Well I’m nobody but I loved it. It made me feel sane for a change!
To pretend that only some people are "vulnerable" to the worst effects of COVID – or any disease for which we have effective vaccines – is to sentence more and more Americans to disability and death.
When I got sick, I had a three-year-old son. I could no longer chase after him on the playground, no longer take him running with me and stop halfway at our local splash pad. I couldn't pick him up.
Fort 18 months, I dealt with exhaustion, headaches, heart problems, and more. I could no longer eat gluten. I could no longer run.
I don't smoke. I don't eat meat or dairy. I avoid refined sugars. I'd been living like this my entire adult life when I first contracted COVID at age 38, in 2023. Despite being fully vaccinated at that point, I didn't recover in the expected timeline.
In fact, my symptoms developed into Long Covid.
I urge you to reconsider both decisions.
Limiting access to vaccines puts us all at risk; we are all "vulnerable" when it comes to COVID.
Take me, for example: I've been running long distances for fun since I was 11. Regular exercise five days per week.
I was deeply disturbed by the June 9 announcement of the termination of all 17 members of the CDC ACIP committee. I was equally disturbed by Mr. Kennedy's revisions to vaccine guidance, which would make life-saving and disability-preventing vaccines harder to get for nearly everyone.

Air quality was bad and the race was crowded so I wore a mask for the 10K I ran this weekend. #stillmasking #weprotectus
Thank you!!
Very excited for Chicago-based Beacon, which makes a far-UVC device to kill viruses and bacteria – $1.6m seed round just announced!

The child is too young for Novavax, which I understand is good for about 6 months. Thanks in advance!
Hello, fellow #CovidConscious folks. I remember at some point reading that the efficacy of mRNA vaccines starts fading at 4 months, but a pharmacist denied a booster for my child today (4 months after their last one). Am I remembering that right? Does anyone have a good source?
Thank you! This means so much to me!!
Everything's too much all the time, but I've got a new story out and I'm proud of it. Thanks to the crew at @redividermag.bsky.social for giving it a home: redivider.emerson.edu/revision/
I just... after the fall they had, this is quite a choice
UnitedHealthcare just quietly changed my insurance benefits so that my therapy costs went from $25 / week to $80 / week and my husband's went from $25 / week to $160 / week.
A 4.8x cost increase.
And we have "great insurance."
I do not know this Brenna but as a fellow Brenna I am proud

Thank you! This is so generous!
Thank you for putting this together! Can’t wait to dig in.
Hooray! Didn’t know she had a new one out but I love her work!
If the bedroom closet doors are open before bed, my husband and I say that we’re going to close them “for feng shui reasons” and NOT because we’re afraid monsters or goblins will get out
WellBefore has some great options. I like the KF94 style. I mostly wear the Flo Mask, but it’s big and not for everyone. Another option is the 3M Aura, which I find very comfortable. Thank you for masking up again! It’s a smart thing to do!!
If I were trying to convince the world I were a brilliant coding genius, I would simply not mess up a mail merge.

Everything is terrible but I have a new story out from CALYX and I'm proud of it and maybe it will give you a break from doomscrolling: www.calyxpress.org/excerpts/lan...
I hate that they took the ruffles off the edges of lasagne noodles and put them on the edges of toilet paper
As someone who learned to drive in Maryland, this seems fair
make *them* make *you* comply; they usually can't (👇) and introducing widespread friction to these programs makes them slower and more expensive: both buying time for targeted parties, and turning these raids into terrible investments of effort, money, and energy...which even GOP voters don't want
In today’s small wins: Today, I got three (3) white Boomer women in my family fired up and contacting their reps to express their displeasure with current administration policies. Brand-new for them. Here’s hoping it sticks and spreads.
