And if you're not sure when your last TDaP was, get one, especially if you're going to be around a baby. 10 years is max, not a minimum!
This is caused by adults not maintaining their pertussis (whooping cough) vaccines.

You should be getting a Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis) vaccine every 10 years.

We have a baby coming in the family (my first grand nephew!), so my husband and I both got vaccinated this week.
Third unvaccinated Kentucky baby dies of whooping cough.

Pertussis, best prevented with a vaccine, has killed three Kentucky babies in the last 12 months.

We buy prepared turkey from a restaurant and use our energy on sides & desserts.
Actually in the spirit of this conversation, what’s a decision you made about a past Thanksgiving holiday that really paid off? I think people often feel trapped by their lives. Sharing our experiences can liberate us from that sense of claustrophobia.
On the most recent episode of VIBE CHECK, we answer listener questions about Thanksgiving, most importantly “do you go celebrate with the family members you don’t even like?”

I went to grad school straight out of undergrad because I didn't feel ready for the "real world". Did my PhD in pandemic influenza but knew by the end lab research wasn't for me. Graduated at the end of 2009 (swine flu pandemic) and got a job with a government contractor (1/2)
What’s the lore behind choosing your career path ?

Please send me your good vibes - I had what seemed like a really good interview today for a role that could have been written specifically for me. It's a tiny company, so there's a chance salary and benefits don't line up, but if they do, this would be a step towards exec team for me!

@tonichelle.bsky.social You left your weather at Disney! Please return to claim it 😂

I was ready for cooler weather, but it was 80°F on Sunday and I would have liked some of the nice in between temps first!

Survived week 1 post-layoff. Managed to keep myself in a pretty good routine. Applied to a handful of positions and had phone calls with 2 contacts at a competitor of my previous company that currently has the contract I ran for 3 years. All I can do is keep plugging away!

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

Please, if you follow through, go further south and leave Jacksonville alone!
Need a tracker of the public figures who said they'd leave New York. It's put up or shut up time, man. Are you turning Jacksonville into a global financial hub or not?

This trip y'all. I was supposed to arrive in Jacksonville at 2:30pm. We landed at 3am. My bags are still in Atlanta. I still have a 45 minute ride home. Tomorrow is my last day at the job I've had for 15 years and I'm going to be am exhausted mess.
10 hours late, 7 hours after I was supposed to be home, I'm finally in the air to Atlanta and hoping there's still a flight to Jacksonville to catch once I get there.
Well, after 3 hours, they de-planed us then canceled the flight. Cross your fingers my 7:30pm flight with a connection through Atlanta actually happens. There are 2 little girls who expect their CC home for Halloween.

My month in NYC is officially up today, but apparently the city doesn't want to let me go - boarded the plane on time only to be told we're 42nd in line for takeoff.

the rules:

if they’re around your age and not your sibling, they’re your cousin

if they’re around your parents’ age and not your parents, they’re your aunt or uncle

easy, simple, nobody gets confused

Laid off it is, after 15 years. I'll be ok, but damn that hurts.
So either I'm getting laid off in 25 minutes or I have the world's most oblivious VP (throwing a last minute no context meeting on my calendar less than an hour after the CEO announced another round of cuts). Cross your fingers for the latter!

I am confused by Georgia being basically on the line when it feels like we only play the 4th quarter of games.
Is your team a first half team or a second half team?

This is first half points vs. second half points. If you're below the line, you score more in the first half; above the line, you score more in the second half.

Notably: every single rally (including in the small towns) was bigger than the surrounding police force available. That kind of image event is VERY IMPORTANT if you're, I dunno, demonstrating social coherence AGAINST a fascist government and it's makeshift gestapo.

I've never seen an episode of SNL, just some of the random skits that show up on social media.
Inspired by a post I just saw in which someone admitted they hadn’t seen a single episode of Friends nor the film Love Actually… what cultural hole do you have that’s a bit weird for your generation?

I’ll go first: I haven’t seen Dirty Dancing.
