I posted about the CDC Vaccine Assessment tool being taken down. It's unclear how long it's been down for, but I don't believe it was within the hour since RFK Jr. was confirmed. Trying to get more clarity. In the meantime, this page has the suggested adult immunization schedule:

cdc.gov

Adult Immunization Schedule by Age

Stay up-to-date on getting recommended vaccines. View and print CDC immunization schedules for adult

i picked a very very weird time to buy a house but OMG I BOUGHT A HOUSE

a picture of my NEW KITCHEN with some tiny ceremonial pizzas and wine and my hand holding the house key

the shelves above the sink in MY NEW HOUSE! i hung a little embroidery hoop over the sink and put 2 mugs, a tea tin, and salt and pepper shakers on the shelf to make it feel like i really live here.

a picture of me standing in front of the front door to MY NEW HOUSE! the exterior is a super bright blue color, there are plants all around, and the front door is a creamy light grey color. i have my hand placed on the door frame and im looking up at it like i kind of can’t believe its real.

The American healthcare system is broken. I have a chronic health condition and even with *good* insurance, I still spent the equivalent of a years worth of groceries on my healthcare costs this year. And this summary is just for the hospital where I see my specialist and get treatment.

A screenshot of my 2024 annual billing summary from my specialist hospital. The total charges are $47,890 and the total payments I personally made are $4996.

This is a great article but doesn’t include solutions so here’s one: build your community by engaging in activities that help people experience joy. It’s hard to feel nothing when you see someone else’s eyes light up with happiness. For me this is nature education work. What is it for you?

TikTok’s ads for Trump appeared immediately to every user. Not even Twitter has done this. This makes them the largest Trump supporter by action at least. So, since people believe TikTok suppresses words like kill, what will they suppress now that they’re right wing?

It feels like time to start reminding people that if you get COVID ~Thanksgiving-New Year’s, you should NOT jump into January workouts. Block out the ‘wellness’ industry. If infected, extreme REST is still one of the best things you can do to minimize odds of long COVID. Rest as much as you can.

I’ve been using the Bose Open Ear earbuds for the past couple days, after a friend showed them to me, and they’re honestly kind of life changing? I can just have nonsense playing in my ears all the time and still hear and acknowledge everything around me…

As a disabled web accessibility practitioner. This pisses me off. Extremely. GENERATIVE AI DOES NOT AND CANNOT EVER REPRESENT DISABLED PEOPLE. Just fucking hire disabled people like me who know what they're doing. Believing AI over disabled people is ABLEISM and DEHUMANIZING. For fucks sake.

i feel like i’m the only person on bluesky who hasn’t had a pecan pie today. p.s. it’s obviously pronounced “pecan”

* Reply to Charlie
"Pecan" is the only correct way
Nick Taylor @nickyt.online • 1h 100% agree it's "Pecan". I know @charliegroll.com says, "Pecan", but it's definitely "Pecan".

being disabled and chronically ill is weird cause what you see in this picture is me, my sweet tiddies, my sweet puppy, and a fun training session at the park. what you don’t see is the part where i almost passed out and threw up from fatigue and high heart rate as soon as we got home 🥲

a landscape of a South Florida state park, with lush green grass in the foreground, a lake in the mid ground, and trees in the distant background. in the right foreground is myself and my dog. i’m a short femme, wearing a tiny cropped black tank top, short black athletic shorts and an unzipped black hoodie. i’m looking down at my dog, a tri color cavalier spaniel, who is sitting between my feet looking up at me.

My 11 yr old is doing geography homework & kept asking Alexa for facts. I gave him a lecture about AI & media literacy & evaluating sources & the way young men who never learned how helped elect Trump. As example we asked Alexa if ivermectin cures Covid. “Hmm,” “she” said, “I don’t know.”
