I’m on day 17 without booze and wow, I feel a LOT better already. 😱
New Gallup poll shows that just 54% of Americans say they drink alcohol—"the lowest Gallup has recorded since first measuring alcohol use in 1939," per a press release. The trend coincides with growing understanding that even moderate drinking is unhealthy.

Listening to the Bye Bye Birdie soundtrack on vinyl as I glitter this morning … I was in the chorus of this in HS in the 90s.
I realized that the equivalent for a teen today would be performing in a musical written in the 90s about the 80s. 🤯

LSU’s Pennington Biomedical Research Center Just Gave Anti-Vax Hype a Home
Pennington's appointment of a notorious anti-vaxxer, Robert Malone, gives him a prestigious LSU title that the CDC now amplifies, while university officials spin the move as routine and harmless.

I got to see it from afar when I was there a few weeks ago. The campus transformation is going to be huge when done.

There is a post circulating on Bluesky encouraging the moving of a frozen turkey straight into a pot of hot oil. We are combating this misinformation the best way we know how - through the power of dance music.

I was supposed to travel for vacation but due to multiple plot twists, I’m home instead. Spent yesterday just vegging, watching tv. Today has been tasks around the house, & it’s taking more time than expected. I think it’s good I’m just taking a week off to catch up on life.

The DOE just cut multiple fields from the “professional degree” list, shrinking loan access for future workers. Nursing, PAs, PT, OT, audiology, public health, social work, & education master’s all got dropped.
And yes, they’re fields dominated by women.

Nursing is no longer counted as a 'professional degree' by Trump admin
