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:
Adult Immunization Schedule by Age
Stay up-to-date on getting recommended vaccines. View and print CDC immunization schedules for adult

BRB, have to find all the people who said we were being hyperbolic when we said they were going to build concentration camps....
Nikki McCann Ramírez@nikkimcr.bsky.social · 2y agoTrump announces an executive order authorizing a 30,000 capacity migrant detention center in Guantanamo. "Some of them are so bad we don't even trust the countries to hold them because we don't want them coming back, so we're going to send them out to Guatanamo Bay."
anyway, here’s my dog. i hope his incredible puppy eyes help you get through the day 💕
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.
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?
PsyPost@psypost.bsky.social · 2y agoPolitical fear, media polarization, and identity-driven politics have fueled exhaustion and learned helplessness in Americans, leading many to disengage from political news. #Politics #PoliticalNews #MediaPolarization #Neuroscience #Exhaustion
In some good news, Japanese researchers develop peptide preventing COVID-19 infections. I am constantly stressed about my kids catching covid again. Glad to see some progress. archive.md/2025.01.23-0...

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?
tfw your therapist is like “i need you to know that literally everything you just described feeling/thinking/doing is because you have ptsd” 🥲

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.
would anyone be down for a cozy minecraft stream tomorrow night? youtu.be/sozfZvJ0nB0?...

I wish all the andrew tate listening little zoomer/gen alpha fuck boys would just listen to The Basement Yard and become respectable members of society
OH, ALSO! I can like, fully headband with these on? and they don't move?? but they're also super comfy!? I'm not sure how it's possible, and I think it might be a miracle of modern science...
Emmy | Pixi@pixi.bsky.social · 2y agoI’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…
