Nearly a month later, the silence from the Trump administration is deafening
No flags at half mast to honor a fallen hero
If extremist violence is the problem, why does addressing it depend on who pulls the trigger?

You might've seen a CDC press release today about new vaccine recs
In it, Jim "I hate vaccines" O'Neill spews misinfo
Tl;dr: Covid and measles-mumps-rubella+varicella vax recs should effectively be the same as before (assuming no HHS tweaks to ACIP rec language)

We read it so you don’t have to

Rumor (but we’re gonna guess it’s not wrong):

HHS told Monarez to fire Dan Jernigan, Demetre Daskalakis, and Deb Houry. She refused. Then they fired her and said they would still fire all of three of them, so they all resigned.

Yesterday there was an attempted mass murder of CDC staff and yet RFK the Lesser has not directly spoken to the head of the CDC. Not a single word condemning the violence from him or the President.

Turns out T injections and methylene blue can’t fill the empty space where a heart would.

#Writers! A question: what helps you get out of a dry spell and get the words to start flowing again?

When you’re exhausted from your day job and your dog is doing its level best to demand attention, and you’re trying to think of something you could eat for dinner…what helps you make time to write?

I’ll be honest y’all, this week hasn’t been great in terms of word count. Oversleeping, migraine, exhausted after work - reasons on reasons for not focusing on writing. I did have huge inspiration for a new plot point that will make this story so much richer…I’ll take that win.

Another #5amwritersclub morning, about 1k words of this fantasy story done. Good lord #firstdrafts are unending…

#5amwritersclub was a success this morning. 1500 words on the page - don’t ask me how! Anyone else wish their characters were this chatty at a more reasonable hour?

The Furry Assistant is soaking up the last bits of the weekend. Fingers (and paws) crossed that the upcoming week is filled with productivity and word count for me, and lots of snuggles and treats for the Furry Assistant.
