Here’s the deal: I can’t receive any vaccines until the middle of December. Knocking down my immune system every 6 months means I have to wait until 2 weeks before my next infusion so my immune system has the ability to respond to the vaccine. I/2

@jvl.bsky.social Hey JVL! Just saw MTG tweeted out her frustration with Speaker Johnson in re: budget.
May I invite myself to join you two for a beer over a blooming onion?!?

Is “Have the day you deserve” the new way to say “Fuck you!” Without saying “Fuck you”?

Many thanks to everyone for Discworld suggestions!
@fablefoolery.bsky.social: the video was incredible! It outlined the entire progression.
@sethbrower.com and your chart will be invaluable!
@thomh51.bsky.social & @theemeraldwizard@bsky.social Your suggestions are my starting point. 1/2

Thanks to everyone for the Discworld reading order suggestions! I’m not certain that it’s any clearer but it helps to see the options! I’ll be back with what I’ve decided to do.

@rincewind.run You’ve likely answered this before but where do I start with Discworld? Some say to start at the first book, others suggest bouncing around.
The bookseller I was is generally in the “Read in the order the author wrote.”

What say you?

Dear Shari Redstone,

Never disregard the words of the inimitable @therickwilson.bsky.social :

Everything Trump Touches Dies.

You’d best be worrying about whether that merger will actually happen.

It did NOT have to be like this.

He could have been impeached TWICE.
He could have been convicted of numerous crimes
He could have been resisted by his party
He could have been reined in by SCOTUS

AND we could have had Kamala Harris as President.

It did not have to be like this.

1 in 5 Americans depend on Medicaid for health insurance, but they don't all know they're on it because it may go by another name (e.g., Medi-Cal, Apple, BadgerCare). I identified the name of each state's Medicaid program. If you or someone you love is in one of these programs, call 202-224-3121.

Chef bought a Harvard Tshirt. Not because he went to or aspires to go to Harvard. As he says “a small act of support for Harvard and defiance.”

Yet another reason why I love him!

“This is a moral moment. It is not left versus right, it’s right versus wrong.”

This is the rallying call.

Thank you, @booker.senate.gov

I am so glad to be in the same side in this battle with @therickwilson.bsky.social ! Unbeknownst to him, we’ve been in opposite sides of battles for MANY years and he’s devastated my side throughout.

But when it comes to fighting for democracy, he’s an unrelenting ally & the warrior we need.

“Do not forget. Do not forgive.”

Carry this mantra forward until they’re ALL out of office.

Going to bed because tomorrow’s another working day.

To those of you watching the joint session speech, I can only quite @jvl.bsky.social :” Good luck America.”

You’re gonna need it tonight.

THIS is the epitome of peaceful protest! Speak the truth and force them to show their cowardice and bullying.

Sitting in an infusion chair for 3+ hours isn’t fun but I’m grateful for all the research done by NIAID funded organizations who developed this protocol.
And grateful my battle with this disease didn’t start under the current administration.

Democrats in the Senate:

Shut it down.
Shut it all down.

No votes without unanimous consent.
Stand up and say “No! Not on our watch.”

If you can’t do, don’t expect us to vote for you whenever your term is up.

SHUT IT DOWN NOW.
