The diet continues and so he head butted through my door to wake me up for breakfast. He also decided to throw up a hairball on the basset hound’s steps!

#caturday. He’s on a very strict diet, and I don’t think this counts as exercise!

There are not enough F bombs to describe how I feel today.

Alas, it’s been done. Now I can eat easy 🤣

I just need someone to make a song… Taco Man, to the tune of Macho Man!!! Please!!! He loves the Village People. 🤣

Every day these buttheads wake me up early, then go back to bed as soon as they’re fed and walked. But I still love them!!!

Toxicologist here! This will improve the health of zero Americans. Current synthetic food dyes are not causing health problems, and are often times used because they are actually safer than natural food dyes. Reminder that guns are the #1 cause of death of children but we are going to ban food dyes.
BREAKING: The FDA has officially announced they will be banning artificial dyes in the food supply by the end of 2026

This includes Red 40, Yellow 5, Yellow 6, Blue 1, Blue 2, Green 3

There will be a 25-26 flu vaccine and it’s the WHO formulation. The information is on the FDA’s website. I hadn’t seen this mentioned, so thought I’d share some good public health news on a Friday, after a terrible week for us all.

I’m watching my MAGA mom’s dog (mostly to help the dog). She tried to slip her cult stuff into a bag of the dog’s stuff. Straight to recycling!!! America doesn’t need any more religious boomers.

Weldon out!!! One small victory for public health!!!

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago.

But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today.

He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

Omg did he really say “did I say that?” about Zelensky??? He needs to be impeached. He has raging dementia.

They weren’t even extremely well paid, it’s a fellowship. They are the worker bees behind many outbreaks that overwhelm state, county, city and territorial health departments. This makes zero sense. And not all are even ID, some are chronic disease.
CDC source:

“We just had word that all our fellows and post doc staff are laid off effective immediately. The famous Epidemic Intelligence Service, aka the Disease Detectives, is no more. That’s 1260 staff.

They are calling this ‘Phase 1’.”

Public health. 🙋‍♀️. Like trying to do good work and knowing you’re despised for it is surreal.

My mom was recently fired from her doctor for being rude to staff at 79 years old. All her kids are low or no contact and not religious. She is lonely. This is what I remind myself about with 45. Deep down he will never know deep human connection. He will die miserable and alone (3/3).

While I acknowledge she was orphaned and had her own trauma, she never really sought out help. She just prayed. It never worked. Her children all sought out mental healthcare and most have thrived.

“Telling it like it is” is not an admirable trait. Hurt people hurt people!!! 2/3

My mother is the female equivalent of 45, except she’s also a religious zealot. Growing up like that means constantly feeling ashamed due to conflicts with everyone, being put down without sincere apology, and constantly meeting her needs (like parading into church). 1/2

In line for the women’s bathroom at the Ravens game, watched two beautiful women reunite as childhood friends. Amanda with the 3 year old and Asia whose dad has ALS, many holiday blessings. Was thinking the world needs more of you both. ❤️

As #WorldAIDSDAY comes to a close, it’s important to think how easily we could eliminate it, knowing what we do. It’s also important to recognize that PEPFAR and Ryan White are at risk in the next administration. We must fight to not go backwards!!!

I have met #SarahMcBride and #POTUS. It’s not uncommon in a small state. Sarah is as lovely in person as she is on tv. My child froze when I introduced him to Biden (then VP). He said “would you like to pet my dog?” That dog has since passed, but it’s one of my best stories.
