The black vultures are very curious today

These were in a family photo album (husband’s side). I don’t know how common it was to have a camera in the late 1920s but they took plenty of pictures, including of this cat (these cats?). Must have been pretty special! 🐈

Time to stop the doom scroll and tune out. Fingers crossed I don’t end up with “iron flu” from the Infed infusion today. Signing off with a quote from Raising Steam by Terry Pratchett as I continue my first journey through #DiscWorld

"They want us to be frightened of one another, thinking there must be an enemy, but the only enemy now is the grags and those poor fools like your brother, who set fire to a clacks tower and got badly burned for his trouble. They are the victims of the sneaking bastards in the darkness.“

So, like, do the Signal peeps need to resubmit the SF86 like DoD employees are doing right now?

A highlighted section of the questionnaire for national security positions form SF 86 asking “In the last seven years have you introduced, removed, or used hardware, software, or media in connection with any information technologies system without authorization when specifically prohibited by rules, procedures, guidelines, or regulations, or attempted any of the above?”

Thinking about how not even two months ago I was calling on my senators to NOT vote for such clearly incompetent nominees… fml 🫠

A response from PA Senator Dave McCormick about nominees such as Hegseth:

Thank you for contacting me regarding President Trump’s Cabinet nominees. Your feedback is important to me as we work together to shape policies that benefit Pennsylvania and our country.

As I have said, President Trump has nominated a team of disrupters to deliver on his promise of change, and historically Presidents of both parties have tended to get their preferred teams in place. At the same time, as a United States Senator, I take seriously my constitutional responsibility to provide advice and consent on the President’s nominees.

I have had one-on-one meetings with most of the President’s Cabinet nominees to discuss their qualifications and to raise issues important to Pennsylvanians. I have also questioned the nominees who have appeared before the committees on which I serve and reviewed the hearings of others.

President Trump deserves to have a strong team in place to make America safer and more prosperous. Please know that I will keep your views in mind as the Senate works through the confirmation process for each of these nominees. Following these confirmations, I will continue to engage with members of the Cabinet on what is best for Pennsylvania.

It is an honor and a privilege to serve our great Commonwealth in the United States Senate. I appreciate having the benefit of your comments on this important matter. I am always grateful to hear from my constituents.

Looks like my rep is doing a town hall after all… by telephone. And the only place I found this information was through a paywalled news site. What amazing transparency 🙄

U.S. Rep. Ryan Mackenzie, the freshman Republican representing the Lehigh Valley in Congress, will hold a telephone town hall Thursday night.

The event is being held at the same time Democrats plan a People’s Town Hall to call on Mackenzie to oppose President Donald Trump’s agenda.

Mackenzie’s town hall begins at 6:05 p.m. and can be accessed by calling 877-228-2184 and entering the pin 123440.

aboutus.restoredcdc.org/mission

Accurate and available public health information and data are critical for healthcare providers, public health officials, researchers, and others. These data are used by professionals and consumers in the US and around the world for many purposes, such as making informed decisions for patient care, policies, resource deployment, and research. Historically, the CDC website has been a reputable source for information and data. In January 2025, some of these resources became unavailable. As the CDC site has become available again, it is unclear what has been removed or modified. Due to the rapid changes and lack of transparency, the level of tampering is not yet understood and it is unclear whether errors (purposeful or not) are now present.

Our goal is to provide a resource that includes the information and data previously available. We are committed to providing the previously available webpages and data, from before the potential tampering occurred. Our approach is to be as transparent as possible about our process. We plan to gather archival data and then remove CDC logos and branding, using GitHub to host our code to create the site.

Sigh. How many more people would be alive each year if we had this in the U.S.? But something something 2A something something...

In Japan, where there are fewer firearm-related casualties (10 per 100 000 in United States vs 0.06 per 100 000 in Japan), an applicant for a firearm license must pass a background check, including a review of criminal and mental health records. Additionally, the gun owner must reapply and requalify for firearm license every 3 years. Civilians in Japan are not allowed to possess hand guns or semi- and fully automatic assault weapons.

