And the thing about mumps is that about 14% of people aren’t protected against an exposure even if fully vaccinated; those people must rely on herd immunity. My polio-survivor father got us every vaccine available, but I still got an absolutely horrible case of the mumps at 11.
elizabethjacobs.bsky.social Elizabeth Jacobs, PhD @elizabethjacobs.bsky.social · 2d
Measles is a bellwether. Because it’s the most contagious vaccine-preventable disease, when vaccination rates drop, it’s the first to start spreading.

Now we’ve got mumps rolling up.

Expect more.

This is just the beginning of RFK Jr.’s successful infectious disease reintroduction plan.

Gave myself a stress migraine today because this sweet boy, who nearly died almost exactly four years ago, has an infection around his eye. The good news is that he has antibiotics now, and the vet gave him a good grade in being a kitty.

Among the unvaccinated, one in five people infected with measles in the United States will require hospitalization, and roughly two out of every 1,000 infected children will die of complications, regardless of medical care.

TBH, I don’t understand trading Paredes. He is a good hitter and if he’d stayed healthy last year they almost certainly would have made the playoffs even with all of the other injuries. #Astros

My dad once threw out the idea of letting #MLB teams trade prospects to “lease” non-playoff teams’ stars for a postseason. The star could veto. Dad thought it might improve parity and make things more exciting for casual fans (by ensuring that, say, a peak Mike Trout would play in EVERY postseason).

My mental health has been awful since the flare. A combination of realizing I'm losing this fight, of losing so much progress, and of feeling like a burden has hit...way too hard.

But we hit 10% of our goal today, and I cried. You...you people are amazing. Thank you.

i know i ask for a lot, but please see it this way:

if i can consistently follow the treatment plan and get the proper rest & support from my doctors, i can beat this thing and somehow return to my normal life & make a living again.

that's all i'm hoping for. to have a normal life again.

I started reading THE VANISHED BIRDS, and the MC has one of my congenital hand differences! (Mine’s bilateral and his is unilateral, but otherwise the same.) I’d never encountered that before, and didn’t realize how much I would like to.

Tamara Jerée
Cover of the book A WOLF STEPS IN BLOOD, by Tamara Jerée. It features art of a Black woman with short white hair touching the muzzle of a wolf that’s looking at her fondly. The woman is wearing a leather jacket and a choker necklace, and her ears are gauged. Cover of the book THE FLOWERS I DESERVE, by Tamara Jerée. It has slightly abstract art of a woman with horns and flowing red hair, the gray spires of a city rising up in front of her as she holds a flower and leans her head on her hand. Cover of the book THE FALL THAT SAVED US, by Tamara Jerée. It has art of a winged, red-clad figure with horns reaching a clawed hand down toward a white-clad figure who is holding a knife and falling toward the bottom of the cover. Both characters are Black, and the falling character has locs wrapped in gold.

@rahaeli.bsky.social My skin does this in response to heat. Could that be an MCAS thing? (I’m trying to decide if I actually have enough clear symptoms for a doctor to listen to me if I ever pursue a diagnosis.)

It's Black History Month.

Rebeka lost everything to cancer: savings, ability to work, their home.

They're surviving on mutual aid.

They owe over $60K in hospital bills & even more in credit card debt bc they had to live on credit when savings ran out.

PLEASE CHIP IN!
