At some point, you have to turn down one type of stimulation so you can process another. And yes, dealing with existential angst on a daily basis is overwhelming.

Exactly. I actually had Mumps and Chicken Pox at the same time. My temp didn't go under 102 for a week. Our old family GP made daily house calls to make sure I was still alive. Anyone who thinks having these diseased makes us stronger is an idiot.

I was required to have a titer for what we called the Usual Childhood Diseases in 2010. I had had All of them and the titers reflected that. I took the results to an immunologist who was very impressed with the levels. I had all of the diseases in the 1950's and my body remembers it well.

Because of course they are. 🤬 Had a brief unplanned power outage a couple of mornings ago. My home was the only house on the block with power. I knew about the outage because my solar battery told me. I can control whether I keep or sell energy back to the grid. I am holding on to more today.

22 California billionaires have spent a combined $150 million to defeat Prop 40. Their combined wealth in January 2025 was $439 BILLION. By September 2026, it had grown to $722 BILLION. They're accidentally making the case for the billionaire tax better than anyone else could.

It's as if he is TRYING to lose the midterms. With historically low approval ratings, it would be wise to avoid the press altogether. Instead, he gives TIME magazine this bonkers, unhinged & l-e-n-g-t-h-y stream-of consciousness interview, pathologically lying throughout. shorturl.at/PMvVB

Adults over 50 now make up nearly 50% of single unhoused Americans, up from 11% in 1990. They account for over 61% of all street deaths. The people dying on our sidewalks are retired workers and seniors on fixed incomes priced out of their homes. #HousingIsAHumanRight #HousingFirst #SovereignWealth

Air travel is stressful, period. Getting crammed into seats that are intended for very small people make it more uncomfortable than it should be. I traveled a lot prior to 9/11 and it was much better then and it was STILL stressful.

Glad you have a little more comfort for the amount of travel you do. You deserve it.

I try. I have to be careful...I get really cranky with people who complain about the state of things, but won't do anything to improve them with their vote. Many I have spoken to are looking for the non-existent perfect candidate. I keep reminding them they aren't looking for a spouse.

If I were Christian, I would be praying for some old time religious smiting about now. Since I am not, I am hoping Karma will step up to the plate and take care of the hateful miscreants who are causing so much pain to people trying to find a better life.

I know this feeling. I worked nights 2 1/2 years and never slept more than 3 hours in a row. I actually liked working at night because it was generally less chaotic. My son was young then and I had to pick him up by 1330, so it was never going to work long term.

Phenomenal 🧵 (& paper) about why Omicron is less efficient at infecting the lung than previous variants. Initial ideas on this were proven wrong, & it's been an utter mystery since. Stuart, doing work on one else is doing, has largely explained it & revealed vital aspects of the SARS-2 life cycle.

This is what I keep saying. If I were young I'd be studying viruses, which I find endlessly interesting. I appreciate all who have continued to explore and learn about this virus family. This old RN was there to see HIV/AIDS at the beginning. We need to keep our minds open and the research going.

This corrupt SCOTUS is the Susan Collins of the judiciary. They make sure any ruling against that gelatinous felon is negated by one in his favor. Never applaud them actually voting in favor of the constitution, the law, civil rights & democracy. It's their EFFING job not the exception 2 the rule.

The disconnect between the millions of dollars being thrown at biosecurity / biodefense right now and the simultaneous mocking of people wearing masks is so painfully, tragically stark. A respirator is a tool, just like a biosensor or a biological countermeasure.

The top graph shows our county-level COVlD map using the CDC's Standard Benchmarks. The bottom map shows the downshifted levels under the CDC's new system. This really makes a difference for early warning in the middle categories. I've highlighted 5 areas.
