What You Know About Me

A lady in the streets, a geek in the streets… If the streets were equal parts shenanigans, cocktails, and books… If you’ve made it this far, bless you. Let’s see how long I stick around these streets.

I’m so tired of being insulted by producers in this city. They love the spectacle of Black bodies, but can’t seem to remember them when casting their top billing. Or rather, they can only remember the ones they’re told are appropriate to book. I wonder why. Not. #FuckYouVeryMuch

This is Ivy. She is full of rage. Just because she can fit in your pocket doesn't mean you can let your guard down. Stay vigilant. 12/10

Times Up. Eric Adams has snuggled up to fascism in the most blatant of quid quo pro deals. Contact Gov Hochul call on her to fire the corrupt Nyc Mayor.

LinkedIn post: On January 24th I formally resigned from my position with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). I started at CDC in 2010, and I have spent 20 years in public service, including my 15 years in service at the federal level. 

Here is a little bit of what I wrote in my resignation, because I'm not sure that anyone is actually going to read it. 

"I feel honored to be among the public health professionals that have had the privilege to work at CDC. As I reflect on my own experiences and accomplishments during my time here, I am humbled by the magnitude and the importance of our work. 

To my colleagues: we have worked together through chaos and uncertainty, transition, reorganization, preparation, and response. You are the most selfless, dedicated, and passionate people I know. I have watched you work around the clock, take additional details, deployments, and responsibilities, try to balance work and family, forego self-care, and keep pushing and work together to protect the public’s health. I’ve seen your sacrifice. I want you to know that your support and guidance has been invaluable, and I am proud of the work we have accomplished together."
 
While I was backing up files I found my oath that I signed in 2010. I believe in our work, and I am sad to be leaving federal service. But I have immense gratitude for all of the opportunities that I've had and the connections that I've made. 

I will continue to protect the public's health in a different capacity (stay tuned...) but for now, thank you for trusting me.

The policy lead for CDC's H5N1 response has abruptly resigned.

Sources tell me CDC's response to the bird flu pandemic has been severely hobbled by the chaos of the past two weeks.

Texas Republicans keep saying vouchers are to help low income families, but just blocked an amendment that would have kept families with a $160k household income from being prioritized #txlege

This. This. This. The chaos is the point. Stop complying in advance and protect each other.

Last week I chatted about Nosferatu with a friend like you do. Now I’m unable to erase my brain after hearing this: “You know that final scene with him draining Ellen just looks like a cat trying to throw up.”

Again, retcon. Or at least paying someone to smack the dog sh!t out of them every time they think about going off course. *sigh*

The right is attacking Selena Gomez to make people afraid of speaking out. It’s a well-coordinated attack using the vast digi infrastructure they’ve built. And it will unfortunately work to keep many people with platforms quiet.

Engage with the posts of people who speak out anyway

I’m not a huge fan of horror movies, but vampires are usually the exception. Saw Nosferatu yesterday and I kept flipping between stifling screams at the jump scares and not getting too sucked into the cinematography (because so many of those shots were ‘GUH’).

This might become an annual rewatch…
