Was unexpectedly put in charge of the playlist for a 3 hour drive with coworkers so I went with what I consider a safe playlist (sad girls) since it matches the other thing I’m known for (sad facts)

The van hands out food, water, clothes, first aid and free HIV tests. Locals recognize "Thrivey" as it drives across the Twin Cities. The van, and everything in it, is funded by federal money that has been suddenly revoked, as the government reroutes grants from nonprofits to state health agencies.
Running on empty: Can a red HIV outreach van outlast federal cuts?
The Aliveness Project says that nobody else can replicate what they do for the high-risk communities they reach. They're still being defunded.

Highly recommend spending Esther Day with a friend you never get to see because they live on the opposite side of the country but you happen to be where they live for an unrelated reason and you have a free afternoon so you chat for like 6 hours and meet a really cute dog

Need to host an intervention for regional youth theater directors. If the majority of the kids can’t hold the accent through Act 1, don’t have them do accents. Footloose is set in Utah they shouldn’t even have southern accents to begin with

One time I used Spiders Georg as an example in a work presentation to get an approval for a half-baked manufacturing efficiency project that saved like $40 million in its first year, which is pretty wild. Not a great movie though

Huge shoutout to my 7th grade science teacher who taught us things like experiment design and controls and independent / dependent variables. Wish my coworkers got the same lesson though because I am losing my patience.
I don’t really want to talk about my favorite cheese but I do want to reminisce about the time @hennypennykenny.dftba.social sent a multi-minute voice note about cheese. More people should send their friends weird voice notes

There is already a massive access issue for certain Tuberculosis medications (currently isoniazid, previously moxifloxacin) in the US that is being exacerbated by imported ingredient pricing. This is almost certainly going to make that worse.
Tyler King@tyleraking.com · last wk.I dunno but it should probably be a bigger deal that the White House announced it wants to slap a 100% tariff on drug imports at the same time it is eliminating Medicare drug subsidies. And we’re talking about critical life-saving drugs like insulin, blood thinners, antibiotics, and heart meds.
re cyclospora and every other outbreak: no one’s talking about the most critical part of CDC that RFK Jr destroyed — the purge of senior leadership and all their years of experience. outbreak responses are fundamentally broken without the head attached and he intentionally decapitated the agency

1/3 Yesterday, we at CDC/HHS received this newsletter from RFK Jr. 🧠🪱 From it, you’d have no idea that CDC and our partners are dealing with Ebola, measles, and a major multistate Cyclospora outbreak.
As I've said many times, the revocation of TPS for Haitians is horrific on its face, but it's *also* going to have a devastating cascade of effects because Haitian workers are the backbone of health and human services supports for elderly and disabled folks, especially here in Massachusetts.
