I always have to reiterate once again that getting these vaccinations DOES NOT 100% prevent the disease. It is there to ensure that if you do get them, you’re not sitting in an ER vs enjoying the holidays. This message has not changed in decades.

It also takes your body 2 weeks to develop those cute antibodies to fight those fun pathogens and pending on several factors (age, general health, etc) your protection will wane over time. So my timing (I’m in my 40’s and healthy) will allow me to have protection thru the holidays.

For those asking if it’s fine to get the flu shot now: technically anytime is fine, but optimal time to get the flu shot corresponds to what we’ve established as pretty solid patterns of elevated flu activity (mid-late October+). For me? I scheduled to get both the flu and Covid vax early October

So. At what point are some of you going to say “you know what Target?…. That’s enough ✋ “ No really. Most of us here are waiting.

Don’t tell pebble that, She’s already got a huge ego!

It’s safe to say that Pebble and Bucket are very much bonded and adore each other. Seeing the two play/sleep/rough house with each other always makes me tear up a little as it was something I knew Bucket wanted from Mako, but due to her age/illness, she wasn’t able to. I love these two so much

This past weekend, I got the chance to really escape and remember how much of a rave head I am at EDC 2026. I was surrounded by an amazing crowd of people and loved every second of it. Cannot wait to join you all next year under the electric sky.

I’d like for us to normalize not giving an ounce of sympathy or forgiveness to traitorous hatred driven adults. It’s time we start actually thinking about accountability and consequences.

Nope. IDGAF. You and the rest KNEW what you were doing. You CHOSE to ignore the mountains of red flags. You all DOUBLED DOWN on your hatred and only changed your tune when it impacted YOU. You don’t get to apologize after opening the damn. The damage is done. Sorry is so fucking late.

I wish I could add that super fast snippet after every new drug that says something about all the “background” checks they’ll do to check if you’ll be in allegiance to his high and mighty orange turd. No thanks.

The topic of Grief is not an easy topic to navigate, even harder to capture on cinema. It is a deeply personal journey that ebbs and flows erratically throughout the course of ones life Hamnet from Chloe Zhao captured it. She captured it perfectly. I'm still thinking about it long after watching it

If it's about technical/pricing/other issues outside of the movie or product, there are ways to address this. or GOD forbid they can actually use that piece of junk AI software they have some community notes section. Either way, I think it's hot garbage.

The other worst type of person on this planet - Those who "review" products but instead will give low ratings b/c of other issues not related to the actual product. Perhaps I just want to see actual reviews of the movie? This is why I've stopped caring about Amazon reviews.

My only answer I have is “I’m here”. Being HERE is testament of my resilience, strength, and my refusal to let uncertainty destroy my drive. It’s what keeps me going. I’ll be ok. For those that are hurting, please know that i’m sharing what strength I have and to let you know “you’re here” is enough

It hurts. So much. The pain has dulled with time but now I am faced with trying to answer the ever present question of “what’s next? Where to?What’s your goal?” and for the first time in my life….i honestly don’t know and that has paralyzed me with this unfamiliar fear of uncertainty of “me”

But in the end, the most painful grieving i’ve done is…. I grieve…for what was once me. The me that I had built almost 20+ long and hard worked years. I lost me. It’s not just work. I loved my career in public health bc I knew the amazing good it did. It was inextricably tied to my own character

I grieve for the many families and beautiful souls we have destroyed for the pursuit of a xenophobic ideal of “America first”. I grieve for the death of the tiny bit of decency this nation once had and taken for granted, now replaced with unapologetic dehumanizing greed and malignant nationalism.

I grieve the loss of the amazing colleagues and friends I made at the agency. I grieve for the senseless decimation of our talented federal workforce we had. I grieve for the many sick/vulnerable populations that will needlessly die to this bastardized notion of science.

In that same year, I also had to say goodbye to my cat mako, who passed away after courageously battling cancer for half the year. She was the 2nd cat I ever had to say goodbye to and it destroyed me. I still sob at seeing the food she use to eat the store. Even just a random creak in the house

Today marks the 1 year anniversary where I was illegally fired amongst thousands of other US federal employees. I had worked for more than 10 years in the service of the US federal government and while it had its rough times, I loved this job. And on that day, it was all taken away from me.

Honestly all this intense arguments over the spending bill while we continue to fund a domestic fascist police group and international petty projects... Yes of course it bothers me. Federal employees were the first to be gutted. Unfairly/Illegally. All to save $$ that was eclipsed by MORE spending.

“After exhaustive review” = “We just went with vibes” “International consensus”= “we just went with the most convenient example like Denmark” Their recommendations goes against the international scientific consensus. So. Please stfu.

I’d invite folks to please stop suggesting that hand sanitizer is the key to preventing norovirus. All of you who have followed us for so many years know better now that SOAP AND WATER is the only effective method in reducing norovirus cases. Hand sanitizers do diddly squat against this virus.

If you need any further evidence on why CDC is broken, just look at the past few ACIP meetings. These “experts” can barely run a structured meeting with appropriate due process. You trust that these charlatans know what’s best for America’s health when they can barely understand the word “AGENDA”?

Ignoring and not talking about AIDS does not make it go away Donny. I cannot think of a single time where a country or multi-lateral entity has EVER chosen not to commemorate World AIDS Day. But don't worry. We took care of those nasty seed oils.
