I’m 54 and got it today. I’m in Iowa. I also got the shingles (one of two), hep b, and flu vaccines. My arms are sore—especially the shingles/flu shot arm.

A city that once held over 15,000 residents collapsed as businesses closed and population fled over the following decades. It is said that racism is expensive, my friends. It's true. What was once a vibrant place to live is now a ghost town. (cont) allthatsinteresting.com/cairo-illinois

I did this the last time I voted. I went through each one online to find out as much as I could (who nominated them, any party affiliation/if they endorsed anyone, their prior rulings/anything notable that came up in media). Idk how else to do it, and I know not everyone has the time. It’s a lot!

A scientist working at a lab who got exposed via a broken test tube. From what I’ve read such scientists are at high risk and thus are vaccinated for plague. Once exposed, it is effectively treated by antibiotics. Instead, she’s dead and 200 people were exposed. What is about this plague pathogen?

New: Trump’s abrupt announcement to send $90 payments to seniors by dipping into a Medicare fund has rattled Capitol Hill. One GOP aide told WaPo that lawmakers had planned to use the money to offset funding for community health centers, diabetes programs and other initiatives.

The Medicare part B premium is $202.90 per month. Trump’s one time $90 payment is like trying to slip the maître d’ a dollar for a good table. GTFOH, Donald, with your sad little vote bribe. Desperate. Pathetic.

Imagine looking around at the people in traffic, at the store, in your neighborhood, or at work and know that many of them voted for him. The ones loud and proud are one thing, but the down low bigots who voted against a woman of color, when you yourself are a biracial woman is disheartening.

It’s so hard watching our beloved pets age and go through an illness. I’m sorry. This little guy is the last of our four pups. He’s 12. He had a follow up at the vet today and needed vaccines. We lost our longest companion (she was almost 17) in Jan 2025, and we all still miss her so much.

I don’t usually watch award shows, but I just tuned into the Emmys. Okay, Mariska! My family ate leftovers, so now I’m eating GLP-1 girl dinner: Triscuits, cheese, and an apple. I prepped 2 lbs each of celery and carrots for upcoming soup meals. I’ve also got homemade chicken stock simmering.

ALL Americans are hurting and paying more for things because of the high price of diesel caused by Republicans. MANY businesses are hurt, EVERYONE pays more for everything. So why the hell should farmers get our money in a bailout - especially when 75% of them voted for this.

In the 90s, I had a beagle lab mix who was a lovable menace. She ate several scrunchies she snatched from my hair, a wallet (cash, credit cards, ID—all chewed to bits), a thawing turkey, etc. Once, she jumped into my lap and onto my plate of pancakes.

Down 20 lbs since hernia surgery in mid-June! It’s easier to exercise, and do small weights since healing. Lift restrictions removed August 5. Total loss of 32.2 lbs since March 10. Focused on protein, fiber, and hydration. For my 54th birthday I’ve asked for time with a trainer. GLP-1 T2D life!
