Me: Ugh today is a long day and I have so much to think about and do

Lego: We are doing a collab with K-Pop Demon Hunters

Me: Yes ok life is worth living

I don’t know his work but he seems generically Hollywood attractive. So…sort of? Eh?

Might check out Hanukkah On Rye, that looks like a nice dumb Hallmark holiday movie.

Needed to drive into MGH today to be part of a research study and boy the traffic around Storrow is just as bad as I remember. The suburbs have spoiled me.

Happy birthday! I just turned 40 which is the new 30 and 30 is the new 25 or something so ENJOY!

How I might be introducing myself as a candidate for local office this season.

Once again: they cannot simply announce this in a press conference. They would need to change the laws, which the majority of parents in Florida oppose.

School vaccine requirements are DETERMINED BY THE STATES.

You know, that pesky 10th Amendment thing.

It is extremely dangerous that the chair of ACIP has zero insight into this.

Because I'm talking about measles. It is also A VERY VERY VERY CONTAGIOUS VIRUS. If someone is in a room and has measles and then leaves that room and you enter that room within TWO HOURS (depending on humidity) you can get measles.

And people are contagious for four days before the rash appears.

Tell me five classes you took in college

American Politics
The Middle Ages
Introduction to Islam
Studies with the Electron Microscope
Organic Synthesis

My favorite bisexual Canadian paralegal did a good video on this last year!

Binks also doesn’t like when I clean up his litter box and tries to burrow to China while I’m doing it, then once I’m gone he immediately poops in the formerly pristine box.

Me: I dunno Binks, I think you should eat more hay and less baby pellets

Binks: *throws food bowl*

Me: Ok FINE you can have more

I tried to make it clear that Congress needs to grow a spine, so we will see if those comments make it past the supervisor to the Senator.

I told him point blank that Markey needs to be louder and speak up against the atrocities that are happening in this country every day. The staffer said that Markey was going to introduce legislation to support affordability and defund ICE, and I said great - those bills won’t see the light of day.

While I was getting my frozen child inside after playing in the snow, I got a phone call from a staff member on Ed Markey‘s campaign. He wanted to know how I thought his primary campaign was going and if I had any thoughts about it.

I’m a Polio Survivor. I Don’t Want You to Get It. Polio is once again a public health threat in the United States. Grace is disappointed, though not surprised.

Since polio vaccines may be considered “optional,” do you enjoy the following? Walking, being warm, having energy, driving normally, sports, travel, functional bowel and bladder, strong bones

If you enjoy any of the above, then polio vaccines are not optional, they’re common sense #polio #vaccines

I had a dream last night where I befriended a number of wild creatures, including a bear. Like, a big brown bear.

We then dream transported into an ice rink, where the Bruins and Canadiens were going to be playing. They were doing press availability and I told the bear to eat the Canadiens.

…WTF

Also Binks has the best butt.

I’ve been largely offline today doing a very important thing.

The newest member of the household: Binks

She would be hard pressed to want to eat more than 2, but wants as much snow as possible

I was getting irrationally angry at Gmail for losing the ability to sort my emails, before I realized I might be getting my period a week early.

Well…I guess on the plus side I won’t have it for my birthday? 😅

let me put it this way. if you do not believe ICE should be abolished, you probably DO need to watch the video

ICE just shot another one of my neighbors. They had the person on the ground, being beaten by several agents, and then fired multiple shots. In front of the donut shop where we like to get donuts for our kids.

I showed the kiddo the @universalhub.com French Toast Alert this morning and she thought it was very funny and calculated that we would need up to 72 eggs.

The emotional whiplash between a super excited kid and a very anxious husband is a LOT.

Listening to this Milhoan podcast interview and OH MY GOD this is such a dangerous person to have in charge of ACIP.

Top CDC vaccine adviser questions need for polio shot, other longstanding recommendations The chair of a federal vaccine advisory panel charted a new course for the committee in a podcast released Thursday, questioning longstanding recommendations.

I googled this and I saw Kate Walsh as co-chair and got a sense of where you are coming from

This is what I’m going to do for the next half hour while I wait for CDC to tell me I can use Pandemic Flu funding to prepare for a pandemic because THEIR GUIDE SAYS OTHERWISE

In the office today, and I at one point set my phone to automatically enter “work focus” when I was near the building to eliminate distractions.

Of course, I can just search for the apps I want and procrastinate happily. 🤣
