@aprilpowerstv.bsky.social HR question! My HR lists well over 100 ethnicities to choose from. A person can choose to identify as one of many Indigenous identities, Malaysian, Spanish, or Turkish--but not as a Jew. What categories would you recommend be added to capture Jewish ethnicities? 💙

I don’t think people realize the psychological terror of seeing these constant Nazi salutes is inflicting on Jewish people specifically.

The policy lead for CDC’s H5N1 response has resigned as egg prices are through the roof & the more dangerous D1.1 genotype just spilled over into dairy cattle.

The chaos of the last few weeks has been devastating to public health. RFK Jr waiting in wings to finish it off.

Wear a respirator.

The policy lead for CDC's H5N1 response has abruptly resigned.

Sources tell me CDC's response to the bird flu pandemic has been severely hobbled by the chaos of the past two weeks.
LinkedIn post: On January 24th I formally resigned from my position with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). I started at CDC in 2010, and I have spent 20 years in public service, including my 15 years in service at the federal level. Here is a little bit of what I wrote in my resignation, because I'm not sure that anyone is actually going to read it. "I feel honored to be among the public health professionals that have had the privilege to work at CDC. As I reflect on my own experiences and accomplishments during my time here, I am humbled by the magnitude and the importance of our work. To my colleagues: we have worked together through chaos and uncertainty, transition, reorganization, preparation, and response. You are the most selfless, dedicated, and passionate people I know. I have watched you work around the clock, take additional details, deployments, and responsibilities, try to balance work and family, forego self-care, and keep pushing and work together to protect the public’s health. I’ve seen your sacrifice. I want you to know that your support and guidance has been invaluable, and I am proud of the work we have accomplished together." While I was backing up files I found my oath that I signed in 2010. I believe in our work, and I am sad to be leaving federal service. But I have immense gratitude for all of the opportunities that I've had and the connections that I've made. I will continue to protect the public's health in a different capacity (stay tuned...) but for now, thank you for trusting me.

@hrishikesh.co @joshuamalina.bsky.social How is it that whatever episode we watch, it's somehow absurdly relevant? 😭
Still frame from S6 of The West Wing depicting Mary McCormack in the situation room. The caption reads, "We have a contingency plan to invade Canada?"

Just a reminder that there’s an app available for your TV called PBS RETRO where you can watch all sorts of wonderful old pbs shows like Mr. Rogers and Reading Rainbow, you know, in case you might need that sort of energy right now

How does one even post in a place that isn't toxic? I feel like I don't even know wholesome content anymore.

Um, should I buy a stainless paella pan for BF or just keep using my 12" ceramic skillet
Apparently I make paella now

Taking Covid precautions isn’t “living in fear”. It’s living in reality.

Taking steps to avoid infection shows you’re adaptable, compassionate and resilient. It shows you know your health & the health of others is more important than any reckless activities.

It shows you’re not living in denial.

Same goes for people choosing to take precautions seriously to prevent infection. We aren’t paranoid and some of us aren’t even afraid, we’re informed and behaving as such.

“Long COVID is not a psychological condition. It is a medical condition, and it should be treated as such”

Psychologizing people with Long Covid is dangerous. It prevents them from getting the care they need.

Once they understand it’s a severe medical condition - they MAY mask up avoid reinfection

They should have a Wikipedia plugin that immediately tells you at the top of every biographical entry whether the person you’re reading about is Jewish or not. I’m tired of scrolling to “Early Life”
