If you live abroad and have even an inkling of a thought about traveling to the United States, STOP.....forget about it. If your skin is anything but "Casper" white, it's not worth the risk.

This is really the whole ball game right now, particularly among the institutions that make up civil society. (my parents definitely had this poster when I was growing up)

The parents of an unvaccinated 6-year-old girl who just died from measles in Texas say they have no regrets for refusing to vaccinate their child. “The measles are good for the body... She’s better off where she is now.”

once you actually internalize that society is fake and we just made everything up and none of this is real other than the "realness" people have placed upon it, it's insane that anyone thought any of this would work in the first place

Want a new recipe for disaster? Health Secretary RFK Jr thinks bird flu should be allowed to spread so “the birds which are immune can be identified”. Experts are understandably horrified.

I know I post a lot of Cornish sunsets, and I hope it isn’t boring. I do it in the hope it offers people a moment of calm. I took this a few summers ago in Carbis Bay. Pause for a moment and drift away on the warm breeze. May it soothe you from any anxiety. Rest well, my friends. 😊 #nature #peace

The secretary of transportation went on Fox & Friends this morning and trashed air travel, portraying the current air traffic control system as a disaster, and then claimed taking public transit is "dangerous." I miss the DEI days when it was safe to travel.

It's been that kind of day (month) so I'm posting some mental health resources for crisis situations: 1. Suicide and Crisis Lifeline: 988. Call 988 instead of 911 (although please be aware cops may still come to convey person to medical services.) ASL services can be reached via 1800-273-TALK.

I have to say, I am not enjoying watching the Trump White House and our courts going toe to toe. I’m deeply nervous about how this is going to turn out. You?

I just signed the first bill of the year: lowering costs for small grain buyers. Prosperity for our ag community is not a partisan issue. I’m glad to see legislators come together in a bipartisan way to get this done.

Spent some time on TikTok for the first time in ages. For You page was full of people of all ages from various countries saying they were avoiding buying anything from the USA. Yikes.

The coolest thing I’ve seen today is that a bunch of volunteer public health professionals and developers have restored the CDC website from before January 20th 2025. This differs from an archive in that they want to rebuild the links between pages and replicate the full website.

Best thing about this article: Whales are gay. (Obvs!) SECOND best thing: There is a human photographer who has whale gaydar. “… one of the photographers asked: ‘Are you sure that this is a male and a female?’ So they pored through the entire series of photos to get a closer look.”
