#Snow squall in #FernandinaBeach #Florida. The neighborhood kids are a *little* excited 😆 Second year in a row we’ve had snow on #AmeliaIsland after 36 years. But please tell me how climate change isn’t real 🙄

This is what happens when Congress abdicates its oversight role. Vaccines do not cause autism. That is settled science. Back in my day agencies used to be response to their oversight committees.

My U10 soccer team was trying to cute with their use of Gen Z slang. Bless their hearts. But this Gen Xer hit them with Pauly Shore (buuuudddiiieeesszzz). Minds blown. (But what is he saying coach?!?!? 😆🤣😝) youtu.be/RlILZNz04Lo

I can't begin to even say how much I oppose this move. It flies in the face of science and evidence. But also history. We know what happens when children aren't vaccinated because it hasn't been so long since vaccines were invented. apnews.com/article/flor...

apnews.com

Florida plans to become first state to eliminate all childhood vaccine mandates

State Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo, who announced the decision, cast current requirements in schools and elsewhere as “immoral” intrusions.

Some of you didn’t live in DC in the 90s and it shows 😆 (And FWIW I loved DC so much more then - before the gentrification and snooty restaurants and fancy apartment buildings)

Rachel Kerestes @kerestes.bsky.social · 11/08/2025

I didn’t grow up in DC. I moved into the city and became a DC citizen in 2001. The years I lived in the District were wonderful. It is a great city with great people. But I hated not having Congressional representation. Taxation without representation is fundamentally un-American.

Played a three hour match this morning from 9:30 - 12:30 then jumped in a clinic at 1 for an hour. 93 degrees, 107 heat index. But this is why we play all summer in Florida. You get to a level of conditioning that you just can’t up north. www.instagram.com/p/DMk_B8Jugf...

The importance of promoting open practices in research, data and scientific computing is especially critical right now. I’m thrilled to be joining this pivotal organization and look forward to getting to know the community.

After a great and rewarding tenure as Executive Director @cclusa.org, I am preparing to depart for a new opportunity. It was wonderful to lead this community of everyday folks dedicated to solving climate change. There's still much work to do on climate change, but CCE/CCL will surely do it.

Well those were some interesting fireworks tonight in Fernandina Beach. A gangway in the harbor loaded with people collapsed mid-display. People screamed and ran b/c this is America and they thought there was a gunman. Thankfully there was no shooter and only minor injuries from the collapse.

As the GOP ire around the Byrd Bath grows...all I have to say is...play parliamentary tricks, run into the Parliamentarian. There is a way out of this though, it's called regular order.

Today we celebrate the day all people living in the USA, including the formerly enslaved, were officially granted freedom - June 19, 1865. It is important that we not shy away from difficult conversations or attempt to ignore the past. Let’s do the work. #Juneteenth

I'm not a regular watcher of cable "news," so when I do watch I'm always jarred by how partisan the programming is. Sort of like hopping between Twitter and Bluesky. We are worlds apart in our views and discourse. But each side now has it's own set of "facts" and reality. Hard to see how to bridge.

America's super power has always been attracting the best and brightest from around the world. We're the beacon. The hope. The opportunity. All of that diversity made us strong, not weak. Have we struggled? Yup. Have we figured it out? Nope. But there's always an optimism that we could and would.

The OBBB is moving towards the House floor. This is still a great time to reach out to your Representative and tell them to vote no.

Both of these things can be true - we have a major gap in our health care and policy landscape when it comes to long term care, services and supports. Medicaid was not intended to be the payer for care for our most vulnerable. But the answer to the problem isn't to cut Medicaid.
