RFK Jr is an f’ing idiot and it will take years for HHS and the CDC to recover the credibility they’re losing.

'Trump's accusations - some of which appeared to mirror Russian talking points about the #UkraineWar - came hours after US officials met a Russian delegation. Zelensky later accused Trump of "living in a disinformation space" created by Russia'. A factcheck exercise: www.bbc.com/news/article...

😭 Howie the crab (of TikTok fame) has passed away at 9-1/2 years old, well beyond the typical crab lifespan. She and her person Laura educated many on topics from molting to leashed walks to hat fashion to food preferences. Thank you for adding joy to my world!

While the Governor went to the White House for the signing of an executive order to ostracize four trans kids in Virginia who just wanted to play sports with their friends and spoke at a press conference to condemn those same kids, this happened on his watch. This is the product of his priorities.

🩹 My surgery splint is supposed to stay on for 3 more days. 👍 But the med team made a thumb hole in the ace bandage when they secured it. The fabric around the hole kept fraying, making the splint loose. 🧵 So I machine-sewed it while it was still half on my wrist & then wrapped it back up. 🏆

My take on what happened to the NEH and what it means for public history. And my call to Ken Burns to step up. The NEH made his career, He is the single largest recipient of NEH (and taxpayer) funds. Ever. And he now has his a foundation. Will he fund the banned projects? youtu.be/Mpzunb1kPSs

Excellent read for all of us in Virginia. The governor and the attorney general are complicit in their silence about what is going on across the Potomac. And they are both selling out regular working people in Virginia.

Remember, Tom Hanks never learned about the Tulsa Massacre until 4 years ago. The ban on Black History is actually to prevent Black people from learning it because White Americans don’t learn about any of it at all.

How long until the Library of Congress faces a purge? Should historians be getting what resources they can now? I'm imagining anything related to the civil rights movement, anti-fascism, and even public health could be gone soon.

Happy Valentine's Day, especially to anyone who might identify with one of the letters in LGBTQ, particularly the day after someone Trumpy stripped the letter T and then the letter Q from the National Park Service website for Stonewall in New York City.
