Please don’t ask a chronically ill person if they’re “better yet” We’re not getting better. That’s the nature of chronic illness We adapt. We become better at coping. We become skilled at hiding our pain Accepting the loss of one’s health is hard. We put in the work. We need you to accept it too

The only public communication from CDC since April 1 has been a single Twitter post promoting RFK Jr., which CDC staff described as “propaganda.” All usual notices, reports, & other forms of public communication - including information about new disease outbreaks in the US - have been blocked by HHS

You have three days, starting today, to leave a public comment with the FDA about, say, why COVID-19 boosters should remain available to everyone and also free. "Individual consumer" is the category you most likely want (unless you are one of the other categories; if so, choose that).

When you’re living with chronic illness, planning in advance is incredibly stressful Whether it’s a doctors appt, social visit, travel or work…anything that’s inflexible will steal spoons Our illnesses are unpredictable. We never know when they will flare Giving us the freedom to cancel is a gift

Not feeling good lately, both physically & emotionally. I dipped my toes into an online sangha, and the leader is ailing. I’m hoping for a bright spot in this 11H/♊️ year for the two weeks Mercury transits ♊️ , but so far Mercury as my timelord hasn’t been fun.

Guess we weren’t being hyperbolic when we said the MAHA crew was going to target vaccines, Were we? Where is Bill Cassidy? Vaccines save lives. ALL of them do.

XFG* looks to me like the likely summer wave generator. From modeling NY growth: 🔸~65% wkly advantage 🔸Fastest since JN.1 or KP.2 🔸Slower than the combo of KP.2/KP.3/KP.3.1.1 🔸Dominance in NY within 2 weeks 🔸Dominance in US in June 🔸️Dominance in Europe June or July

Just spoke with my CDC sources They said a new COVID-19 wave is hitting NYC and LA. Cases up~20% this week expected to rise further over the next month. Exactly 4 months since the January 20 peak, the virus is resurging.

Boyle: "Out from CBO, just tonight, are the distributional effects of this bill. And what does it show? The bottom 10 percent of Americans will actually be poorer as a result of this bill with the biggest benefit going to the top 1 percent."

There’s still time to comment and make it clear that everyone needs the right and ability to get Covid boosters! The more people who push back, the better the odds they reverse this harmful policy decision.

So it goes. The US has decided to retreat from the world and others will inevitably step into the gap.

how it feels to notice patterns, track omens, and notice symbols to understand my life as a mythic quest

Everyone 6 months and older is eligible to get a flu vaccine. It makes no sense to restrict Covid vaccines to only people who have specific medical conditions. The FDA is basing its decisions on politics, not science.

…healing is more accurately conceived of as a series of actions, not one that fixes everything. A process. A dissertation. A multi-volume treatise.

To seek perfection in health is an Ableist/Eugenic construction. There are some things we will never heal in this lifetime, & that is okay. The animals always tell me it's better to love yourself exactly the way you are, disabilities and all. #Disabled #Disability #MCAS #AuHD #EDS #Migraines

RFK Jr. is calling for international cooperation on global health issues. We were once part of such a system called the World Health Organization. But because he and the rest of The Regime have an agenda dictated by conspiracy theories, they have ensured that the U.S. is isolated and alone.

I love that no etymology of "nimrod" as an insult to someone's intelligence requires the inclusion of Bugs Bunny & Elmer Fudd; Nimrod was a mythical hunter, but Bugs sarcastically calls Elmer "Nimrod"; Fudd is so foolish that "Nimrod" has taken on the meaning of unintelligent. @merriam-webster.com
