases by state as of Oct. 1, 2026.
A legend on the right outlines six colour tiers:
• 0 cases: White
• 1-9: Pale pink
• 10-49: Light red
• 50-99: Medium red
• 100-499: Darker red
• 500+: Bright solid red
The map shows cases across most of the US. Utah is shaded dark red (100-499), while Texas, Florida, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and California are in the 50-99 tier. A handful of states, like Nevada, are white (0).
The map credits the CDC as its source. At the bottom, bylines credit Jonathan Poet and Phil Holm, published at 3:31 AM GMT+11, October 8, 2026.

It was great to meet some of the leaders of Reconnect Rochester at the conference and get a tour of their offices after. It's amazing how quickly they've grown into a well-led, high-functioning, high-capacity organization that has become a go-to. So glad to see it happen 👍 bsky.app/profile/reco...

I effing despise RFK Jr. I had a cancer caused by HPV that had a massive impact on my life. I would have loved to have a vaccine that could have prevented all of that and whatnot. Yet that fool has claimed that HPV vaccines themselves cause cancer and he’s making bank on that lie and others.

It’s wild that no one in the media asks the White House for any evidence that Iran was anywhere near producing nuclear weapons and makes it major a story when they refuse. Instead Trump just repeatedly uses this to justify the war and the economic hardships it’s caused without question.

🚨 BREAKING NEWS: A federal judge just HALTED the destruction of Big Bend. This is a massive victory for the landowners, local communities, and everyday Texans who stood up to protect one of our state's greatest treasures. The fight isn't over, but today, the people won.

Graphic from the Center for Biological Diversity over a scenic view of Big Bend. Large text reads, “MASSIVE WIN FOR BIG BEND.” Below, it says a federal judge has frozen all destruction throughout the Big Bend region until the project’s legality can be determined in court. The graphic adds that the Center will continue fighting to save Big Bend and asks supporters to join them.

USA: "CDC greenlights COVID vaccines for vulnerable children after nearly 1-month delay" The Vaccines for Children (VFC) program offers free immunisations to more than half of US children, including those on Medicaid, while privately insured children have had access to new COVID shots for weeks.

An image of a news brief from CIDRAP (Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy), dated September 25, 2026.
The bold headline reads: "CDC greenlights COVID vaccines for vulnerable children after nearly 1-month delay." Below the headline, the article is attributed to author Liz Szabo, MA, and categorized under the topics "COVID-19" and "Childhood Vaccines."
The bottom half features a photograph of a male doctor in a white lab coat sitting at a desk and typing on a laptop. In the background, a young girl wearing a yellow shirt holds a teddy bear while sitting next to a smiling woman, presumably her mother.
