I got an email from #CDC #MMWR. Y'all? Thoughts?

Health & science journos and medpros, URGENT heads up! CDC is purging data! Grab what you can.

Today's memory was a bit of a gut punch. Santa Monica. The whole region needs raindows right now. 😔

Emma is in the dog hospital w diabetes & pancreatitis. I'm so glad they can make her better but there may be a gofundme in my future. She looks so weak! 💔 Also, pics of her with my child back in 2011 & also the day she became part of our fam. ❤️ #dogsofbluesky #seniordogs #seniordogsofbluesky

Show me a picture on your phone that has your energy that isn’t a selfie.

You get two because I've had that kind of day.

35 yrs ago this week, my sis died by suicide. She was 15. 21 yrs ago this week, my mother died of multi-organ failure after years of fighting physical & mental health battles, my father, & to recover from her child's suicide. Thanksgiving isn't my favorite, but now I try to honor them both. My fam:

That time I went pandemic crazy and shaved my head bald, as one did back then.

An interesting convo on Facebook. #rccx #hypermobility #cahx #wgs

I would like to introduce you to The Sisters, my pandemic babies who are now four. Always adopt cats in pairs! #catsofbluesky

In the era to come, we will have to fight hard to remember Vitalii Volodymyrovych Skakun and his mother. They will tell us to forget.

I'm trying.

Here, you have it, i don’t know what to do with all of this fear, please make it go away, please remind me what hope tastes like, i am beginning to forget

A whole mood.

More remnants.

Saudade is a Portuguese word that can't quite be translated into English. It's longing, sort of. A yearning for something lost that you suspect or know you can never have again. I associate it with the grief I feel for my brother, who died in 2020. This song wrecks me.

Things I posted on an account unconnected with my job. I saved them before I deactivated Twitter. Just poems that move me, words, and musings. I don't have the energy to make a second account here, so you get work posts and weird posts.

Some breathtaking pictures — despite the cloud cover — taken by #TotalEclipse2024 viewer Jason Keem at Evangola State Park in Angola, NY. I'm telling you there are no words to describe how beautiful this was, and words are my job.

A promising break in the clouds!

I have settled in at a state park on Lake Erie in western NY, not ten minutes from the house my mom grew up in. We're hopeful the clouds may push east just before #TotalSolarEclipse2024. 🤞🏻 The folks next to me have got GEAR. @texaspublicradio.bsky.social
