Let me introduce myself: I’m Doris. I don’t follow back unless I want to. I don’t want anyone in my dms. I love the block button. I’m here to read interesting things from other people and share pics of my cats. I may emote occasionally or recommend books.

The Trump administration is scrubbing the CDC’s website of documents on reproductive rights issues, sexual health, intimate partner violence, and more.

I'm trying to save them.

You can find the deleted docs at CDCGuidelines.com - I'll be adding more over the weekend.

I think that I have Spring fever. We made it up to the balmy 40s.

It also found that over 59% of those killed were women, children and people over the age of 65.

If anyone knows Beverly Ann Hines, please tell her she’s my hero. I must if she achieved her ambition. I just found her class pic, 1959 Fort Walton Beach, Choctawhatchee High School.

I continue to be deeply moved by this statement to the heavens by President Carter.

Threads has become a cesspool. I do like to be involved with benign fun conversations when people ask certain questions. But it is hard wading through all the engagement bait and rage bait.

This is another book that I enjoyed this year. I am not a huge sci/fi reader. I admit, the cat in the suit on the front cover and Wil Wheaton were big draws for me 😂 After the first few pages, I knew it was a good choice for me. It’s a fun book 💙📚

I guess the fake accounts have made it over. I’ve been trying to weed them out by their comments and posting and follower count. But I just got a follow from a person using a picture of an actual person that I know. It had over 1k followers. 🤦‍♀️

I can’t tell you how many apps I’ve downloaded, trying to help me drink more water. I got this cup when I started chemo… I had been the only thing to work for me 😂
