Been more quiet due to cats' illnesses etc.
Likely still be a bit quiet
+ try and do more hobby things to help.
I do struggle to balance presence between the two.
I'll likely still keep up with news, even if not posting in my lil corner here, nor new (intense) blog posts.
Much love, much fight. x

Trump again just implied that the MMR vaccine causes autism.
Many studies have shown that there is no relationship between MMR vaccine and the development of autism.
This one followed every single child born in Denmark from 1991 through 1998 (n=537,303). There was no association.
