Insurance wouldn't cover checking my titers, so my doc gave the go ahead to get another MMR vax. Because *screw that*! No THANK YOU.
Because I'm talking about measles. It is also A VERY VERY VERY CONTAGIOUS VIRUS. If someone is in a room and has measles and then leaves that room and you enter that room within TWO HOURS (depending on humidity) you can get measles.
And people are contagious for four days before the rash appears.

beyond being an absolutely miserable illness, measles can cause immune amnesia. It wipes out your immune systems memory of how to fight every infection, every vaccine you've ever had.

I’m up from a migraine nap to tend to Astra (my canine best friend), and grateful for your generous hearts. Freelancing while disabled is…precarious.

Former Texas Lege reporter here. A Dem hasn't held this seat since 1990. Tarrant is the safest of red suburban counties. There is no way the TX and national GOP aren't in panic mode right now.
JUST IN: Democrats flip a red seat in the Texas Senate.
Taylor Rehmet wins against Leigh Wambsganss, a conservative activist who helped lead right-wing efforts to take over TX school boards.
With all early vote, and 95% of precincts, in, Dem up 57/43.
Trump won this seat by 17% in Tarrant County.

A few years ago I was at a hangout with a 40 year old twitter mutual and a few of his friends, and the 23 year old he was dating at the time. I texted a friend of ours, bc it was weird she wasn’t there, and she told me he had assaulted her. I called a Lyft and realized my presence is an endorsement.
Your presence is an endorsement, even if not being present might have negative repercussions on your work.
I promise you, even if someone is your mentor and friend, you should have the ability to say they made a mistake in FUCKING COMMUNICATING CASUALLY AND ALL FRIENDLY WITH JEFFREY EPSTEIN NOT WRITE AN EIGHT POST THREAD ON HOW WE SHOULDNT JUDGE

I witnessed ICE using tear gas on children.
They shattered a window of low-income housing where a disabled vet lives. He got gassed in his own home.

This was the kind of treatment the union activists got today from Oregon’s largest unions alongside coalitions like @jwjpdx.bsky.social. They fired projectiles and injured many demonstrators and broke out neighbors windows. Gas for a half dozen miles in each direction. #iceout

25-30% of people consistently fail any given test of character. It's a thing. We gotta exist in this world not knowing for certain which ones they are. But if one is revealed, if you know what you know and still esteem them? Now you're demonstrating that you condone their actions.
I feel like someone’s gotta say something, so I guess it’s going to be me. I’m 100% certain that I either know, have met, or have sought meetings with people who have done horrible things in their lives, too. How about y’all? Association is not causation, and it's not guilt — of anything. (1/8)

Urgent request: I’m at $243/$925 for Feb. rent, and coming up fast on the month’s end.
If you have $5 to spare, you’d be doing me a very good turn—a painful chronic illness & debilitating migraines have made things extra difficult lately.
Thank you for your help and shares!

Measles kills. Get your vax renewed if you're older (or check your titers, though insurance may rather pay for a new shot; check to see if they would require a booster from a doctor office (mine!) or a pharmacy (other folks)).
And vax your kids. There's no herd immunity anymore.
And vax your kids. There's no herd immunity anymore.
Just a few months ago, a child in the US developed the most feared complication of measles (subacute sclerosing panencephalitis) from an infection they had years ago when they were too young to be vaccinated. I hate to think about what is being unleashed by this virus as a future tragedy.