In Canada, an applicant for a firearm license has to pass a background check, including review of criminal, mental, addiction, and domestic violence records. The background check also involves third-party character references and interviews with applicant’s spouse, partner, or next of kin before a gun license can be issued. The gun owner must reapply and requalify for firearm license every 5 years, and authorities maintain a record of licensed individuals. Private possession of fully automatic weapons is prohibited in Canada.

I never had a provider order ferritin testing as part of my routine checkup until a couple years ago. My hemoglobin just squeaks in as normal. So yeah, I’m seeing a hemotologist next week since clearly diet and supplements aren’t cutting it and I feel like craaaaaap 🫠

“Beneficiaries of the American Dream” 🙄

In this discussion, Dina and David will share insights from some of the most successful leaders in the country who credit mentorship as a defining force in their success. Through real-world stories, they unpack the four key elements of transformative mentorship–trust, shared values, meaningful commitment, and instilling confidence.
As grateful beneficiaries of the American dream, Dina and David hope this book will inspire individuals of all ages and backgrounds to invest in others, pass that support forward, and ultimately help change the world. Whether you’re a mentor, a mentee, or someone who believes in the power of human connection, this conversation will offer personal reflections, meaningful dialogue, and actionable takeaways on how mentorship shapes lives, careers, and communities.

Same, I sent an email to Schumer with this and a fax using another template that was posted!

Hello, my name is [Your Name], and I'm calling to urge Senator Chuck Schumer to vote no on cloture for the House-passed Continuing Resolution and instead move to pass a clean Continuing Resolution.
While l'm not a constituent, this is of national importance, and as the Senate Minority Leader, Senator Schumer's leadership is crucial in ensuring Congress reclaims its constitutional power of the purse and prevents the undue influence of individuals like Elon Musk over our government.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I appreciate your attention to this critical issue.

What an ass. The agenda is to KEEP PEOPLE FROM DYING. So sinister, right? kffhealthnews.org/news/dementi...

Screen shot from the article reading, "Dr. Arthur Przebinda, who represents the group Doctors for Responsible Gun Ownership, said researchers raising the issue want to curtail gun rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution, and are “seeking ways to disarm as many people as possible.”

Focusing on the potential of people with dementia shooting others is a “bloody shirt-waving tactic that’s used to stir emotions to advance support for a particular policy endpoint,” he said."

So disappointed in the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and their discontinuing funding County Health Rankings and Roadmaps. I left feedback expressing so. Please join me, especially if CHR&R has been important in your work: www.rwjf.org/en/about-rwj... #PublicHealth

Feedback sent to RWJF regarding their discontinuation of funding to County Health Rankings and Roadmaps. It reads: I was very upset to learn that RWJF is no longer funding County Health Rankings and Roadmaps. Especially with the current assault on science and data reporting in the United States, resources such as CHR&R are invaluable in continuing the important work of improving community health through research and evidence based insights. I use this resource considerably in both my graduate program and my MPH internship, especially since my work revolves around county-level health indicators. I implore that the funding status of CHR&R be reconsidered, it truly is a groundbreaking and important resource used by public health scientists nation-wide.

Called my senators about the continued mass firings. They must be off enjoying the long weekend since both went to voicemail 😡 See image alt text for text to copy if you want.

Mass Firings

Hi, my name is [] and I am a constituent from []. I’m incredibly concerned about the mass firings happening across agencies in our government. This is not an act of disruption, but the actual dismantling of our government, ignoring all laws and the constitution along the way. I demand that the senator step in to put a stop to this, advocating to restore all agencies immediately. I also ask for full investigation and charges against the individuals ordering and carrying out these actions, including the president. No senate business or confirmations should continue until this crisis is addressed and remedied. Thank you for your time and consideration.
