I’m going to say again, infecting your allies with a potentially debilitating and deadly illness is extremely foolish behavior in any kind of movement. You’re doing work for the other guys.

When you hear them ask
(and you will hear them ask)
why astronauts
and Olympic athletes
are still wearing masks
in 2026,
kindly but firmly reply
that the real question is
if astronauts
and Olympic athletes
are still wearing masks
in 2026
then why aren’t the rest of us.

I’m reading the tragedies of Euripides and Hippolytos is sending me. Theseus just banished him and he’s like, Dad I swear I’m a virgin who can’t drive and although I do look at porn I did not fuck your wife because as I mentioned earlier in this play, women are disgusting

In 2026 let’s normalize masking for public health.

If we could admit that with healthcare being gutted, vaccine access restricted and previously eradicated diseases coming back… having an extra layer like a respirator makes good sense.

Let’s also normalize not mocking people who mask!

Adios has been the most wonderful teacher, competition partner, and best friend I could ever ask for. I am so grateful I got to spend this time with him. I wish we could ride together forever but at 21 years old, he has earned his retirement in South Carolina. Adios, Adios I will love you forever 🩡😭

By now
you have probably heard
the bad news:
that yet another study
has found
that Covid can cause
long-term brain alterations.

So now
you should really hear
the good news:
that there is still time
for you
to alter your behavior
so you don’t catch Covid.

Statement from the Northeast Public Health Collaborative:
The Northeast Public Health Collaborative (β€œthe Collaborative”) has reviewed the relevant scientific literature and medical professional guidance related to the hepatitis B vaccine among newborns. 
 
The Collaborative continues to recommend that all newborns receive a hepatitis B vaccine birth dose within 24 hours of delivery. Newborns born to birth parents who test positive for hepatitis B infection or have an unknown status should be vaccinated within 12 hours of birth. Additionally, all children should complete the full vaccination series within 18 months. 
 
These recommendations align with the American Academy of Pediatrics’ Recommended Child and Adolescent Immunization Schedule and reflect a consensus statement from the Northeast Public Health Collaborative. We hope the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) will join us in these recommendations. 
 
We encourage the public to consult with qualified health care professionals and clinicians and rely on trusted medical sources when making decisions about their health or the health of their children. We also urge caution in sharing or acting on unverified health claims.
 
The Northeast Public Health Collaborative is a voluntary coalition of public health agencies working together to share expertise, improve coordination, enhance capacity, strengthen regional readiness, and protect evidence-based public health in our jurisdictions.

The West Coast Health Alliance, CDPH, and Leading National Medical Organizations Continue to Recommend Hepatitis B Vaccination for Newborns
December 5, 2025

NR25-022

WCHA disagrees with CDC’s Advisory Committee’s change to decades-long vaccine recommendation that has reduced pediatric Hepatitis B infections by 99 percent

What You Need to Know: Hepatitis B is a highly infectious virus that attacks the liver and can cause serious illness and death. The hepatitis B vaccination is an effective way to prevent infection and its complications. New ACIP recommendations could lead to more children and adults getting liver disease and liver cancer.​​

SACRAMENTO – The West Coast Health Alliance (WCHA) strongly supports that hepatitis B vaccination continue to be routinely offered to all newborns, with the first dose of the vaccine given within 24 hours of birth for newborns weighing at least 2,000 grams (4 pounds, 7 ounces), followed by completion of the vaccine series. This recommendation aligns with trusted national medical organizations including the American Academy of Pediatrics​, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists​, and the Infectious Diseases Society of America.​

The Northeast Public Health Collaborative and West Coast Health Alliance have issued statements that continue to recommend the hepatitis B vaccine for all newborns.

It's encouraging that regional health alliances are stepping up to counter disinformation spread by federal health agencies.

Cover of my book The Scottish Boy, a big fat medieval action/suspense/queer romance. If you like knights and think they should kiss, this is the book for you

Cover is a dagger lying on dark foliage (mostly thistles) with the title and author name in light text, and the cover designer was Mark Ecob

Wish me luckβ€”The Scottish Boy (+ a new, similar book!!!) is out on sub to publishers, hoping to find a new home post-Unbound.

The book sold out 3 print runs & did big audio numbers on word of mouth, so I hope a new publisher can build on that. If you liked the book, pls RT πŸ’• synopsis in alt txt

Call your elected officials. Get loud. Tell them you’re demanding public health leaders follow the science.

The science says that the COVID vaccine is not only safe, but it saves lives.

Long Covid has surpassed asthma as the most common chronic illness in children.

The kids deserve protection

Home - Long COVID Treatment Trial Be part of groundbreaking Long COVID research from Scripps Research. We endeavor to conduct a portfolio of Long COVID clinical trials.

Y'all, the hospital where I had my surgery is running trials to see if GLP-1 medications can help people suffering from long COVID. It's open to any person with documented long COVID who lives in the US.

Please pass it on!
