For those asking if it’s fine to get the flu shot now: technically anytime is fine, but optimal time to get the flu shot corresponds to what we’ve established as pretty solid patterns of elevated flu activity (mid-late October+). For me? I scheduled to get both the flu and Covid vax early October

It’s safe to say that Pebble and Bucket are very much bonded and adore each other. Seeing the two play/sleep/rough house with each other always makes me tear up a little as it was something I knew Bucket wanted from Mako, but due to her age/illness, she wasn’t able to. I love these two so much

This past weekend, I got the chance to really escape and remember how much of a rave head I am at EDC 2026. I was surrounded by an amazing crowd of people and loved every second of it. Cannot wait to join you all next year under the electric sky.

Nope. IDGAF. You and the rest KNEW what you were doing. You CHOSE to ignore the mountains of red flags. You all DOUBLED DOWN on your hatred and only changed your tune when it impacted YOU. You don’t get to apologize after opening the damn. The damage is done. Sorry is so fucking late.

I wish I could add that super fast snippet after every new drug that says something about all the “background” checks they’ll do to check if you’ll be in allegiance to his high and mighty orange turd. No thanks.

The topic of Grief is not an easy topic to navigate, even harder to capture on cinema. It is a deeply personal journey that ebbs and flows erratically throughout the course of ones life Hamnet from Chloe Zhao captured it. She captured it perfectly. I'm still thinking about it long after watching it

The other worst type of person on this planet - Those who "review" products but instead will give low ratings b/c of other issues not related to the actual product. Perhaps I just want to see actual reviews of the movie? This is why I've stopped caring about Amazon reviews.

A list of one star reviews for a movie on amazon complaining about technical aspects or amazon pricing. Not reviews about the actual movie.

Today marks the 1 year anniversary where I was illegally fired amongst thousands of other US federal employees. I had worked for more than 10 years in the service of the US federal government and while it had its rough times, I loved this job. And on that day, it was all taken away from me.

Honestly all this intense arguments over the spending bill while we continue to fund a domestic fascist police group and international petty projects... Yes of course it bothers me. Federal employees were the first to be gutted. Unfairly/Illegally. All to save $$ that was eclipsed by MORE spending.

The fact that people are actually entertaining/willing to give MTG a second chance despite her years of vile, despicable, deplorable, and inhumane treatment of her fellow humans is evidence enough that we live in the dumbest fucking timeline ever

Don’t be fooled by Marjorie Taylor Greene’s redemption act | Opinion

U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene was not a bystander to Trumpism. To suggest she merely misunderstood the man now strains credulity beyond its limits

I’d invite folks to please stop suggesting that hand sanitizer is the key to preventing norovirus. All of you who have followed us for so many years know better now that SOAP AND WATER is the only effective method in reducing norovirus cases. Hand sanitizers do diddly squat against this virus.

We do indeed live in the stupidest timeline No evidence Just vibes And now we’re about to put babies at risk

A panel that advises #CDC on vaccine policy votes to do away with the recommendation all babies should be vaccinated against #hepatitisB at birth. "We are doing harm," said panel member Cody Meissner, who voted against this #ACIP recommendation. www.statnews.com/2025/12/05/c...

If you need any further evidence on why CDC is broken, just look at the past few ACIP meetings. These “experts” can barely run a structured meeting with appropriate due process. You trust that these charlatans know what’s best for America’s health when they can barely understand the word “AGENDA”?
