Impossible at the moment to cleverly sum up who I am. Maybe later. Foremost, I'm a Reiki Master, so I'm very focused on the energies of healing (people, places, events...) Oh, and coffee...

I voted to reject RFK Jr.'s nomination to HHS.
I cannot in good conscience support someone who denies and will dilute our public health protections, sow distrust in science, and oversee massive cuts to health care programs for vulnerable Americans.

The market started to tank, and suddenly, he said, “Oh, didn’t you guys already have a plan to deal with the border back in December? I love that—I’ll take that.”
This is Mr. Art of the Deal.

USAID.gov is down. Why is this concerning? Trump has no legal authority to eliminate a congressionally funded independent agency. The work of USAID is vital, and if this can happen to them, it can happen to any of us.

DYK? The Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) is kinda a big deal. For 65 years, the MMWR provided weekly, real-time data & analysis about disease outbreaks & emerging health threats. The MMWR's continuous stream of data-driven information -the voice of the CDC- was stopped in January 2025.
