I just am in the mood to destroy my life and drag others with me with all the poor coping skills I have managed to learn through my years of unchecked trauma and depression.

I am, in fact, medicated.

Anyone else in their 30s starting to feel deranged like you’re 20 again or just me?

An entire sea cannot sink a ship unless the water gets inside of the ship. The same with the negativity of the world: it can’t bring you down unless you let it get inside of you. We cannot control what happens around us, but we can control our reaction to it. May your day be peaceful, my friends. 😊

Thank you! It’s an assembly of all live plants I could cut clippings out of from my work’s cafeteria. They are happily rooting in water by my kitchen window ✨

Do you need a measles booster?
Born before 1957 unlikely, probably exposed
Vaccinated between 1957-1962 maybe, check with your doctor 
Vaccinated between 1963-1967, yes
Vaccinated between 1968-1989, maybe check with your doc 
Vaccinated after 1989 (both doses - nope)

One of my companies informed me they cancelled a $2m conference in Florida. Why ?

They didn’t feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses.

That’s a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue.

The cost of tariffs isn’t just the cost of the tariff

The transgenic vs transgender debate is a stark reminder that scientists speak a language that makes sense to us but not always to the public.  We’re at a critical moment for science communication-there has never been a time when bridging this gap has been more important.

Congressman Al Green
Today, the House GOP censured me for speaking out for the American people against POTUS’s plan to cut Medicaid.  I accept the consequences of my actions but I refuse to stay silent in the face of injustice.  We shall overcome.
